Saudi Arabia faces growing economic pressure as Houthi threats target the kingdom and its East-West oil pipeline could remain mostly shut for six weeks, tightening supply routes around the Red Sea. European oil prices surge as Aramco delays some deliveries, while Russia extends its diesel export ban through September and tighter Chinese fuel stockpiles raise the prospect of export curbs. Oil’s supply-driven rally, however, begins to look overdone.
The US 10-year Treasury yield tops 5% ahead of the Federal Reserve decision, with traders pricing in more than a 90% chance of a rate hike. Bloomberg Economics says Kevin Warsh could leave another hike in play as the Fed is seen potentially raising rates despite pressure from Trump. Markets await the decision as Bessent prepares to meet his Chinese counterpart, with tariffs, US energy and agricultural exports and differences over AI expected on the agenda.
Bitcoin suffers its biggest drop since June after the US Senate blocks a bill, while Bessent says he supports $5,000 checks for Americans and believes they could be funded without increasing the deficit.
In AI, Trump advisers meet with Anthropic executives as OpenAI weighs a funding round valuing the company at $1.2 trillion and works with Anthropic and Google on AI safety. Hong Kong plans to double spending on technology and innovation.
Dubai continues to attract strong global tourism demand, with Kazim saying visitors from the CIS, Far East and Middle East are increasing, although the city remains reliant on Emirates and flydubai to bring in tourists.
In Africa, El Niño is straining Ethiopia’s power supply as drying dams force cuts to Bitcoin miners, who consume almost a third of the country’s electricity. Senegal seeks a debt plan under the G20 framework, the US restricts visa access for some South Africans, and Vodacom plans to appeal a ruling involving its Safaricom stake sale. Guests includes Jeffrey Sexton, Demeter Tactical Investments CEO, Issam Kazim, Dubai Corp for Tourism and Commerce Marketing CEO and Guy Wolf, Marex Market Analytics Global Head.
