Traded value on the Dubai Financial Market tumbled on Wednesday as global stocks declined amid an intensifying US-China trade war. In Abu Dhabi, banking shares surged ahead of first quarter results starting next week.

"The resistance at Dh0.49 holds strong on DXB Entertainments, the trend is expected to remain bearish towards the next lower support level at Dh0.38/0.36," Shiv Prakash, senior analyst with First Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, said.
Emirates NBD and DFM shares will be closely watched as the stocks will go ex-dividend from Thursday.
