The world's largest sovereign wealth fund withdraws its investments from Israel
Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest with total assets exceeding US$ 1.6 trillion, announced the divestment of several Israeli companies, an unprecedented move that reflects a shift in the fund's policies toward Israel. According to the fund's official website, an interactive map shows its investments in each country, and until recently, the fund's investments in Israel were substantial, with data revealing that it had pumped more than 16.2 billion Norwegian kroner (approximately $1.6 billion) into the Israeli market, compared to only 973 million Norwegian kroner (approximately $96 million) into Egypt. Eleven Israeli companies have been directly impacted by the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund's decision, particularly Bet Shemesh Engines Holdings, a company operating in the aerospace and defense sector and listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Despite the announcement of the withdrawal, the company's stock closed up +3.40 percent, according to Market Screener, indicating that the market has yet to fully absorb the impact of the decision, or that local investors have rushed to fill the void. Other prominent companies impacted by the Norwegian Wealth Fund's decision include: Elbit Systems, a defense industry and technology company. Ashtrom Group, a construction and real estate development company. Delek Group, one of Israel's largest energy companies. Shuversal, Israel's largest retail chain. Veronique International (Electra), an infrastructure and contracting company. Mounting European pressure on Israel Israel has been facing significant European pressure recently, with France and Britain threatening to announce their recognition of a Palestinian state during the upcoming UN meetings in September. Meanwhile, Germany announced a halt towards invest in any Israeli companies involved in the war on the Gaza Strip.

German Airports See 16% Drop in Passenger Numbers
Israa Farhan Passenger traffic through German airports rose by 2.8% in the first half of this year, yet the commercial aviation sector in Germany continues to face significant challenges, according to the German Aviation Association. Data shows that German airports handled a total of 99.4 million passengers between January and June 2025. However, this figure remains around 16% below the pre-pandemic levels recorded in 2019. In the same period last year, passenger numbers had increased by 10%. The German Aviation Association highlighted that Germany is lagging behind other European countries, attributing this to high taxes and airport fees. As a result, airlines are withdrawing aircraft from German airports and deploying them to more cost-competitive locations in other European countries. Low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and easyJet have removed roughly one in three aircraft that were previously based in Germany since 2019. Out of 190 planes in their German fleets, only 130 remain stationed in the country. Industry leaders warn that this trend is not only reducing Germany's international connectivity but is also causing economic losses worth billions. Each medium-haul aircraft supports about 170 jobs and contributes approximately 70 million euros to the nation's gross domestic product. To align with more competitive European markets, the association has called for government passenger fees, currently around 35 euros per traveler, to be cut by half. It also noted that a previously planned aviation tax reduction for 2026, which was later scrapped, would have sent a strong signal to the airline industry. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

COT Report: Speculators slash commodity longs to 11-month low, gold remains dominant
Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy, Saxo Bank Commodities In the week to August 5, several major developments drove positioning changes across key commodities. Trump's abrupt reversal on copper tariffs triggered a 22% slump in New York prices, prompting funds to halve their HG copper net long. In energy, OPEC+'s continued production increases—potentially into a softening demand period—pressured crude oil, while fading tightness in the diesel market led to long liquidation in London and New York from recent three-year highs. Grains remained under pressure as favourable U.S., European, and Black Sea weather maintained strong crop prospects, reinforcing elevated speculative short positions across wheat, corn, and soybeans. Notably, soybean futures jumped 2.5% in early Monday trade after Trump urged China to quadruple U.S. soy purchases as part of efforts to cut its trade deficit with China. As of late July, US government data showed China, the world's top buyer of soybeans, had yet to book any cargoes for the upcoming season that starts in September as tensions between the two sides linger. Overall, managed money accounts engaged in broad-based selling, with most of the 27 major commodity futures tracked seeing net reductions. The combined net long fell to an 11-month low of 540,000 contracts, valued at USD 107 billion. More than half of this nominal value came from gold's 161,811-contract net long—which, in contrast to the broader trend, rose 13% last week as a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report and potential dovish shift from the FOMC boosted September rate-cut expectations. Forex Despite emerging signs of the recent dollar recovery had run out of steam, speculators extended their recent buying spree to six leading to a considerable amount of further dollar short-covering. Overall, the gross USD short versus eight IMM forex futures slumped by 38% to USD 7.1 billion, the lowest belief in a weaker dollar since April, with selling seen across all eight except the Mexican peso, and led by JPY, EUR and not least GBP after the net short jumped to near a three-year high. Another extreme emerged in AUD where the net short reached an 18-month high.
