 S&P affirms AA/A-1+ for Qatar, outlook stable – Standard & Poor's (S&P) Ratings Services has affirmed its ‘AA’ long-term and ‘A-1+’ short-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings on Qatar. The outlook is stable. S&P also affirmed the ‘AA’ long-term issue ratings on the bonds issued by Qatari Diar Finance and SoQ Sukuk A. The ratings reflect S&P’s view of Qatar’s high economic wealth and strong fiscal and external balance sheets. (Bloomberg)
 Qatar population rises to 2.18mn – According to the statistics released by the Ministry of Development Planning & Statistics (MDPS), Qatar’s population grew by 7.5% year-on-year to reach an all-time high of 2,187,326 as of September 30. There are 1,634,088 males and 553,238 females as of September 30. This compares to the August 31 population figure of 2,077,357. (Gulf- Times.com)
 Reuters: Qatar to outperform GCC states with 6.7% growth – According to a Reuters poll of analysts, Qatar’s economy is expected to keep outperforming the other five GCC states with a 6.7% growth in 2015, much faster than the 6.0% forecasted in April, as the country spends billions of dollars on infrastructure as it gears up to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. However, the higher growth forecast also means that the price pressures in the world’s top liquefied natural gas exporter are expected to intensify, taking the inflation rate to 4.0% in 2015 and 4.5% in 2016, the highest among the Gulf countries. Masraf Al Rayan’s (MARK) Senior Economist Farah Ahmed Hersi said that the capital investment into the economy is expanding, population is growing at a double-digit rate and projects are getting fully underway. Despite all these infrastructure-building activity, the construction inflation in the country is still remarkably low. The poll showed that Gulf Arab economies are likely to grow slightly faster in 2015, driven by strong private business activity despite further falls in oil prices. (Reuters)
 Non-oil sector seen infusing 9.1% growth to Qatar’s GDP – GCC business consultant Dr. Abdul Latif Al-Khaja said that industries in the non-hydrocarbon sector are expected to contribute 9.1% to Qatar’s GDP growth between 2013 and 2016. According to Al-Khaja, Qatar’s GDP growth is expected to reach 6.9% between 2013 and 2016 with the oil & gas sector contributing an expected 4.4% and the non-hydrocarbon industries 9.1%. While the government has focused on developing Qatar’s energy sector in the past, Al-Khaja said the oil & gas industry would take a back seat as investment in the non-hydrocarbon industries will drive the economy.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QE INDEX
Source: Bloomberg
The QE Index declined around 44 points and drifted lower for the second consecutive week. The index failed to make any further headway above 13,900.0 and retreated, as the bulls were unable to push through. However, the index managed to stay above the 13,750.0-13,800.0 support zone after testing these levels few times in the week. This proves the index has strong support and attracts buying interest near this support band. The intermediate trend formed due to the current fall is not alarming as the index is trading above its strong support zone. Such corrections are a part of the bull-phase. Going ahead, 13,750.0-13,800.0 will be the key band to watch out for, as it will act as a make or break level for the index. Bulls need not worry until the index stays above this support band. Any penetration below this band may result in selling pressure and would pull the index toward the 55-day moving average. In case of sustained weakness, the next support level will be at 13,500.0. On the positive side, technically, the big rally may only resume when the index breaches the 21-day moving average. Meanwhile, both the momentum indicators are providing mixed signals, indicating lack of clarity in index’s current direction. Thus, the traders may expect a volatile week ahead.
DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator – RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between 0 to 100. The index is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, indicating that a correction is likely. On the other hand, if the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the index may be getting oversold and therefore likely to bounce back.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator – The indicator consists of the MACD line and a signal line. The divergence or the convergence of the MACD line with the signal line indicates the strength in the momentum during the uptrend or downtrend, as the case may be. When the MACD crosses the signal line from below and trades above it, it gives a positive indication. The reverse is the situation for a bearish trend.
Candlestick chart – A candlestick chart is a price chart that displays the high, low, open, and close for a security. The ‘body’ of the chart is portion between the open and close price, while the high and low intraday movements form the ‘shadow’. The candlestick may represent any time frame. We use a one-day candlestick chart (every candlestick represents one trading day) in our analysis.
Doji candlestick pattern – A Doji candlestick is formed when a security's open and close are practically equal. The pattern indicates indecisiveness, and based on preceding price actions and future confirmation, may indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
Shooting Star/Inverted Hammer candlestick patterns – These candlestick patterns have a small real body (open price and close price are near to each other), and a long upper shadow (large intraday movement on the upside). The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that forms after a rally. The Inverted Hammer looks exactly like a Shooting Star, but forms after a downtrend. Inverted Hammers represent a potential bullish trend reversal.
