The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) index recorded a sharp rally this week, surpassing the 5,200-point barrier for the first time in three years, driven by unprecedented foreign investment flows totaling AED 2.4 billion in a single week.
Banking and financial services stocks led the gainers, with Emirates NBD rising 4.1% and ADCB jumping over 3.7%, while daily trading volumes exceeded historical averages by 180%.
Analysts noted the performance reflects growing international investor confidence in the UAE economy amid continuous regulatory reforms and strong corporate earnings.
