Gold Loses EGP 190 in Local Markets Over the Week
Waleed Farouk Gold prices saw a significant decline in local markets over the past week, dropping by nearly 4%, as demand weakened following a trade agreement between Washington and Beijing. international gold prices also dropped by 2.8% during the same period. Saeed Embabi, Executive Director of iSagha—an online platform for trading gold and jewelry—stated that local gold prices dropped by EGP 190 per gram last week. Gold of 21-karat purity opened trading at EGP 4,800 and closed at EGP 4,610. On the global front, gold lost $95 per ounce, falling from $3,369 to $3,274. Embabi added that: 24-karat gold recorded EGP 5,269 per gram, 18-karat gold stood at EGP 3,951, 14-karat gold reached EGP 3,074, And the gold pound (8 grams of 21-karat) stood at EGP 36,880. Gold prices also dropped EGP 15 on Saturday alone, opening at EGP 4,625 per gram (21-karat) and closing at EGP 4,610, coinciding with the global market's weekend closure. Despite traditionally supportive conditions for gold—such as a weakening U.S. dollar and growing expectations of interest rate cuts—Embabi noted that these factors were overshadowed by a wave of investor appetite for high-yield assets, which pressured gold prices downward. Market Optimism Dampens Gold's Appeal Markets were buoyed by positive developments on both the trade and geopolitical fronts, which contributed to diminishing traditional safe-haven demand for gold. A formal trade agreement was signed between the U.S. and China, with Washington signaling that more deals could follow before July 9, suggesting a potential breakthrough in global economic relations. Further boosting sentiment, China announced its readiness to expedite exports of rare earth metals to the U.S.—a rare gesture of cooperation amid previous tensions. On the geopolitical front, Iran showed renewed diplomatic flexibility toward the U.S., and media reports indicated that the war between Israel and Gaza could end within two weeks. These developments helped ease geopolitical risk premiums that had previously supported gold prices. Embabi emphasized that the geopolitical calm allowed investors to book profits after months of positioning based on potential escalations involving China or the Middle East. Gold Misses Out Despite Dollar Weakness Despite a 1.32% drop in the U.S. dollar index and stable Treasury yields, gold failed to capitalize. Embabi attributed this to the strong performance in equity markets, which signaled a shift in investor preference toward growth assets, leaving gold under pressure. While gold was already weighed down by easing geopolitical tensions, it was the hot U.S. inflation data that dealt the final blow. Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation rose to 2.7% in May, above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, while personal income fell by 0.4%. This surge in inflation crushed any lingering hopes for aggressive Fed rate cuts. As Treasury yields climbed and the dollar strengthened, gold prices came under further selling pressure. Gold's Role Re-Evaluated Amid New Market Realities Gold is currently navigating a sensitive phase, with many of its traditional drivers—like geopolitical crises and monetary easing—fading. As equity markets climb and global tensions stabilize, investors appear to be reassessing asset allocations, moving away from safe-havens like gold, at least in the near term. Focus Shifts to Upcoming U.S. Labor Market Data Looking ahead, market attention is turning to a data-heavy week, with a focus on the U.S. labor market—considered a key gauge for the Federal Reserve's future monetary policy path. On Tuesday, markets await the ISM Manufacturing PMI and the JOLTS job openings report, both providing insight into industrial activity and labor demand. Wednesday will feature the ADP private payrolls report, often viewed as a precursor to the official employment figures. The climax comes on Thursday, with the release of the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), weekly jobless claims, and the ISM Services PMI, all expected to provide critical signals for markets navigating a complex economic landscape. 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 China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer 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 Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Brazil Strikes Landmark Deal with Starlink to Combat Amazon Crime
Taarek Refaat Brazil's federal prosecutor's office has reached a groundbreaking agreement with Starlink, the satellite internet company owned by Elon Musk, to curb the use of its services in illegal activities across the Amazon rainforest, where high-speed connectivity has become a tool for organized crime. The deal, announced Friday, aims to limit the use of Starlink's low-latency, high-bandwidth internet by criminal groups involved in illegal mining, deforestation, and drug trafficking. Authorities have long expressed concerns that the technology, while improving connectivity in remote regions, has also enabled criminals to coordinate logistics, process payments, and evade law enforcement. 'This is the first agreement of its kind after years of pressure from Brazilian authorities,' said a spokesperson from the Federal Public Ministry, as reported by the Associated Press. New Identity and Location Rules Beginning January 2026, Starlink will require all new users in the Brazilian Amazon to submit official identification and proof of residence before activating the service. In addition, the company will provide Brazilian authorities with user registration data and the geolocation of terminals operating in regions under investigation. Should authorities confirm that a terminal is being used for unlawful purposes, Starlink has pledged to block access for those users. The agreement is valid for two years, with an option for renewal. Tech in the Jungle: Double-Edged Sword Since its deployment in the region, Starlink's lightweight terminals have rapidly spread through vast and previously disconnected parts of the Amazon. While the service has proven beneficial to remote communities, environmental groups and law enforcement officials have warned that illegal gold miners and drug networks are exploiting the technology to strengthen their operations deep inside the rainforest. The move comes amid mounting global scrutiny over environmental degradation in the Amazon and the role of emerging technologies in enabling ecological and legal violations. Starlink, a division of SpaceX, has expanded rapidly across Latin America, with Brazil becoming one of its largest user bases. The deal marks a significant step toward tech-sector accountability and may serve as a model for other countries facing similar challenges. 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 China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer 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 Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

World Bank Warns: 39 Countries Facing Severe Economic Decline due to Conflict
Taarek Refaat The World Bank has issued a stark warning over the economic deterioration in 39 conflict-affected and fragile states, revealing that more than 420 million people are now living below the poverty line in these regions. The findings, published in the Bank's first comprehensive study of fragile economies since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, outline a grim trajectory for some of the world's most vulnerable populations. According to Ayhan Kose, Deputy Chief Economist at the World Bank, 'Recession—not growth—has become the norm in economies plagued by conflict and instability.' The report covers countries stretching from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific to Mozambique in sub-Saharan Africa, showing that these nations have experienced a 1.8% annual decline in per capita economic output since 2020. In contrast, other developing countries recorded a 2.9% annual increase in GDP over the same period, according to data cited from the Associated Press. Poverty and Human Development Gaps Widen The study underscores staggering development disparities. Although the populations of fragile and conflict-affected countries make up less than 15% of the global total, nearly one in two people living under $3 per day reside in these nations. Infrastructure decay, weak governance, and limited educational attainment are among the core challenges. On average, residents receive only six years of education, three years less than their counterparts in other low- and middle-income countries. Life expectancy is five years shorter, and infant mortality is twice as high. Active Conflicts and Their Economic Fallout Of the 39 countries analyzed, 21 are experiencing active conflicts, including Ukraine, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Gaza. The World Bank estimates that in nations suffering from high-intensity conflict—defined as over 150 deaths per million people annually—GDP drops by an average of 20% within five years of conflict onset. The humanitarian cost is equally severe. The report states that 18% of people in these fragile countries—around 200 million individuals—face acute food insecurity, compared to just 1% in other developing nations. A Glimmer of Progress Despite the overall grim outlook, the report highlights a few 'relative success stories.' Countries like Nepal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, and Sri Lanka have managed to escape the spiral of fragility and post-conflict economic stagnation. 'These are examples that show progress is possible, even under extremely difficult circumstances,' said Kose. As global conflicts grow in frequency and intensity, the World Bank warns that without targeted investment and coordinated international support, many fragile states risk falling into prolonged economic paralysis—leaving hundreds of millions trapped in poverty and instability. 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 China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer 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 Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
