MIDEAST STOCKS-Banks weigh on Saudi, Other Gulf markets mixed - Agricultural Commodities - Reuters:

Saudi Arabia’s stock market fell sharply on Tuesday amid escalating trade tensions between China and the United States, while Qatar and Abu Dhabi opened higher on back of their financials. 


A year-long U.S.-China trade war boiled over on Monday as Washington accused Beijing of manipulating its currency after China let the yuan drop to its lowest point in more than a decade.

The Saudi Arabian index was down 1.3%, continuing its losing streak for the fifth straight session as all its banking shares declined.
