1. Congo Ebola outbreak surpasses 6,000 cases
-- Congolese authorities reported 6,000-plus cases and 2,911 deaths in the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record, with the virus spreading into two additional health zones last week.
-- Insecurity, displacement and a health-worker strike are obstructing containment, increasing regional security risk and cross-border exposure because the rare Bundibugyo strain has no approved vaccine or treatment.
2. EU subjects ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox to stricter platform rules
-- The European Commission designated the three services under the Digital Services Act after each exceeded 45 million average monthly users in the bloc.
-- The designation increases compliance and legal exposure: the companies must assess and mitigate systemic risks involving illegal content, minors and mental health, with ChatGPT the first AI chatbot covered.
3. US 10-year Treasury yield crosses 4.75%
-- The benchmark yield reached its highest level since January 2025 as higher oil prices strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise rates.
-- Costlier long-term financing tightens conditions for households and businesses, while the renewed rate pressure challenges valuations across equities, gold and Bitcoin.
4. Meta removes malware ads after India flags banking threat
-- Meta removed dozens of Facebook and Instagram ads that used explicit content to steer users toward Android malware capable of stealing banking credentials and draining accounts.
-- The campaign exploited installation outside official app stores and access to one-time passwords and PINs, creating direct financial risk for users and new scrutiny of platform ad screening.
5. Pentagon signs seven-year agreements to expand missile output
-- The Pentagon signed long-term production agreements intended to increase US missile manufacturing capacity, Reuters reported Monday.
-- Multi-year commitments strengthen the defense supply chain by giving suppliers firmer demand signals for plant and workforce investment as active conflicts strain inventories.
