捷克总理：捷克今年将无法达到国防开支占GDP比重2%的目标。

Qatar's foreign ministry summoned Iran's deputy ambassador and delivered a formal protest after a Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. Doha demanded Iran immediately cease actions that endanger regional security and threaten international shipping and global energy supplies, and said it reserves the right to take measures under international law to protect its interests. The démarche comes as security tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to escalate.

KOSPI extended losses, sliding as much as 6% intraday and falling over 20% from its June peak, putting the market on track for a technical bear. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix dropped about 7% and 5% respectively as investors reprice AI-driven demand. Leveraged ETFs amplified volatility. The chip sell-off persisted despite Samsung reporting quarterly profit up 19-fold this week, highlighting traders’ demand for more evidence that huge semiconductor supply‑chain capex is justified. Fidelity International portfolio manager Ian Samson said the volatility largely reflects fundamental uncertainty: strong AI-led chip demand is concentrated in roughly $1 trillion of capex by a handful of large tech firms, and if that spending proves unsustainable there is downside risk.
