The benchmark QE index ended yesterday’s trading below the 8,300 point level, down by 1.2 percent, or 96 points, hitting a more than six-year low.
The benchmark lost more than 2,000 points, or 21 percent year-to-date (YTD).
Also, the index extended its losing streak for the eighth straight week, driven by the GCC diplomatic rift.
QE lost 21 percent, or QAR 115 billion of its market value. Market capitalization declined yesterday to QAR 452.5 billion compared to QAR 567.6 billion last December.
