Nearly 93.7k housing transactions were recorded nationwide, a 7% increase y-o-y, with a combined value of SAR 77.5 bn.

Analysts cited by Ip say that the attempt \u2014 the first of its kind in the Fed\u2019s 111-year history \u2014 may be a turning point. If Trump succeeds, he would effectively draw the curtains on the central bank\u2019s independence from presidential control, a principle that has underpinned US monetary policy since 1951.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The markets \u201care not properly priced for what increasingly seems likely to be a rupture in<\/strong><strong> Fed independence<\/strong>,\u201d Evercore ISI analysts noted. So far, optimism around rate cuts has helped keep stock markets buoyant, driven by Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s recent comments stating that tariffs are unlikely to stoke sustained inflation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But if the Fed becomes more beholden to political pressure, investors will quickly have <\/strong><strong>to adapt to a very different economic future. <\/strong>Trump\u2019s broader strategy seems aimed at stacking the Fed board with loyalists, with the purpose of letting future rate decisions be informed not just by data, but by campaign cycles, potentially diluting the Fed\u2019s core focus on inflation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If Cook is successfully replaced off the back of fraud allegations \u2014 a topic Trump has a <\/strong><strong>lot of experience in \u2014 Trump appointees would hold four of seven governor seats<\/strong>, giving him leverage over monetary policy even without directly removing Fed Chair Jerome Powell. \u201cOnce we have a majority, housing is gonna swing and it\u2019s gonna be great,\u201d Trump said on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Trump\u2019s current and prospective Fed nominees are openly political \u2014 a major break from <\/strong><strong>past practice. <\/strong>His candidates now signal clear policy stances aligned with his administration. Take Stephen Miran, who, while serving as an investment strategist last year, warned against cutting rates with inflation around 3%. Now, however, as chair of Trump\u2019s Council of Economic Advisers and a contender to Powell, Miran has embraced Trump\u2019s view that rates are too high. Another potential appointee by Trump, former World Bank president David Malpass, has recently written that the Fed should cut rates to support the USD, even though, by his logic, the greenback\u2019s steady decline this year impedes such cuts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p

Speaking to us this week is Chief Technology Officer of Lucidya Zuhair Khayyat (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/khayyatz\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>). Below are edited excerpts from our conversation: <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I\u2019m Zuhair Khayyat<\/strong>, and I serve as the Chief Technology Officer of Lucidya. My journey began with a strong academic background in computer science, focusing on Big Data, cloud computing, and large-scale data systems. My research has been published in international conferences such as EuroSys, VLDB, and SIGMOD, where I explored how to make data-intensive systems faster and more scalable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Since joining Lucidya in 2017<\/strong>, I\u2019ve helped grow the company from an early-stage concept to a multi-mn USD SaaS platform, now employing a team of over 80 professionals. Along the way, I\u2019ve been deeply involved in everything \u2014 from product strategy to engineering leadership. My longer-term goal is to guide Lucidya to become the first AI unicorn in MENA to go public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We are currently focusing heavily on agentic AI technologies.<\/strong> The goal is to move Lucidya beyond just delivering insights and transform it into a system that can be integrated directly into our clients\u2019 workflows, allowing businesses to automate repetitive tasks, reduce manual effort, and achieve efficiency at scale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I stay on top of market changes by keeping one eye on global technology trends and <\/strong><strong>another on the regional market. <\/strong>This involves engaging with our customers, working closely with our sales, marketing, and customer success teams, and debating best practices with fellow leaders. I also encourage my teams to bring forward new ideas so that we remain proactive, rather than reactive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I like to start my mornings with a quick three-minute podcast or TED Talk \u2014 unrelated to <\/strong><strong>technology \u2014 to clear my mind before diving to work.<\/strong> Then I clean up my inbox, reprioritize my to-do list, check Slack messages, and review our systems\u2019 health. My day is then split between operations and long-term thinking \u2014 about 70% on operational work (meetings, syncs, problem-solving, and one-on-one check-ins with leads and managers) and the remaining 30% on research and strategy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My approach to work-life balance has shifted over time. <\/strong>I used to be fully immersed in growth and treated everything like a race. In my 30s, I began structuring my work into sprints followed by short breaks to recharge. Now, in my 40s, I see work-life balance as a daily discipline, with clear boundaries between my work and family life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Part of that discipline is knowing when to slow down.<\/strong> Sometimes that\u2019s as simple as taking a quick shower in the middle of the day, while other times it\u2019s going on a spontaneous trip, catching a movie, or unwinding with a video game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I also find rest in hobbies that keep my mind engaged<\/strong>, like online chess or listening to podcasts on economics. These moments of pause not only reset my energy but often spark new ideas that I can bring back to my work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Curiosity is the constant that has shaped my journey. <\/strong>I am always asking why and what if, which drives me to challenge assumptions on how we design products, build teams, and shape strategy. I also view failures as lessons for improvement and rarely accept that something is impossible. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The best advice I have received is to never stop learning. <\/strong>The moment you stop learning is the moment your mind begins to die.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!--
