The breakthrough in talks \u2014 which took place over three days in Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt, and were brokered by the US and Qatar \u2014 should also see Israel withdraw its troops to an \u201cagreed upon area,\u201d and the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Hamas confirmed the agreement had taken place<\/strong>, and thanked the brokers, including Trump, in a massive shift in tone, while Israel is set to convene its government today to ratify the agreement. Trump could also be coming to the region to celebrate the breakthrough, sources said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The caveats are still there: <\/strong>Earlier ceasefires have broken down due to Israel\u2019s ongoing attacks in Gaza, so Hamas will be looking for clearer timelines and assurances of Israel\u2019s withdrawal. The question of Hamas\u2019 disarmament \u2014 which was one key point in Trump\u2019s plan \u2014 and the interim government of technocrats, chaired by Trump, are still contentious, and will need time to iron out. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The story is everywhere in the foreign press:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-10-08\/trump-says-israel-hamas-agreed-to-hostage-release-in-peace-plan?srnd=homepage-middle-east\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/2bb3275c-6844-4505-9fc2-2942c2203777\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/gaza-live-trump-says-israel-hamas-agree-first-phase-plan-end-war-2025-10-08\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/trump-travel-middle-east-gaza-peace-deal-81e18ccd\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2025\/10\/08\/world\/israel-hamas-gaza-ceasefire\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/egypt-gaza-talks-kushner-witkoff-israel-hamas-news-10-08-2025-ac80d3ed50ff2a9b4106ab5e13156651\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">AP<\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 subscribe-box-panel\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"title\">\n<h4 class=\"fw-lighter mb-10\">   Get <b style=\"font-weight: 700\">Enterprise<\/b> daily   <\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-10\">The roundup of news and trends that move your markets and shape corporate agendas delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/egypt\/en\/user\/NewsLetters\" type=\"button \" class=\"btn-green px-3 d-flex align-items-center\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe here<\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">***<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>You\u2019re reading EnterpriseAM UAE<\/strong>, your essential daily roundup of business, economics, and must-read news about the UAE, delivered straight to your inbox.

The permit costs AED 5k, renewable every six months for another AED 5k. Freezone firms that choose to expand into the mainland will be subject to 9% corporate tax on their mainland activities, and will have to keep separate financial records under Federal Tax Authority rules. The new permit also grants access to government tenders and contracts. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In its first phase, the permit will only apply to non-regulated sectors<\/strong> such as technology, professional services, consultancy, design, and trading.

The metal\u2019s appeal is also fueled by Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, a weakening USD, and strong, long-term purchasing from central banks worldwide. The US and Western allies\u2019 move in 2022 to freeze about USD 300 bn in Russian foreign assets was the \u201ctrigger point\u201d for the gold rally, Staunovo added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The metal\u2019s rise also reflects growing concerns over government debt, geopolitical risks, and <\/strong><strong>declining confidence in national currencies<\/strong>, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-10-07\/dalio-echoes-griffin-in-seeing-gold-as-safer-than-the-us-dollar?srnd=homepage-middle-east\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Gold-backed ETFs saw their largest inflows in over three years in September<\/strong>, signaling a shift away from overvalued equities toward diversification, Saxo strategist Charu Chanana told Bloomberg. \u201cGold breaking USD 4k isn\u2019t just about fear \u2014 it\u2019s about reallocation,\u201d she said, noting that easing real yields and stretched AI-heavy stocks are fueling renewed investor interest.
