On 25 July, the international market service, Koppler, released information in social media that the 23-day traffic of vessels on the two key maritime routes in the Middle East had been divided, that traffic in the Straits of Hormuz had declined significantly and that traffic in the Straits of Mande had recovered between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. According to Koppler data, a total of six ships were completed in the Strait of Hormuz on 23 days, a 60 per cent decrease from the previous day. All but one of the vessels were passing through the channel established by Iran. At the same time, a total of 49 vessels were completed in transit in the Mande Channel on that day, up from the previous level. These include four ships that shut down the automatic identification system for ships for “dark voyages”. According to Koppler, some of the ships that had previously returned in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea due to security risks had resumed navigation and completed their traffic, but some of them continued to wait and see as they turned around. International shipping companies continue to assess the security situation in the region on an ongoing basis, and overall navigational activity is characterized by a “precautionary but selective resumption”.

Trump threatened to impose high tariffs on the European Union and demanded the removal of fines on United States enterprises

On July 25, United States President Trump: The European Union is here again and, as usual, directly against the great American enterprises! After the unjustified imposition of $15 billion in fines on apples, $3 billion in fines on Meta, $2.5 billion on Amazon and many other businesses, we have just learned that Google — a truly advanced and amazing enterprise — has been fined another $1 billion without any explanation. This brings Google to a total of more than $18 billion in fines. This illegal and highly discriminatory practice, which reached such a high level during the first year of the Bedden government, will not continue during the Trump administration. The United States is not Europe's ATM, and we will not allow it to be like this! It is hereby stated that we will immediately launch a 301 investigation into this “grabbing” of United States businesses to the detriment of United States taxpayers. The EU will pay a very high price for this illegal and immoral act, which I have always warned them not to do. These fines will be completely eliminated, while we expect to impose high tariffs on them in the shortest possible time。

On 25 July, Science Corp., an American start-up company, was authorized to sell a retinal chip in the European Union area that would help to restore partial vision to patients with “map atrophy” (GA).

SpaceX stock price drops or comes up with an opportunity for Morgan Stanley's analyst to look at its AI business valuation

On 25 July, Morgan Stanley Analyst stated that the sale of SpaceX stock had pushed its stock price to near a level that meant that investors valued their artificial intelligence operations at zero. The Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote in his report to the client on Friday: “We believe that there is a disconnect between the current growing pessimism of investors and the largely unchanged fundamentals of the company, which creates an attractive opportunity for investors to buy spaceX stock.” Jonas indicated that many investors expected that, with the first stock limitation period expiring next month, part of the insiders could sell their shares, and SpaceX would fall further to $100 per share. In his view, at this level, investors were in fact giving SpaceX a zero or even negative valuation of artificial intelligence operations. The analyst gave SpaceX equities a target price of $300, over 50 per cent of which was derived from the company ' s artificial intelligence operations。

On 25 July, United States President Trump, speaking at the White House on 24 July on the “exit strategy” for the Iranian war, stated that the United States had two options: to continue the current military operations and possibly to step up its efforts to gradually destroy Iran's military capabilities; and to negotiate an agreement.

At the same time, Trump stated that the United States was still negotiating with Iran, “as we speak, the two sides are talking”. (In Russian)
