(Bloomberg) -- The end of an embargo on Qatar has come at a handy time for the Gulf’s biggest equity-focused exchange traded fund, just as the gas-rich country is set to get a boost from hosting one of the world’s most popular events.Inflows to the Doha-based Al Rayan Qatar ETF jumped when news of the potential normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia emerged late last year. Daily volumes surged earlier this month as the end of a three-year rift that also included the United Arab Emirates was finally confirmed.The Shariah-compliant ETF is listed in Doha, with a market capitalization of about $153 million, and has returned almost 19% since its inception in 2018. It allocates holdings to the 23 stocks currently in the QE Al Rayan Islamic Index. The fund started less than a year after the group of Arab countries cut ties with Qatar for allegedly supporting terrorist groups, an accusation Qatar has always denied.Now, as Qatar gets ready to host the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament next year, the benefit for listed companies ranging from logistics to telecommunications and hospitality helps to build an investment case that could appeal to wealthy Saudi and Emirati individuals, according to the fund’s manager.“Take this country of two and a half million and add 500,000 to a 1 million visitors over a two, or three-week period and the significance is obvious,” Akber Khan, senior director of asset management at Al Rayan Investment in Doha, said in an interview. “It’s not just the month-long tournament that’s important, it takes elaborate planning to execute.”Economic activity is expected to accelerate in the year prior to the tournament, he said. “Kick off is 21 November, 2022, but well before that logistics, utilities, telecoms, retailers, banks will all benefit.”Qatar’s benchmark QE Index, composed of 20 stocks, is up 4.1% this year, against a 2.7% increase for the QE Al Rayan Islamic Index.Spreading the WordIt’s now time to remind potential investors in Riyadh, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai of the attractions of the Qatar equity market, Khan said. “We certainly plan to be more active getting the word out across the region as soon as travel restrictions and Covid-19 lockdowns ease. For now, we will have to make do with webinars and video calls.”While the Al Rayan fund might look tiny when compared to some traded in the U.S. and Europe, it stands out in a region where the product is still not widely available. There are three equity-focused ETFs listed in Saudi Arabia and one in the UAE, all with less than $20 million in assets.“We invested time in trying to understand why previous ETFs in the region had not been successful,” Khan said. It took more than four years of talks with local regulators to come up with a framework that Al Rayan believed would allow the asset class to thrive.Market reforms were introduced during this process, such as allowing short selling and permitting covered short-positions by brokers providing liquidity for the ETF. “It was critical to get all these things correct, otherwise the product life would have been very limited,” Khan said.Read more: The UAE And Qatar Are More Alike Than Apart: Amr Adly(Adds stock performance in Doha this year in seventh paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Walt Disney's resort in the Chinese city of Shanghai said on Monday it was investigating after a travel agency apparently refused to let a member of the Uighur Muslim minority use a resort and lodging package sold by a hotel nearby. Screenshots of a conversation between a customer who identified as ethnic Uighur and was looking to book a Disney resort package at the Aishabao Apartment Hotel in Shanghai, and travel booking platform Zlton.com, were shared on Chinese social media and on Twitter over the weekend. The guest was shown a notification that the package was not open to Uighurs, foreigners or holders of Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan identification cards, and was told the same by a Zlton customer service representative, according to screenshots of the exchange.
A Milan court on Monday begins weighing whether to extradite an Italian woman to the Vatican to face embezzlement-related charges in a case that could test whether Italy considers the Vatican a state where someone can get a fair trial. Already two Italian courts have ruled against Vatican prosecutors in their wide-ranging corruption investigation, which has highlighted the incompatibility of the Vatican justice system with European norms. In the case before the Milan appeals court, lawyers for Cecilia Marogna, a self-described intelligence analyst, are expected to argue that she shouldn’t be extradited to the Vatican because there’s no extradition treaty between the two states.

(Bloomberg) -- Gold steadied, recovering from an almost seven-week low, amid caution in markets as investors assessed the outlook for the dollar and the timeline for a U.S. stimulus package.European equities and U.S. futures were under pressure and Asian stocks were mixed. Global shares slipped last week after optimism about the $1.9 trillion U.S. aid package, and the so-called reflation trade, faltered into a long weekend, with U.S. markets shut Monday for a holiday. Bullion recovered from earlier losses “amid broad risk-off sentiment,” said Margaret Yang, a strategist at DailyFX.“Market sentiment is tilted toward the cautious side after U.S. equities pulled back from their recent highs, despite robust corporate earnings,” Yang said. “As U.S. markets are closed for a public holiday, thinner liquidity conditions could exacerbate price volatility.”Meanwhile, former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is expected to affirm the U.S.’s commitment to market-determined exchange rates when she testifies on Capitol Hill Tuesday, and she’ll make clear the U.S. doesn’t seek a weaker dollar for competitive advantage, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. A gauge of the greenback climbed in the past two weeks, putting pressure on gold.Bullion has fallen more than 3% this year as U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar climbed on hopes that Covid-19 vaccines and more fiscal stimulus will aid an economic recovery. Inflation expectations have increased, though too slowly to compensate for the rise in bond rates, diminishing gold’s appeal in what has typically been a strong month for the metal in the past decade.Hedge funds cut their net-long positions by almost a third in the week to Jan. 12, while exchange-traded funds capped the first weekly outflow in four on Friday.Spot gold added 0.2% to $1,832.76 an ounce by 10:30 a.m. in London, after earlier falling as much as 1.3% to the lowest since Dec. 1. Silver and platinum edged higher, while palladium declined.
