Wires carry headlines citing the Israeli Army Radio, pointing to an exchange of fire between Egyptian and Israeli troops in the Rafah area.
- Plenty of local reports covering that incident have been doing the rounds over the last hour or so.
- Recent headlines also note that Israel is taking part in dialogue with Egypt following the incident.
- Jerusalem Post sources note that “an Egyptian soldier was killed in the exchange of fire,” also flagging the dialogue identified above.
- There may be some marginal spill over into core global FI markets and oil, with benchmark crude oil and Bund futures registering incremental fresh session highs in recent trade.
- Still, this is more of a geopolitical risk story than something that will impact broader crude oil supply, explaining the limited move in oil futures.
