UAE equities extended their upward trajectory on Wednesday, supported by robust liquidity inflows and sustained investor appetite for blue-chip stocks, with Dubai Financial Market General Index climbing 1.9% to close at 5,828 points.
Trading activity was notably strong early in the session, with total liquidity reaching AED 1.36 billion within the first two hours. Of this, AED 707.25 million was recorded on the Dubai Financial Market, while AED 655 million flowed into the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.
Dubai-listed equities posted broad-based gains, led by heavyweight property developer Emaar Properties, which rose 2.3% to AED 12.28. Its subsidiary, Emaar Development, advanced 3.2% to AED 15.48.
Banking and consumer-facing stocks also contributed to the rally. Shares of Emirates NBD gained 1.6%, while Talabat climbed 2.7%. Meanwhile, Air Arabia surged 4.8%, marking one of the session’s strongest performances, and Dubai Islamic Bank added 1%.
In Abu Dhabi, the ADX General Index rose 0.5% to 9,889 points, reflecting continued positive sentiment across the UAE’s largest listed companies.
Among the top performers, Aldar Properties increased 1%, while Alpha Dhabi Holding gained 1.8%. Banking stocks also posted moderate advances, with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank up 0.7% and First Abu Dhabi Bank rising 0.43%.
The overall market performance underscores sustained investor confidence in UAE equities, driven by strong liquidity conditions and a continued rotation into market-leading stocks. Analysts point to steady capital inflows and resilient corporate fundamentals as key factors supporting the current rally.
With both Dubai and Abu Dhabi markets maintaining upward momentum, investors are likely to remain focused on earnings visibility and macroeconomic signals in the sessions ahead.
