AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Strait of Hormuz Standoff: Iran’s newly appointed security chief Mohsen Rezai says the waterway stays shut unless the US ends the war, lifts sanctions, releases frozen Iranian assets and meets wider regional demands—pushing oil higher and keeping reopening hopes fragile. US Enforcement Escalates: The US fired Hellfire missiles at a Panama-flagged cargo ship (M/V Vela Nova) in the Gulf of Oman after it ignored warnings tied to the blockade of Iranian ports, underscoring the risk to shipping and energy flows. Shipping Attacks Spread: New reports say Houthi-linked attacks hit vessels near Bab al-Mandeb and in the Gulf of Oman as war talks stall, with casualties reported on an Egyptian-owned ship. BRICS Bank Move: Iran’s central bank governor says Iran is set to join the BRICS development bank, signaling deeper non-West financial cooperation. Oman Energy Deal: EDF-led consortium reached financial close for Oman’s 120MW Jaalan Bani Bu Ali wind project, with operations due in 2027—another Gulf push for renewables despite regional turmoil. Markets Watch Inflation: Wall Street slid as US-Iran detente signals faded; Brent hovered near $90 while traders awaited key inflation data. Business Finance: IHG reported solid first-half performance despite Middle East pressure, while UBA and Mikano launched an auto financing scheme in Nigeria.
