Trading on the UAE’s capital markets will resume on Wednesday, March 4, following a two-day suspension triggered by regional security developments.
The UAE Capital Market Authority said activities on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) will restart after markets were closed on March 2 and 3 as a precautionary measure.
The halt came after missile and drone strikes by Iran targeting several Gulf countries, including the UAE, amid escalating tensions involving the US and Israel. Regulators paused trading to assess risks and ensure market stability during the period of uncertainty.
In a statement, the authority said the decision to reopen was made in coordination with ADX and DFM in line with previously announced timelines. It added that monitoring of developments will continue and that regulatory steps will be taken as needed to safeguard investors and maintain orderly market operations.
Investors and market participants were advised to rely on official communications from the Securities and Commodities Authority, ADX and DFM for further updates.
