MIDEAST STOCKS-Saudi falls on bank losses; other Gulf markets quiet - Reuters:

Saudi Arabian stocks opened lower on Thursday, extending previous losses, after declines by banking shares. Other major Gulf markets were little changed.

The Saudi index fell 0.3% in early trade as Al Rajhi Bank declined 0.5% and Samba Financial Group was down 1%.

Among other stocks, Saudi Basic Industries decreased 0.8%.

Saudi Aramco’s bookrunners have recommended pricing its initial public offering at 32 riyals ($8.5) per share, the top of an indicated price range, Reuters reported, citing three sources familiar with the deal, potentially making it the world’s biggest IPO.
