AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Middle East Energy: Oil prices edged down Friday but stayed on track for a second straight weekly rise as the US-Iran standoff keeps supply tight, with Brent around $93.44/bbl and WTI near $86.76/bbl; analysts point to disrupted flows through the Strait of Hormuz and renewed pressure on producers across Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE and Kuwait. Fuel Policy: Korea kept fuel price ceilings unchanged for another four weeks, citing higher Brent levels tied to prolonged Middle East tensions. Renewables & Investment: Egypt’s solar push gets a boost as Scatec brings its Obelisk project’s second phase online, and officials say the company is preparing up to $5 billion more in Egypt over the next two years. Business & Travel: Malaysia Airports reported July passenger traffic growth, with international movements up 9.3% m-o-m, supported by travel demand across Europe and the Middle East. Healthcare Markets (Global): A wave of market-research releases highlights fast growth in medical device segments, from oxygen-related equipment to orthopedic and cancer diagnostics.
