Most Gulf bourses fall

Gulf stock markets mostly fell in early trade on Monday with Dubai leading the slide, dragged down by a decline in construction firm Arabtec to a five-year low.

The Dubai index dropped 1.0 per cent as Arabtec sank 7.4 per cent to Dh0.925, falling below technical support on its December 2015 low of Dh0.93.

The company reported a week ago that its net loss had widened in the fourth quarter and that its board was seeking shareholder approval for a Dh1.5 billion ($408.4 million) rights issue.

Nine of the 10 most heavily traded stocks in Dubai fell although DXB Entertainments climbed 4.7 per cent. Courier Aramex edged up 0.2 per cent after its board recommended paying a cash dividend of 16 per cent of paid-up capital for 2016, up from 15 per cent for 2015.

Abu Dhabi's index lost 0.5 per cent as Dana Gas tumbled 6.1 per cent after revising down its unaudited preliminary results for 2016 to a net loss of $88 million from the net profit of $33 million which it had previously reported.

It cited a ruling by London's Court of International Arbitration earlier this month in its dispute with the Kurdistan Regional Government; the ruling reduced unrealised interest recorded on Dana's books.

In Saudi Arabia, the index fell 0.4 per cent in the first hour of trade in broad-based profit-taking.

Arabian Cement rose 2.4 per cent after its board recommended a cash dividend of SR2 per share for the second half of 2016.
