Qatar shares edge up as index stays above 10,000 mark for 24th day
December 12, 2013--The Qatar Exchange was back on the positive trajectory; mainly lifted by real estate, telecom, transport and industrials stocks.

The key index has been remaining above the 10,000 mark for the 24th consecutive day. However, domestic institutions turned bearish and their foreign counterparts were inclined towards higher selling in the market, which is up 25.45% year-to-date.
