Gold stages rebound on dollar weakness; US, EU ink tariff deal
Ammon News - Gold prices gained in choppy trading on Monday, as a weaker dollar helped to offset pressure from improved risk appetite after United States and European Union announced a trade framework agreement. Spot gold was up 0.2% at $3,342.62 per ounce, as of 0421 GMT, after touching its lowest level since July 17. U.S. gold futures edged 0.2% higher to $3,342.90. The U.S. struck a framework trade agreement with the European Union on Sunday, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods - half the threatened rate - and averting a bigger trade war between the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade. However, the agreement left key issues unresolved, including tariffs on spirits. The U.S. dollar index eased 0.1%, making greenback-priced bullion more affordable for overseas buyers. Risk sentiment improved following the agreement, with European currencies and U.S. stock index futures trading higher. Spot silver was up 0.2% at $38.21 per ounce, while platinum gained 1.2% to $1,417.67 and palladium rose 2.9% to $1,254.98. Reuters

QAIA welcomes 4.4m passengers in H1 2025
AMMAN — Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) recorded its 'highest-ever' semi-annual passenger traffic in the first half of 2025, welcoming 4.4 million travellers, marking a 6 per cent increase compared with the same period in 2024, the Airport International Group (AIG) said on Thursday. The rise in traffic was largely driven by the resumption of several regional and European routes, as well as increased travel during Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr. Aircraft movements also rose by 2.2 per cent, reaching 36,331 during the six-month period. Despite regional tensions disrupting some flight schedules in June, QAIA said that it continues to strengthen its position as a growing regional hub. 'We chose Jordan as a stop between Europe and the Gulf,' said Chloe Martin, a French tourist travelling with her family. Hasan M., a Jordanian residing in Qatar who was transiting through QAIA, commended the facility's recent enhancements. 'It's clear the airport is aiming for international standards. The new e-gates made passport control seamless, especially during peak hours,' he said. Tourism expert Rania Wazzan said QAIA's performance underscores Jordan's emerging role as a 'strategic' link between East and West. 'The airport's integration of green infrastructure and digital transformation gives it a strong competitive edge in regional tourism,' she noted. Reaffirming its focus on passenger experience, QAIA was named the 'Most Enjoyable Airport in the Middle East' for the second year in a row. In June, nine new smart gates were introduced to streamline arrivals and departures for Jordanian citizens. With expanding air connectivity, sustainability initiatives, and continued operational upgrades, QAIA is 'steadily' cementing its reputation as a world-class aviation gateway, AIG said.
