MENA
Middle East and Eastern European exchanges, including Sunday-start markets.
Most Middle Eastern and North African exchanges trade Sunday through Thursday - the regional weekend falls on Friday. The UAE switched to a Monday-Friday week in 2022, putting Dubai and Abu Dhabi on a Western calendar while Saudi, Qatar, Egypt and Kuwait kept the older pattern.
Sessions are short: typically four to five hours, often closing before the European cash open.
