Snippet: Despite the region’s vast expanses and varied landscapes, rail travel is far from a novelty in the Middle East. A line between Alexandria and Cairo opened in 1854 and the Hejaz Railway, constructed by the Ottoman Empire between 1900 and 1908, are two examples of early modernisation in the Arab world.

Snippet: With rate-hikes increasingly back 'on the table' fort Fed Chair Warsh's 'regime change' last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says that cutting interest rates won't necessarily lead to a weaker dollar - arguing that "you can have a strong dollar when rates are being cut" because if the fed is cutting because inflation is falling, while the economy stays strong - capital keeps flowing in and the dollar holds.

Snippet: We never had it so good. The S&P 500 and Nikkei 225 just hit record highs. SpaceX had its spectacular initial public offering, raising an eye-popping $75 billion (the largest IPO in history) with a sharp rise in share price to a mind-blowing valuation of $2.5 trillion. The possibility of a US-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz has caused gasoline prices to drop back to below $4 per gallon, or about $1 per liter.

Snippet: Just over two years ago, we first penned our views on "The Next AI Trade", which looked beyond the hyperscalers and the data centers supporting the AI revolution, and instead focused on the energy and logistical needs that would be so very critical in allowing the US to dominate China in the existential race to first reach Artificial General Intelligence (which many have dubbed the next nuclear arms race due to its profound civilizational implications).

This move will test investor appetite for another mega AI-linked offering and demonstrate whether markets can absorb another massive listing weeks after the SpaceX IPO.
