In the US, shares of the companies that are the net-importers of metals remained the notable losers. However, the Nasdaq index bucked the overall trend to end higher for the fourth consecutive session. European indices pared earlier losses to end the session in green. The Stoxx Europe 600 and FTSE 100 gained 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively. In Asia, the Japanese benchmark declined 0.8%, weighed by weakness in Banking, Automobiles and Commodities-related stocks. The Chinese Banking stocks edged higher, amid reports that the Central Bank might reduce its foreign reserves for offsetting bad loans in the system. GCC Most GCC equity markets ended lower yesterday, following the resignation of the market-friendly advisor of the US President. The Saudi Arabian benchmark ended 0.2% higher defying the gulf trend, on back of improved sentiments due to steady oil prices in the gulf session. The Dubai benchmark ended 0.7% lower, weighed by weakness in Consumer Staples and Insurance stocks. The Abu Dhabi benchmark ended 0.1% lower, amidst weakness in Investment & Financial Services stocks. Qatar The QE index ended 0.7% lower yesterday, mainly on account of profit booking amongst domestic institutional investors. The market witnessed selling pressure in Real Estate, Insurance, Telecom and Transport sectors. Trade turnover and volumes increased yesterday, with Banking and Telecom sectors together accounting for more than 64% of the total volume. Out of the 45 companies listed, 40 exchanged hands, of which 28 declined, 9 advanced and 3 remained unchanged.

Departure of the market friendly chief economic advisor to the US President weighed on the greenback, as it increased bets about a possibility of a global trade war. The losses in the greenback were limited after the US Fed’s Beige book provided an encouraging assessment about the US economy and inflation. The GBP ended flat, after the EU’s version of the Brexit deal showed a gap between the two sides. The CAD weakened against its US counterpart. However, optimism that the US might exempt from imposing import tariffs on Canadian metals limited the losses. Against the safe haven currencies like JPY, the USD inched lower as the resignation of Gary Cohn left investors jittery.
