Global Investors Expected to Reassess Risk Premium on Middle East Stocks -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-02 19:54

1154 GMT - The Middle East crisis is expected to have an overall negative impact on regional equities, especially as the risk premium for the region gets reassessed by global investors, Citi analysts say in a note. "In a scenario of prolonged hostilities, we would expect sectors like real estate, financials, mobility/transport, IT services and retail to underperform low-beta sectors (like consumer staples, healthcare, food grocery/delivery, telcos)," they say.Vice-versa, lower-beta sectors are likely to potentially underperform in a scenario of a relatively rapid resolution to the conflict, the analysts say. On a regional level, Saudi stocks could possibly outperform peers in other Gulf Arabic markets. Within the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi-geared names could potentially outperform Dubai-geared names, according to Citi. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
