Good afternoon, wonderful people. <\/strong>We\u2019ve made it through another workday together \u2014 one more to go and we slide into the weekend.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY TODAY- The first-half IPO window may now be closed, but companies in <\/strong>the chute to go public are already looking to fall. <\/strong>Cosmeceutical giant Macro Group confirmed that it is working with EFG Hermes on its initial public offering on the EGX, expected as early as this fall. Meanwhile, shares of state-owned Egyptian Iron and Steel\u2019s mining spinoff will be listed on EGX as of tomorrow. We have chapter and verse on both transactions in this afternoon\u2019s Speed Round, below.<\/p>\n

<\/a> ALSO big today: Egyptian and Russian investigative teams have met to discuss and <\/strong>\u201cexchange information\u201d about <\/strong>the 2015 Metrojet crash in Sinai<\/a><\/strong>. The incident saw Moscow impose a ban on direct flights between Russia and the Red Sea that has so far lasted six years. The five-hour sitdown ended with no word on when travel between the two countries will resume, according to a statement<\/a> issued yesterday by the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi agreed last month<\/a> with Russian leader Vladimir Putin that flights would resume, but Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko has since suggested<\/a> that a June date for the resumption of flights is uncertain.<\/p>\n

<\/a> HAPPENING NOW- US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Cairo today<\/strong> ahead of planned talks with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, the Associated Press<\/a><\/sup> reports. Blinken\u2019s regional visit<\/a> has already taken him to Jerusalem and Ramallah, which remain largely calm after Egypt brokered a ceasefire that brought an end to 11 days of Israeli attacks on Palestine. Blinken is also due today in Jordan. You can find Blinken\u2019s latest update here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
