of Bashar al-Assad. Amr Abdallah Dalsh/Reuters CNN — Syria’s new government is facing backlash after announcing changes to the school curriculum, including introducing what some critics say is an Islamist slant to teaching. The changes, published in a list of amendments on the education ministry’s official Facebook page, include changing the phrases “path of goodness” to “Islamic path,” and “those who have are damned and have gone astray” to “Jews and Christians” – which pertains to an ultra-conservative interpretation of a verse in Islam’s holy book, the Quran. The modifications also redefine the word “martyr,” from someone who died for the homeland to someone who sacrificed themselves “for the sake of God.”

Западные экономисты смирились с тем, что рост спроса на нефть в Китае прошёл. Дальше будет только спад. Так, в августе 2024 года по сравнению с августом 2023 года импорт нефти Китаем был на 7% ниже. И это при том, что часть импортной нефти Китай перерабатывает на НПЗ и отправляет нефтепродукты на экспорт в своём макрорегионе. Главная причина – электромобилизация легкового автотранспорта и перевод грузовиков и специальной техники с дизеля на газ, т.е. снижение спроса на моторное топливо.

Goldman Sachs raises its gold price forecast for early 2025 Firstly, they anticipate faster declines in short-term interest rates in Western countries and China, adding that the gold market “doesn’t fully price in the rates boost to Western ETF holdings backed by physical gold yet, which tends to be gradual.” Secondly, ongoing robust purchases by emerging market (EM) central banks in the London over-the-counter (OTC) market are expected to continue fueling the gold rally that began in 2022. Strategists believe “that these purchases will remain structurally elevated.”

By Kevin Buckland TOKYO (Reuters) -Most Asian stock markets sank on Wednesday, catching up with the sell-off on Wall Street after Iran's ballistic missile strike on Israel provoked fears of a wider regional conflict, while crude oil pushed higher on the risk of supply disruptions. Investors flocked to safer assets, keeping U.S. Treasury yields depressed in Asian time, while gold traded not far from an all-time high. The safe-haven dollar traded close to its strongest in three weeks versus the euro. Macroeconomics also buoyed the dollar, with a resilient U.S. job market arguing for a smaller Federal Reserve interest-rate cut in November, and euro zone inflation trends backing a European Central Bank easing this month. Japan's Nikkei slumped 2% as of 0444 GMT, while South Korea's KOSPI dropped 0.6%. However, Hong Kong's Hang Seng soared 6% as Beijing's stimulus push continued to buoy sentiment. That helped to lift MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares 0.6%, despite broadly fragile investor sentiment.
