Markets

The numbers behind the story.

Not a ticker. Every instrument here is on the page because it explains something on the feed — and says so. Oil prices Hormuz risk; the rial prices sanctions; a pegged currency is only news when the peg slips.

Energy

  • Brent Crude

    BZ=F · USD/bbl · NY Mercantile

    105.86USD
    +1.20%

    The Middle East oil benchmark. Moves on Hormuz risk, OPEC+ decisions and Gulf supply disruption.

  • Dutch TTF Gas

    TTF=F · EUR/MWh · NY Mercantile

    82.0700EUR
    +3.21%

    European gas benchmark — the price Qatari and Israeli LNG competes into.

  • WTI Crude

    CL=F · USD/bbl · NY Mercantile

    101.51USD
    +1.46%

    US benchmark. The Brent-WTI spread widens when the risk premium is specifically regional, not global.

  • US Natural Gas

    NG=F · USD/MMBtu · NY Mercantile

    2.9000USD
    +2.44%

    Global gas context against the European benchmark.

Food & industrial commodities

  • Copper

    HG=F · USD/lb · COMEX

    6.4120USD
    -2.08%

    Industrial-demand bellwether — reads global growth, the backdrop against which Gulf diversification plans are judged.

  • Wheat

    ZW=F · US cents/bushel · CBOT

    722.00USX
    -0.45%

    Egypt is the world's largest wheat importer and bread subsidies are politically load-bearing; Black Sea supply shocks land here first. Quoted in US CENTS, not dollars.

  • Corn

    ZC=F · US cents/bushel · CBOT

    534.00USX
    +0.71%

    Animal feed and food processing input across the region. Quoted in US CENTS, not dollars.

Currencies

  • US Dollar / Qatari Riyal

    QAR=X · QAR · CCY

    3.6400QAR
    +0.00%

    Pegged. Broke its band during the 2017 blockade — a live blockade-risk gauge.

  • US Dollar / Lebanese Pound

    LBP=X · LBP · CCY

    89,500LBP
    +0.00%

    Post-collapse rate. Context for every Lebanese economic and reconstruction story.

  • US Dollar / Iraqi Dinar

    IQD=X · IQD · CCY

    1,310IQD
    -0.00%

    Baghdad's dollar auctions and US Treasury restrictions surface here first.

  • US Dollar / Pakistani Rupee

    PKR=X · PKR · CCY

    277.04PKR
    +0.00%

    Adjacent economy in Zaviye's coverage: IMF programmes, Gulf remittances, Iran border trade.

  • US Dollar / Egyptian Pound

    EGP=X · EGP · CCY

    51.8000EGP
    +0.95%

    Tracks IMF programme milestones, Suez receipts and Gulf deposit support.

  • US Dollar / Turkish Lira

    TRY=X · TRY · CCY

    48.6173TRY
    +0.13%

    Turkey's central bank credibility in one number. A core domestic political story.

  • US Dollar / Israeli Shekel

    ILS=X · ILS · CCY

    3.0368ILS
    +0.22%

    Prices war risk and reservist mobilisation faster than any official statement.

  • US Dollar / Jordanian Dinar

    JOD=X · JOD · CCY

    0.708000JOD
    +0.04%

    Pegged. Jordan absorbs regional refugee and trade shocks with little buffer.

  • US Dollar / Iranian Rial

    IRR=X · IRR · CCY

    1,374,852IRR
    +0.05%

    Free-market rate, not the official peg — the most honest read on sanctions pressure available publicly.

  • US Dollar / Moroccan Dirham

    MAD=X · MAD · CCY

    9.4693MAD
    +0.77%

    Managed float widening in stages — a slow, deliberate liberalisation worth watching against Egypt's abrupt one.

  • US Dollar / Tunisian Dinar

    TND=X · TND · CCY

    2.9145TND
    +1.00%

    Tracks Tunisia's stalled IMF negotiations and its debt-servicing squeeze.

  • US Dollar / Algerian Dinar

    DZD=X · DZD · CCY

    133.34DZD
    +0.54%

    Hydrocarbon-funded and heavily managed; moves reflect gas revenue and the parallel-market gap more than markets.

  • US Dollar / Afghan Afghani

    AFN=X · AFN · CCY

    64.3400AFN
    +0.06%

    Aid-dependent and cash-constrained since 2021 — a live read on the humanitarian financing picture.

  • US Dollar / Azerbaijani Manat

    AZN=X · AZN · CCY

    1.6995AZN
    +0.00%

    Energy-corridor economy on Iran's northern border, central to the Middle Corridor trade route.

  • US Dollar / UAE Dirham

    AED=X · AED · CCY

    3.6726AED
    +0.00%

    Pegged. Same logic as the riyal: watch for the peg breaking, not the daily move.

  • US Dollar / Omani Rial

    OMR=X · OMR · CCY

    0.385000OMR
    +0.03%

    Pegged. Oman runs the thinnest fiscal buffer in the GCC, so peg-stress questions surface here first.

  • US Dollar / Saudi Riyal

    SAR=X · SAR · CCY

    3.7556SAR
    +0.00%

    Pegged at ~3.75. Deviation is itself the story — it signals stress on the peg.

  • US Dollar / Kuwaiti Dinar

    KWD=X · KWD · CCY

    0.308200KWD
    +0.52%

    Pegged to a currency basket rather than the dollar alone — the GCC's one deliberate exception.

  • US Dollar / Bahraini Dinar

    BHD=X · BHD · CCY

    0.377000BHD
    +0.02%

    Pegged, and the GCC peg most often questioned — Bahrain carries the highest debt burden and leans on Saudi support.

  • Tadawul All Share (TASI)

    ^TASI.SR · SAR · Saudi

    10,878SAR
    +0.13%

  • BIST 100

    XU100.IS · TRY · Istanbul

  • S&P 500

    ^GSPC · USD · SNP

    7,634USD
    -0.31%

    Global risk baseline: separates a regional shock from a worldwide risk-off move.

  • Dubai Financial Market General

    DFMGI.AE · AED · Dubai

    5,977AED
    +0.59%

    Dubai's bourse — regional trade, property and re-export sentiment, and a proxy for Gulf risk appetite.

Metals

  • Gold

    GC=F · USD/oz · COMEX

    4,352USD

    Safe-haven bid during regional escalation, and the household inflation hedge in Turkey and Iran.

  • Silver

    SI=F · USD/oz · COMEX

    64.2150USD
    -1.49%

    Confirms or contradicts a gold move — separates a true safe-haven bid from a broad metals rally.

    BTC-USD · USD · CCC

    79,149USD
    +2.38%

    A capital-flight and sanctions-evasion channel in Turkey and Iran, where it competes with gold and the dollar as a store of value.

    +0.29%

    A rising dollar tightens every pegged and import-dependent economy in the region at once.

  • US 10-Year Yield

    ^TNX · % · Cboe Indices

    4.9550USD

    Drives Gulf borrowing costs — the pegs import US monetary policy directly.

  • CBOE Volatility Index

    16.7100USD
    +5.49%

    Global fear gauge — distinguishes a regional escalation from a worldwide risk-off move.

Structural indicators

Annual figures from World Bank open data. These move slowly and are published with a lag, so the year is printed against every value — countries are not always on the same one, and a stale year is itself information about what a government does and does not report.
