Saudi private sector growth maintains momentum | GulfNews.com:
"Growth in Saudi Arabia’s non-oil private sector was maintained at a steady rate in June, according to the latest Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data from Emirates NBD.
Output and new order growth remained very strong in June, although the pace of activity and order growth in June was slightly slower than May.
“The non-oil sector in Saudi Arabia is expanding at a robust rate, despite low oil prices, government spending cuts and more recently, higher interbank lending rates. Firms appear to be increasing operating efficiency, as jobs growth remains sluggish even as activity and new orders are rising,” said Khatija Haque, Head of Mena Research at Emirates NBD."

MIDEAST STOCKS-Egypt jumps on further devaluation speculation | Reuters:
"Egypt's stock market posted its largest one-day gain in nearly four months on Sunday as speculation over a further currency devaluation in the North African country combined with positive global cues to propel the exchange higher.
In the first day of trading after the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which marks the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, Egypt's main index jumped 4.7 percent.
The surge came after a 2.9 percent increase last Monday, the last session before the holiday, following comments from Egypt's central bank governor which said the Egyptian pound should be a market-based currency where demand and supply set the price."

US aircraft sales to Iran blocked by House, jeopardising $25bn Boeing deal | World news | The Guardian
US aircraft sales to Iran blocked by House, jeopardising $25bn Boeing deal | World news | The Guardian:
"The House of Representatives has passed a measure that would block US aircraft sales to Iran, potentially undercutting a Boeing deal with Tehran worth up to $25bn.
Two approved amendments to an appropriations bill from Representative Peter Roskam would ban sales from Boeing and European rival Airbus, amid concerns the aircraft could be used for military purposes, the congressman said in a statement on Friday.
One amendment would prohibit the Office of Foreign Assets Control from using funds to authorise a license necessary to allow aircraft to be sold to Iran. A second would bar loans from US financial institutions to purchase militarily adaptable aircraft."
