|---|---|---|---|
| TADAWUL | temporary school closures can signal operational disruption and lower near-term domestic activity sentiment | Downintraday | schools in Riyadh were instructed to shift to remote learning for one week |
| SAR | the directive is operational rather than monetary, so the FX impact is indirect | Watch1-5d | Riyadh schools were ordered to move online for a week |
| SPX | risk-off spillovers from Gulf disruption can affect global sentiment, but this is not a direct U.S. macro event | Watchintraday | the change affects Riyadh-based schooling and local mobility |
