IEA Lowers Global Oil Demand Forecast for 2026 Amid Renewed US-Iran Hostilities

The International Energy Agency expects global oil demand to fall more than previously anticipated in 2026, as maritime and supply chain disruptions caused by renewed hostilities between the US and Iran undermined recovery efforts.In its August oil market report published Wednesday, the IEA said global oil demand is now projected to decline by 1.6 million barrels per day on average in 2026, 510,000 barrels per day higher than its forecast a month ago, as fuel prices remained elevated due to the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz after the interim ceasefire deal collapsed mid-June. Demand is anticipated to see growth in the final quarter of 2026, then expand by 2.4 million barrels per day in 2027.Meanwhile, global supply is now forecast to drop by an average of 4.3 million barrels of oil per day in 2026, to 102 million barrels per day, before rebounding by 8.3 million barrels per day to 110.3 million barrels per day in the next year."Although the market is projected to return to surplus towards the end of this year, risks remain substantial and the urgency of reopening the Strait has increased, as previously available inventory buffers are rapidly depleting," the IEA noted.

Emirati Indices Close Lower as US-Iran Hormuz Deal Optimism Fades

Stock trading in the United Arab Emirates ended in the red again on Tuesday as optimism for a US-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz dimmed, sparking concerns of prolonged supply disruptions.At the close of trading, the FTSE ADX General Index shed 0.763%, while the DFM General Index lost 0.359%.US President Donald Trump said in a post on the Truth Social platform that he is demanding Iran pay compensation for people killed in war and protests and that the condition would be put "firmly" into all future negotiations. Trump's statement came after Iran asked the US for war damages to reopen the Hormuz waterway."By this point, you'd think markets would be largely immune to headlines about a US-Iran deal. The pattern keeps repeating - initial enthusiasm when negotiations appear promising, only for that optimism to dissipate just as quickly. Yet the oil market remains very headline-driven, which leaves prices whipsawing," ING said. "Current rhetoric suggests any potential deal is still some way off, meaning risks remain skewed to the upside for oil prices."Back home and on the corporate front, Adnoc Logistics & Services (ADX:ADNOCLS) gained 3.61% and was the Abu Dhabi bourse's most traded stock by value at closing. The energy maritime logistics company reported a higher first-half attributable profit of $1.12 billion, driven by strong growth in its shipping segment and improved operating leverage.Over in Dubai, National Central Cooling (DFM:TABREED), d/b/a Tabreed's, attributable profit for the first six months declined due to higher financing costs and additional interest expenses related to acquisition-related debt. Its shares closed the season 0.41% lower.On the economic calendar is the release of the July consumer price index report on Wednesday. The data, released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, provide investors with insights into the US Federal Reserve's next interest rate move.

UAE Shares in Red as Geopolitical Jitters, Volatile Oil Prices Remain in Focus

Stocks in the United Arab Emirates closed lower on the first trading day of the week as uncertainty surrounding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and fluctuating oil prices dampened sentiment.At the close of Monday trading, the FTSE ADX General Index lost 0.101%, while the DFM General Index was down 0.73%."Oil prices remain supported by uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. While US President Donald Trump said Washington is 'semi-negotiating' with Iran, suggesting a focus on economic pressure rather than military escalation, significant hurdles remain before any broader agreement is reached," ING analysts said. "Reports indicate that Iran and Oman are nearing an agreement on a shipping route through Hormuz, though a full reopening of the waterway is still likely to depend on progress in US-Iran talks."As of 3:45 pm UAE time, the Brent crude oil futures stood at nearly $84.803 per barrel, up 1.50% from the previous day.Zooming in at home, the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange recorded a 3.7% year-over-year growth in total trading volume in the first half, achieving a market capitalization of 2.8 billion Emirati dirhams and net positive inflows of 1.4 billion dirhams."In H1 2026, we continued to expand market access, strengthen infrastructure, and introduce innovations and solutions to enable local and international investors to participate in our market more efficiently and in a more timely manner. The results reflect an agile platform designed for resilience, sustainable growth, and long-term value creation," Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group Chief Executive Officer Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi commented.Over to corporates, Adnoc Gas (ADX:ADNOCGAS) gained 0.59% at closing and was the Abu Dhabi bourse's most traded stock by value and volume. The natural gas distribution company's profit for the first half fell 34% year-on-year due to export disruptions amid ongoing regional developments in the Middle East.Emirates Investment Bank (DFM:EIBANK) logged a lower profit of 11.1 million dirhams for the period.

