⌨

The day's dominant story was the apparent de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz. In the morning, Yahoo Japan reported 10 civilian sailors killed in the strait, but by late evening, Trump announced a temporary suspension of ship guidance operations, claiming a 'big breakthrough' and that a one-page memorandum to end hostilities was near. The US defense secretary earlier said the ceasefire was maintained. Meanwhile, the Kyoto boy murder case escalated: the adoptive father was re-arrested on murder charges, admitting to strangling the boy in a public toilet. The Ban-etsu Expressway bus crash dominated afternoon coverage, with a high school student killed and 26 injured. Other stories included Honda shelving its $11bn Canada EV plant, and the yen's sharp intraday surge.
