Dubai: The Dubai Financial Market’s (DFM) general index declined 16.43 points, or 0.58%, to close at 2,832.98 points on Tuesday, dragged down by profit-taking.

The DFM's decline today was widely expected as portfolios sought rapid gains, MindCraft Consultants’ CEO Fadi El Ghattis said, adding that the market may maintain its negative performance until the end of the week.
