1. Israel and Lebanon extend ceasefire after Washington talks
-- Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend the April 16 ceasefire for 45 days after talks in Washington, with negotiations set to resume June 2-3, according to the U.S. State Department.
-- Diplomats get a narrow runway to contain the Lebanon front while the Iran war keeps regional energy and shipping risk elevated, with Brent near $109.
2. Zelenskiy warns Russia may plan Belarus-based NATO attack
-- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia is trying to pull Belarus deeper into the war and may be considering operations against northern Ukraine or a NATO country from Belarusian territory.
-- The warning pushes Poland, Lithuania and Latvia deeper into contingency planning and raises the chance that NATO assets shift toward border security rather than Ukraine support.
3. DOJ prepares possible Raúl Castro indictment as Cuba pressure rises
-- The Justice Department is preparing to seek an indictment against former Cuban President Raúl Castro tied to the 1996 shootdown of Brothers to the Rescue planes, AP reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
-- A criminal charge would add legal escalation to the U.S. blockade strategy, increasing sanctions risk for firms, shippers and banks with Cuba exposure.
4. SpaceX targets June 11 pricing in accelerated Nasdaq IPO plan
-- SpaceX has accelerated its IPO timeline and is targeting June 11 pricing on Nasdaq, Reuters reported, adding a major private-space listing to an already volatile market tape.
-- A listing would test public-market appetite for capital-intensive frontier tech just as rate-cut bets fade, Treasury yields climb and AI-heavy equities retreat from records.
5. Senate crypto bill advances with new surveillance powers intact
-- The Senate Banking Committee advanced its portion of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act on a 15-9 vote, with provisions expanding Bank Secrecy Act and PATRIOT Act tools for digital assets.
-- The bill may reduce some regulation-by-enforcement risk, but wallet developers, privacy-tool users and DeFi operators still face broader compliance and financial-surveillance exposure.
