Month-on-month, inflation rose to 1.7% in February compared to 0.6% in January. Annual core inflation, which excludes volatile items such as food and fuel, shot up to 9.2% compared to 8.6% in January. Vegetables were the biggest contributors to rising prices, advancing some 39.4%, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capmas.gov.eg\/Pages\/ShowHmeNewsPDF.aspx?page_id=\/Admin\/News\/PressRelease\/20193108938_%D9%81%D8%A8%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%B1%202019.pdf&Type=News\">according to CAPMAS figures<\/a>. Other major contributors were meat and chicken, household utilities and transportation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Does this mean the central bank will pull back from rate cuts?<\/b> The Central Bank of Egypt, which sees inflation falling to 9% (\u00b13%) by the fourth quarter of this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/02\/17\/central-bank-of-egypt-cuts-interest-rates-by-100-bps-in-first-mpc-meeting-in-2019\/\">cut its key interest rates by 100 bps<\/a> last month, citing lower inflation as one of the reasons behind its decision. The surge in February inflation has some analysts suggesting further cuts could be delayed. \u201cWe think the reading might dim the chances for another rate cut when the Egyptian central bank meets later this month,\u201d Mohamed Abu Basha, head of macro analysis at EFG Hermes said in an emailed note. Allen Sandeep, head of research at Naeem Brokerage, said in a note that the higher than expected inflation \u201cshould put the brakes on monetary easing for now\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Others are still optimistic:<\/b> Radwa El Swaify, head of research at Pharos Holding, <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/egyptNews\/idAFL8N20X03B\">told Reuters<\/a> she expects inflation to reach 13.5-14.5% between now and September as vegetable prices remain the primary challenge. That said, she sees inflation coming under control and another 100 bps rate cut this month as likely \u2014 subsidy cuts expected in June mean this month\u2019s meeting is the last opportunity to cut rates until September. (Pharos\u2019 full research note is this morning\u2019s Pharos View, below.) Shuaa Capital\u2019s Esraa Ahmed said the surge in inflation makes another cut more difficult, but noted inflation is being fueled primarily by volatile items such as vegetables and this \u201cshould not hinder a possible rate cut if the overall scene is conducive to monetary easing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>The central bank will next look at interest rates on 28 March. <\/b><\/p>\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\/inflation\/\">inflation<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/interest-rates\/\">interest rates<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/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=\"601820\" 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=\"601820\">\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\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/11\/the-future-of-the-high-end-auto-industry-us-sleek-and-almost-impossibly-expensive\/\">\r\n                            The future of the high-end auto industry us sleek and almost impossibly expensive                        <\/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\/2019\/03\/11\/the-future-of-the-high-end-auto-industry-us-sleek-and-almost-impossibly-expensive\/\" 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();

But this may be because, as this piece by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-africa-47379458\">Naima Mohamud for the BBC<\/a> notes, \u201cthe history of the medieval period is still largely seen only as Western history.\u201d Musa\u2019s kingdom of Mali stretched for 2,000 miles and the king\u2019s empire reportedly accounted for almost half the gold of the Old World. So when Musa embarked on an epic pilgrimage to Mecca, he traveled through the desert accompanied by 60,000 men in gold brocade and Persian silk and a hundred camels weighed down with the precious metal.<\/p>\n<p><b>One of his most notable stops was in Cairo, <\/b>where he handed out so much gold that its value throughout the region decreased dramatically for 10 years, reportedly leading to some USD 1.5 bn of cumulative economic losses.<\/p>\n<p><b>Have a look at the list of the wealthiest men of all time<\/b> <b>for a reminder of how skewed the Eurocentric view of history is:<\/b> Not only does Musa top the list with his \u201cincomprehensible\u201d wealth, but right up there beside him are Zhao Xu, 11th century ruler of China, and Akbar I, 16th century ruler of India. The wealth of both is termed \u201cincalculable.\u201d<\/p>\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\/gold\/\">gold<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/history\/\">History<\/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=\"601834\" 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=\"601834\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">12<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">The Market Yesterday<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/11\/the-market-yesterday-425\/\">\r\n                            The Market Yesterday                        <\/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\/2019\/03\/11\/the-market-yesterday-425\/\" 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();

