Abu Dhabi – Mubasher: Real estate prices increased by about 15 percent in the Emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi from the second quarter of 2021 until this week, with 80,000 units currently under construction.

Julien Haddad, Vice President and Chief Analyst at Moody’s Credit Rating Agency, noted that this strong performance reflects the success of the enhanced visa program recently launched by the UAE government, and the rapid reopening of the economy after the Corona pandemic.

He said: The gross margins of real estate developers in the country increased, driven by strong demand from local and international investors, including large inflows of Russian buyers since last year.

According to a report issued by the agency, real estate market conditions in the UAE will remain healthy during the next 12 to 18 months, but demand will be slower than the past two years..

The report stated that high interest rates have a limited near-term impact on real estate developers, while they will remain positive for banks.

The report explained that although high inflation and interest rate growth may increase risks in the long term for rated and unrated real estate developers.

The latest data from Zoom Property Insights predicts that real estate prices in Dubai will rise by up to 20 percent on average, and that the luxury housing sector will continue to dominate by 13.5 percent on an annual basis in 2023..

This comes amid a further increase in real estate prices and annual rents and growing interest from high-net-worth individuals and foreign investors.

Data issued by the Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi showed momentum in the real estate market movement in the emirate since the beginning of this year, in terms of the value and number of properties sold during that period..

The value of real estate transactions in Abu Dhabi amounted to 20.7 billion dirhams, resulting from 4,600 sales and mortgage transactions that took place during the first quarter of this year..

Noha Makram – Live – The majority of US stocks opened higher today, Friday, adding to their strong gains during the week, against the backdrop of retail sales updates and a decline in oil, which Wall Street sees as signs of a slowdown in the economy.

The S&P 500 index rose by approximately 0.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by approximately 0.2%, or approximately 690 points. While the Nasdaq index fell by 0.1%.

The three American indices are on the verge of recording weekly gains thanks to the mid-week stock jump, amid growing market conviction that the Federal Reserve may lower interest rates.

Investors viewed declining inflation and weak jobs data as signs that central bank tightening is finally limiting US economic growth.

Some investors are seeing similar signs in retailer updates. Gap Inc. issued a bleak forecast for holiday sales in its earnings, joining Walmart and Target in warning that a decline in consumer spending will hit the all-important shopping season.

Oil prices were also a sign of a slowdown with the market set to decline ahead of the OPEC+ meeting later in November. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 1.6%, while Brent futures rose 1.7% on Friday, but both are still heading toward a weekly loss after touching their lowest level in nearly four months.

Data released on Tuesday showed that the core consumer price index remained stable during October, versus expectations for a 0.1% increase. While the core consumer price index rose by 0.2%, below expectations for a 0.1% increase.

Signs of slowing inflation have reinforced investors’ bets that the Fed has finished raising interest rates.

Traders widely expect the Fed to hold rates in December and are betting that it will begin lowering them in May, according to the CME FeedWatch tool.
