Oil Extends Slide on De-escalation Hopes
Oil prices continued to fall as U.S.-Iran talks raised hopes of a lasting de-escalation. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Michigan, President Trump dismissed suggestions that the U.S. was running short on weapons, as the pause in U.S.-Iran hostilities added to the case for further de-escalation.
Bitcoin Slips Amid Tech Rout
Bitcoin slipped to a 10-day low near $63k, weighed down by the broader tech sell-off and uncertainty around the Federal Reserve.
Indonesia's Stocks Stage a Rapid Turnaround
Indonesian stocks have staged a massive turnaround, reaching bull-market status just a month after hitting a five-year low. Attractive valuations, quick intervention by regulators, and a return of foreign investors have been credited with propelling the rally.
