Turkey Could get F-35 Jets Despite Israel Opposition | Horizons Middle East & Africa 7/9/2026
Global markets are reacting to a sharp escalation in the US-Iran conflict as the US strikes Iran for a second consecutive day, reigniting fears over global oil supplies. Oil prices surged on renewed risks around the Strait of Hormuz after Iran launched large-scale retaliatory operations against US military bases, while explosions were reported near Bandar Abbas and Sirik. President Trump warned that US strikes would intensify unless Iran halts its attacks and said Washington could reimpose a blockade targeting Iranian access through the Strait of Hormuz.
We also examine the latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes, which highlighted growing concerns over inflation, stronger-than-expected producer prices in China, and a rebound in Asian equity markets led by chip stocks. On Wall Street, investors stepped in to buy the dip despite rising geopolitical uncertainty.
Elsewhere, the US plans to remove Syria from terrorism sanctions list, Turkey could revive to acquire F-35 fighter jets despite Israeli opposition, NATO allies remain cautious over President Trump’s comments on Greenland, and telecom operators MTN and Telecel prepare bids for Ghana’s 5G licenses. Guests Includes Max Kettner, HSBC Chief Multi-Asset Strategist; Rohit Sipahimalani, Temasek CIO; and Karen Young, Colombia University Senior Research Scholar.
