1. Hegseth commits U.S. to blockade of Iranian ships in Hormuz
-- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. is stabilizing the Strait of Hormuz and will maintain an “ironclad” blockade of Iranian ships, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
-- A formal blockade posture turns the fragile truce into a maritime-control test, exposing commercial shipping and oil benchmarks to renewed escalation risk.
2. Romania's government falls after no-confidence vote
-- Romania’s minority government collapsed Tuesday after losing a no-confidence vote, with Bloomberg warning the turmoil could stall fiscal reforms.
-- The collapse creates a bond-market and EU fiscal-rule risk point as Bucharest tries to narrow a large deficit without a stable governing majority.
3. Russia curbs mobile internet before scaled-back Victory Day parade
-- Russia limited mobile internet access ahead of a reduced World War II victory parade, Reuters reported Tuesday.
-- Wartime connectivity controls show Moscow prioritizing drone and sabotage security over civilian service reliability during a symbolically important military event.
4. Coinbase plans 14% workforce cut
-- Coinbase will cut about 14% of its workforce, Reuters reported Tuesday.
-- Exchange layoffs point to margin pressure inside crypto businesses even with bitcoin above $81,000, keeping attention on fee revenue, compliance costs, and trading volumes.
5. Alphabet taps euro market for AI megabond financing
-- Alphabet is selling its largest euro-denominated bond and also tapping Canadian-dollar debt markets as it funds AI expansion, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
-- The AI buildout is moving deeper into global credit markets, making infrastructure spending more sensitive to rates, spreads, and investor appetite for mega-cap tech debt.
