Saudi Arabia's stock market ended slightly lower on Sunday in response to Friday's fall in oil prices, while the Qatari index inched higher to notch up a third consecutive session of gains. Oil prices, a key catalyst for the Gulf's financial markets, had dropped around 2% on expectations that supply disruptions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico would be short-term, while recession fears clouded the demand outlook. Saudi Arabia's benchmark index eased 0.1%, hit by a 1.2% fall in Riyad Bank and a 0.7% slip in Saudi British Bank.
