Investors have broadly welcomed Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi’s bid to assert his power over the country’s strong military leaders.
Egyptian equities rose 1.5 per cent on Monday after Sunday’s dramatic announcements and the central bank successfully completed a regular bond auction that netted 5.1bn Egyptian pounds, 100m more than planned.
But the latest developments don’t herald the end of the long-running political conflict between the Muslim Brotherhood backing Morsi and the army. The president has won an important battle but he has not won the war.
