1. U.S. jobs report expected to show labor resilience after Iran energy shock
-- Bloomberg says the next U.S. jobs report is expected to show the labor market has not yet registered clear damage from the Iran-war energy shock.
-- A steady payroll print would narrow the case for near-term Fed easing even as oil at $108 keeps inflation and consumer-margin risks elevated.
2. Morocco names crown prince to key army role
-- King Mohammed VI appointed Morocco's crown prince to a senior army position, Bloomberg reported, marking a step in his preparation for eventual succession.
-- The move gives Rabat's succession planning a clearer military dimension as Morocco manages Western Sahara tensions, European migration deals, and regional security partnerships.
3. Cuba sanctions threaten remaining foreign business lifelines
-- Bloomberg says new U.S. sanctions on Cuba could push international companies off the island as Washington escalates economic pressure on Havana.
-- A broader corporate pullback would deepen Cuba's hard-currency squeeze and raise compliance risk for banks, shippers, and tourism operators still touching the market.
4. House bill targets federal funding for online censorship programs
-- Reclaim the Net reports that a House bill would cut federal funds for online censorship efforts, adding another front to the U.S. fight over government influence on platform moderation.
-- Civil-liberties groups, agencies, and contractors would face a new legal boundary for speech-monitoring work, changing how moderation pressure is routed to platforms.
5. Tether profit reaches $1 billion as reserves hit $191.7 billion
-- Blockspace Media reports that Tether posted $1 billion in first-quarter profit and said reserves reached $191.7 billion.
-- The scale keeps stablecoin collateral, Treasury-market exposure, and issuer transparency central to crypto-policy debates as dollar tokens expand beyond trading venues.
