AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

US-Iran Escalation: The US launched air strikes on Iran for a 13th straight night, while Iran vowed strikes will continue until “total surrender,” hitting US bases and assets across the Gulf, as diplomacy stays uncertain. Shipping & Energy Pressure: The Strait of Hormuz disruption and renewed Red Sea risks are pushing oil back toward $100 and lifting regional fuel costs, with the US also firing on a vessel trying to breach its blockade of Iranian ports. Markets & Safe-Havens: Gold rose on escalating conflict and crude volatility, while crypto traders reported sharp liquidations after Iran’s strikes rattled sentiment. Regional Spillover: Saudi Arabia struck Yemen’s Hodeida after Houthi attacks on Saudi-linked shipping, raising fears of a wider Middle East conflict. Business Disruption: UAE schools are preparing for a new academic year after war-related disruption, and in Bahrain, Turkey bookings fell sharply as travel costs soar. Diplomacy via Pakistan/China: Pakistan is exploring ways to restart stalled US-Iran talks with China’s push, but obstacles remain high. Gulf Policy & Trade: The US-Saudi nuclear cooperation deal is under renewed scrutiny amid Trump’s shifting conditions tied to enrichment and regional normalization.
