SABB Takaful, a Saudi Arabian Shariah-compliant life insurer, climbed for a fourth day. “It seems the production cuts by Opec are keeping oil from falling further,” Sunil Dhall, vice-president at Gulf Baader Capital Markets SAOC, said in a phone interview from Oman. “Investors are also hoping next year will see higher spending by governments and that it will keep this region growing.”
Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index added 1 per cent at 4,733.98 at 1:31p.m. local time, while Qatar’s DSM 20 Index rose less than 0.1 per cent.

Bank Muscat, Oman’s largest lender, climbed 6.1 per cent at the close, the most since November 5, to 797 baizas.
