1. Fed expected to hold rates as Warsh transition tests cut pressure
-- Bloomberg reported markets expect the Federal Reserve to hold rates before Kevin Warsh takes over from Jerome Powell, despite White House pressure for faster easing.
-- The rate path remains constrained by war-driven energy costs and inflation risk, limiting how quickly political pressure can translate into monetary relief.
2. Trump approval falls as Iran war feeds cost-of-living concerns
-- A Reuters/Ipsos poll found President Trump's approval at a new low, with voters increasingly tying the Iran war to household cost pressures.
-- The political cost of the conflict is shifting from foreign-policy risk to domestic inflation, raising stakes for any negotiated exit or escalation.
3. Booking guidance misses as Middle East conflict hits travel demand
-- Booking Holdings issued weaker second-quarter revenue guidance, citing expected travel-demand pressure from the Middle East conflict through June.
-- The warning shows the war's economic spillover moving beyond energy into consumer services and discretionary spending.
4. Kone nears €29 billion deal for TK Elevator
-- Bloomberg reported Finland's Kone is close to a cash-and-stock acquisition of TK Elevator in a deal that would rank among Europe's largest private-equity exits.
-- A transaction of that size would test financing appetite in Europe while reshaping a concentrated global elevator market.
5. Mexico credits U.S. intelligence in cartel boss capture
-- Mexican officials said U.S. intelligence helped locate an alleged cartel leader with a $5 million bounty, while emphasizing no foreign agents operated on the ground.
-- The case signals continued security cooperation despite sovereignty sensitivities and a harder U.S. posture toward cross-border criminal networks.
