1. Wildfires Return to Canada’s Oil-Sands Region
-- Reuters reported that wildfire season has returned to Canada’s oil-sands region on Sunday, putting a major crude-producing area back under watch as summer fire risk builds.
-- With oil near $92 and Hormuz flows still constrained, any Alberta production disruption would tighten already-sensitive energy supply and feed refinery-margin and inflation risk.

2. Iran Restores Some South Pars Gas Output After Israeli Attacks
-- Iran restored production at three offshore South Pars platforms after Israeli strikes, Pars Oil and Gas Company’s chief told Iranian media on Sunday, according to Al Jazeera.
-- Partial recovery at the world’s largest gas field reduces immediate domestic energy stress, but the repair cycle leaves Gulf infrastructure exposed to renewed war-risk pricing.

3. SpaceX Lowers IPO Valuation Target to at Least $1.8 Trillion
-- Bloomberg reported that SpaceX is now targeting an IPO valuation of at least $1.8 trillion, below an earlier goal above $2 trillion while still positioning the deal as the world’s largest listing.
-- A lower target narrows the private-market premium around strategic space and defense infrastructure, giving public investors a cleaner read on AI, launch and satellite-demand assumptions.

4. IMF Chief Holds Talks With Venezuelan Economic Official
-- Bloomberg reported that IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva met Venezuelan economic official Calixto Ortega in Washington, her first in-person meeting with an authority from the country.

5. UK Transfers GTR Rail Services to Public Ownership
-- The UK government said Govia Thameslink Railway services are now managed by DfT Operator Ltd, moving one of Britain’s largest commuter rail networks into public ownership on Sunday.
-- State control gives ministers direct accountability for fares, labor talks and service reliability on routes feeding London, a test case for nationalized infrastructure operations.