Berenberg Cuts Technip Energies Price Target Amid Middle East Cost Headwinds; Buy Rating Kept

Berenberg lowered its price target for Technip Energies (TE.PA) to 40 euros from 45 euros, as analysts noted cost headwinds in the French energy infrastructure company's Middle Eastern projects."Activity on the company's Middle East projects was normalising through Q2, but costs increased given the additional logistics and safety measures required (an incremental EUR30m-40m per quarter). There are also certain disputed items that Technip Energies should be reimbursed for. Prudently, the company has provided for these additional costs, which led to PD Q2 EBITDA margins declining by 590bp yoy to 1.7% and an FY26 EBITDA margin guidance cut to more than 5.0% (from 6.5-7.5%)," according to a Monday note.Subsequently, the research firm reduced its sales, EBIT, and EPS projections for 2026 to 2028 to reflect the revised guidance, the ongoing disruption and the "likely dilutive" impact from future cost recoveries.On the flip side, Berenberg noted a potential upside to the margin guidance, modelling 5.5% for 2026. "We think there is upside to current margin guidance as client agreements are finalised, assuming the conflict does not intensify further. Despite this, the exceptionally high order intake underscores the strong medium-term outlook, reinforced by a record EUR25bn backlog."The stock's buy rating is unchanged.

UAE Stocks Close Mixed as Corporate Earnings Take Center Stage

Markets in the United Arab Emirates ended the trading week diverging as investors digested fresh corporate earnings while weighing uncertainty over US-Iran negotiations.The country's two benchmark indices closed mixed on Friday as Abu Dhabi's FTSE ADX General Index lost 0.256% and Dubai's DFM General Index gained 0.448%.As another busy earnings week came to a close, Dana Gas (ADX:DANA) reported a 47% year-over-year growth in its net profit for the first six months, driven by higher revenue, and closed the session 2.80% higher. Insurance House (ADX:IH) stocks, on the other hand, plunged 4.86% despite a surge in its net profit for the period.Emaar Properties (DFM:EMAAR) and its subsidiary Emaar Development (DFM:EMAARDEV) logged 22% and 48% year-over-year jumps in their first-half attributable profits, respectively. Emaar Properties closed 0.86% lower and was the Dubai bourse's most traded stock by value, while Emaar Development shed 1.62% at closing.On the geopolitical front, markets weighed the initial details of the Iran-Oman agreement to reopen the Hormuz waterway, which comprises a potential ban on US and Israeli vessels, transit fees of 5% to 7% and a penalty of up to 20% of cargo value on hostile countries, and other compensation for damage."Despite clear signs of progress in recent days, the tenor of the rhetoric and growing distrust between the US and Iran mean things could go from bad to worse once again," ING said. "For now, we hold onto our view that flows will start to normalise through the third quarter, which leaves us expecting Brent to average $80/bbl this quarter. However, there's plenty of risk and uncertainty to this view."On the economic calendar next week is the release of July's consumer price index print by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, providing investors with an overview of inflation and the US Federal Reserve's next monetary policy move.

Stock trading in the United Arab Emirates ended Thursday mixed as investors await clarity on the renewed negotiations between the US and Iran.At the close of trading, the FTSE ADX General Index inched up 0.092%, while the DFM General Index was down 1.496%.Iran vowed to attack Gulf energy infrastructure in case of new US attacks, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urging Saudi, Qatari, and Turkish counterparts to press US President Donald Trump to avoid such actions, media reports said.Meanwhile, Iran said that an agreement with Oman was reached for a temporary shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz and that full reopening of the waterway will be based on the US ending the naval blockade of its ports."Iran signalled progress toward this goal, announcing that it has reached an agreement with Oman on new shipping arrangements for the strait, with a joint statement on the deal now being prepared," ING said. "The real hinge point now becomes the trajectory of US-Iran discussions, because meaningful progress there is essential before disrupted energy flows can realistically resume."Back home and on the corporate front, Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADX:ADAVIATION) recorded a marginal year-over-year growth of 0.1% in its first-half attributable profit, with a 28.2% increase in revenue.

UAE Shares Close Higher as Non-oil Private Sector Growth Recovers

Emirati shares closed higher as investors weighed the latest figures from the country's non-oil private sector against geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.At the close of Wednesday trading, the FTSE ADX General Index was little changed at 0.096% in the green, while the DFM General Index was up 0.364%.The S&P Global UAE PMI, an indicator of the country's non-oil private sector activity, increased to 52.7 in July from a five-year low of 50.8 in June, marking the highest reading since March. New orders, exports, and workforce numbers rose despite supply chain disruptions and elevated cost pressures."Although the July PMI reading of 52.7 remains a step lower than the levels observed prior to the Middle East conflict, it provided some assurance that businesses were coping better after a heavily disrupted Q2," S&P Global Market Intelligence principal economist David Owen said. "Still, the volatile situation in the Strait of Hormuz continues to make the future uncertain and kept price pressures elevated in July, which firms struggled to fully pass on to customers amid a competitive business environment. Firms also saw a reduction in inventories despite a sharp rise in purchasing, suggesting they are still operating with tighter stock volumes and longer supply schedules."In geopolitical news, Axios reported, citing two regional sources, that the US, Iran, and Oman are nearing an interim agreement to resume shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Axios also stated that the deal could be announced as soon as Wednesday.Moving to regional corporate news, Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. for Distribution (ADX:ADNOCDIST), d/b/a Adnoc Distribution, recorded a 58.5% year-over-year growth in its attributable net profit for the first half, backed by higher fuel volumes and growth in non-fuel retail and positive inventory movements.

