Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has announced that Nasdaq Dubai will reopen for trading effective Wednesday, 4 March 2026, at 10.00 am GST. The decision follows a temporary market halt amid current developments in the Middle East.
Nasdaq Dubai operates within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and serves as an international exchange for regional and global investors. The platform facilitates trading in equities, derivatives, sukuk, and conventional bonds. Therefore, the reopening restores access to a key capital markets venue for issuers and institutional participants.
Market Oversight and Monitoring
The DFSA continues to monitor regional developments closely. Moreover, it remains in regular contact with relevant authorities and advisory bodies to assess conditions.
As a result, market participants are expected to evaluate liquidity trends and pricing adjustments when trading resumes. However, broader sentiment will likely depend on stability across regional markets and cross-border capital flows.
The reopening marks a step toward normalising trading activity following recent disruptions linked to current market tensions.
