1. Ukraine parliament confirms Koretskyi as prime minister
-- Lawmakers approved the former energy executive as prime minister Thursday after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy nominated him to replace the outgoing government chief.
-- The confirmation completes a leadership transition amid wartime pressure on Kyiv's energy system and puts an industry operator in charge of economic and reconstruction policy.
2. Genoa bridge-collapse trial ends with 32 convictions
-- An Italian court convicted 32 defendants over the 2018 Morandi Bridge collapse that killed 43 people, with the former motorway operator chief receiving a 12-year sentence.
-- The verdict establishes personal criminal liability at the top of a major infrastructure operator and may sharpen scrutiny of maintenance decisions across Europe's aging transport networks.
3. 23andMe agrees to $18 million genetics-data settlement
-- The genetic-testing company agreed to pay $18 million to resolve claims by 43 state attorneys general that it failed to protect customers' genetic data.
-- The multistate deal attaches a direct financial cost to weak privacy safeguards for uniquely sensitive biological records, increasing legal exposure for consumer DNA and health-data firms.
4. South Korea tightens access to leveraged ETFs
-- South Korea's financial regulator raised the minimum deposit required to trade leveraged exchange-traded funds after sharp swings in the products.
-- Higher entry requirements will curb retail access to amplified market exposure and could shift speculative flows toward unleveraged funds or offshore alternatives.
5. SEC proposes broader electronic delivery of investor disclosures
-- The Securities and Exchange Commission proposed Regulation E-Delivery, allowing issuers, broker-dealers and investment advisers wider use of electronic delivery to satisfy disclosure obligations.
-- Defaulting more communications to digital channels could reduce compliance and distribution costs, but the policy may leave investors without reliable online access at greater risk of missing time-sensitive disclosures.
