Red Sea shipping routes face renewed disruption

What is happening

Two major logistics carriers announced a suspension of Red Sea transits this morning following fresh security incidents near the Bab el-Mandeb strait.

Why it matters

Rerouting around Africa adds 10 days to delivery times. This is the third consecutive week of elevated risk, signaling a structural rather than temporary shift in global trade lanes.

Choke Point Analysis:
Only 40% of normal traffic is passing through Suez. The alternative Cape of Good Hope route increases fuel costs by ~$1M per voyage.

EU AI Act enters enforcement phase

The Shift

As of today, EU regulators have begun enforcing transparency requirements for "General Purpose AI" models. US tech giants must now disclose training data summaries to operate in Europe.

Global Impact

This creates a "Brussels Effect," forcing companies to either split their products regionally or adopt EU standards globally. Most are choosing the latter.

Risk Pyramid:
1. Unacceptable Risk (Banned)
2. High Risk (Strict Audit)
3. Limited Risk (Transparency)
4. Minimal Risk (No restrictions)
