Student Loan Payments Are Spiking: What Changed On July 1 And What Borrowers Over 50 Should Do
Authored by Adam H. Douglas via The Epoch Times,
If you carry federal student loans, July 1, 2026, redrew your map. With last year's tax law changes taking effect on that date, the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan was dismantled, and servicers began notifying millions of borrowers to pick a new repayment plan or have one picked for them.
The end of the SAVE plan could raise your student loan payments unless you act before your 90-day deadline. zimmytws/shutterstock

Iran Insists US Must Meet Stringent List Of Demands Before Hormuz Opens
As expected, Iran is pressing hard to extract from Washington everything it can get - at a moment the Trump White House seems to be backing down from a heighted war over the Strait of Hormuz, given the serious risk of settling into a another years-long quagmire in the Middle East.
The US administration, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has appeared to back the Iran-Oman deal for the opening of the Strait, with President Trump and his officials having remained surprisingly quiet even as it has emerged that the deal outline is wholly favorable to Tehran's conditions.
For example, as we've detailed Iran announced Friday that under the 'finalized' Oman-Iran scheme and 'deal' for management of the Hormuz Strait that "enemy countries" (read: US and Israel) may only transit the waterway after lifting sanctions and paying compensation for the war. US and Israeli-linked ships are currently banned and will be fired upon, Iran has warned.
How The UAE Has Kept Its Oil Flowing Through Hormuz
By Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com
The United Arab Emirates has managed to boost its oil exports to pre-crisis levels as early as June, as it has kept pushing crude through the Strait of Hormuz and outside it.
The UAE, which left OPEC on May 1, has found workarounds to the blockage at the Strait of Hormuz. It has been shuttling crude through the chokepoint to load it on larger vessels outside the Strait, maximizing the use of its onshore pipeline to ship crude from the west to the east of the country, bypassing Hormuz, and shipping tankers through the Strait in dark mode.
The UAE has managed to ship over June and July the most crude oil out of the Strait of Hormuz than any other Gulf producer, according to vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
The UAE has also issued an unprecedented number of tenders to sell cargoes of millions of barrels of crude oil in recent weeks.
At the end of July, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company ADNOC issued its seventh tender offering crude from the United Arab Emirates since the beginning of June, expecting to sell millions of barrels of oil between August and October, both from within and outside the Persian Gulf.

Rewritten: Physical AI's hardware stack for humanoids explored.
The burgeoning development of physical AI, particularly within humanoid robotics, signals a significant technological inflection point with broad market implications. This advancement necessitates substantial investment in specialized hardware, from advanced processors and sensors to novel actuators and power systems, creating opportunities for companies across the semiconductor, materials science, and manufacturing sectors. The tangible progress in AI's physical embodiment can foster a more optimistic market sentiment, shifting focus from purely digital applications to real-world utility and productivity gains. This aligns with macro themes of automation, labor efficiency, and the ongoing digital transformation, potentially boosting investor confidence in sectors poised to benefit from this hardware revolution. Consequently, a heightened perception of innovation and future growth could encourage greater risk appetite for companies at the forefront of this hardware-intensive AI evolution.

Escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, evidenced by ADNOC's report of fifteen vessel attacks, introduce significant volatility into global energy markets. This heightened risk premium directly impacts oil prices, potentially fueling inflationary pressures and complicating central bank efforts to manage economic stability. Such geopolitical instability invariably dampens investor sentiment, fostering a more risk-averse environment as market participants reassess their exposure to regions prone to conflict. The situation underscores the persistent vulnerability of critical supply routes to geopolitical shocks, a macro theme that continues to challenge long-term investment strategies and necessitates a careful evaluation of portfolio resilience against unforeseen disruptions. Consequently, investor confidence may waver, leading to a reduced appetite for assets perceived as more exposed to such geopolitical uncertainties.
