      <title>Spanish government proposes Juan José Ganuza as CNMC president</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/11</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Spain’s Cabinet proposed economist Juan José Ganuza to head the National Commission for Markets and Competition, or CNMC, replacing Cani Fernández after her term expired June 17 and left her in the post on an interim basis. Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo made the proposal, which must go through the Congress of Deputies before the Cabinet can make the appointment by royal decree. The government also proposed Carmen Balsa, Marina Echebarría and Joan Capdevila as new CNMC councillors, filling pending board posts at the Spanish competition and markets regulator. ABC, El Mundo, La Voz de Galicia and Libertad Digital reported links between the proposed councillors and the governing Socialists or parliamentary partners Sumar and ERC. If approved, Ganuza would serve a six-year term, while Spain’s next general election must be held no later than summer 2027. Ganuza is a professor of economics and business at Pompeu Fabra University, director of markets, regulation and competition at Funcas, and a specialist in competition policy, market regulation, digital economy and public procurement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/GzRcajEAAUfIHrwHhldzdKjOpNNzBns4RzGu6U3LjFZmOPZk4HulgtmKlgwcOg7vIWRZmiRRf6kzLriPbUOxLE7Om6V151KX9gvwKn2MVDElWtEjQhZK1E3ZuKw7W_48TPikTZShBAc4FlqtRSHMzVxdu5b4-4wQ204nQlW0L6hQ2wrSIpgvB90hD2x1jLIK39lvfSPqwMTsJxRWcnEaiXhtqaXlpDlV5Hxz-4b2QAme39bFdUCCRANaJ5ym' alt='Juan José Ganuza' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Congressional committee: The committee must assess candidate suitability and the absence of conflicts of interest, although La Voz de Galicia reported those opinions are not binding.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Opposition parties: The PP and Vox are expected to reject the nominations in Congress, but La Voz de Galicia reported that they do not have enough votes to block the process.

      <title>Alibaba sues Pentagon over Chinese military blacklist</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/10</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Alibaba filed a federal lawsuit in San Jose, California, seeking removal from a Pentagon list that designates the Chinese e-commerce and cloud-computing group as linked to China’s military. The Pentagon added Alibaba to the 1260H list after saying the company was a “military-civil fusion contributor to the Chinese defense industrial base” through ties to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and an indirect affiliation with China’s state asset regulator, SASAC. Alibaba said the determinations “have no basis in fact or law,” argued that none of its independent board members has military affiliation, and said its products and services support retail, logistics, cloud computing and enterprise information technology rather than weapons, defense or intelligence. Starting June 30, the Pentagon cannot enter new contracts with designated companies or their controlled subsidiaries, and Alibaba’s lawsuit says the designation also restricts its ability to retain lobbying firms in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/sx92Xj478ZfnC2r0OHOcO1aFu27x_ts97sdMr0Z_9NVLB_XATGpkQwYWCu7wA3YnFT8mnvfZo0rxQ5GUZI3uKo-YngcL6xb8JAmoVTzqGkhkFyCoz-cVsChfnqF1QDJhjNBXB_NT0EE-QPRFadG79Url5qlooO9a27mdVvtXErFTEJIiGh4jhEItkdg1dGegLfbcMwh__FBEPxHkMqM-GQTH4M2uwQBf6jHw' alt='A person walks past an Alibaba logo at the company’s Beijing office.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;List expansion: The Pentagon added e-commerce, search, electric-vehicle and biotech firms including Alibaba, Baidu, BYD, Nio and WuXi AppTec to the list.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Legal claims: Alibaba argues the designation violates constitutional due process and First Amendment rights because it lacks substantial evidence, the company says.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Contract limits: U.S. law will bar third-party purchases of listed companies’ products or services from 2027, according to Reuters.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Market reaction: Alibaba’s U.S.-listed ADR fell more than 2% on June 23 to $102.58, leaving it down 34.13% for the year, according to Cnyes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Alibaba: Alibaba said the label portrays it as a tool of China’s military and a threat to U.S. national security, harms its reputation and casts a shadow over every U.S. relationship it maintains. (&lt;a href='https://www.cna.com.tw/news/aopl/202606240031.aspx'&gt;CNA&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pentagon: A Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment on the case, saying the agency does not discuss pending litigation.

