UAE Steady Amid Market Swings
As we've come to expect from markets in 2025, another 24 hours of news headlines roiled markets. According to Josh Gilbert, Market Analyst at eToro, initially, there was optimism following Trump's 'very good' call with China's Xi Jinping, which revived hopes of trade negotiations progressing. However, the market quickly changed its focus to the Trump/Musk spat that unfolded via social media, sending Tesla shares tumbling 13% overnight. This will provide a hit to overall market sentiment, particularly tech, but may not be something long-lasting other than for Tesla. They've already had a pretty terrible start to the year, surrendering their EV crown to BYD and losing market share globally, so this political punch is only going to put downside pressure on Tesla shares. The EV slowdown hit hard, but being in the political firing line adds a new layer of risk for Tesla the noise, global equities remain elevated after a strong run since April. But that momentum faces a test. Tariff tensions and political risk continue to cloud the outlook, and for the rally to continue, investors will need clarity on trade and policy, both of which remain elusive for the UAE, local markets have held firm near multi-year highs, supported by strong earnings and President Trump's recent visit, helping to bolster regional confidence. This alongside a pipeline of exciting IPOs and solid macro backdrop is drawing sustained foreign investment. The performance from DFM and ADX this year, outperforming the S&P500 only solidifies the UAE's position as a growing global financial hub that investors shouldn't ignore. With so much uncertainty in markets, we continue to see a compelling case for keeping long-term exposure to gold. Over the long term, we believe gold remains a strategic asset: a core holding amid accelerating de-globalization, and a transition asset during a period marked by policy uncertainty. It offers stability against risk events while providing a reliable longer-term store of value and, importantly, as a portfolio diversifier. Even in the age of digital assets and AI, a bit of that classic yellow metal can provide balance and reassurance.

U.S. Federal court strikes down Trump's global tariffs in blow to trade strategy
ALBAWABA- In a significant legal rebuke to President Donald Trump's trade agenda, a U.S. federal court has blocked his sweeping global tariffs, ruling that he overstepped constitutional limits on executive power. The Court of International Trade found that the administration's use of emergency powers under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) did not authorize the president to impose tariffs unilaterally on nearly every country. The White House on Thursday blasted a federal court's decision to block many of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, marking a major setback to his trade strategy. Full story: — AFP News Agency (@AFP) May 29, 2025 The New York-based court reaffirmed that the U.S. Constitution grants Congress, not the president, the exclusive authority to regulate international trade. It also invalidated a separate set of duties targeting China, Mexico, and Canada, imposed under claims of drug trafficking and illegal immigration. The decision came in response to two lawsuits: one filed by the Liberty Justice Center on behalf of small importers, and another by a coalition of 12 states led by New York. Attorney General Letitia James hailed the ruling: "The law is clear: no president has the power to raise taxes whenever they like single-handedly.' The White House quickly condemned the ruling as 'blatantly wrong,' vowing to appeal and seeking a stay on the order. 'It is not for unelected judges to decide how to address a national emergency properly,' said Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai. This marks the first major legal defeat for Trump's so-called 'Liberation Day' tariffs, a central pillar of his economic platform. However, the court did not address tariffs on specific goods such as steel, aluminum, and cars, which fall under a different legal framework.
