1. Iran renews retaliation warning as oil stays near wartime highs
-- Reuters reported Iran threatened a painful response if the U.S. resumes attacks, while crude retreated after touching a four-year high on escalation risk.
-- The warning keeps Hormuz and energy supply at the center of the war premium: even with prices off the peak, markets remain exposed to any shift from coercive blockade to direct military action.

2. U.S. House moves to end DHS shutdown before airport pay shock
-- Bloomberg reported the House passed funding for most of the Department of Homeland Security, days before missed TSA paychecks threatened airport disruption.
-- The vote narrows an immediate infrastructure risk, but it also shows how quickly budget brinkmanship can spill into border, travel and security operations.

3. Tennessee redistricting push follows Supreme Court map ruling
-- Bloomberg reported President Trump said Tennessee will redraw its House map after a Supreme Court decision, a move expected to strengthen Republicans before the midterms.
-- The announcement extends the post-ruling redistricting fight into another state, raising the stakes for House control and likely triggering fresh legal challenges.

4. Kalshi limits crop-contract trading after agriculture pushback
-- Bloomberg reported Kalshi agreed to restrict trading hours for new contracts tied to crops such as corn and wheat after objections from agriculture groups and derivatives exchanges.
-- The concession is an early boundary test for event-market expansion into commodity-linked risk, where prediction-market access collides with established hedging and price-discovery regimes.

5. KKR readies $10 billion AI infrastructure company
-- Bloomberg reported KKR has secured more than $10 billion for a new AI infrastructure firm led by a former Amazon Web Services chief.
-- The deal shows private capital is moving AI buildout beyond software valuations and into power, data-center and compute infrastructure, intensifying pressure on energy and credit markets.
