Saudi Shares Close Lower; US Temporarily Waives Sanctions for Iranian Crude Sales

The Tadawul All Share Index on Tuesday closed 0.35% in the red as investors tuned into the latest updates on the US-Iran conflict.Reuters reported that the US waived its sanctions on Iran for 60 days, while a general license deal will allow the Middle Eastern nation to sell its crude oil, petrochemical and petroleum products until Aug. 21."There were fresh signs of progress in the negotiations, with Vice President JD Vance saying that the weekend talks were 'very, very good.'

"So that backdrop saw oil prices come down, with Brent crude (-3.31%) closing at a 3-month low of $77.90/bbl, whilst WTI (-2.32%) also fell to $74.82/bbl."In other news, and also dampening sentiment, are the back-and-forth strikes between Russia and Ukraine.

According to reports, the 14-point MoU foresees a rapid re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz, with an extendable 60-day period to negotiate a final deal that would cover nuclear issues and broad sanctions relief.

Tadawul Equities End Lower Amid US Fed Rate Jitters

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Wednesday lower at 0.28% in the red ahead of the latest and highly anticipated monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve.Aside from the expected rate hold, market watchers will also be on the lookout for the policies and economic views of the newest Fed chair, Kevin Warsh."No change in the policy rate (3.50% to 3.75% range) is expected, but the press conference could offer interesting sound bites for markets to potentially rethink the future policy stance. Whilst the statement should turn more hawkish, Warsh may want to communicate his more dovish view, though probably not explicitly. He could, for example, reiterate his conviction about AI-related productivity growth, which would justify lower policy rates further in the future. Overall, such comments are likely to stay at a high level as he's also not a fan of forward guidance," ING said.In other news, investors are also tuning into the new updates on the G7 summit as it heads into its last day. The third day will focus on coming up with a plan for the critical minerals supply chain in the West.Back at home, Waja Co.

IEA Forecasts Oil Market Recovery in 2027 After US-Iran Deal

The International Energy Agency expects the oil market to recover in 2027 following weak demand amid disruptions arising from the Middle East war, after the US and Iran reached an interim peace deal that could lead to a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.In its June oil market report published Wednesday, the IEA said global oil demand is anticipated to decline by 1.1 million barrels per day year over year in 2026, a downgrade of 700,000 barrels per day from its previous month's forecast, as deliveries fell in the second quarter due to increased fuel prices and supply disruptions. Meanwhile, global supply is forecast to drop by 3.9 million barrels of oil per day on average in 2026, to 102.4 million barrels per day, before rebounding to 110.3 million barrels per day in the next year."Further declines in the coming months could still take global oil stocks to historic lows before the market balance shifts to surplus towards the end of the year," the IEA noted.Looking ahead, a rebound in demand growth of a "modest" 2 million barrels per day is projected in 2027 as trade flow normalizes, oil prices decline and the economic outlook brightens, under the assumption that the deal holds."While the US‑Iran interim agreement paves the way for a rebound in Middle East exports, operational and political constraints, including prolonged demining and unresolved transit arrangements, leave downside risks to the outlook," the IEA said.The US-Iran agreement is set to be signed on Friday in Switzerland.

IMF: Europe, Other Energy-importing Countries Hit Hard by Middle East War

Countries particularly hit the hardest by the war in the Middle East are those that are heavily dependent on energy imports and have limited policy space, according to the International Monetary Fund."More than three months into the war in the Middle East, the global economy appears to be holding up," IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in a blog post published Monday. "But an overall resilient global picture masks significant disparities. Even among advanced economies, some countries and communities have been harder hit. And in Africa, the negative impacts are more conspicuous. Meanwhile, with the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz and infrastructure in the Middle East damaged by the fighting, uncertainty and risks remain high."Georgieva noted that Europe, which heavily relies on imported oil and gas, is facing higher inflation due to increased energy prices. France, Italy and Germany are among the euro area countries that have logged an increase in inflation since the war began in February.

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Monday trading muted at 0.08% in the red as investors assessed Saudi Arabia's latest economic releases and the updates on the US-Iran conflict.Dominating headlines all around the world is the preliminary pact that the US and Iran agreed to sign in Switzerland on Friday.

Tadawul Shares Start Week Higher on US-Iran Peace Deal Hopes

Saudi Exchange-traded closed Sunday upbeat as the prospects of a US and Iran peace deal pushed the Tadawul All Share Index 0.57% firmly in the green.Investors are patiently waiting for updates regarding the signing of an interim deal that would end the conflict between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump signaled that the memorandum of understanding would be signed on Sunday.However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the peace framework will be signed "in the coming days." An undisclosed senior Iranian official said that the final draft of its deal reportedly includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, oil sanction waivers, releasing frozen Iranian assets, as well as other nuclear clauses.Looking ahead to the week, the local economic calendar will mostly be empty except for the release of Saudi Arabia's inflation print for May on Monday. Market watchers will also look out for the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and economic projections on Wednesday."In terms of Wednesday's FOMC meeting, we expect the Fed to leave monetary policy unchanged, but we do expect a statement that puts greater emphasis on the possibility of an interest rate rise," ING said in a note. "In the press conference, he will likely acknowledge that economic conditions do not justify rate cuts at this time. Nonetheless, he could reiterate his view that, in time, tech investment will boost US productivity, meaning faster growth without generating inflation. That would imply a lower neutral interest rate that justifies lower policy rates over the medium to longer term."Back at home and on the corporate front, Saudi Pharmaceutical Industries and Medical Appliances (SASE:2070), d/b/a Spimaco, shares ticked up 3.58% at closing as it agreed to boost its stake in Arabian Medical Products Manufacturing, or Enayah, to 63% for 45 million Saudi riyals.
