- News Economic & Corporate News Blockade not to influence QNB Group’s growth target – QNB Group has made it clear that the ongoing stand-off in the region has not diluted its growth targets. QNB Group’s CEO, Ali Ahmed Al Kuwari said, “Qatari economy is very strong, the banking system is solid. We have maintained our positions and are looking to our growth targets. QNB Group has not adjusted any of its strategies or aspirations.” Al Kuwari said that the bank sees opportunities coming from the ongoing conflict. These opportunities will help reposition Qatar as a very good strong trading hub. (Peninsula Qatar) QNB Group successfully completes Formosa bond issuance – QNB Group announced the successful completion of a Formosa bond issuance under its Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) program in the Taiwanese capital markets. Under this program, a $630mn tranche was issued on September 13, with a maturity of 30 years, callable every five years, carrying an ‘attractive’ fixed coupon rate of 5% per annum. QNB Group said, “The Reg S issue attracted strong interest from Taiwanese investors and was arranged by Standard Chartered Bank. This success confirms the trust of international investors in QNB Group’s strategy and the strength of its financial position.” (Gulf-Times.com) QATI announces it has not been possible to renew the business license for branch in Abu Dhabi – Qatar Insurance Company (QATI) announced that due to the prevailing political events in the region, it was not possible to renew the business license for the company's branch in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, UAE. The company will have to close the branch, which has been engaged in insurance business since 2002 and its underwriting gross premium in this market with an estimated figure of around QR110mn per year. (QSE) QATI looking to expand into new countries amid Saudi Arabialed siege – Qatar Insurance Company (QATI), is focusing on new countries to offset the impact of the Saudi Arabia-led campaign to isolate Qatar, according to a senior executive. QATI’s Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region’s Chief Executive Officer, Salem Khalaf Al Mannai said, “The spat has made us focus on new markets like Oman. In the past three months we have secured business in Oman that is equivalent to our Abu Dhabi business.” (Gulf-Times.com) Ooredoo announces closure of delisting of Ooredoo GDR from the London Stock Exchange – Ooredoo announced that the delisting process of Ooredoo GDR (Global Depositary Receipt) from the London Stock Exchange has closed effective from August 31, 2017. The primary reason for the delisting was that international investors are now easily able to purchase Ooredoo securities on the Qatar Stock Exchange. Ooredoo GDR was admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange on July 1999. (QSE) Qatar flooded banks with QR29.1bn in August to offset outflows – Qatar pumped QR29.1bn into its banking system in August, to cushion it from withdrawals by financial institutions from neighboring Arab states due to the Gulf’s diplomatic crisis, Qatar’s central bank’s data showed. Total deposits at Qatari banks rose to QR793.6bn in August compared to QR772.5bn in July as public sector deposits climbed to QR302.6bn, up from QR273.5bn in July, the data showed. (Reuters) BMI: Funding pressures on Qatari banks due to GCC crisis manageable – Funding pressures within the Qatari banking system resulting from the ongoing Gulf diplomatic crisis will remain manageable, as local lenders retain extra-regional investor confidence and continue to benefit from strong sovereign support, according to BMI Research. Qatari lenders’ loan growth will remain robust over the coming years, driven by large scale public investments into infrastructure, BMI Research noted. Qatari banks are facing funding pressures as a result of the outflow of non-resident deposits sparked by the ongoing diplomatic crisis in the GCC region, it stated. BMI Research noted, “We nevertheless expect these pressures to remain manageable, as Qatari banks retain the ability to attract funding from a variety of extra-regional sources, and as the Qatar Central Bank (QCB) remains both willing and able to intervene to protect liquidity.” (Gulf-Times.com) Mwani Qatar shows 78% rise in cargo volume in August – Qatar Ports Management Authority (Mwani Qatar) has cleared 142,854 tons of general cargo in August 2017 compared to 80,275 tons in July 2017, showing a growth of 78%.

Mwani Qatar also handled 4,870 vehicles, 58,895 heads of livestock and 23,482 tons of aggregate in August 2017. In total, Mwani Qatar cleared 254,234 tons of general cargo in the last three months (June, July, Aug 2017) while during the same period, Mwani Qatar handled around 140,490 standard containers. (Peninsula Qatar) Hamad Port begins two new shipping lines – Hamad Port’s Director, Abdul Aziz Nasser Al Yafei announced the inauguration of two new shipping routes linking the Hamad Port to the Southeast Asia ports, while the other connects the port to the ports of the countries of the Mediterranean basin, and each will take one trip a week during 21 days. (Peninsula Qatar) Oman emerges as ‘a trans-shipment hub for Qatar’ – Oman has emerged as the regional trans-shipment hub for Qatar since the start of the Saudi Arabia-led siege, Arabital Shipping Qatar’s Director, Ibrahim Mohamed Rafi said. He said, “Oman’s Sohar and Salalah ports have replaced the port of Jebel Ali in Dubai as the trans-shipment hub for Qatar. The majority of cargo shipments bound for Qatar used to move through Jebel Ali before the GCC crisis started, but Qatar has swiftly established new routes to cope with the trade disruption caused by the crisis.” Besides the ports in Oman, direct services have also been launched from Hamad Port to India, Pakistan and Kuwait, among many other countries, he said. “Currently, food items are coming into the country through Ruwais Port. This is via a land route from Turkey to Bushehr Port in Iran and then by sea to Ruwais Port,” Rafi, who is a civil engineer by profession, explained. (Gulf-Times.com) Page 2 of 6

- TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QSE INDEX Source : Bloomberg The Index closed down by 0.58% from the week before to 8,360.77. The RSI reached the oversold area which increases the odds for a bounce. The 8,000 is our main support level, while the resistance level remains around the 10,000 mark. DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator – RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between 0 to 100. The index is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, indicating that a correction is likely. On the other hand, if the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the index may be getting oversold and therefore likely to bounce back. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator – The indicator consists of the MACD line and a signal line. The divergence or the convergence of the MACD line with the signal line indicates the strength in the momentum during the uptrend or downtrend, as the case may be. When the MACD crosses the signal line from below and trades above it, it gives a positive indication. The reverse is the situation for a bearish trend. Candlestick chart – A candlestick chart is a price chart that displays the high, low, open, and close for a security. The ‘body’ of the chart is portion between the open and close price, while the high and low intraday movements form the ‘shadow’. The candlestick may represent any time frame. We use a one-day candlestick chart (every candlestick represents one trading day) in our analysis. Doji candlestick pattern – A Doji candlestick is formed when a security's open and close are practically equal. The pattern indicates indecisiveness, and based on preceding price actions and future confirmation, may indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal. Shooting Star/Inverted Hammer candlestick patterns – These candlestick patterns have a small real body (open price and close price are near to each other), and a long upper shadow (large intraday movement on the upside). The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that forms after a rally. The Inverted Hammer looks exactly like a Shooting Star, but forms after a downtrend. Inverted Hammers represent a potential bullish trend reversal. Page 4 of 6
