ME News reports that Telegram founder Durov questioned the design conspiracy of the EU's newly launched "Age Verification App" on his personal channel, claiming it was cracked within 2 minutes of release, implying that bureaucrats deliberately created vulnerabilities first and then removed privacy protections under the guise of "enhancing security," thereby turning it into a surveillance tool for all social media users across Europe. Durov warned users to stay vigilant, expressing concern that this move could serve as an excuse for comprehensive surveillance.

ME News reports that oil prices and inflation concerns have pushed up U.S. Treasury yields, with the 10-year reaching 4.58%, the highest since 2007, and the 30-year also rising.
If maintained until the end of this fiscal year, interest expenses will increase by about $8 billion; if extended to the 2027 fiscal year, it will exceed $30 billion.
Market concerns over inflation and expanding deficits have triggered bond sell-offs, with the Federal Reserve's response seen as insufficient, and bond vigilantes reemerging.

ME News reports that on May 15th, the US dollar strengthened, with the dollar index rising over 1% this week, potentially marking the best weekly performance in two months.

Mars Finance News, May 21 — According to market sources, the United States has granted a license allowing a major ship scrap buyer to purchase four ships that were sanctioned for transporting cargo related to Iran.

ME News Report, May 15th (UTC+8), Friday, Asian emerging market stocks declined sharply, oil prices surged, and limited progress in US-Iran peace negotiations heightened market concerns over inflation and economic outlook uncertainties. The MSCI Emerging Asia Stock Index fell more than 1.7%, with South Korea's KOSPI index's plunge being a major drag, dropping over 5%, triggering a "circuit breaker" for sellers, which caused the automatic trading system to pause for five minutes. Song Zhe, Senior Investment Specialist in Asian and Global Emerging Market Equities at BNP Paribas Asset Management, said: "We believe that today's market downward pressure is more due to the market digesting the profit-taking from the strong rebound since April, rather than a decisive shift in market sentiment into a full 'risk-averse mode'." "Previously, market positions had become relatively ample, leading to some profit-taking."
