In light of the tension between Washington and Beijing, most of the Gulf stock exchanges declined Most of the stock markets in the Gulf fell with the close of trading on Tuesday, amid escalating tension between China and the United States, following a visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.

Meanwhile, the United States on Monday imposed sanctions on Chinese and other companies it said had helped sell tens of millions of dollars in Iranian oil and petrochemical products to East Asia as it sought to increase pressure on Tehran to curb its nuclear programme.
