AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

US-Iran Economic War: Trump announced a “most crushing” sanctions push—an “economic D-Day”—aimed at Iran and any country that provides “lifelines” via banks, businesses, airports, or government entities, targeting oil smuggling, cash transfers, exchange houses, and ship registries; Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi called it “economic terrorism” and a diversion from US debt and interest costs, while China urged diplomacy and said sanctions won’t solve the issue. Energy Markets: Oil prices extended gains for a fifth straight session as traders priced in tighter access to Iranian crude and Strait of Hormuz risks, with Brent above $92/bbl. Global Spillovers: The campaign raises the stakes for partners and financial channels tied to Tehran, with analysts warning the pressure could deepen broader market stress. Malaysia Trade Oversight: Malaysia’s PM Anwar said MITI will review new investment applicants after flagging firms using warehouses/transit without clear job or economic benefits. Markets Watch (Nigeria): Nigeria’s NGX slid for a seventh straight session; the All-Share Index fell 0.36% and market cap dropped to about N155.4tn. Business & Growth (India): RBI is likely to keep rates on hold in FY27 as growth stays resilient and inflation eases.
