Oil Prices Fall by 1% amid Easing Fears of Russian Supply Disruptions
Taarek Refaat Oil prices dropped by nearly 1% on Tuesday, following concerns over weak global demand overshadowing investor worries about U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to India over its purchases of Russian oil. At the close of trading, Brent crude futures fell by 1.63%, settling at $67.64 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined by $1.13, or 1.7%, to $65.16 per barrel. Both benchmarks reached their lowest levels in five weeks. Latest Oil Prices: WTI Crude $65.25 +0.09 +0.14% Brent Crude $67.64 -1.12 -1.63% Murban Crude $69.80 -1.23 -1.73% Natural Gas $3.009 -0.001 -0.03% Louisiana Light $72.61 +1.27 +1.78% Bonny Light $78.62 -2.30 -2.84% Mars US $71.56 -1.02 -1.41% Gasoline $2.087 -0.004 -0.20% President Trump renewed his threat to impose higher tariffs on Indian goods within the next 24 hours in response to India's Russian oil purchases. He argued that lower energy prices could pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine. In response, New Delhi condemned Trump's threat as "unjustified" and pledged to safeguard its economic interests, further escalating the trade dispute between the two nations. UBS analyst Giovanni Stonovo described the oil market as "stable," suggesting that this status quo may persist until the U.S. president announces further details on his stance regarding Russia later this week and how buyers might respond. India, the largest buyer of Russian seaborne oil, imported approximately 1.75 million barrels per day from January to June, marking a 1% increase compared to the same period last year, according to trade sources provided to Reuters. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Egypt's Foreign Reserves Exceed $49 Billion for First Time in History
Taarek Refaat The Central Bank of Egypt announced that the country's foreign currency reserves rose to approximately $49.036 billion in July 2025, surpassing the $49 billion mark for the first time in Egypt's history. This increase comes after the reserves stood at around $48.7 billion at the end of June 2025, reflecting a rise of $336 million. Egypt's foreign reserves are composed of a basket of major global currencies, including the US dollar, the euro, the British pound, the Japanese yen, and the Chinese yuan. The composition and distribution of these reserves are adjusted based on exchange rates and the stability of these currencies in international markets, according to a plan set by the Central Bank of Egypt's officials. The primary function of Egypt's foreign currency reserves is to ensure the availability of essential goods, pay off external debt installments and interest, and manage economic crises, particularly during exceptional circumstances. This is especially important as the country continues to face challenges related to hard currency revenue from key sectors. Earlier, the Central Bank reported a slight increase in reserves for June 2025, which stood at $48.7 billion, compared to $48.526 billion at the end of May 2025, showing an increase of $174 million. Additionally, Egypt's net foreign assets in the banking sector, including both the central bank and commercial banks, grew by $231 million to reach $14.941 billion by the end of June 2025, compared to $14.71 billion at the end of May 2025. The Central Bank also revealed that net foreign assets in commercial banks increased by 1.1%, reaching their highest level in four years, totaling $4.88 billion by the end of June. The surplus in foreign assets held by the Central Bank itself also rose by 2.1%, reaching $10.1 billion (approximately EGP 499.6 billion) by the end of June 2025, compared to $9.88 billion (around EGP 492.3 billion) in May 2025. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
