First-half credit impairments rose to $446m, including $234m of management overlays linked to the Middle East conflict. A prolonged conflict or wider regional stress could push losses higher. (Standard Chartered)

Management expects net interest income to grow only at a low single-digit rate in 2026. That leaves earnings exposed if fee income and loan growth do not offset pressure on interest margins. (Standard Chartered)
