Good morning, friends. <\/strong>Hump day is living up to its reputation as news dump day, with a busy stream of news on both the macro front and capital markets, as well as a big milestone from our friends at Mashreq. We don\u2019t expect things to quiet down anytime soon, as we brace ourselves for what\u2019s set to be the US Federal Reserve\u2019s first interest rate cut in months later today. <\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY here at home<\/strong> is a toss-up between Dubai inflation figures in August showing signs of cooling prices, particularly in the housing sector, and MGX\u2019s involvement in Silver Lake\u2019s buyout of Intel\u2019s programmable chip unit, Altera. <\/p>\n

WEATHER<\/strong>- <\/strong>Expect a partly cloudy day, with a humid night in store, as temperatures in Dubai<\/strong> reach 39\u00b0C, with a low of 30\u00b0C. In Abu Dhab<\/strong>i<\/strong>, the mercury will also top out at 39\u00b0C, dipping to 31\u00b0C at night. <\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/a> #1- ADGM tightens data rules:<\/strong> ADGM has set out new data protection rules (pdf)<\/a> to safeguard sensitive public information, particularly targeting the ins. and education sectors. The rules allow ins. providers to process certain personal data without individual consent only when it serves a public interest, like when it affects minors or children. <\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #2- US eases drone export rules, paving the way for easier drone exports to UA<\/strong>E: <\/strong>Washington will now classify advanced military drones as fighter jets rather than missile systems, sidestepping restrictions under the 1987 Missile Technology Control Regime, Reuters<\/a> reports. Approved by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the change opens the door for sales to countries including the UAE, and in Eastern Europe, as US manufacturers struggle with competition from firms in countries with less restrictions like China, Israel, and Turkey. It also unlocks a Saudi request for more than 100 MQ-9 drones, potentially tied to a USD 142 bn arms package announced in May.<\/p>\n

REFRESHER-<\/strong> In June<\/a>, the US Senate also voted down efforts to block over USD 3 bn in arms sales to the UAE and Qatar, including a US<\/a>D 1.3 bn<\/a><\/a> package for helicopters and other equipment to Abu Dhabi and a USD 1.9 bn drone sale to Doha. Washington last year<\/a> designated the UAE a \u201cmajor defense partner\u201d \u2014 a status previously granted only to India.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> #3- <\/strong>Alec <\/strong>Holding eyes SAR 4.3 tn Saudi<\/strong> pipeline as IPO approaches: <\/strong>Dubai-based engineering and contracting group Alec Holding<\/a> sees around SAR 4.3 tn in prospects in Saudi Arabia, CEO Barry Lewis told Asharq Business (watch, runtime: 9:16<\/a>). The firm is targeting projects linked to the Kingdom\u2019s Vision 2030, such as Qiddiya and Diriyah Gate. The company is already involved in Qiddiya's Aquarabia water park and Formula 1 racetrack, along with a science and innovation discovery center at Riyadh\u2019s non-profit Misk City. <\/p>\n

He also pointed to AED 2.8 tn worth of prospects in the UAE<\/strong>, pointing to potential involvement in upcoming entertainment projects in Abu Dhabi like Disneyland Abu Dhabi<\/a> and Sphere Abu Dhabi<\/a>, as well as in Ras Al Khaimah with the Wynn Al Marjan Island<\/a> gaming resort, for which Alec Holding secured the main construction contract last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>Alec is planning to take a 20% stake public on the DFM<\/a> through a secondary offering of 1 bn shares, with the subscription period opening next week.<\/p>\n

\n

#4- <\/strong>UAE\u2019s Cr<\/strong>escent Petroleum has offered to supply Iraq with some 100 mn scfd of<\/strong><\/p>\n

natural gas from the Khor Mor field to support its electricity generation needs<\/strong>, CEO Abdullah Al-Qadi told Shafaq<\/a> News last week. The company plans to scale that up to 400 mn scfd over the next three years to support 2 GW of output. The offer is currently under review by Iraq\u2019s Electricity Ministry. <\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> Iraq\u2019s Khor Mor gas field expansion project \u2014 where Crescent Petroleum and Dragon oil have developed significant gas production \u2014 could be completed<\/a> as early as 1Q 2026. The USD 1 bn project is slated to boost capacity at the gas field by 50%. The gas field produced some 525 mn scfd of natural gas in early March, up some 75% since 2017. Khor Mor supplies fuel for some 75% of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq\u2019s electricity generation, serving some 6 mn in the region.<\/p>\n

