UAE: Prepared To Turn More Constructive After The Recent Blip

UAE is up by 19% on a YTD basis but has given up some of its sturdy gains since July. UAE's non-oil sector is thriving, making up over 77% of GDP, with strong recent growth and a rebound in the PMI, which had seen a temporary blip due to regional tensions. The ETF's performance is heavily influenced by Emaar Properties and First Abu Dhabi Bank, both of which have robust growth, attractive valuations, and well-rounded dividend profiles.
