Stock markets in the Gulf may recover some of the previous session’s losses on Wednesday as oil prices stage a comeback, but investors are likely to be cautious ahead of first-quarter earnings season in the region.

Brent futures bounced from one-month lows and were trading 1.9 per cent higher at $38.59 in early Asian trade on Wednesday.

On Tuesday Gulf bourses pulled back, with Qatar’s index falling 2.2 per cent as investors dumped blue chips.

But Dubai’s index , although it slid 0.3 per cent to 3,370 points, closed well off its lows as speculative stocks built momentum in the final hour of trade.
