Today’s global markets update covers the biggest developments in geopolitics, energy, finance, and technology. President Trump heads to Turkey for the NATO summit and a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while US stock futures surrender much of their earlier gains as technology shares remain volatile. Asian tech stocks also lose momentum after an early rebound, and Goldman Sachs revises its yen forecast to 165 from 155.
In energy markets, oil prices fluctuate as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continues, OPEC+ raises production quotas, oil and gas cargoes increasingly use the Oman-side shipping route. We also cover Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest remarks on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the IDF’s readiness for possible operations in Lebanon, mass funerals in Iran following the death of a senior leader, and the absence of Mojtaba Khamenei from public view.

We also examine growing attention on Middle East credit markets, reports that Abu Dhabi’s wealth fund may take TAQA private, ADNOC’s review of Wall Street advisory roles, the UAE’s successful efforts to block cyberattacks targeting its financial sector, and Gulf airlines exploring new aircraft orders from Boeing and Airbus.
