Oil slides, stocks rise as Trump says ceasefire holds
Oil prices sank and stock markets rose yesterday as US President Donald Trump said a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was taking hold after he berated both countries for violating the truce. In volatile trading, crude futures slumped more than five percent after Trump announced a ceasefire. 'This morning's ceasefire further reduced the perceived threat to Middle Eastern oil supply routes,' said David Morrison, analyst at Trade Nation. The main international and US contracts reduced their losses later as Israel and Iran accused each other of breaking the ceasefire. But prices fell again around five percent after Trump declared the ceasefire was in effect after berating the two countries in an expletive-laced outburst. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said later his country will respect a ceasefire if Israel also upholds its terms, while Israel said it refrained from further strikes after a phone call between Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Relief for Tehran Prices were also brought down by Trump saying that China could continue to buy oil from Iran, in what appeared to be relief for Tehran from sanctions Washington has previously imposed. Prices had already fallen by more than seven percent on Monday after Iran's response to US strikes on its nuclear facilities was limited to missile launches on a US military base in Qatar. There was also relief that Iran has refrained from closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for about one-fifth of the world's oil supply. Wall Street extended gains at the open on Tuesday. Paris and Frankfurt were sharply higher in afternoon deals but London's gains were limited as shares in oil majors Shell and BP fell on the lower crude prices. Asian markets closed higher. Dollar retreats The dollar retreated against other major currencies. Escalating tensions in the Middle East has removed some focus from Trump's tariffs war, which threatens to dampen global economic growth. 'With the immediate geopolitical tensions dialled down, investors are free to focus on President Trump's trade war and the first tariff deadline coming up in a couple of weeks,' Morrison said. 'As far as investors are concerned, they've just stared down the prospect of World War Three, so they're not going to be fussed by a few percentage points on US imports,' he added. Several countries face steep tariffs if they fail to reach deals with the United States by July 9, with duties of 50% looming large over the European Union. Fawad Razaqzada, analyst at City Index and said investors were 'now shifting their attention' to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's testimony in Congress later Tuesday. Powell was due to tell Congress that the central bank can afford to wait for the impact of Trump's global tariffs before deciding on further interest rate cuts, according to his prepared remarks. 'For the time being, we are well positioned to wait to learn more about the likely course of the economy before considering any adjustments to our policy stance,' he said.

Tamil Group Aids Worker
TDT | Manama A stranded Indian worker who lost his job and faced visa issues has safely returned to Tamil Nadu, thanks to swift support from Bahrain's Tamil community and coordination with the Indian Embassy. Mr Murugesan, a native of Ramanathapuram in Tamil Nadu, had been working in Bahrain for seven years before recently losing his job. With his visa renewal stalled and no income or accommodation, he found himself in a desperate situation. His case came to the attention of the Indian Embassy, which reached out to Annai Tamil Mandram (ATM), a community group known for supporting Tamil-speaking expatriates in Bahrain, ATM officials said. The group responded quickly, arranging food, shelter, and beginning the process of resolving his legal and immigration issues. Working closely with the Indian Embassy and with support from Bahraini authorities, the volunteers helped clear fines, resolve Mr Murugesan's visa complications, and arranged a flight ticket for his return home. He departed Bahrain on Saturday night after all formalities were completed. Leaders from the group expressed gratitude to the Bahrain government, the Indian diplomatic mission, and the individuals who helped fund and facilitate the process. Annai Tamil Mandram operates a round-the-clock helpline for the Tamil community in Bahrain.

Israel Strikes On Iran: Saudi Airports Issue Travel advisory Amid Regional Tensions
Major Saudi airports have issued a travel advisory for passengers following the closure of airspace across parts of the Middle East after Israel's strikes on Iran on Friday. The move comes amid rising regional tensions and widespread flight disruptions. According to Saudi Gazette, authorities at major Saudi airports—including King Khalid International Airport (Riyadh), King Abdulaziz (Jeddah), King Fahd (Dammam), and Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz (Madinah)—have urged passengers to check with their airlines before heading to the airport due to regional airspace closures. 'In light of the current developments in some countries in the region, passengers flying to or through affected areas are advised to confirm their flight status to avoid unexpected delays or cancellations,' the airports stated in social media posts. Following Israel's early morning air raids on Iranian military sites, several Middle Eastern nations closed their airspace, forcing airlines to reroute or cancel flights. This has led to potential delays, longer flight times, and travel disruptions for passengers across the region. The Kingdom's advisory aims to minimise inconvenience and ensure passenger safety amid shifting aviation conditions caused by the escalating conflict. Earlier, Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the Israeli airstrikes on Iranian territory, calling them a clear violation of Iran's sovereignty and international law. The Foreign Ministry expressed 'deep concern' over the attacks, urging the UN Security Council to take immediate action to halt the aggression and prevent further escalation.
