UAE equities posted a mixed performance with DFM rising 0.65 per cent and ADX slipping back into the red by 0.14 per cent.

For a change, Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa), closed 3.47 per cent lower for the day, which caps a glorious run that lifted it to the top of the UAE stock charts in terms of market capitalization. After Tuesday’s close, Taqa’s market cap stands at Dh156.28 billion, still enough to retain its number one standing.

The second largest company, Etisalat, has a market capitalization of Dh143.84 billion.

Overall, DFM and ADX, manage to hold above their 50- as well as their 100-day moving average.
