1. Iran attacks Kuwait with missiles and drones
-- Kuwait's army said it was confronting Iranian missile and drone attacks as renewed regional hostilities spread beyond the Strait of Hormuz.
-- Direct attacks on another Gulf state widen the military exposure of energy infrastructure and shipping routes; gold's 2.3% daily gain reflects stronger demand for protection against escalation.
2. Russia closes Goethe-Institut branches in retaliation against Germany
-- Moscow ordered Germany's cultural institute branches closed after Berlin shut the Russian House cultural center and a Russian consulate.
-- The reciprocal closures reduce diplomatic and cultural channels between Russia and Germany, making sanctions disputes and security incidents harder to contain outside formal government talks.
3. Philippines rethinks jumbo bond sale as peso falls
-- The Philippines is reconsidering a planned five-year jumbo bond sale because a weaker peso, elevated inflation and rising interest rates have increased borrowing costs.
-- A delay would show how higher global yields are constraining emerging-market financing, with currency weakness forcing governments to choose between expensive debt and reduced fiscal flexibility.
4. Maduro seeks dismissal of U.S. drug case on immunity grounds
-- Nicolás Maduro and his wife asked a New York court to dismiss drug-trafficking charges, arguing that he retains immunity as Venezuela's head of state.
-- A ruling on immunity will define the legal reach of U.S. criminal prosecution against foreign leaders and could affect Washington's handling of deposed or contested governments.
5. SoftBank energy filing lists 8.8 gigawatts of contracted AI capacity
-- SoftBank's SB Energy disclosed 8.8 gigawatts of contracted AI data-center capacity in an IPO filing, although Blockspace Media reported that most of it remains unbuilt.
-- The gap between contracted and operating capacity leaves investors exposed to construction, grid-connection and financing risk while tying future AI infrastructure growth to large additions of power supply.
