Annual increase in stock market stamp tax has come into effect:<\/strong> The stamp tax on capital market transactions rose to 0.15% yesterday from 0.125%, Al Mal reports<\/a>. The levy, which came into effect last year<\/a>, will rise to 0.175% next year. The Financial Regulatory Authority is debating whether to cut regulatory fees on stock market trades to 0.04% from a present 0.05%, to offset the burden imposed by the annual rise in the stamp tax, sources from the authority told Enterprise last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During its first year in effect, the stamp tax earned the government EGP 700 mn in revenues from main market transactions excluding OTC trades<\/strong>, Misr For Central Clearing, Depository & Registry Managing Director Tarek Abdel Bary told Enterprise yesterday.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s World Wide Developer Conference gets underway today <\/strong>in California with a keynote speech at 10am Pacific time (that\u2019s 7:00pm CLT tonight). You can stream the keynote here<\/a>. Meanwhile, 9to5Mac<\/a> has a rundown of what you can expect, namely iterative improvements to iOS 12 as Apple pushes new tentpole features to next year to allow its engineers time to focus on quality. Also: Don\u2019t hold your breath for a lot of new hardware. The conference is front-page news in the global business press this morning. As the Wall Street Journal<\/a> puts it, Apple\u2019s goal is \u201cfewer [new] features, but fewer bugs.\u201d Also on analysts\u2019 wish list: Improvements to Siri, plans to tackle \u201cdevice addiction\u201d and a plan to win over HomePod skeptics, the Financial Times<\/a> adds.<\/p>\n

Also for tech types this morning: Microsoft could announce as soon as today that it will acquire GitHub<\/strong>, the popular developer tools platform that allows techies to manage code, among other things. Business Insider<\/a> broke news of the talks over the weekend, and Bloomberg<\/a> confirmed the news yesterday.<\/p>\n

Many women with early stage breast cancer could be spared chemotherapy<\/strong> \u201cfollowing the publication of a groundbreaking study showing that they derive no benefit from the grueling treatment,\u201d the Financial Times<\/a> reports. The 10k patient study is front-page news around the world, having suggested that 70% of women \u201cshould not be given chemotherapy because it does not improve their survival prospects. <\/strong>They can therefore be treated with hormone therapy alone, which is far milder.\u201d They found that tests of gene activity in tumor samples could identify women who could safely skip chemotherapy in favor of hormone therapy. The caveat: Some women 50 or younger \u201cmight benefit from chemo even if gene-test results suggested otherwise,\u201d the New York Times<\/a> notes.<\/p>\n

Yield is not a dirty word: <\/strong>Manulife Financial, the Canadian giant that has \u201cspent years buying stakes in pipelines, power grids and transportation systems \u2026 now wants to manage more of these types of assets for other investors,\u201d shifting roughly USD 1 bn in existing infrastructure investments into a new fund that is open to outside clients. \u2026 One large European investor committed some USD 1 bn. \u2026 Big institutional investors are looking for new ways to generate yield<\/strong> after years of ultralow interest rates and expensive asset prices. More are now turning to investments in pipelines, utilities and roads to generate stable cash flows. Some, like Manulife, are choosing to manage those assets for others for additional revenue,\u201d the Wall Street Journal<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Hedgies and Wall Street banks are adding social media to their research menus<\/strong>, the Journal notes<\/a> this morning, looking at a wave of acquisitions of \u201calternative data\u201d firms.<\/p>\n

The Financial Times\u2019 Jonathan Guthrie writes a withering take on why \u201cbright young things flock to a <\/strong>withering old profession<\/strong><\/a>\u201d: Investment banking. <\/strong>Don\u2019t expect revelations, but do expect a chuckle or two.<\/p>\n

Regret becoming a banker? <\/strong>Go indulge your inner Walter Mitty with the Financial Times\u2019 Dream Jobs series<\/a>, which runs occasional profiles of \u201cpeople who\u2019ve given up the 9-5 to seek new careers \u2014 and new lives \u2014 on distant shores.\u201d Among them: A management consultant who became an Antarctic guide, an insurance sales rep who is now a motorcycle guide in Vietnam, and an ex-finance guy who became a freediving instructor in Indonesia. Mommy, how do you spell \u2018midlife crisis\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Better still: Go read James Thurber\u2019s original short story, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty<\/strong><\/a>, in the 18 March 1939 issue of the New Yorker.<\/p>\n

Why Qatar is still afloat:<\/strong> A year into the economic embargo, Bloomberg<\/a> posits that the reason Qatari banks have done so well is because the government and statelet-owned banks have plowed some USD 26 bn in deposits into them since May of last year. Qatar noted the passing of the one-year anniversary of the boycott by declaring it is \u201cstronger than ever,\u201d CNBC says<\/a>, on the same day that Bloomberg<\/a> reports that the statelet\u2019s propaganda arm, Al Jazeera, recently slashed dozens of jobs.<\/p>\n

Your Ramadan rundown for today:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bank hours <\/strong>run 09:30 am to 01:30 pm for customers and from 09:00 am to 02:00 pm for employees, CBE announced.<\/p>\n

The EGX is running shorter trading hours. <\/strong>The trading session kicks off at 10:00 am, but closes at 1:30 pm. Tap or click here for the full schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, when do we eat? <\/strong>For those of us observing, Maghrib is at 6:53 pm CLT today. You\u2019ll have until 3:09 am tomorrow to finish your sohour.<\/p>\n

We apparently have post-iftar entertainment on the brain <\/strong>this morning, having caught up on all current episodes of Westworld, season two, and finished The Americans. Speaking of which:<\/p>\n

The Americans, one of the best shows on television, went out with an (emotional) bang last week. <\/strong>The New York Times has a (spoiler-heavy) interview<\/a> with show stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys. A must-read if you\u2019re a fan of the show.<\/p>\n

What to watch if you\u2019re not a fan of mosalsalat? <\/strong>Start with the Times\u2019 list of \u201cWhat to Watch Now That \u2018The Americans\u2019 Is Over<\/a>,\u201d then check out its list of \u201cTV binges of summer, from Jack Ryan to \u2018Better Call Saul<\/a>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Magnum P.I. is getting a remake <\/strong>on CBS, and the first full trailer is out. Mixed feelings on our end, folks, but we\u2019ll check the series out when it debuts this fall. You can watch the trailer here<\/a> (runtime: 4:16).<\/p>\n

In the mood for a book, not a TV show? <\/strong>Read the New York Times Book Review\u2019s list of <\/strong>73 summer books<\/strong><\/a>, broken down into categories including thrillers, cooking, movies and television, romance, music, sports and more.<\/p>\n

Stephen King\u2019s <\/strong>The Outsider<\/strong><\/a> isn\u2019t on the NYT list<\/strong>, but should be, whether you\u2019re a fan of his work or not. It\u2019s one of two books King has coming out this year \u2014 Elevation<\/a>, set in Castle Rock, Maine, is due in stores in October.<\/p>\n

Food on the brain? <\/strong>We\u2019ve just added Chefs, [Redacted] and Rock & Roll<\/a> to our to-be-read pile. The tome looks back at the \u201cremarkable evolution of the American restaurant chef in the 1970s and 1980s,\u201d telling the tale of how cooking in a restaurant was transformed from a first job (or last job pre-prison) into a celebrity undertaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
