June 25 (Reuters) – Most stock markets in the Middle East ended lower on Sunday ahead of Eid-Al-Adha, with the Egyptian bourse underperforming the region.
The benchmark index (.EGX30) was down 2.4% while the Omani market (.MSX30) bucked the trend to finish with a 0.3% gain.
Many investors prefer to cash in holdings ahead of the Eid holiday, which lasts for a week in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and at least three days in other Gulf countries.
