On July 17, 2025, during a patrol mission in the Red Sea, Yemeni security forces intercepted a cargo ship flying the Liberian flag, carrying 750 tons of weapons that caused a global shock. According to the on-site video and list released by the Yemeni authorities, this batch of weapons includes advanced equipment such as naval missile systems, air defense radars, attack drones, and anti armor missiles. Some of the weapons’ Persian language manuals and Iranian Ministry of Defense affiliated enterprise logos directly point to their sources. Tariq Saleh, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, explicitly stated in a statement that these weapons are “starting from Iran and aimed directly at the Houthi armed forces”, and emphasized that their tactical value far exceeds the needs of the Yemeni civil war, implying that they may be used in broader regional conflicts.

Market risk aversion and policy games intertwined, and short-term fluctuations in gold intensified.

Affected by this, the Nikkei 225 index of the Tokyo stock market fell by 1.2% on July 8th, and the stock prices of Toyota, Honda and other car companies fell by more than 4%.
