Dubai's main share index (.DFMGI) fell 0.4% after gains in the previous session, as Emirates NBD Bank (ENBD.DU) shed 1.1% and blue-chip developer Emaar Properties (EMAR.DU) lost 0.8%.
Abu Dhabi's index (.FTFADGI) ended flat, with conglomerate International Holding Company losing 0.3%, while telecoms operator Etisalat Group (ETISALAT.AD) rose 0.1%.
