The lack of conferences and events during what would typically be peak season is also contributing to the quiet, with events scheduled for this week \u2014 including the Arabian Travel Market \u2014 having been delayed to the fall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>THE BIG STORY here at home is the sell-off returning to markets<\/strong>, even after a brief relief from government initiatives \u2014 like the Central Bank of the UAE\u2019s resilience package \u2014 helped prop up the indices last week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>That came after US President Donald Trump and Iran exchanged a tit-for-tat of war escalation threats<\/strong>, which Trump did backtrack on later in the day, claiming talks with Iran are ongoing \u2014 a claim Iranian state media has quoted Iranian officials as denying. The damage, of course, had already been done, and outflows continued to hit UAE equities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>PLUS- Industry and Advanced Technology Minister Sultan Al Jaber delivered his annual address at the energy meet-up in Houston known as CeraWeek<\/strong> \u2014 virtually this time \u2014 ahead of a visit to Washington later this week for meetings. To no one\u2019s surprise, the war dominated the narrative at the meet-up and in the minister\u2019s speech. We break down the updates on that, and ongoing disruptions to oil and gas and logistics, in this morning\u2019s War Watch below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>WEATHER- The stormy weather continues<\/strong>, with showers and thunderstorms expected across the country, along with highs of 28-29\u00b0C and a low of 21\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Watch this space<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><a id=\"wwtt1\"><\/a> <strong>Wealth platforms are still wagering on the UAE \u2014 even as regional tensions<\/strong><strong> disrupt operations.<\/strong> Backed by Standard Chartered\u2019s innovation arm, fintech firm Vault22 is pushing ahead with plans to launch a shariah-compliant wealth platform in the UAE, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-03-23\/stanchart-backed-vault22-eyes-uae-move-islamic-finance-platform?embedded-checkout=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports. The move is a vote of confidence amid regional turbulence, especially since Standard Chartered was reportedly among those <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/03\/12\/difc-offices-evacuate-while-some-revert-to-remote-work-protocols-amid-missile-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">evacuating its office last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>About the platform: <\/strong>The UAE-based player is set to roll out its Hafiq platform, a personal Islamic finance tool, around the middle of this year. The offerings include an AI-powered shariah screening engine for investments, a real-time zakat calculator, and ETFs and thematic portfolios targeting younger investors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Why here? <\/strong>The move taps into the USD 6 tn global Islamic finance market, and the company has already set up its base in the Dubai Financial Center.

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>UAE indices broke their two-day winning streak yesterday <\/strong>amid the back-and-forth of threats between US President Donald Trump and Iran of further escalation, with broad-based selling taking place across both the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Dubai\u2019s main index slipped 2.7%, while Abu Dhabi\u2019s benchmark fell 1.6%<\/strong>, as disruptions tied to the Strait of Hormuz continue to weigh on sentiment \u2014 pushing Dubai\u2019s YTD losses to 10.7% and Abu Dhabi\u2019s to 5.9%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Declines were widespread on the DFM.<\/strong> Heavyweights like Emaar Properties (-4.6%) and Emirates NBD (-4.9%) dragged the index, with the sell-off also extending across smaller names.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The ADX saw heavy selling across banking stocks and large caps.<\/strong> Declines were led by Aldar Properties, First Abu Dhabi Bank, and Abu Dhabi Ports Company, all down 5%. Gains were selective, with Fertiglobe up 5.7% and Adnoc Distribution gaining over 2%, with limited breadth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The bigger picture <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>UAE markets saw around USD 750 mn in net foreign outflows last week<\/strong>, making them among the most affected across the region, Ibrahim Masood, head of equities at Mashreq, said during a webinar (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mri1uM34AYI\" style=\"\">watch, runtime: 31:31<\/a>).
