For the third day in a row, Egyptian stocks fell on Sunday on retail selling, traders said. The North African country's main index EGX 30 slipped by 0.43 per cent, ending the day's trading at 6,393.67 points, its lowest level since March 16. The EGX 70 index, which measures 70 of the country's small and mid caps, shed 0.84 per cent to 565.92 points.

Orascom Construction Industries, Egypt's largest builder by market value, shed 0.23 per cent, closing at LE238.78 per share. Volume hit LE830 million, according to the Egyptian Exchange. Retailers made net sell-offs worth LE49.4 million. On Friday, stocks snapped a three-day losing streak as investors bought beaten-down shares including banks on bets the financial regulation bill won't be as onerous as some had feared, according to Reuters. Nonetheless, the benchmark S&P 500 index was down 10.6 per cent from its April 23 high in what is traditionally considered a correction as investors fled risky assets on fears the eurozone's debt crisis will crimp global growth. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 125.38 points, or 1.25 per cent, to 10,193.39. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index jumped 16.10 points, or 1.50 per cent, to 1,087.69. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 25.03 points, or 1.14 per cent, to 2,229.04.
