Remember when everyone said Fannie & Freddie buying $200B of MBS was going to send the housing market into another frenzy? Yeah. Mortgage rates are 6.75%. Turns out you can’t print affordability.

🇮🇷 Iran just played 6D chess with the UAE 🇦🇪 The UAE went around asking Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Gulf countries to team up for a military response against Iran. They literally kicked the UAE official out of the room. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed personally called MBS and other leaders. Nobody picked up. UAE ended up completely alone. All of this happened because Iran has strategic relationships with all those countries. What an embarrassing moment for Trump's puppet.

BREAKING: Japanese investors sold -$29.6 billion in US Treasuries, agency, and local authority debt in Q1 2026, the largest quarterly sale since Q2 2022. This marks the first quarterly outflow since Q4 2024 and follows 11 quarters of purchases of the last 12. Agency debt includes mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and bonds from government-sponsored entities, while local authority debt includes municipal bonds issued by US states, cities, and local governments. This comes as rising interest rate expectations, driven by a rebound in inflation, weighed on bond prices and prompted Japanese investors to cut US bond holdings. Japan is the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries, at $1.24 trillion, ahead of the UK, at $897 billion, and China, at $693 billion. Japanese investors are aggressively dumping US bonds.

France opened a formal judicial investigation into the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi, appointing a judge from its crimes against humanity unit to probe Mohammed bin Salman's alleged role directly. Seven years after a Washington Post columnist was dismembered inside a Saudi consulate, this is the first time a French court has formally put MBS in the frame. Saudi Arabia has not commented, which is the only response available to a crown prince who cannot set foot in France without risking arrest.
