According to Swiss private bank Sarasin & Cie., which runs branches in Dubai and Doha (in a joint venture with Alpen Capital), global stock market declines in the second quarter have been "exaggerated" and offer buying opportunities in the cyclical sector in particular, the bank says in its latest Global View report.
