Middle East Oil Shock Watch: Trump said he paused an Iran strike plan after Gulf allies urged more time for talks, easing markets even as Brent stayed above $100 and investors kept one eye on inflation and rising bond yields. Local Markets: Hong Kong shares held up modestly while regional sentiment stayed fragile, with crude-price pressure still weighing on risk appetite. Hong Kong Business & Policy: Our Hong Kong Foundation urged the city to move from hydrogen pilots to real adoption, including heavy-vehicle refuelling in container terminals and industrial zones, as Hong Kong pushes carbon-neutral targets. Transport & Trade: Kazakhstan’s rail operator KTZ is building a Caspian/Black Sea fleet and plans cargo jets to strengthen the Middle Corridor. Finance & Jobs: Standard Chartered flagged AI-driven cuts of about 7,800 support roles by 2030, a fresh signal of automation reshaping banking back offices. Tech & Startups: Deep Robotics’ Shanghai IPO filing was accepted, while Wav.Tech rolled out a mobile watch-authentication tool amid rising counterfeit risk.
