Driven by a selective buying spree targeting some bank shares as well as Etisalat, the UAE stock markets ended Thursday's transactions on a high note, securing decent gains amounting to around AED3.5 billion.
Within this context, DFM General Index closed up 0.07 percent to 3657 points , with ADX General Index following suit by 0.62 percent to 4481.

Emirates NBD was among the shares that closed in the green, rising to AED8.31 followed by Mashreq Bank which went 8.1 percent to AED80.00 while Dubai Islamic Bank closed at AED6.19.

A total of 3796 transactions worth AED550 million were conducted over 265 million shares. Out of 62 trading companies, 17 firms closed high, 33 down and 12 at their last traded prices.
