Saudi Shares End Wednesday Muted Amid Focus on US-Iran Peace Deal Uncertainty

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Wednesday muted at 0.01% in the green as market watchers assess the latest geopolitical updates on the US-Iran peace deal.US President Donald Trump said at the two-day NATO summit in Turkey that its memorandum of understanding with Iran was "over." The statement came after renewed attacks were reported at the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns about the area's security and safety.Speaking of the US, investors are also tuned into the Federal Reserve's newest meeting minutes. The minutes can help provide investors with insights regarding the group's next rate moves."Today's minutes will clarify how serious members are about the possibility of rate hikes. Based on post-meeting communication, we see limited risk of a dovish surprise in the minutes. We expect a cementing of the hawkish message to firm up dollar momentum, although we don't expect it to lead to a break higher as markets may be reluctant to reprice rate expectations aggressively higher (now 35bp by December) after the soft jobs report," ING said in a note.Back at home, United Electronics Co. (SASE:4003), d/b/a eXtra, shares declined 6.03% despite logging a preliminary 2.377% increase in estimated attributable net profit and a 5.269% rise in estimated revenue for the first half of 2026.Meanwhile, Academy of Learning Co.

PMI: Saudi Arabia's Non-oil Private Sector Growth Hits Four-month High Amid Improved Domestic Demand

Recovering domestic demand and local customer spending helped bolster operating conditions in Saudi Arabia's non-oil private sector in June, the Riyad Bank said Sunday.The seasonally adjusted Riyad Bank Saudi Arabia PMI came in at a four-month high of 53.3 in June, up from May's 52.8. New business from domestic clients climbed at the fastest rate since February, reflecting project approvals and a rebound in sales after previous delays.As investor sentiment over the regional conflict improved, non-oil business activity in June increased at a pace "broadly consistent" with the prior month, as 18% of surveyed firms reported increased production versus the 2% flagging declines.Supply chains also improved, with delivery times at their quickest pace since February, as Saudi businesses pivoted to local suppliers and alternative shipping routes. Meanwhile, purchasing activity was muted amid reports of "sufficient" inventory levels.However, the reading came in weaker than the survey's long-run trend on persistent headwinds in export markets and heightened price pressures. The surveyed firms noted ongoing logistics challenges in the region and increased foreign competition as hurdles to international sales, while surging purchase and labor costs led to a further increase in selling prices."Business sentiment continued to strengthen, with firms reporting their highest level of optimism since January. The improvement in expectations points to growing confidence in the domestic business environment and suggests that companies increasingly anticipate favourable market conditions to support business activity over the coming months. This positive outlook reinforces expectations that non-oil growth will remain supported during the second half of the year," Riyad Bank chief economist Naif Al-Ghaith said.

Indirect talks in Doha this week have reportedly been positive," ING said in a note.
