UAE Closes Abu Dhabi and Dubai Stock Markets Through March 3 Amid Iranian Strike Fallout

The UAE Capital Market Authority announced that both the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and Dubai Financial Market (DFM) will remain closed on Monday March 2 and Tuesday March 3, 2026, citing the ongoing fallout from Iranian missile and drone strikes on the country. The CMA stated it will continue monitoring regional developments. The move protects trillions of dirhams in listed assets from panic selling as Iranian attacks on UAE soil continued into a second day.
