1. U.S. sanctions China refinery and shippers over Iranian oil
-- AP reports Treasury imposed sanctions on a China-based refinery and 40 shipping entities tied to Iranian oil flows.
-- The move widens pressure on Iran's export network while the war keeps energy markets tight and raises enforcement risk for Chinese-linked maritime trade.
2. Energy currencies gain as Iran war reshapes oil markets
-- Bloomberg reports Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan and Pioneer Investments favor energy-linked currencies as the U.S.-Iran conflict alters oil-market expectations.
-- Persistent Hormuz disruption is turning commodity exposure into a macro trade, linking currency moves more directly to war-risk pricing.
3. Iran foreign minister meets Putin as U.S. talks stall
-- Bloomberg reports Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met President Vladimir Putin while talks with Washington on ending the eight-week war remain at a stalemate.
-- Tehran's outreach to Moscow signals diplomatic hedging as the conflict strains oil supply, sanctions policy and regional security channels.
4. Supreme Court reinstates pro-Republican Texas voting map
-- Reuters reports the U.S. Supreme Court formally reinstated a Texas voting map favorable to Republicans.
-- The ruling resets a major electoral battleground and underscores how court decisions are shaping the rules ahead of the next federal vote.
5. Banks launch $2 billion BASF coatings loan sale for buyout
-- Bloomberg reports banks began selling more than $2 billion of debt for the buyout of BASF's auto paint and finishing division.
-- The financing tests investor appetite for leveraged industrial deals while high rates and uneven chemical-sector demand keep credit conditions selective.
