MIDEAST STOCKS-Major Gulf markets rebound as U.S.-China trade war simmers - Reuters:

Major Gulf markets rebounded on Wednesday, mostly on back of their financial shares, after U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed fears of a prolonged trade dispute with Beijing and China’s central bank stepped in to stabilise the yuan. 


The offshore yuan pulled back from an all-time low on Tuesday after Beijing appeared to take steps to prevent the currency from weakening further, following a sharp drop that prompted the U.S. government to declare China was manipulating its currency.

Dubai’s index traded 1.3% higher in a boost from real estate stocks which all rose. Emaar Properties increased 1.7% and its unit Emaar Malls gained 3.1%.
