UAE market news & discussions for 21 May 2007

ADSM continued its steady climb with First Gulf Bank performing well, while DFM went the other way although Dubai Investments looked encouraging.

Shuaa Capital AGM agenda is available. Aramex forecast profit increase of 20-30% for 2007. ESCA asked media to report accurately. A report this morning that ESCA said all companies had filed 2007 Q1 accounts on time appeared to be inaccurate.
