MIDEAST STOCKS-Protests continue to weigh on Egypt; major Gulf markets mixed - Agricultural Commodities - Reuters:

Egypt’s stocks market fell in early trade on Monday, extending the previous session’s sharp drop after protests broke out over the weekend.

On Friday, hundreds of people protested in central Cairo and several other Egyptian cities against President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, responding to an online call for a demonstration against government corruption.

The blue-chip stock index fell 0.8% after Sunday’s 5.4% plunge, its biggest since June 2016.
