Most Gulf stocks firm as markets brace for pivotal week
July 27 (Reuters) - Most Gulf equities ended higher on Sunday as investors anticipated a critical week ahead, focusing on key corporate earnings and the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting, while President Donald Trump's August 1 trade deadline loomed. Gains were tempered by oil prices slipping to a three-week low, pressuring sentiment in a region where oil remains a key economic driver. Saudi Arabia's benchmark index (.TASI), opens new tab added 0.1%, helped by a 4% jump in healthcare provider Dr Sulaiman Al Habib ( opens new tab and a 2.2% increase in SABIC Agri-Nutrients Co ( opens new tab after the duo reported a rise in second-quarter profit. Elsewhere, Yanbu National Petrochemical Co ( opens new tab gained 2.9% after the firm reported a more than two-fold sequential increase in second-quarter profit. Qatar's stock index (.QSI), opens new tab rose 0.3%, extending its winning streak into the new week after notching gains in all sessions last week, as it climbed to a fresh peak last seen over two and a half years ago. Shares of index heavyweight Qatar International Islamic Bank ( opens new tab jumped nearly 3%, as investors positioned ahead of Monday's dividend eligibility cutoff to secure an upcoming payout. Outside the Gulf, Egypt's blue-chip index (.EGX30), opens new tab - which traded after a session's break - advanced 1.3%, hitting a fresh record high, with Commercial International Bank ( opens new tab advancing 3.3%. Investors across the region are also eyeing the U.S. Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting, where rates are widely expected to remain unchanged at 4.25%–4.50%, despite renewed political pressure from Trump for cuts. A rise in U.S. inflation to 2.7% in June has clouded expectations for a potential rate reduction in September, with market odds narrowing to nearly 50-50. Fed policy remains closely watched in the Gulf, where most currencies are pegged to the U.S. dollar, making it a key anchor for regional monetary stability.

Chelsea on verge of selling unwanted star in shock £40m transfer deal to Saudi club Al Nassr who are offering huge wages
CHELSEA are nearing completion on a deal that would see Premier League flop Joao Felix join Saudi club Al Nassr. The Portuguese seemed to be on the verge of returning to his boyhood club Benfica before the middle-eastern outfit stepped into the ring. 3 3 Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano says a deal is at its final stages as the clubs near agreement on a fee reportedly in the region of £40million. Felix, 25, has already given his approval of the project and his personal terms. Al Nassr's offer is reported to be a five-year contract with an annual salary of £22million, or £420,000 a week. This salary, by comparison, would make him the second-highest earner in the Premier League behind Erling Haaland's £500,000 weekly wage. His wage would even equate to £20,000 per-week more than Mohamed Salah's new Liverpool contract. Should the move go through, he would be reunited with his Portuguese national team colleague Cristiano Ronaldo. Joao Felix was the subject of the fourth most expensive transfer ever when he made the move from Benfica to Atletico Madrid as a teenager in 2019. After a falling out with the management in Madrid, Felix had loan spells with Chelsea and Barcelona before the Blues made a £42million gamble on him last summer. 3 Between his two stints at the club, Felix has made 40 total appearances for the Blues, scoring 11 goals. Chelsea were at a loss with Joao Felix this window after a disastrous loan spell in Milan last season. The club were set to take a huge loss on his return to Benfica, who were reportedly looking to pay half the fee that Chelsea paid for the forward at around £22million. Al Nassr's improved offer puts them in good stead to steal the star from under the Portuguese giant's nose, as Chelsea look to recoup almost the full fee they paid for him a year ago.

BAE's AI wingman fires up Typhoon fighter jets
RAF 'Top Gun' pilots could soon have a high-tech wingman in the cockpit – with AI helping to select targets and assess threats. Defence contractor BAE Systems is overhauling its Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets. The AI is being trialled in a flight simulator at BAE's site in Warton, Lancashire, to help pilots assess 'threat information'. It is hoped the technology will be installed by the 2030s. BAE believes the Typhoon, introduced in 2003 as a partnership between Britain, Germany and Italy, can last into the 2060s. Its new technology includes a much larger control display for pilots who currently have to monitor three screens. Modifications include counter-electronic warfare measures and a helmet providing a 360-degree virtual display of the skies, projected onto the visor. Paul Smith, head of Typhoon strategy at BAE and an ex-Typhoon pilot, said: 'There's still going to be a human in control, but the AI is just helping the pilot as decision maker.' BAE has been working with Swedish firm Avioniq to develop the AI tool, called Rattlesnaq. It can map areas where there is a risk of enemy missile fire beyond a pilot's visual range, recommend a safe path and suggest targets. Typhoons are in service in the Middle East and eastern Europe, and provide rapid-response cover around the UK. Smith said: 'When threats are constantly changing, you need live, on-the-edge situational awareness to enable pilots to operate effectively. Mikael Grev, co-founder of Avioniq and a Swedish air force pilot for 17 years, said the AI 'means a single aircraft can deliver greater force-multiplying effect, defeating a wider range of threats more efficiently'. He adds: 'Among western militaries it is unique and really innovative. I thought it would be a good idea to create a decision support system that can keep track of everything.' BAE, which reports its half-year results on Wednesday, received a boost to its Typhoon business last week when the UK signed a multi-billion pound deal to sell the jets to Turkey.
