AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

US-Iran Escalation: The US reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and launched fresh strikes as Trump warned of further attacks on power plants and bridges unless Tehran returns to talks, while Iran says it has shut the Strait of Hormuz until “acts of aggression” stop. Maritime Pressure: Iran’s Guards and Bahrain’s UN envoy both framed the standoff as wider “blackmail,” with the Strait of Hormuz again at the center of energy-flow risk. Sanctions & Finance: Washington expanded sanctions on Iran’s oil sector, targeting the Shamkhani network, and froze about $131m in Iran-linked USDT tied to the central bank. Defense Politics: Senate Democrats blocked a $1tn defense bill over the Iran war, adding to uncertainty around US strategy. Market Impact: Oil prices jumped back toward the mid-$80s as investors priced in supply disruption; inflation concerns are resurfacing. Israel Economy: Moody’s cut its 2026 growth forecast for Israel to 3.7% citing security risks, while keeping the credit rating stable. Turkey Business: Turkish exports to GCC countries topped $826.7m in June, and Turkish contractors booked $2.7bn in overseas projects in H1. Egypt Investment: SCZONE and Türkiye’s Ukinox signed a $14m stainless-steel sink factory deal in Ain Sokhna. Corporate Banking: JPMorgan is expanding EMEA corporate banking, hiring senior bankers to support $1.5tn in financing for national-security-linked industries.
