• 🚢Houthis target US ships in the Red Sea
  Houthi militants ...
  Houthi militants struck a US-owned cargo ship with an antiballistic missile off the coast of Yemen yesterday. The US said that it caused neither major damage nor injuries, and the ship, the M/V Gibraltar Eagle, kept on going. The attack came after the US and UK targeted the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen in response to their attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. The continued escalation has raised fears of a broader regional war, as the Houthis claim their actions are in support of Hamas in its war with Israel, and their attacks on ships have already begun to impact global supply chains.

  Because of the Martin Luther King Junior federal holiday, no oil trading closing prices were reported in the U.S. However, prices weakened slightly on Monday because of the impact of the Middle East conflict.

• 🇹🇼Tensions expected to rise following Taiwan’s election.
  On Saturday, Taiwan ...
  On Saturday, Taiwan elected Lai Ching-te as its president—the third consecutive victory for the Democratic Progressive Party and a decision that will rankle officials in Beijing, who have called Lai a “troublemaker.” In response to Lai’s election, China, which claims the self-governing island as its own territory, is likely to ramp up the military pressure and enact trade restrictions against Taiwan to get it to back off notions of independence, analysts told Axios. Taiwan ally President Biden appeared to attempt to placate China by telling reporters Saturday that the US does not support Taiwan’s independence. Though it’s a remote possibility (for now), a full-scale invasion of Taiwan by China would have a $10 trillion impact on global GDP, Bloomberg estimated.
