    RIYADH: Saudi stocks closed higher on Tuesday, bucking the downward trend in most Middle Eastern and global markets.

    TASI rebounded from three days of losses to advance 0.5 percent to 12,300, while the parallel market Nomu lost 0.5 percent to 22,251.

    Stock exchanges of Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Dubai, and Egypt dropped 2.5, 2.2, 1.5, and 1 percent, respectively.

    While those of Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman edged down between 0.2 and 0.4 percent.

    In energy trading, oil prices recorded gains on Wednesday as tight supply outweighed concerns over a potential recession and China’s COVID-19 curbs.

    Brent crude added 0.6 percent to $114.28 a barrel and US West Texas Intermediate gained nearly 0.7 percent to $110.53 a barrel as of 9:11 a.m. Saudi time.
