US equities were down with S&P and DJIA posting their biggest one-day loss as investors feared that failure to pass the proposed healthcare bill could imperil tax and spending reforms, which spurred sell-off. Banking stocks plunged as bond yields continued its downward trajectory. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 0.5% with commodity producers being the biggest drag, tracking losses in steel and copper prices.

Chinese indices however bucked the broader trend, bolstered by signs of steady inflows from Chinese investors and signs of global recovery. GCC Most Gulf indices rose on Tuesday amidst a thin trading volume. Abu Dhabi’s benchmark ended 1.2% higher on the back of gains in the Banking sectors with NBAD up 1.9%. Aldar Properties rose 1.3% after its Chairman announced plans targeting to increase its operating income to AED 2.2bn in 2020 from the current AED 1.6bn. Saudi Arabia’s index ended in red dragged down by Insurance stocks as increased industry competition raised expectation of consolidation. Saudi Indian Company for Cooperative Insurance slumped 8.7% after its board proposed capital reduction. Qatar QE index climbed 0.8% with most shares advancing on the back of passive funds inflow in the lead up to their upgrade in FTSE Russell's secondary market index. Foreign institutions turned net buyers for the day. The index witnessed bullish bets particularly in Telecom and Industrial. Banking stocks were also among the gainers with Masraf Al Rayan and the Commercial Bank up 2.4% and 3.9%, respectively.
