id=\"tldr-story-04\"><\/a> <strong>Return of the meme-stock investors?<\/strong> Retail investors in the US have been showing new signs of life after largely keeping their heads down during this year\u2019s stock selloff, driving sizable gains in some meme-stocks, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/meme-stock-investors-are-back-sort-of-anyway-11660380307?mod=hp_lead_pos6\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>reports. Individual investors had purchased a net USD 1.35 bn a day of US stocks and ETFs on average as of 11 August \u2014 the highest monthly average since the recent bull market peaked in January \u2014 according to macro and investment research firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vandaresearch.com\/\">Vanda Research<\/a>. The rally pushed up shares in Bed Bath and Beyond and AMC Entertainment Holdings at least 68% this month, while usual suspects Tesla, Apple, Amazon and Meta remain the stocks most sought after by retail investors this month, data shows. And activity is up on WallStreetBets forum \u2014 a subreddit for stock and option trading discussions, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/a-week-inside-the-wallstreetbets-forum-that-launched-the-gamestop-frenzy-11613212202\">launched GameStop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lower prices could be the draw:<\/strong> Many retail investors have ventured into the market because of recent lower prices, the WSJ notes. Recent stock splits from companies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-06-06\/amazon-stock-split-delivers-more-than-bargained-for-tech-watch\">including Amazon<\/a> have made it cheaper for individual investors to dip their toes in, it adds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But don\u2019t expect a repeat of the 2020-21 meme-stock feeding frenzy:<\/strong> Retail investor activity is still a long way off the highs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/retail-investors-power-the-trading-wave-with-record-cash-inflows-11625477401?mod=article_inline\">seen in 2021<\/a>, the WSJ tells us. Current inflation and fears of recession are fueling market uncertainty for both professional and newbie investors, it adds. And overall, markets are still down this year \u2014 meaning there\u2019s little scope for investors to pour money into them as they did in 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>How heatwaves are unearthing lost archaeological history: <\/strong>Extreme hot weather and drought is bringing to light some of the Earth\u2019s lost history, including ancient cities, past-shipwrecks and others, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2022-08-12\/heat-waves-in-europe-us-bring-eerie-world-history-to-the-surface\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported. A dried-up River Po, Italy\u2019s longest river, has revealed World War II wreckage, including a German tank and cargo ships. Aceredo \u2014 a ghost village near Spain\u2019s borders \u2014 has been revealed, thanks to a drought hitting the village that was flooded in the 1990s to clear the way for Alto Lindoso reservoir. And in a surprise, extreme hot weather in the UK has unearthed a hidden 17th century garden, dubbed the Great Parterre, that was once home to flower beds and paths. The Middle East has also seen a historical site uncovered, with the ruins of an ancient city in Iraq emerging from a drought-hit area of Mosul\u2019s reservoir this year. Kurdish and German archaeologists inspected Kemune, an ancient city along the Tigris River that was held under the Mitanni Empire from 1550 to 1350 B.C.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content

opposites-attract romance, <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/eg-en\/title\/81043665\">Purple Hearts<\/a><\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>The film centers around a struggling musician who marries a troubled Marine so they can both get military benefits. Starting out as virtual strangers, Cassie (Sofia Carson) and Luke (Nicholas Galitzine) get to know one another through writing, and eventually, the lines of their marriage of convenience become blurred. Despite its predictable plot, the movie takes us on intriguing character journeys and an empathic depiction of human relationships. While Purple Hearts is classified as a typically-light romantic drama, director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum takes on serious issues including feminism, racism, the lives of immigrants, and consent with tact and compassion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fun fact: Purple Hearts is currently the most watched film on Netflix<\/strong>, drawing nearly 102.6 mn viewing hours worldwide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/movies\/a40855622\/sofia-carson-purple-hearts-netflix-record\/\">last week<\/a> \u2014 this marks the highest number of viewing hours for a movie on the streaming platform in 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-06\"><\/a> \u26bd <strong>It\u2019s a packed day for major European leagues.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In the Premier League: <\/strong>Chelsea clashes with Tottenham in London\u2019s Derby at 5:30pm, while Nottingham Forest v West Ham are currently on the pitch as we dispatch after a kick-off at 3pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In La Liga: <\/strong>Real Madrid begins its league opener against Almeria at 10pm.

Enter Clubliko, a four-level kid heaven with a huge variety of indoor and outdoor play areas, and a restaurant that offers some of the tastiest dishes we\u2019ve had in Cairo. Their surprisingly diverse menu includes sophisticated dishes for foodies of all ages, and simple bites that are certain to satisfy young picky eaters. We recommend their lemon-pepper salmon, the beetroot avocado salad, and the buttery German schnitzel. Word of caution: Your kids may not want to leave when it\u2019s time to go, but on the flip side, not one person will complain if they decide to play hide-and-seek under the table.<\/p>\n<p>? <strong>OUT AND ABOUT-<\/strong><br \/> (all times CLT)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Citadel International Festival for Music and Singing kicks off today at the <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1937170653148642\">Cairo<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1937170653148642\">Citadel<\/a><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Singer Medhat Saleh will take the stage during the festival\u2019s opening night, along with the Small Fingers Orchestra and Amr Selim\u2019s musical band.

