Doha, June 11 (QNA) - Qatar's stock index ended the week down 0.70 percent, losing 71.98 points to close at 10,263 points compared to the previous week, pressured by six sectors.

Transportation recorded the biggest decline, down 1.61 percent, followed by real estate at 1.45 percent, while telecoms posted a marginal gain of 0.07 percent, remaining the only sector in the green.

Market analyst Yousef Boulaiqa told Qatar News Agency (QNA) that ongoing uncertainty continues to weigh on Qatar's stock market performance, driven by geopolitical tensions, increased selling pressure on blue-chip stocks, and anticipation of central bank policy decisions.

He noted that investor caution has been reinforced by global inflation trends and interest rate expectations, adding that further selling pressure may persist ahead of second-quarter 2026 corporate earnings.

He stressed that market performance will remain dependent on geopolitical developments, corporate results, and monetary policy direction, which play a key role in shaping investor risk appetite. (QNA)
