Gulf markets experienced a notable rise as Iran downplayed the impact of Israel's recent military strikes. The strikes, which occurred over the weekend, targeted Iranian military facilities and resulted in the deaths of four soldiers, but avoided sensitive nuclear sites, leading analysts to view the attack as non-escalatory. Following this development, major Gulf bourses, including the Tadawul All Share Index ($TASI) and the Qatar Stock Exchange ($QSE), saw gains. European stocks also reflected a positive trend amid easing tensions in the Middle East. Overall, the market response indicates a level of investor confidence despite the regional volatility.
