  8. MSM ‐ Market Watch Source: Bloomberg, GBCM Research Market Outlook – Risk on rally to continue amid improved global market cues and higher oil prices… During the previous trading session, all the GCC markets ended on a stronger note, except for Kuwait amid buying continued across the board along with increased market participation. MSM had eight consecutive sessions of positive closing lead by improved market sentiments and on active traders participation. MSM is trading 6% positive year to date, the second best performing market in the region. We expect the MSM and the GCC equities to open on a stronger note for the day and to see the risk on rally continuing lead by improved global market cues and also on higher oil prices. We would still maintain our cautious view ahead of the April 17th meeting in Doha between OPEC and Non‐OPEC members, which would determine the direction of the market during rest of the year. MSM technically trading closer to 200 day moving average levels (5,730 (5 730 points), points) breaking these levels would lead to further momentum driven rally. rally GBCM Morning Briefing 8
