The U.S. government on the first day of the week experienced a partial shutdown due to the failure by Congress to reach a budget compromise. The stalemate, fuelled by acute partisan discords on spending priorities, has put thousands of federal workers on furlough and halted various non-essential services. Critical activities, like military, air traffic control, and Social Security checks do not go down. Yet, federal courts and public programs have already been hit by closures. Economists caution that a protracted standoff would slow down growth and disrupt financial confidence. It is the first shutdown in nearly three years, highlighting the gridlock in Washington. President Joe Biden encouraged lawmakers to forge common ground since negotiations are still in limbo.

On Monday, a car bomb detonated outside the headquarters of the Frontier Constabulary in Quetta, killing at least eight people and injuring several other people. The blast that shook the city with vibrations left cars mangled and neighboring stores in a deplorable state. The security officials isolated the area as rescue workers hurriedly took the injured to hospitals. There is no group that has owned the attack, but the authorities believe that it could have been the Baloch Liberation Army that has already launched similar attacks in the area. The event highlights the deteriorating security conditions in Balochistan, where militants have attacked the law enforcement on numerous occasions. Law enforcement officials have declared an initial probe, promising to go on a hunt to capture the culprits behind the bombing.

In a rally in the capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, Muzaffarabad, at least one demonstrator was killed and another 25 wounded after gunfire erupted. The protest held under the leadership of Awami Action Committee sought lower electric charges, food subsidies, and suspension of some government allowances. The peaceful march turned out to be chaotic, with shots fired and people panicking, witnesses claimed. The Committee alleged that the security forces were shooting at civilians, and the local authorities were accusing armed elements of causing the violence. The government reacted by blocking mobile and internet services in the region to avert future upheavals.

New reports in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the Lower Dir district indicate that the Pakistani military has been executing precise strikes on Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) fighters. According to local media, the crackdown has greatly weakened the presence of TTP, and various militants have been neutralised or even forced to withdraw. Analysts indicate that the move might be attributed to the changing dynamics among the militant groups, as speculation goes on that space is being cleared to allow Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) activities to continue in the area. The military has not officially verified the information but termed the activities as being under its continuous counterterrorism policy. The development reflects the precarious security situation in north-western Pakistan, where militant extremist groups are still changing loyalties and evolving.

Today marks the second day of internet cutoff in Afghanistan. The censorship goes beyond political strategy and subtle antics—as Afghanistan blatantly cuts the fibre optic network altogether. The government began shutting down high-speed internet connections to some provinces earlier in the month to prevent “vice” on the orders of supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.

Asian markets closed higher today because gold prices shot to a record of $3,866.99 due to investor anxiety about a potential U.S. government shutdown. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index gained 0.3 percent, and Tokyo and Hong Kong experienced small gains. According to analysts, efforts to give hope of Federal Reserve rate cuts also contributed to boosting the region's sentiment. In the meantime, oil prices dropped, which provided a mixed tone to trading sessions. Investors are also on the lookout because Washington is going through another budget battle and both parties are unable to reach a compromise on spending. The surge in gold is being considered a safe-haven stampede, with traders insuring themselves against the political upheaval and economic doubt in the U.S.

As the review of Pakistan’s economic performance by Inter­n­ational Monetary Fund (IMF) mission led by Iva Petrova progresses the programme’s performance as of end-June 2025 — the period under review — is being thoroughly assessed. The start of the next review period, ending December this year, has also been off the mark, particularly in revenue collection. At the same time, while the government has asked the IMF to consider flood losses when evaluating programme performance, sources said the review is based on pre-flood targets. Therefore, the authorities will be held accountable for the end-June 2025 performance, although relaxations could be considered later based on verifiable estimates of flood damage.

The New York high-level debates by the UN General Assembly concluded with a bitter parting of ways on climate finance. Leaders of the developing countries urged the developed countries to fulfill their promise to reduce the amount of money they can spend per year on climate adaption claiming that the developed nations were stalling and leaving the vulnerable states to take the impact of the calamities. Various island countries complained that resilience funds commitments have not been fulfilled, and they are vulnerable to rising sea levels and hurricanes. The European and North American delegates responded by giving reiterations of commitment, but nothing new. It was observed that the outcome highlighted the increasing divide between the Global North and South, and cast doubt on effective progress before November and the COP30 meeting in Brazil.
