The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the 3rd confirmed Michigan reported two deaths linked to Cyclospora; both patients had serious underlying conditions. These are the first Cyclospora-related fatalities reported since the US outbreak began spreading in May.

Three people said India’s market regulator plans to relax disclosure requirements for overseas funds classified as "high-risk." The 2023 rules, introduced to curb concentrated holdings in Indian listed companies, spawned investor complaints and legal challenges; proposed adjustments aim to fix those unintended consequences. Expanded exemptions would give funds more time to disclose investor identities, easing entry for thematic funds. Foreign investors have posted record net sales of $26.88bn of Indian assets since the start of 2026. Under current rules a "high-risk" fund is one with over 50% of its India assets invested in the same corporate group; that threshold drew complaints from Asian and US investor associations and legal challenges, prompting the review. "Regulators are focusing on addressing pain points and attracting long-term overseas capital," one source said.

U.S. sources on the 3rd, citing Iranian and U.S. officials, said Iran and Oman are close to an agreement on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Under the draft, vessels entering the Persian Gulf would use an Iran-controlled lane near Iran’s coast while outbound ships would use a lane near Oman, and multiple Iranian officials said transiting vessels would pay a "service fee" to be split between Iran and Oman. A U.S. official familiar with the talks said Iran’s description was inaccurate and that any temporary lane in the Strait would not require Iranian approval and would not impose charges on passing ships.