FAB Securities reiterated its hold rating and a price target of 270 Emirati dirhams after the lender logged a higher-than-expected net profit in the second quarter.

S&P: UAE Non-oil Private Sector Growth Regains Momentum in July on New Order Boost

Easing regional tensions and a surge in new business helped the United Arab Emirates' non-oil private sector rebound "strongly" in July from a five-year low in the previous month, data from S&P Global showed Wednesday.The S&P Global UAE PMI rose to a four-month high of 52.7 from June's 50.8. New business in the month climbed at its fastest rate since February, as monitored companies reported that client confidence gradually recovered amid improving regional conditions.Notably, non-oil firms saw export demand increase, with a "modest" boost in export sales that was still the quickest pace in a year, signaling an uptick in regional activity. Job creation also returned to positive territory in July, reversing the previous month's near six-year record decline in headcount, as companies sought to grow their numbers to meet rising customer demand.Conversely, cost inflation remained elevated in July, creeping closer to April's peak, with 10% of surveyed companies reporting higher expenses across key inputs including fuel, food, fertilizers, software, and shipping. Amid cost headwinds and ongoing supply chain disruptions, business confidence dropped for the third straight month, with only 7% of non-oil companies anticipating production expanding over the coming year."Still, the volatile situation in the Strait of Hormuz continues to make the future uncertain and kept price pressures elevated in July, which firms struggled to fully pass on to customers amid a competitive business environment. Firms also saw a reduction in inventories despite a sharp rise in purchasing, suggesting they are still operating with tighter stock volumes and longer supply schedules," S&P Global Market Intelligence Principal Economist David Owen said.Zooming in on Dubai, the PMI also rose to 51.7 in July 2026 from 50.7 previously, with new orders rising to their highest level since March amid growing customer demand. However, business activity growth eased to the slowest rate since June 2021 due to competition and pricing headwinds.

"The scale of the sell-off seems fairly overdone, given that there's still considerable uncertainty. We've been in this situation multiple times before, only to see things unravel. And with Iran denying that any talks are underway and Trump issuing warnings if no deal materialises, the backdrop clearly leaves ample room for a renewed escalation."Back home and on the corporate front, FAB Securities confirmed Americana Restaurants International's (ADX:AMR) buy rating with a price target of 2.50 Emirati dirhams after its second-quarter attributable profit surpassed the financial services firm's expectations.

UAE Stocks Closed Mixed Amid Central Bank Rate Hold

Stock trading in the United Arab Emirates closed on both sides of the spectrum on Thursday, with the FTSE ADX General Index adding 0.399% and the DFM General Index little changed at 0.08% in the red at the close of trading.The UAE Central Bank on Wednesday kept the base rate applicable to the overnight deposit facility unchanged at 3.65%, while also maintaining the interest rate applicable to borrowing short-term liquidity at 50 basis points above the base rate for all standing credit facilities.The financial regulator's decision was in line with the US Fed's move to keep the federal funds rate steady, as the Emirati dirham is pegged to the US dollar."The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted 9 to 3 to keep the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75%. President Warsh struck a hawkish tone by repeatedly emphasising that inflation had remained above two per cent for too long. However, he was not among the three FOMC members who voted in favour of a 25bp increase," Berenberg said. "We reiterate our call that if tensions in the Middle East ease, as we anticipate in our base case scenario, the Fed will not need to increase its key interest rate. However, under Warsh, the risk of a surprise has increased significantly."Meanwhile, geopolitical risks remained in focus as the US Central Command launched another round of strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' command centers, missile and drone facilities, and defense sites in Iran in response to the latter's ballistic missile strikes on US forces in the Middle East.Back home, the UAE Capital Market Authority's board approved the removal of 15 fees to reduce costs and enhance regulatory services provided to licensed companies and individuals operating in capital markets.Over to corporates, Adnoc Drilling (ADX:ADNOCDRILL) logged a higher first-half attributable profit of $701.9 million, backed by a 4% year-over-year revenue growth, but closed the session flat.
