CENTCOM said at the direction of the US president, US forces have begun further strikes on Iranian targets to degrade Iran’s ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The statement said Iran recently carried out “unjustified attacks” on commercial vessels and civilian mariners in the waterway and that the US will hold those responsible accountable.

Rising memory and other component costs have driven up consumer electronics prices, lifting mainstream business laptop prices by more than 1,000 yuan year-to-date. Value office notebooks that once sold for about 3,000–4,000 yuan are thinning; mainstream thin‑and‑light models in the 3,500–4,500 yuan band have broadly increased. Gaming laptops with high‑performance CPUs and discrete GPUs have been hit hardest, with some flagship models up over 40%. Models that were around 3,000 yuan are migrating to the 3,500–4,000+ yuan range, and many mainstream office notebooks priced near 3,500 yuan last year now exceed 4,000 yuan. Industry sources say core component supply‑demand tightness is unlikely to improve materially in the near term, keeping PC prices elevated and increasing the risk that sub‑3,000‑yuan high‑value office models will continue to disappear while thin‑and‑light price bands move higher.
