A Chinese-owned fuel tanker has sailed through the Strait of Hormuz from the Persian Gulf, following a route that’s been used by other vessels with the approval of Iran. The Bright Gold left the Gulf on Monday morning via a channel between the Iranian islands of Qeshm and Larak, signaling that it had Chinese ownership. Two India-flagged gas carriers also used the route this week after New Delhi said it had discussed the safe passage of the ships with Tehran. Bright Gold, an MR2 tanker, had taken on around 2,700 tons of diesel via a ship-to-ship transfer about two weeks ago, Vortexa data show. The fuel was originally loaded from Ruwais in the United Arab Emirates early this month.

These include a small number of vessels with ties to Iran, China and Syria. Bright Gold is currently off the Omani port of Sohar, outside of the Strait. The ship’s manager, Daoying International Ship, and owner, GS Chemical Transportation Ltd., as listed on maritime database Equasis, did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment.

UK police probe possible Iran link after Jewish charity ambulances set on fire toggle caption Alberto Pezzali/AP LONDON — Four ambulances belonging to a Jewish charity were set on fire early Monday in London in what British police are investigating as an antisemitic hate crime. Detectives are working to determine whether a claim of responsibility from a group with alleged links to Iran is authentic. Though it has not been classified as a terrorist incident, counterterror officers have been put in charge of the investigation. No one was injured in the nighttime attack, which shattered windows in nearby homes and left the vehicles charred shells. "We are pursuing all lines of inquiry, including an online claim of responsibility by an Islamist group who have claimed other attacks across Europe and have potential Iranian state links," said Mark Rowley, chief of London's Metropolitan Police. Sponsor Message Religious and political leaders condemned what Prime Minister Keir Starmer called a "horrific" attack. "Antisemitism has no place in our society and it's really important that we all stand together at a moment like this," said Starmer, who met Jewish community leaders at 10 Downing St. on Monday to discuss the response to the attack. Officers were called to Golders Green, a north London neighborhood with a large Jewish population, after receiving reports of a fire, the Metropolitan Police force said. Four ambulances belonging to Hatzola Northwest, a volunteer organization that provides emergency medical response, were damaged, according to the London Fire Brigade. Oxygen cylinders on the vehicles exploded, breaking windows in an adjacent apartment block. Nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution. What appeared to be footage from a security camera showed three figures in black wearing hoods carrying a canister toward one of the ambulance before flames erupted around the vehicle. Police said they are looking for three suspects but no arrests have been made yet. Police...

By Wen-Yee Lee TAIPEI, March 24 (Reuters) - Chip designer Broadcom said it is seeing supply chain constraints, including capacity limits at its manufacturing partner TSMC, highlighting the ripple effects of soaring demand for AI chips on the broader tech industry. "We are seeing that TSMC is hitting (production capacity) limits," Natarajan Ramachandran, director of product marketing in Broadcom’s Physical Layer Products division, told reporters on Tuesday, adding he would have described TSMC's capacity as "infinite" until a few years ago. "They will be increasing the capacity to 2027, but that has become a bottleneck, or that has kind of choked the supply chain in 2026," he said. TSMC did not immediately reply to an emailed request for comment. The Taiwanese firm, the world's main producer of advanced AI chips, said in January that capacity was tight, as the boom in AI infrastructure buildout has soaked up much of its advanced production lines. The world's largest contract chipmaker, whose major customers also include Nvidia and Apple - also said at the time that it was working hard to narrow the gap between supply and demand. Broadcom's Ramachandran said supply constraints extend beyond chips to various tech supply chains. "Even though there are multiple suppliers in the industry today ... there is definitely a supply constraint in the laser space,” he said, adding that printed circuit boards (PCBs) had also emerged as an "unexpected" bottleneck. Ramachandran said both Taiwanese and Chinese PCB suppliers are facing capacity constraints, contributing to longer lead times. He did not name the suppliers. Many customers are now entering long-term agreements with suppliers to secure capacity commitments for as long as three to four years, he said. The trend was underscored by memory chipmaker Samsung Electronics, which said last week that it is working with major customers to shift to longer contracts of three-to-five years. The move reflects customer...

Olga Novikova/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. has officially banned the import of new foreign-made Wi-Fi routers, citing national security concerns. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) updated its “Covered List” to include foreign-made consumer routers. The restriction targets future models; existing stock and routers consumers already own can continue to be used and sold, avoiding an immediate hard cutoff for current users. The step marks a significant escalation in Washington’s efforts to secure its digital infrastructure and reduce reliance on overseas technology. The foreign-made routers introduce “a supply chain vulnerability that could disrupt the U.S. economy, critical infrastructure, and national defense” and pose “a severe cybersecurity risk that could be leveraged to immediately and severely disrupt US critical infrastructure,” the FCC said in a statement. The impact will extend beyond Chinese players such as TP-Link , affecting U.S.-headquartered firms as well.

The European Central Bank must be “very agile and vigilant” to keep prices in check as the Iran war brings stagflation risks closer, Governing Council member Boris Vujcic said. Vujcic — who’ll become ECB vice president in June — said officials are likely to know soon whether fallout from the fighting will require higher interest rates. He warned, though, that recent developments point to increasing dangers of elevated consumer-price growth accompanied by weak economic expansion. “We do not see stagflation but the risk is moving into the direction of stagflation,” the Croatian central-bank chief said in an interview in Zagreb. “How far we’ll get in that direction is very difficult to predict.” Policymakers including Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel have indicated that the ECB will need to consider raising borrowing costs at next month’s rate meeting as soaring energy costs start feeding into inflation. Vujcic is keeping an open mind. “It’s a long time in today’s world until April,” he said. “There’ll be a lot of new data and news” and “in such situations, everything is live.” New ECB projections have consumer prices up 2.6% in the euro area this year in a baseline scenario — far more than previously thought. In an extreme outcome where disruptions to oil and natural gas supplies persist, inflation would hit 6.3%. While “the option value of waiting a bit is high” right now, Vujcic said “we’re already departing from the baseline scenario toward worst-case scenarios.” He sees two options if the ECB decides higher borrowing costs are needed: Begin early and make successive small hikes, or begin a bit later and raise in larger increments. “It’s better to start with a smaller move and then follow what’s going on,” Vujcic said. “For the time being, I would say it’s too early to say, but we will soon know whether we will have to act or not,” he said. Markets foresee as many as three quarter-point increases in the deposit rate this year from its current level of 2%. Economi...

The S&P Global Australia Manufacturing PMI decreased to 50.1 in March 2026 from 51.0 in February, indicating nearly stable conditions in the sector. This change was due to a slight drop in output and the first decline in new orders since July 2024, although export demand rose sharply. The S&P Global Flash Australia Services PMI Business Activity Index fell to 46.6 in March from 52.8 in February, marking the first contraction in over two years. This decline was driven by a significant decrease in services activity and a drop in new business. Additionally, the S&P Global Flash Australia Composite PMI fell to 47.0 in March from 52.4 in February, signaling a contraction after eighteen months. The S&P/ASX 200 Index climbed 1.2% to 8,464 on Tuesday, snapping a three-session losing streak and rebounding from a ten-month low reached in the prior session. The Australian dollar weakened to around $0.69 on Tuesday, erasing gains from the previous session. Investors are now eyeing Wednesday’s inflation report for clues on the monetary policy outlook amid uncertainties stemming from ongoing Middle East tensions.
