Early on Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition said its air defenses intercepted two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis toward Riyadh, the Saudi Press Agency reported. Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index slipped 0.25%, a smaller fall than the 0.44% drop in Bahrain’s All Share Index. Egypt’s EGX 30 was 0.28% lower in the first minutes of trading.

Intraday values read between 08:06 and 08:08 GMT from each exchange’s own page, snapshots, not closes; the Boursa Kuwait, Bahrain and Muscat pages carry a 15-minute delay, the Qatar page was last updated at 08:02 GMT, and Cairo opened 8 minutes before the Egyptian Exchange page was read at 08:08 GMT, so its row carries the opening direction; all measured against the closes of Thursday 12 November as published and ranked by change. Where a page prints its change without a sign (Amman), the direction is confirmed against the prior close. The Dubai and Abu Dhabi exchanges do not trade on Sundays.
What to watch: Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Statistics publishes September producer prices on Monday 16 November, and China’s National Bureau of Statistics releases October activity data at 02:00 GMT the same day.
