AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoUS-Iran War Powers: The US House passed a bipartisan war powers resolution (215-208) ordering Trump to withdraw from the Iran conflict or seek explicit congressional approval, after four Republicans joined Democrats—raising pressure as ceasefire talks stall. Gulf Flashpoints: Iran’s drone/missile attack on Kuwait’s main airport killed 1 and injured 63, while the US carried out “self-defence” strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island after attempted attacks in the Gulf; the Strait of Hormuz remains a key risk for energy flows. Ceasefire Diplomacy: Israel and Lebanon agreed to implement a conditional ceasefire with “pilot zones” for the Lebanese army, boosting hopes for wider de-escalation that could feed into US-Iran negotiations. Oil & Markets: Brent swung with the headlines—rising back toward $98-$100 on renewed fighting, then easing when ceasefire hopes grew; gold tracked oil and the dollar. Egypt Finance: Egypt is finalising a $500m-equivalent yen-denominated Samurai bond sale, with the Iran war adding pressure via higher energy costs and inflation. Regional Energy Buildout: Gulf states are reportedly planning pipeline routes to bypass Hormuz, while Saudi resilience is linked to rerouting via East-West pipelines and Red Sea exports.