\n

#5<\/strong>- <\/strong>UAE<\/strong>-Mercosur trade pact could close in the next few months: <\/strong>Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said he hopes the trade agreement between the UAE and Mercosur bloc will be finalized by the end of this year, Reuters<\/a> reports. Talks launched in 2024, aiming to cut tariffs and facilitate investment and services.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>The first round of negotiations took place in July 2024<\/a>, while Brazil\u2019s President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva said in December 2024<\/a> that negotiations were \u201cprogressing rapidly\u201d and should conclude by 2025. <\/p>\n

DATA POINT- <\/p>\n

Abu <\/strong>Dhabi reports 98% surge in youth-led businesses, with AED 14.9 bn in cap<\/strong>ital: <\/strong>The Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry has reported a 97.8% uptick in youth memberships in 2024, according to Abu Dhabi Chamber<\/a> data. As of August, over 21k individuals between the ages of 18 to 35 were signed up with the chamber, with over AED 14.9 bn in combined registered capital.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD- <\/p>\n

A high-stakes courtroom twist is dominating international headlines this morning<\/strong>, after a New York judge dismissed two terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione \u2014 the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson \u2014 while allowing other counts including second-degree murder to proceed. The high-profile case, which has attracted national and international attention since Thompson was shot outside a midtown Manhattan hotel in December, now heads toward trial with Mangione still facing a potential life sentence in state court and the death penalty on federal charges. (Financial Times<\/a> | BBC<\/a> | The Guardian<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n

AND IN MARKET NEWS-<\/strong> Wall Street edged lower yesterday as investors hit pause ahead of an expected 25 bps rate cut from the Fed later today \u2014 the S&P 500 fell 0.1%, the Dow Jones 0.3%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 0.1%. The muted session came even after data showed that August retail sales rose higher than expected. Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s remarks later today will be closely watched for any shift in tone as the central bank tries to balance sticky inflation with a deteriorating labor market. (Reuters<\/a> | Wall Street Journal<\/a> | CNBC<\/a>)<\/p>\n

ALSO WORTH NOTING THIS MORNING- <\/strong>EU competitiveness czar Mario Draghi delivered a sharp warning on Tuesday that Europe is \u201cin a harder place\u201d than a year ago, with its growth model \u201cfading\u201d and \u201cvulnerabilities mounting\u201d because of inaction by Brussels and national governments, writes the Financial Times<\/a>. Draghi \u2014 who issued 383 recommendations last year to boost the bloc\u2019s economic standing \u2014 said only a fraction had been enacted and blasted EU inertia as \u201ccomplacency.\u201d<\/p>\n

MARKET WATCH- <\/p>\n

Mari<\/strong>ne fuel sales at the Fujairah bunker hub jumped to a four-month high o<\/strong>f 650k cbm in August, a 1.5% increase from July<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing Fujairah Oil Industry Zone data published by S&P Global Commodity Insights. The bulk of this growth came from low-sulfur marine fuels, which climbed 6.1% m-o-m to some 462k cbm. These fuels \u2014 namely low-sulfur fuel oils and marine gasoils \u2014 have experienced strengthening premiums, climbing to their highest levels so far this year in early September.<\/p>\n

High-sulfur marine fuel sales, meanwhile, dropped by 8.2% m-o-m<\/strong> to some 189k cbm, following an 18-month peak in July. The drop was attributed to a narrowing price spread between low- and high-sulfur fuels, which had widened sharply the previous month. UAE supply may also tighten slightly due to the suspension of Sudanese oil imports, a key input for producing low-sulfur marine fuel in topping refineries, the newswire added citing trading sources.<\/p>\n
