From the Editor
It was a stop-and-start kind of week both on Wall Street and in the Gulf, as tech stocks wavered heading into the historic IPO from Elon Musk’s SpaceX and fresh fighting broke out in the Middle East.

Forex Market Snapshot

EUR and GBP are up slightly,
USDJPY is flat after coming off its high but clinging to 160+.