      <title>Australia core inflation rise lifts rate-hike risk</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/9</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Australia&amp;#x27;s annual headline inflation eased to 4% in May from 4.2% in April, but the Reserve Bank of Australia&amp;#x27;s preferred trimmed mean measure rose to 3.6% from 3.4%, leaving underlying inflation above the top of the central bank&amp;#x27;s target band. Economists had expected headline inflation to accelerate. The trimmed mean came in above forecasts of 3.5% in some surveys and above a 0.3% monthly core-inflation forecast cited in market coverage. The Australian Bureau of Statistics data showed fuel prices fell in May, helping pull down the headline rate, but economists said earlier energy-cost increases were still flowing into prices for building materials, plastics and other business inputs. The figures drew market attention to the next RBA decision after the central bank paused in June and warned that another increase remained possible if inflation needed further restraint.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/6UXh8nuHVQyByAdSUST49k5xw5N1tsK05RJIXM_L9qhrddHF4bKvjTDfZhirj833fTfduXp5Tp8Rr7BkKt8CqJ0nsmobPzDx4xHqtWuljEs0fGTCsVgSg3s2aJ4TwA8CPlcvzjII1I6c50WOt0mnRcYAtU9C3_Sd6zr3hHFEnTpNf1TZmEjjbuKoMMaWcwOZ17h1ZPvCrKQMqDC6DppWNci3oDdGFKcMGYBPVEJbZBLeLtN5LP_RiDo5ComTQhRD5DGGeM24UPDlP9tWH2Ax' alt='The Reserve Bank of Australia was expected by economists to keep rate hikes on the table after underlying inflation rose.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Market reaction: The S&amp;amp;P/ASX 200 rose 0.24% to 8,808 points by the close, while the Australian dollar was flat at 69.12 US cents around 4:30pm AEST.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sector moves: Technology stocks climbed 4%, led by a 13% rise in WiseTech Global and a 7% gain in Xero, while miners fell 0.7% and energy stocks weakened more than 1%.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Policy setting: The RBA paused its tightening cycle in June after three consecutive hikes, following slower first-quarter growth and a rise in unemployment in April.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Next data: Market participants were also awaiting Australian employment data due Thursday, one day after the inflation release.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Unfortunately today&amp;#x27;s data adds to the case for a rate hike - Brendan Rynne&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Sources:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-24/australia-s-core-inflation-accelerates-keeping-rba-on-alert'&gt;Australia’s Core Inflation Accelerates, Keeping RBA on Alert&lt;/a&gt; - bloomberg.com&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jun/24/interest-rate-hikes-remain-on-cards-as-underlying-inflation-climbs-economists-warn'&gt;Interest rate hikes remain on cards as Australia’s underlying inflation climbs, economists warn&lt;/a&gt; - theguardian.com&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/australia-consumer-prices-slip-may-core-inflation-tops-forecasts'&gt;Australia consumer prices slip in May, but core inflation tops forecasts&lt;/a&gt; - businesstimes.com.sg&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.wsj.com/economy/australias-underlying-inflation-rises-despite-easing-fuel-costs-4ca68413'&gt;Australia’s Underlying Inflation Rises Despite Easing Fuel Costs&lt;/a&gt; - wsj.com&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://michaelwest.com.au/inflation-tipped-to-rise-despite-falling-fuel-prices/'&gt;Inflation tipped to rise despite falling fuel prices&lt;/a&gt; - michaelwest.com.au&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-24/asx-markets-business-live-news/106834708'&gt;Live: Latest inflation data increases rate-hike risk, ASX higher&lt;/a&gt; - abc.net.au&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.businessnews.com.au/article/Underlying-inflation-rises-despite-fuel-price-fall'&gt;Underlying inflation rises despite fuel price fall&lt;/a&gt; - businessnews.com.au&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.brecorder.com/news/40427129/australian-shares-extend-early-gains-as-may-headline-inflation-cools'&gt;Australian shares extend early gains as May headline inflation cools&lt;/a&gt; - brecorder.com&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/business/inflation-tipped-to-rise-despite-falling-fuel-prices-c-22475645'&gt;Inflation lying in wait to strike another rate blow&lt;/a&gt; - perthnow.com.au&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