M-o-m inflation grew to 1.8%, higher than a projected 0.4%. Despite the spike in inflation, Pharos still sees another 1% cut in rates on 28 March, as this would be the only window for the CBE to make the cut before September (to guard against subsidy cuts). Pharos sees the cuts as necessary for implementing the government\u2019s debt control strategy, so it is unlikely for the CBE to pass up the March window. The investment bank also sees Egypt\u2019s debt as attractive to foreign investors even with a 1% cut in interest rates. <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2019\/3\/1659.pdf\">You can catch the full report here (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #299a0b; font-weight: bold;\">***<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>WTI:<\/b> USD 56.07 (-1.04%)<\/p>\n<p><b>Brent:<\/b> USD 65.74 (-0.84%)<\/p>\n<p><b>Natural Gas<\/b> (Nymex, futures prices) USD 2.87 MMBtu, (-0.03%, Apr 2019 contract)<\/p>\n<p><b>Gold:<\/b> USD 1,299.30 \/ troy ounce (+1.03%)<\/p>\n<p><b>TASI:<\/b> 8,465.75 (-0.16%) (YTD: +8.16%)<\/p>\n<p><b>ADX:<\/b> 4,872.08 (-0.86%) (YTD: -0.87%)<\/p>\n<p><b>DFM:<\/b> 2,578.14 (-0.63%) (YTD: +1.91%)<\/p>\n<p><b>KSE Premier Market:<\/b> 5,576.91 (-0.37%)<\/p>\n<p><b>QE:<\/b> 9,769.04 (-0.12%) (YTD: -5.15%)<\/p>\n<p><b>MSM:<\/b> 4,090.20 (-0.55%) (YTD: -5.40%)<\/p>\n<p><b>BB: <\/b>1,405.84 (-0.22%) (YTD: +5.13%)<\/p>\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\/the-market-yesterday\/\">The Market Yesterday<\/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=\"601835\" 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=\"calendar\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/11\/601835\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-601835\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-601835 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-calendar wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\t\t<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-primary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-primary-background-color has-background is-style-wide\">\n\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0 has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n\t\t\t<strong> CALENDAR<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p>10-12 March: A delegation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.egypttoday.com\/Article\/3\/66333\/Industry-minister-emphasized-Egyptian-Japanese-business-communities\">50 Japanese business<\/a> companies is expected to visit Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>11-13 March (Monday-Wednesday): <a href=\"https:\/\/icmse-egypt2019.org\/\">International Conference on Material Science & Engineering Recent Advances and Challenges<\/a>, Sofitel El Gezirah, Cairo, Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>14-16 March (Thursday-Saturday): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metalsteelegy.com\/\">Metal & Steel<\/a>, Egypt International Exhibition Center, Nasr City, Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>14-16 March (Thursday-Saturday): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windoorex.com\/\">WINDOOREX<\/a>, Egypt International Exhibition Center, Nasr City, Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>14-16 March (Thursday-Saturday): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.egypt-projects.com\/\">Egypt Projects<\/a>, Egypt International Exhibition Center, Nasr City, Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>14-16 March (Thursday-Saturday): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradefairdates.com\/Fabex-Middle-East-M6740\/Cairo.html\">FabEx Middle East<\/a>, Egypt International Exhibition Center, Nasr City, Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>March (date TBD): <a href=\"https:\/\/egypt.tradersfair.com\/\">Traders Fair<\/a>, Nile Ritz Carlton, Garden City, Cairo, Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>15 March (Friday): <a href=\"https:\/\/events.time.ly\/96o25b3?event=24587003\">Arab World Social Innovation Forum<\/a>, American University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>16-18 March (Saturday-Monday): Automation Technology Expo, Cairo International Convention Center, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>17 March (Sunday): A court <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2019\/02\/04\/1174960\">will look into<\/a> a lawsuit by a subsidiary of Arabian Investments, Development and Financial Investment Holding Co.
