Markets in the United Arab Emirates closed lower on Tuesday as investors assessed the latest data from the country's non-oil private sector.At the close of trading, the FTSE ADX General Index shed 0.303%, while the DFM General Index lost 0.879%.The S&P Global UAE PMI declined to 52.1 in April from 52.9 in the prior month, marking the softest improvement in operating conditions since February 2021. New order growth for non-oil businesses and export orders slowed down amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, while overall input costs rose the sharpest since July 2024."The UAE non-oil private sector signalled a further loss of momentum in April, with operating conditions showing their weakest performance for more than five years.
