Important World News

• Strait of Hormuz risk remains elevated: Reuters reports that a proposed passage arrangement is not currently workable for the shipping industry as the Iran conflict continues. This matters because prolonged disruption could affect oil prices, shipping, and inflation. Reuters
• Gaza tensions intensified: Regional governments condemned new Israeli strikes, while Israel said it was responding to Hamas. The escalation increases humanitarian and regional-security risks. Reuters
• Ukraine expanded strikes inside Russia: Ukrainian attacks reportedly hit additional Russian oil facilities, adding pressure to energy infrastructure and potentially affecting the war’s economic dimension. AP coverage

Important Philippine News

• Maymay and the Habagat remain the immediate practical concern: Tropical Depression Maymay moved over the Philippine Sea, while bad weather prompted transport disruptions and class suspensions, including all levels in Manila today. Check local advisories before travel. ABS-CBN
• Philippine inflation eased in July: The government said price pressures moderated, though it remains alert to weather and external shocks. That is encouraging for household costs, but storm damage and global energy risks could reverse some gains. PTV News
• The US formally requested Apollo Quiboloy’s extradition: The request concerns sex-related criminal charges and begins a potentially consequential Philippine legal and diplomatic process. Inquirer

Oklahoma City Thunder

Chet Holmgren addressed Oklahoma City’s offseason departures as part of the “business of this game,” while separately expressing trust in the organization amid the roster changes. Takeaway: there is no major game or injury update; the meaningful storyline is how the defending core adapts to offseason turnover before the 2026–27 season. ESPN

Suggested Moves
