The Dubai Financial Market (DFM) index again closed in the negative territory yesterday as the global and regional market sentiments remained largely bearish on negative global economic growth sentiments.

Analysts say the regional markets are trading with a negative bias as international oil prices which are a major support to their economy are falling.
