Saudi Arabian shares extended losses on Sunday, weakened by disappointing corporate earnings, volatile energy markets and the expectation the U.S. Federal Reserve will hike interest rates next week.

The petrochemical company reported a more-than-23% drop in its third-quarter profit to 1.6 billion Qatari riyals on Thursday.

The Qatari stock market remains exposed to corrections as natural gas prices could suffer a volatile week, according to Daniel Takieddine, CEO MENA BDSwiss. "The latter could be affected by the lack of processing capacity in Europe and higher-than-expected temperatures on the continent," he said.

Shares in Alexandria Container And Cargo Handling rose 7.3% after a 9.1% surge in the previous session. Earlier, the company recorded 669.20 million Egyptian pounds during the first-quarter of fiscal year, an yearly increase of 98.97% from 336.33 million Egyptian pounds.
