South Korea's employment growth slowed significantly in April, according to data released by Statistics Korea on Wednesday. The report indicated that the number of new jobs added in April was only 74,000, marking the weakest performance since December 2024, when there was a year-on-year decrease of 52,000 jobs. This slowdown comes in the wake of rising oil prices due to Middle East conflicts, which have dampened consumer confidence. In February and March, job additions remained in the 200,000 range. The unemployment rate in April stood at 2.9%, unchanged from the same period last year. The number of unemployed individuals was 853,000, a decrease of 2,000 compared to the previous year. According to Jin10, employment in the healthcare and social welfare services sector increased by 261,000 year-on-year, while the arts, sports, and leisure-related services sector saw an increase of 54,000 jobs. The real estate sector added 49,000 jobs. Conversely, the scientific and technical services sector experienced a record decline in employment, with a reduction of 115,000 jobs, attributed to the base effect from strong employment growth in previous years. The manufacturing sector also saw a decrease of 55,000 jobs. Statistics Korea noted that the scientific and technical services sector's employment decline was the largest since it was separately categorized in 2013.

South Korea's unemployment rate for April was reported at 2.8%, according to Jin10. This figure is slightly higher than the expected rate of 2.7% and matches the previous rate of 2.70%.

Jho Low, the Malaysian financier accused of orchestrating a massive financial fraud, has reportedly sought a pardon from U.S. President Donald Trump. Bloomberg posted on X that Low, who is considered a fugitive by U.S. authorities, is alleged to have played a central role in the 1MDB scandal, one of the largest financial frauds in history. The scandal involved the misappropriation of billions of dollars from a Malaysian state investment fund, leading to investigations in multiple countries. Low's request for a pardon comes amid ongoing legal proceedings and international efforts to bring him to justice. The U.S. Department of Justice has been actively pursuing Low, who remains at large, for his involvement in the scandal. The case has drawn significant attention due to its scale and the involvement of high-profile individuals and institutions.

The Alaska State Senate has nearly unanimously passed legislation to advance gold and silver as legal tender, according to Jin10. Supporters argue that the bill will protect financial freedom and help local precious metal dealers compete fairly with tax-exempt online competitors. The "Sound Money Act" was approved by the state Senate on May 11 with a vote of 19 in favor and 1 against, and it has been submitted to Governor Mike Dunleavy for final review. Previously, the bill passed the state House unanimously with 40 votes in favor. The legislation formally recognizes gold and silver coins, as well as officially stamped gold and silver bars, as legal tender to the fullest extent permitted by federal law. Crucially, the bill ensures that transactions conducted with physical precious metals will not be considered taxable sales or use transactions at the local level. The bill does not mandate individuals or businesses to accept precious metals as payment, aiming to maintain the voluntary nature of currency transactions while formally granting gold and silver the status of legitimate financial instruments.

Saudi Arabia has carried out several undisclosed attacks on Iran in retaliation for assaults on its territory during the Middle East conflict, according to Odaily. Two Western officials and two Iranian officials familiar with the situation revealed these actions, which had not been previously reported, indicating Saudi Arabia's increasing assertiveness against its regional rival. The strikes, conducted by the Saudi Air Force, are believed to have taken place in late March, as assessed by the Western officials. This follows a report by The Wall Street Journal on Monday that the United Arab Emirates also launched military strikes against Iran. The actions by Saudi Arabia and the UAE highlight a largely hidden conflict where Gulf states, targeted by Iranian attacks, are beginning to retaliate. Iranian and Western officials noted that Saudi Arabia informed Iran of these strikes, leading to intense diplomatic engagements. Saudi Arabia threatened further retaliatory measures, which eventually resulted in an agreement between the two nations to de-escalate tensions.
