Opinion | Behind the US-Saudi deal and the attempt to 'remake' the Middle East As reported by the BBC, the United States and Saudi Arabia "signed a landmark deal that will allow the Gulf kingdom to develop a civilian nuclear programme." The deal, described as "a peaceful nuclear co-operation agreement," will provide "great access for American companies in the Saudi nuclear energy program," alongside the caveat that China and Russia are kept out. The deal comes at a critical moment amidst an ongoing war between the US and Iran, Saudi Arabia's rival in the region, wherein peace efforts have largely failed.

Deepline | Stronger financial markets: Exchange Fund earns HK$134.7 bn in first half of year The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) reported on 28 July that the city's Exchange Fund—the de facto sovereign wealth reserve that underpins the Hong Kong dollar's stability—earned HK$134.7 billion in investment income for the first six months of 2026. That represents a 37% drop from the HK$214 billion recorded in the same period a year earlier, yet the headline figure masks a dramatic quarterly turnaround: the second quarter alone contributed HK$90.8 billion, a 107% surge from the first quarter's lacklustre HK$43.9 billion.

Deepline | HK exports post fastest growth in 42 years, US-bound shipments surge record 114.3% Hong Kong's external trade posted its strongest performance in decades in June, driven by robust global demand for AI-related electronic products and a rush in exports ahead of the expiry of the US temporary 10% universal tariff on July 24. Exports jumped 53.4% year on year—the fastest growth since 1984—while imports rose 45.4%, marking the strongest increase since 1992.

Journalist's View | Dialogue with Mr. Yukio Hatoyama: Japan's former PM shares his heart with China Before interviewing former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, I contacted a friend living in Japan to ask what public sentiment towards Mr. Hatoyama is like there today. He mentioned two things. First, during the period when Hatoyama was in power, Japan was in the midst of a broad downturn in its economy—many things he wanted to do could not be carried out. Second, today's Japanese economy seems to have returned to a similar situation again, and right-wing forces are taking advantage of the moment.

With sold-out crowds and over 100,000 attendees, the event drove a vibrant mega-event economy, boosting tourism across the city. From humanoid robots at the opening ceremony to smart stadium management, innovation was on full display. In the South Stand, fans in elaborate costumes embodied the Sevens' carnival spirit. International spectators mingled freely, cheering for the game itself rather than national divides, highlighting HK's role as a global connector.
