Live from Dubai, we bring you the latest global markets and analysis, plus news-making interviews, with a special focus on MEA. All that and more, as you head to the office in the Gulf, pause for lunch in Hong Kong, or start your day in London or Johannesburg.

Risk off. US futures fall and the dollar weakens as President Trump says he will set unilateral tariff rates within two weeks. The latest threat coming just a day after Chinese and US officials talked down their own trade tensions; Treasury yields also slumping after strong auction demand for 10-year notes. Benign US inflation data boosting the outlook for more than one Fed cut this year; and the US orders some staff to leave the Middle East, after Iran warns of retaliation in the region if nuclear talks collapse and it comes under attack.
