Yesterday Abu Dhabi had reportedly agreed to its new production limits provided the cuts expired in April, but Saudi Arabia said it must accept both parts of the proposal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expect a pop:<\/strong> Failure to agree on new production quotas is likely to tighten supply further and put further upward pressure on prices. The cost of oil has continued to climb in recent weeks as a surge in demand outweighs current supply, which is still being curtailed by production cuts introduced last year following the market crash. This will lead the oil prices to \u201cpop,\u201d one energy analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-07-05\/opec-talks-abandoned-without-a-deal-sending-oil-prices-higher?srnd=premium-middle-east&sref=mmeFTDW1\">said<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s also not tenable because a price spike actually undermines the interests of the UAE, Russia and Saudi Arabia,\u201d he added<\/p>\n<p><strong>Or another price war:<\/strong> Rather than Riyadh vs. Moscow, this time around the fears are that a breakdown in relations between the Saudis and the UAE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-07-05\/opec-in-crisis-as-specter-of-destructive-infighting-looms-again?sref=mmeFTDW1\">could trigger a new price war<\/a>, with producers jettisoning the OPEC+ alliance, cranking up production and causing prices to crash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The KSA-UAE clash is going beyond oil policy:<\/strong> Tensions between the long-time allies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-07-05\/saudi-arabia-excludes-imports-from-gulf-s-free-zones-and-israel?srnd=premium-middle-east&sref=mmeFTDW1\">are also being fuelled<\/a> by a new import ban announced by the Saudis and a decision to prevent its citizens travelling to the UAE due to covid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Until we meet again (whenever that is):<\/strong> Production restrictions will remain in place until OPEC+ members convene again. Unusually, the group hasn\u2019t set a date for its next meeting, with OPEC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opec.org\/opec_web\/en\/press_room\/6483.htm\">saying<\/a> that it will be decided \u201cin due course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does all this mean for Egypt?<\/strong> Events over the coming days will be being watched closely by the government\u2019s fuel pricing committee, which <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/c96030e0-a4d2-4c6b-8619-8fa4ad9192da\">this week is discussing<\/a> whether to raise or leave on hold domestic fuel prices during the coming quarter.

Globally, equities have had a strong run during the first half of 2021, but major EMs including China and the rest of Asia have underperformed, making room for an upside, he says. The EM index, however, is \u201cskewed\u201d toward China, which hasn\u2019t been performing as well as others so far into the year, giving investors reason to be picky.<\/p><p><strong>Speaking of which, what actually makes EM investment worth it? <\/strong>Strong economic growth that could surpass growth rates in the developed world over the coming years, as well as portfolio diversification, provide the positive case for investing in EM, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/emerging-markets-investment-11625418130?mod=lead_feature_below_a_pos1\">the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Yes, but:<\/strong> High volatility, weak currencies, and high debt levels are all factors that make some investors think twice.<\/p><p><strong>Also from EM-verse: Ghana wants to sell green and social bonds worth up to USD 2 bn<\/strong> <strong>in <\/strong><strong>November<\/strong>, the country\u2019s finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-07-05\/ghana-mulls-africa-s-first-social-bonds-with-2-billion-sale?srnd=premium-middle-east&amp;sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a>.
