  • United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, April 24 - 2013 at 13:55

The Dubai equity index DFMGI rose 1.57% to reach 2,052.91 points. Bank Emirates NBD, the first lender in the UAE and number two in the GCC, jumped 10.64% to hit Dhs4.99, the highest level since Nov. 2008. Earlier in the day, Credit Suisse beat analysts' forecasts when it reported a net profit of CHF1.3bn ($1.376bn) for the first quarter, up from CHF44m ($45.57m) last year and mainly based on good results in the investment banking unit. The news from Switzerland along with the Japanese Nikkei index surge to a 5-year high fuelled the rally. Dubai bellwether Emaar Properties advanced 1.50% to reach Dhs5.43. Some 312m shares were traded, valued at Dhs415m.
