The UAE Stock markets closed higher on Tuesday, led by gains in heavyweight real estate and banking sectors.
In Abu Dhabi, the FADX 15 , the first co-developed index under ADX's strategic partnership with FTSE Russell, advanced 3.511 % bolstered by the International Holding Co PJSC (ASMAK) surging to AED388.800 following the Abu Dhabi government's decision to transfer the ownership of Etihad Aviation Group — the parent of Etihad Airways — to the holding company.
Following suit, FAB, ADIB, and ADCB closed higher 2.43 %, 1.56 % and 0.89 % respectively.
Likewise, Dubai's main share index (DFMGI) closed 0.98% higher, driven by improved sentiments at the real estate and banking sectors. Dubai Islamic Bank, Emirates NBD, and Emaar Properties all ended the session favourably by 1.5 %, 0.76 % and 0.82 % respectively.
