Kuwait surprising gains

Kuwait stood out with its big gains that came as a surprise at the start of 2017, closing on 20% of monthly gains, as there are few concrete reasons behind this rally in the current cycle compared to the reality that endured 3 tough years starting from the start of 2013, maybe now it's time for a new and completely different cycle.

Egypt, Qatar, UAE

Following Kuwait, Egypt and Qatar also made good gains in January, while the UAE markets closed with several winners. To put things in perspective, January's gains are an extension of the movement that began in November in conjunction with the OPEC deal. As February kicks off, investors will drive this cycle strongly if the momentum continues, or will move into profit-taking if the rally falters.
