Last update: 6 hours ago

Strait of Hormuz & Red Sea Security: Trump escalates “economic D-Day” threats against Iran as oil jumps toward $95, while Yemen’s Houthis plan to expand control around Bab El-Mandeb—raising fears of a second choke point after Hormuz. Markets & Cost of Living: Treasury yield spikes and oil-led pressure hit futures, with analysts warning higher energy costs could flow into gasoline and diesel. U.S. Military Readiness: A USS Benfold destroyer suffered a four-day power blackout in the South China Sea, underscoring maintenance strain as the fleet crisis deepens. Gulf Real Estate: Dubai says 104 projects delivered 24,000+ new homes in H1, signaling continued investor confidence. Logistics Shift: Sri Lanka is reportedly emerging as an alternative transit hub for high-value cargo, including a shipment of luxury cars routed via Hambantota and airlifted onward. Tech & Policing: China deploys “robocops” to issue traffic warnings, including helmetless e-bike riders, as automation moves into everyday enforcement.
