Mideast Stocks: Saudi continues winning streak, other Gulf markets mixed | ZAWYA MENA Edition:

Saudi Arabia's stock market rose for a fifth straight session on Wednesday as nearly all its banks gained, while other major Middle Eastern markets were mixed.

Saudi's index closed 1.1% higher with National Commercial Bank, the country's largest lender, gaining 2.7% and Al Rajhi Bank adding 1%.

The index has gained nearly 16% year-to-date, outperforming its major Gulf peers in a rally led by foreign investors, who have been net buyers of Saudi stocks every month this year.