Shortly after their move, many of the local glam gurus start showing up dead, and Marley seizes the chance to boost her reputation in town. Meanwhile, Ronnie savors her new affluent lifestyle like a delicious smoothie, until she starts to realize that all is not well in the wellness industry and wonders if she should trust her new friends or her own instincts. Author Amina Akhtar makes fun of the pretentiousness of influencer culture through a page-turning plot that kept us hooked from the very beginning to the unexpected ending.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/eat-this-tonight\/\">Eat This Tonight<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-recommends\/\">Enterprise Recommends<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/on-the-tube-tonight\/\">On The Tube Tonight<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/sports\/\">sports<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"552127\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"552127\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">GO WITH THE FLOW<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2022\/08\/14\/what-the-markets-are-doing-on-14-august-2022\/\">\r\n                            What the markets are doing on 14 August, 2022                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2022\/08\/14\/what-the-markets-are-doing-on-14-august-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The data indicates that our non-oil exports also rose quarter-on-quarter: Exports hit USD 9.14 bn in 1Q 2022, meaning that the second quarter of the year saw us exporting USD 10.26 bn-worth of non-oil goods \u2014 a 12.3% q-o-q increase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leading the pack: Chemical and fertilizer exports<\/strong>, which constituted 22% of the export revenues during the first six months of the year. We exported some USD 4.34 bn of chemical and fertilizer products in 1H 2022, rising 35% y-o-y.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And that number should increase as more investments pour in:<\/strong> Emirati fertilizer company <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d4a71383-920c-4343-b424-81c95ba095f0\">CFC Group is building a new USD 400 mn complex<\/a> in Qena to produce fertilizers, animal feed, and phosphoric acid, under the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/69b76229-000b-4d65-90e9-9267d1f9903d\">new joint industrial partnership<\/a> between Egypt, the UAE, Jordan, and Bahrain. All but a fifth of the complex\u2019s output will be exported, with priority given to partnership nations, which should substantially increase exports when production begins in 1Q 2025. A push towards \u201cgreener\u201d fertilizers \u2014 by relying on green hydrogen to produce green ammonia \u2014 could also give our fertilizer exports a push by catering to European countries with ambitious emissions reduction targets to meet, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/4bc9d7d8-f464-497b-8e60-270e76b44180\">we noted previously<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also seeing increasing exports: <\/strong>Building materials constituted 19% of the total export revenues for the period, rising 20% y-o-y, standing at USD 3.69 bn. The next largest contributor to our export revenues was the food industry, which accounted for USD 2.15 bn (11%) of export revenues, up 4% y-o-y.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Engineering industries and agricultural crop exports each accounted for 10% of Egypt\u2019s total non-oil exports. <\/strong>Engineering industries saw a 27% y-o-y increase, with 1H 2022 revenues at USD 1.89 bn, while agricultural crop exports stood at USD 1.9 bn (up 10% y-o-y). Ready-made garments exports also increased 42% y-o-y, standing at USD 1.29 bn, accounting for 7% of Egypt\u2019s total non-oil exports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re looking to boost agricultural export revenues: <\/strong>The government aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/industries\/egypt-moves-forward-import-substitution-strategy-sectors-focus-shift-local-manufacturing\/\">introduce facilities<\/a> to increase the export of agricultural products such as dates, dried fruits, and dried onions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other goods we\u2019re exporting more of:<\/strong> Printing and packaging reached USD 615 mn (up 37% y-o-y, 3% contribution); medical exports at USD 471 mn (up 36% y-o-y, 2% contribution); textiles at USD 555 mn (up 30% y-o-y, 3% contribution); upholstery at USD 325 mn (up 6% y-o-y, 2% contribution); and leather products at USD 52 mn (up 24% y-o-y, constituting 0.3% of exports).<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the flipside, exports of handicrafts and furniture were on the decline:<\/strong> The two sectors each made up 1% of total exports in 1H 2022, with furniture exports standing at USD 117 mn, down 20% y-o-y. Handicraft exports fell 11% y-o-y, recording USD 124 mn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The overall increase in our export revenues comes as Egypt has been moving full speed ahead with its push to cut imports while simultaneously boosting exports. <\/strong>Earlier this year the government earmarked <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/industries\/egypt-moves-forward-import-substitution-strategy-sectors-focus-shift-local-manufacturing\/\">nine priority investment industries<\/a> to start the push towards localizing manufacturing, in line with the state\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/758d07cb-6364-4515-bfac-3d307abb9653\">ambitious plan<\/a> to raise exports to USD 100 bn a year by 2025: Wood and furniture, engineering, food and agriculture, chemicals, textiles, pharma and medical, printing and packaging, building materials, and metallurgical industries. 141 product categories fall under these nine investment areas, amounting to USD 17 bn and accounting for 23% of Egypt\u2019s 2019 import bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And the increased support for exports is a critical policy issue:<\/strong> Finance Minister Mohamed Maait stressed the importance of focusing more on attracting foreign direct investment and encouraging <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/55d004cc-aecf-4c66-80e3-5e677f18f682\">export growth<\/a>, as opposed to portfolio flows, to support the economy. The Finance Ministry is <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/74d20ce8-091a-4c93-970a-eb4d24b80feb\">increasing allocations for its export subsidy program<\/a> in the FY2022-23 budget to EGP 6 bn, up from EGP 4.2 bn in the FY2021-22 budget, advisor to the Vice Minister of Finance Nevine Mansour told Enterprise.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\" \/>\n<p><strong>Your top
