The report, citing Iraqi and other regional officials, stated that an agreement to restore the approximately 800-kilometer-long pipeline is expected to be announced next week during Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Zaidis meeting with Trump at the White House. The pipeline, which has been out of service for decades, is currently severely damaged. The report quoted a senior official as saying that the pipeline will likely require complete reconstruction, a project expected to take two to three years. Several American companies have already been recruited to participate in the project.July 11 - Irans Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Illavani, warned on the 11th that if the United States continues to violate its obligations, Iran will no longer abide by the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States.According to Axios, a regional source said that parties are discussing the possibility of issuing a potential statement on the full opening and free passage of the "middle channel" (located in international waters) in the Strait of Hormuz.According to RIA Novosti, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has deployed almost all available Western missile defense systems to Kyiv.Saudi Foreign Ministry: The Saudi Foreign Minister spoke with the Pakistani Foreign Minister and reaffirmed support for mediation efforts and the resumption of dialogue.

S&P 500 Pulls Back As Big Tech Stocks Retreat

The post-market session saw Meta Stock test multi-year lows.


The major tech names caused the S&P 500 to lose momentum and fall towards the support at 3835 after reaching highs near the resistance at 3885.


Following poor earnings results that were announced yesterday after the market closed, Alphabet was down 9% and Microsoft was down 7%.


After falling short of analyst expectations and posting an extra $766 million charge on the purchase of two new U.S. presidential aircraft, Boeing saw its share price decline by 8%.


The poor results from the top technology giants outweighed the benefits of reduced Treasury rates and a weaker US currency. As traders gambled that the Fed may be obliged to be less hawkish, the yield on 10-year Treasuries tried to settle down below the 4.00% mark.


It should be emphasized that the Bank of Canada previously increased the rate by 50 basis points, against the 75 basis points predicted by analysts, after determining that aggressive rate rises were placing too much pressure on the economy. The world markets benefited somewhat from this action.


Energy equities including Hess, Halliburton, ConocoPhillips, and others were climbing on a robust recovery in the oil markets as top tech firms came under pressure.


Traders focused on the quarterly report from Meta during the post-market session. Meta announced profits of $1.64 per share and sales of $27.71 billion, exceeding analyst expectations for revenue but falling short of them for profitability. The business said that although average pricing per ad fell by 18%, ad impressions rose by 17% year over year. On an annualized basis, revenue dropped by 4%. The news was unpopular with traders, and Meta is down 12% in the after-market session. The outcomes of Meta might significantly depress market sentiment tomorrow.


Ford reported a loss of $0.21 per share and sales of $39.4 billion. The $2.7 billion non-cash impairment of Ford's investment in Argo AI, which was creating L4 advanced driver assistance systems, was what caused the loss. Supply problems and higher-than-expected supplier payments also had an influence on Ford's financial performance. In the session after the market close, the stock fell by nearly 1%.
