1. Iran-linked tankers reverse course as US enforces blockade
-- Two sanctioned tankers carrying Iranian energy exports made U-turns and zig-zagged in the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea as the United States enforced its blockade, Bloomberg reported.
-- Evasive vessel movements signal mounting disruption to Iranian exports and raise the risk that enforcement actions spill into commercial shipping routes.
2. Taiwan stocks near correction as TSMC spending worries deepen
-- Taiwan's equity market fell toward a technical correction after TSMC's results intensified concern over heavy capital spending and weaker profitability.
-- A sustained retreat would tighten financing conditions across the island's semiconductor supply chain and test valuations built on continued AI demand.
3. Japan changes royal succession rules but retains ban on female emperors
-- Japan relaxed parts of its imperial succession framework while preserving the rule that bars women from ascending the throne, according to multiple reports.
-- The policy compromise may reduce immediate constitutional pressure, but the shrinking pool of eligible heirs leaves Japan exposed to another politically difficult succession debate.
4. Windows identifier may enable tracking beyond VPN protections
-- Reclaim the Net reported that Microsoft embeds a device identifier in Windows computers that remains visible despite use of a VPN.
-- A hardware-linked or operating-system-level marker can let services correlate activity across network addresses, limiting the privacy protection users expect from IP masking.
