Gold, Oil prices surge amid escalating 'Israeli'-Iranian traded strikes

Gold and oil prices surged to multi-year highs on Friday as military tensions between 'Israel' and Iran intensified, raising fears of a broader Middle East conflict. Gold briefly surpassed USD 3,400 per ounce, peaking at USD 3,444 before settling between USD 3,423 and USD 3,431, marking a daily gain of over 1 percent. At the same time, Brent crude rose 3.2 percent to USD 92.50 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) climbed 3.5 percent to USD 88.70. The spike in oil prices was fueled by concerns over potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint through which 20 percent of global oil supply passes. The rally came in response to a series of major 'Israeli' airstrikes targeting over 100 Iranian sites, including the Natanz nuclear facility and missile production centers. The attacks reportedly killed nine senior Iranian nuclear scientists and military officials. In retaliation, Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones at 'Israeli' cities, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, killing at least three people. Iranian state media reported at least 60 deaths in Iran, including 20 children killed when a residential complex in Tehran was struck.

World Bank Lowers Global Growth Forecast by 0.4% - Jordan News

World Bank Lowers Global Growth Forecast by 0.4% On Tuesday, the World Bank downgraded its global growth forecast for 2025 by 0.4 percentage points, to 2.3%, citing rising tariffs and increasing uncertainty as 'major obstacles' facing nearly all economies. اضافة اعلان In its semi-annual Global Economic Prospects report, shared by CNBC, the Bank lowered growth expectations for nearly 70% of all economies, including the US, China, Europe, and six emerging market regions, compared to forecasts made six months prior to President Donald Trump's inauguration. While the Bank no longer predicts a recession, it stated that global economic growth this year will be the weakest outside recession periods since 2008. By 2027, the average global GDP growth is expected to be only 2.5%, the slowest pace for any decade since the 1960s. The report forecasts global trade growth at 1.8% in 2025, down from 3.4% in 2024 and about one-third of the 5.9% average in the 2000s. These projections assume existing tariffs as of late May, including a 10% US tariff on imports from most countries, excluding tariff increases announced by Trump in April but delayed until July 9 to allow negotiations. The Bank also expects global inflation to reach 2.9% in 2025, remaining above pre-COVID levels due to tariffs and tight labor markets. The Bank emphasized that risks to the global outlook remain heavily skewed to the downside. Models show that an additional 10 percentage point increase in average US tariffs, on top of the existing 10%, along with proportional retaliatory measures by other countries, could further reduce 2025 forecasts by 0.5 percentage points. Such a trade escalation would lead to 'a halt in global trade in the second half of this year, accompanied by widespread collapse in confidence, increased uncertainty, and financial market turmoil.' — (Petra)

Australian engineer freed from Iraqi prison after four years

After spending more than four years in an Iraqi prison, Australian engineer Robert Pether has been granted a conditional release — a development welcomed by his family and supporters. Pether, 50, was arrested in 2021 alongside a colleague over a contract dispute involving their employer, CME Consulting, and the Central Bank of Iraq. The pair were later convicted of fraud and sentenced to five years in prison and a USD 12 million fine. However, the UN has described Pether's detention as arbitrary and in violation of international law, while a 2022 ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce found the Iraqi central bank to be at fault in the business dispute. Pether's wife, Desree, who lives in Ireland with the couple's family, described the news as a moment of mixed emotions. 'It's the first time in over four years that we've taken one step in the right direction,' she told the BBC. 'There's a tiny glimmer of hope, but there's another mountain still to go over. He needs to be home and in hospital.' According to Desree, her husband is in poor health after years of incarceration. He is unable to keep food down and has reportedly not eaten properly in months. She also raised concerns that he may be suffering a relapse of skin cancer. 'He's unrecognisable. If he got on a plane now and they were checking his passport, they would not know it was the same person,' she said. Although freed from prison, Pether is still facing legal proceedings in Iraq and remains under a travel ban. The family has now launched a crowdfunding campaign in the hopes of securing private hospital treatment for him in Baghdad. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong described the release as a "positive development" following years of advocacy. "I know the personal toll Mr Pether's detention has taken on him and his family and hope this news brings a measure of relief after years of distress," she said, adding that Australia remains concerned about his health and the unresolved legal matters. Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris also welcomed the news, saying that Iraq's Foreign Minister had personally confirmed Pether's release in a phone call. 'I welcomed this as a first step to his being allowed to return to his family in Roscommon,' Harris said. Pether had been living in County Roscommon prior to his arrest and had spent nearly a decade working in the Middle East. He was leading a major reconstruction project for the Central Bank's Baghdad headquarters when he and his Egyptian colleague Khalid Radwan were detained.
