Thomas Barwick Amazon Web Services ( AMZN ) on Monday said that ongoing Middle East conflict has physically damaged infrastructure in its UAE and Bahrain regions after drone strikes hit or struck near multiple facilities, causing structural damage and power disruptions. The company said in some cases it required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage. "In the ME-CENTRAL-1 (UAE) Region, two of our three Availability Zones (mec1-az2 and mec1-az3) remain significantly impaired," the company said in a status update . The third Availability Zone (mec1-az1) continues to operate normally, though some services have experienced indirect impact due to dependencies on the affected zones. "In the ME-SOUTH-1 (Bahrain) Region, one facility has been impacted. Across both regions, customers are experiencing elevated error rates and degraded availability for services including Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon RDS, and the AWS Management Console and CLI." AWS said it was working to restore full-service availability as quickly as possible, though it expects recovery to be prolonged given the nature of the physical damage involved.

Find your next quality investment with Simply Wall St's easy and powerful screener, trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Alphabet (GOOGL) is back in the spotlight after fresh headlines around its AI heavy capital spending plans and growing institutional interest, while regulatory and geopolitical risks continue to keep short term sentiment in flux. See our latest analysis for Alphabet. At a share price of US$306.52, Alphabet has seen some pressure in recent weeks, with a 30 day share price return of 9.31% and year to date share price return of 2.74% in the red, even as headlines focus on AI heavy capital spending, fresh power deals for data centers, and ongoing antitrust litigation. That contrasts sharply with its 1 year total shareholder return of 80.04% and 3 year total shareholder return of about 2.3x. This points to strong longer term momentum even while short term sentiment adjusts to higher investment and rising regulatory and geopolitical risk. If Alphabet’s AI push has caught your attention, you may want to look across the sector and see which other names stand out in our screener of 35 AI infrastructure stocks. With Alphabet trading at US$306.52, sitting on an implied 10% intrinsic discount and roughly 23% below the average analyst target of US$376.86, is the recent pullback a genuine entry point, or is the market already baking in years of AI driven growth? Most Popular Narrative: 29.1% Overvalued According to the most followed narrative, Alphabet’s fair value sits at $237.43, which is well below the last close at $306.52, and that gap is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the story. Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, stands as a cornerstone of the tech world, leading in search, digital advertising, AI, and cloud computing. Despite its dominance and innovation, Alphabet is currently the cheapest stock among the “Magnificent 7” (the seven largest U.S. tech companies by market capitalization). This relative undervaluation, combine...

As the US and Israel opened a new chapter of chaos in the Middle East, China stands to benefit from a Washington establishment that does not have the political or physical resources to focus on Asia. Officially, China has condemned the attacks. Wang Yi, the foreign minister, called them “unacceptable” and called for a ceasefire, rhetoric that is typical of Beijing in response to Donald Trump’s increasingly erratic foreign policy moves. Wang made similar comments after the US capture of the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, in January. The Chinese government wastes no opportunity to present itself as the defender of international laws and stability, although it provides little material support to smaller partners in the crosshairs of the US president’s latest furies. But, aside from the chance to score diplomatic points, Trump’s decision to embark on a war against Iran that is already widening into a regional conflict creates a space for China to once more leverage its critical mineral dominance, particularly in the area of defence, and places the issue of Taiwan on an increasingly long list of concerns for the US. However, the strikes on Iran do pose some risk to China, especially when it comes to oil. China is thought to buy about 80% of Iran’s shipped oil. That accounts for about 13% of China’s seaborne imports, although grasping the true scale of China’s Iranian oil imports is difficult because much of it is labelled as originating from Indonesia or Malaysia to avoid US sanctions. Losing cheap oil from Iran would be a blow to China, although a manageable one. But it is barely two months since the US in effect took control of Venezuela’s oil industry, another, albeit much smaller, source of cheap supply for China. According to an analysis by Erica Downs, a senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, more than a fifth of China’s oil imports in 2025 came from sources, including Venezuela, Iran and Russia, that had been p...

One of Taiwan’s largest pension funds is considering tapping asset managers to help it invest in markets abroad, less than a year after it last gave such mandates, according to people familiar with the matter. The Bureau of Labor Funds , which manages NT$7.79 trillion ($247 billion), plans to invite asset managers to pitch their services in coming months, the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. It’s weighing giving two mandates, including to invest in listed infrastructure equities and indexed fixed-income strategies, the people said. The process is ongoing and the plans could change. A representative for Bureau of Labor Funds declined to comment. The pension fund regularly invests offshore. It most recently chose four firms to each manage $400 million abroad last June, including a unit of BlackRock Inc. Over the years, the pension has given multiple mandates to invest in listed infrastructure equities totaling more than $5 billion, according to calculations based on its disclosure. Bureau of Labor Funds recorded investment gains of $35 billion in 2025, its best annual performance ever, bolstered by gains in Taiwan’s stock market.
