What has actually been checked
The official bulletin was selected through DFM’s calendar during this review. It verifies the dated close and point change. The old provider’s opening/high/low fields have not been independently matched here and are not used to explain the session. A cash index does not have a delivery month; DFM index futures are separate instruments.
What the fall does not prove
The index result alone does not establish that property shares, banking conditions, oil or regional liquidity caused the decline. The earlier generic driver checklist has been removed because it was not supported by session-specific primary evidence. A later index value must not be substituted into this September report.
Correction — 12 October 2026: Cash-index levels in this report and its summaries are expressed in index points, not cash prices in AED. A return series may have a base currency; that does not make the quoted index level an amount payable for the index. Only the unit labels have changed. Historical values, percentages, observation times and the original publication date are preserved. This correction does not independently verify the archived provider observations.

Archive clarification — 17 October 2026: The close and point change were checked against the dated exchange bulletin. The grammar and unit inconsistency were corrected, and unverified intraday detail and generic causal suggestions were removed. Historical prices were not replaced. The original URL, publication and modification date fields, image assignment and byline are unchanged. This is a correction of the historical report, not a new market update.
