If the trend held steady, it would mark the first time the hit rate has exceeded 50 per cent since 2009. The brightening performance, which would represent a sharp uptick from the grim 19 per cent hit rate notched up last year, <strong>has come as managers have [tipped] the technology, consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors.<\/strong> The trio represent the top-performing S&amp;P 500 sectors this year, with price returns of 20.1 per cent, 11.5 per cent, and 9.7 per cent, respectively.\u201d The best-performing class? Growth funds, up 12.5% compared with a 2.4% gain for value funds.<\/p><p>Color us geeks, but <strong>the history of board games is strangely fascinating.<\/strong> Our resident nine-year-old\u2019s newfound love of Monopoly prompted us to read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/a-checkered-history-1497042601\">Wall Street Journal\u2019s review<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Its-All-Game-Monopoly-Settlers-ebook\/dp\/B01N3LDI4M\">It\u2019s All a Game: The History of Board Games from Monopoly to Settlers of Catan<\/a>.

Food price inflation eased slightly, dropping to 41.1% in May. Annual core inflation eased to 30.57% in May from 32.06% in April, going up by 1.99% on a monthly basis from 1.10% in April, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbe.org.eg\/Highlights%20Documents\/CPI_press%20release_%d9%90May_2017.pdf\">according to the CBE<\/a>. A research note from Pharos Holding\u2019s Ramy Oraby notes that the easing is \u201c<strong>partly due to the favorable base effect<\/strong> from the corresponding period last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The drop in the headline annual rate was the first reversal since the EGP float last <\/strong><strong>November<\/strong>, Tarek El Tablawy and Ahmed Feteha <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2017-06-08\/egypt-annual-inflation-eases-for-first-time-since-pound-float\">write in Bloomberg<\/a>. \u201cThe drop in the annual figure in May is probably temporary, and is mainly driven by the stability of the exchange rate used to calculate customs \u2026 The stagnation of the monthly rate, however, shows that inflationary pressures are still there,\u201d Arqaam Capital Senior Economist Reham El Desoki says. El Desoki expects says<strong> inflation could inch up again in June with the seasonal impact of Ramadan<\/strong> and could tick up again in July \u201cas a result of expected increases in electricity prices and the effect of the increase in the rate of the new value-added tax.\u201d The VAT is due to rise to 14% in 1 July from 13% today.<\/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\/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=\"646275\" 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=\"646275\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/06\/11\/how-do-you-teach-ai-to-watch-a-film\/\">\r\n                            How do you teach AI to watch a film?

(Or, how do you \"teach\" AI to watch a film?). <\/strong>We are now another step closer to Skynet. Far from teaching computers to want to destroy us all, this time AI has been taught to watch, recognize, and reconstruct a movie file. That\u2019s right: AI is being taught to become a filmmaker. London-based machine learning researcher Terence Broad taught an algorithm how to recognize patterns that distinguish the movie Blade Runner from other films, encode it and then decompress it \u2014 a process which creates the size, format, and data for media files and allows us to play it back. Board\u2019s computer replicated footage from Blade Runner so well that Warner Bros\/ issued a DMCA takedown notice to the video streaming website Vimeo because it couldn\u2019t tell the difference, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2016\/6\/1\/11787262\/blade-runner-neural-network-encoding\">Vox<\/a>.

Leading coverage of Egypt is the notion that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s repeated statements on Qatar\u2019s financing of militants have been vindicated. Pressure from Egypt and the GCC may push Qatar to go as far and expelling Ikhwan members hiding out in Doha, Hamza Hendawi writes for <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/a660fc935b02496bb84d2f535eec67ab\/Egypt's-el-Sissi-sees-vindication-in-moves-against-Qatar\">The Associated Press<\/a>. Positioning Egypt along a unified front with the other GCC states could help revive the Gulf\u2019s interest in keeping Egypt\u2019s economy moving, according to Hendawi. He does point to the possible risk of cutting off Egypt from USD mns in remittances from expats in Qatar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most other articles rehash old talk of the US\u2019 reactions to the blockade<\/strong>, including a piece from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/why-the-u-s-shouldnt-blindly-follow-saudi-arabia-1497044216\">the Wall Street Journal<\/a> on how its backing of the alliance against Qatar could inflame regional sectarian conflicts.

The document, which was endorsed by Egypt, UAE, and Bahrain names various Qatari charity groups as well as regional political groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Benghazi Defense Brigade in Libya. Among the individuals listed is Egyptian-born, Ikhwan-affiliated cleric Yusuf Al Qaradawi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meanwhile, Qatar\u2019s envoy to Egypt left the country on Thursday as the 48-hour deadline <\/strong><strong>given to him expired<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/64\/270510\/Egypt\/Politics-\/Qatar-envoy-leaves-Cairo-as-Egypts-two-day-notice-.aspx\">Ahram Online<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confusion from the Trump administration over Qatar:<\/strong> The US government sent mixed signals over the weekend on its policy towards Qatar. President Donald Trump supported the diplomatic and economic blockade of Qatar, declaring that the country had been a long time backer of terrorist organizations at a White House news conference on Friday. An hour earlier, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/politics\/articles\/2017-06-09\/tillerson-calls-for-saudi-led-coalition-to-end-qatar-blockade\">sent a much tempered message<\/a>, calling on Egypt and the GCC to ease their blockade on Qatar. He said that the blockade carried humanitarian implications, would hurt US efforts to battle ISIS and US companies doing business there. He acknowledged Qatar\u2019s role in funding terrorism, and urged it to do more to stop financing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/politics\/articles\/2017-06-09\/trump-says-he-backed-saudi-led-diplomatic-isolation-of-qatar\">Bloomberg suggests<\/a> this is a deliberate Good Cop, Bad Cop tactic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump\u2019s message of support was relayed to President Abdel Fattah El Sisi <\/strong>in a phone call on Friday.El Sisi also met on Thursday with<strong> Bahrain\u2019s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa<\/strong>, during which the two leaders discussed the blockade.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, <strong>Chad and <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ara.reuters.com\/article\/topNews\/idARAKBN1910HE\"><strong>Niger<\/strong><\/a><strong> joined the party late, and recalled their ambassadors from <\/strong><strong>Qatar<\/strong> for consultations on Thursday and Saturday, a day after a similar move by Senegal, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-gulf-qatar-chad-idUSKBN18Z1KT\">Reuters reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qatar remains defiant:<\/strong> Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed Al Thani said that his country will not respond to such \u201cbaseless\u201d accusations. \"Our position on countering terrorism is stronger than many of the signatories of the joint statement - a fact that has been conveniently ignored by the authors,\" the Qataris, according to Reuters. This apparently does not apply to Hamas, which the Qatari government continued to voice support, calling it a \u201clegitimate resistance movement,\u201d according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/qatari-fm-insists-hamas-a-legitimate-resistance-movement\/\">Times of Israel<\/a>.
