Good morning!

While you were sleeping, the prediction market whales were busy. Here's what the smart money is betting on, plus today's top bond picks across sports, finance, politics, and tech.

News Briefing

Middle East Conflict Escalates
The dominating story globally is the rapid intensification of the US-Israel-Iran conflict, which has now entered its sixth day. Tensions surged significantly after the US sank an Iranian warship and launched coordinated strikes with Israel aimed at Iranian security forces and leadership. In retaliation, Iran has initiated a wave of drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, US military bases, and neighboring Gulf states. The escalating violence has prompted widespread airspace closures, severe disruptions to global shipping and air cargo, and urgent evacuation efforts for foreign nationals in the region. Meanwhile, in Washington, the US House of Representatives is preparing to vote on a resolution to limit President Trump's war powers following reports of American military casualties.


Global Economic and Diplomatic Shifts
In other major international developments, China announced a 2026 economic growth target of 4.5% to 5%—its lowest goal since 1991—while simultaneously increasing its defense budget by 7% amid global geopolitical challenges. Compounding China's domestic news, a shallow 4.9 magnitude earthquake struck the Xinjiang region today, causing severe shaking and disrupting travel. Elsewhere, G7 nations are actively negotiating a critical minerals trade pact to counter China's market dominance, Cuba is facing widespread blackouts exacerbated by dwindling oil reserves and US sanctions, and the US military has reportedly launched anti-narcotics operations in Ecuador
