Wang Yi, a member of the CPC Central Politburo and director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, told a BRICS senior security representatives' meeting in New Delhi that a recent first‑stage memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, following a conflict lasting more than 100 days, severely disrupted regional and international stability and offers key lessons. He said crisis resolution must be premised on adherence to international rules, noting that 'jungle law' may succeed briefly but is unsustainable; respect for state sovereignty — territorial integrity and non‑interference — is a basic international bottom line. He urged a new security concept, warning that states are increasingly interdependent and that pursuing absolute security at others' expense will backfire. He also highlighted that recent conflicts have made information and cyber warfare more overt, with traditional and non‑traditional threats now intertwined, and said BRICS should strengthen security dialogue and cooperation.

South Korea’s KOSPI plunged 9.99% on Tuesday, the largest one-day drop in three months, after foreign investors sold following a regulator signal that the chip sector was overheating. CLSA chief equity strategist Alexander Redman said the move exposed heightened volatility driven by heavy retail participation and margin use, warning volatility "has gone out of control" and noting regulator-approved leveraged single-stock ETFs have amplified risks. South Korea’s market regulator acknowledged it was too hasty approving leveraged funds tied to major chip names launched last month and warned retail investors against using leverage as margin debt and financing to buy stocks hit a record high in June.
