Bloomberg's "Horizons Middle East & Africa" offers a daily broadcast from Dubai, delivering real-time insights into global markets and in-depth analysis, with a particular focus on the Middle East and Africa. The program aims to keep viewers informed on the region's rapid growth and significant deals, connecting market drivers from the US and Asia to the MEA's trading day.
The show provides deep-dive analysis on key business, energy, and geopolitical stories that influence traders' decisions across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. It serves audiences globally, catering to those starting their day in London or Johannesburg, pausing for lunch in Hong Kong, or heading to the office in the Gulf.
Recent broadcasts have covered significant events such as rising oil prices due to US-Iran stalemates and doubts over the Hormuz deal, an Iranian missile attack reported by the UAE, and the US stepping up economic pressure on Iran. Other topics include the ongoing AI rally with strong sales outlooks from companies like Coreweave and Supermicro, and the performance of Asian equities including the KOSPI and Japan's banking sector. The program also highlights commodity risks in Africa and the evolution of humanoid robots. Earlier in August, the broadcast also noted a drone strike on a Libyan oil refinery and the sentencing to death of ousted former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
