A New Diplomatic Front in the Eastern Mediterranean, Fragile Balance in Global Markets
Libya’s House of Representatives unanimously approved the 2019 maritime delimitation agreement with Türkiye and reversed its previous decisions rejecting the deal. The European Union challenged the agreement’s validity and reaffirmed its support for Greece and Cyprus, bringing tensions over Eastern Mediterranean maritime boundaries back into focus.
Washington’s demand that federal civilian agencies remove China’s DeepSeek AI products from their systems underscores how US–China rivalry is expanding into data security and public digital infrastructure, raising the risk of further technology restrictions and retaliation.
Asian markets rebounded following the previous session’s sharp losses. South Korea’s Kospi rose approximately 4%, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 gained 1.3%. However, concerns over the cost of AI investment and the future profitability of technology companies remain.
Diplomatic contacts between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US envoy Steve Witkoff in Oslo kept communication channels open, but major differences over the conditions for a potential settlement remain unresolved.
Global markets continue to navigate geopolitical risks, energy costs and uncertain growth prospects. Brent crude approached $112 per barrel before retreating, highlighting persistent volatility in energy markets. Elevated energy prices could complicate efforts to curb inflation, constrain central banks’ policy choices and affect global financing conditions.