      <title>ECB officials warn eurozone inflation may stay high</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/8</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;European Central Bank officials signaled that eurozone inflation may stay above the central bank’s 2% target for longer after the ECB raised its key interest rate to 2.25% this month. Vice President Boris Vujcic described the current policy rate as “robust,” while Chief Economist Philip Lane said the central bank would take a calibrated response to the energy-price shock. Lane said easing tensions in the Middle East would not by itself remove the inflation risk, and that the ECB raised rates this month to keep higher energy prices from feeding into long-term inflation expectations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/nrT3qIKQGDgv1pmF-zwxjyNShfVb1wrsAV0ezdB_Ggd7xDd6Yu34X-45eOsF9U8OshAuosY2CoIj1RdJlD38T38JIuL8YwMkxiUKfeXO7W85oH3KJ8qN1nhlzePzwJS2f18d5oCSypkeGxpEOvJRVoClwA' alt='Boris Vujcic, ECB vice president, described the current 2.25% policy rate as robust.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Market pricing: Financial markets expect at least one more ECB rate increase before the end of 2026, even though energy prices have retreated from recent highs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Policy framing: Lane said the ECB still has work to do to address conflict-related inflation effects, even as Middle East tensions ease.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Official venue: Vujcic laid out his views in an ECB speech titled “Outlook for the euro area economy and monetary policy” on June 23.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Calibrated response - Philip Lane&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Sources:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-23/ecb-s-vujcic-sees-inflation-remaining-higher-for-longer'&gt;ECB’s Vujcic Sees Inflation Remaining Higher for Longer&lt;/a&gt; - bloomberg.com&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/eurozone-inflation-could-stay-high-even-peace-deal-says-ecb-official'&gt;Eurozone inflation could stay high even with peace deal, says ECB official&lt;/a&gt; - businesstimes.com.sg&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.expansion.com/economia/2026/06/24/6a3ad851e5fdea3f4e8b4591.html'&gt;Boris Vujcic, vicepresidente del BCE,  cree que la inflación seguirá alta &amp;quot;más tiempo&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; - expansion.com&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.ecb.europa.eu//press/key/date/2026/html/ecb.sp260623_1~e421434341.en.pdf'&gt;Boris Vujčić: Outlook for the euro area economy and monetary policy&lt;/a&gt; - europa.eu&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.kleinezeitung.at/artikel/32249982/ezb-chefvolkswirt-inflation-bleibt-wohl-noch-geraume-zeit-hoch'&gt;EZB-Chefvolkswirt: „Inflation bleibt wohl noch geraume Zeit hoch“&lt;/a&gt; - kleinezeitung.at&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='https://aawsat.com/node/5287545'&gt;كبير اقتصاديي «المركزي الأوروبي»: التضخم قد يبقى أعلى من 2 % رغم التهدئة&lt;/a&gt; - aawsat.com&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

      <title>U.S. factory PMI rises as jobs fall sharply</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/7</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;U.S. private-sector activity accelerated in June, with S&amp;amp;P Global&amp;#x27;s flash composite PMI rising to 52.2 from 51.5 in May, the strongest reading in five months; readings above 50 indicate expansion. Manufacturing drove the gain: the factory PMI increased to 55.7 from 55.1, its highest since May 2022, while the services PMI rose to 51.3 from 50.7. The manufacturing upswing reflected companies placing advance orders and rebuilding inventories to guard against supply shortages and price increases tied to the Middle East conflict, tariffs and shifting policy. S&amp;amp;P Global&amp;#x27;s Chris Williamson said increased buying included safety stocks, while The Conference Board&amp;#x27;s Erin McLaughlin told Marketplace the data did not show stronger factory employment or consumer-level demand. Factories cut jobs sharply despite higher output. The manufacturing employment index fell to 47.0 from 51.6, the lowest since May 2020; S&amp;amp;P Global and reports citing the survey described the pace of cuts as close to financial-crisis and COVID-era levels, or the fastest outside the pandemic since 2009.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/gzlrjUDukss6TCKpaa3M4aQbUGTk-p9y9k-FBj0zP1zVBvX0zb93zy8MSI75MeeYbqAdYT56fRXUxKxlIR-AAKxpJl8Sje0w-ux3LpO1-NFiOtkWuKIQt6sH45zKnfJCK5-Y0heRGU0' alt='A worker uses a brushing machine to refinish reclaimed wooden siding at a sawmill in Pine Plains, New York.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Order growth: Manufacturers&amp;#x27; new orders grew at the fastest pace in more than four years, while stock purchases reached a 13-month high and input inventories rose at the second-fastest rate on record.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cost pressure: Supplier delivery times lengthened to their longest since August 2022, and prices for aluminum, fertilizer and energy-related materials stayed elevated even as some input-cost gauges eased.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Economists&amp;#x27; forecast: Economists had expected the manufacturing PMI to fall to 54.8, but the preliminary June reading rose to 55.7.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Overseas weakness: Eurozone business activity contracted for a third consecutive month, with Germany at a one-and-a-half-year low and France recovering only partly from a more-than-two-year low.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;GDP signal: Analysts cited by Cnyes said the PMI readings implied U.S. second-quarter growth at an annualized pace only slightly above 1%.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Since the outbreak of the war, there&amp;#x27;s been an increase in buying, not just to meet production needs, but to build some safety stocks, so precautionary stock building ahead of potential further supply problems, or further price rises. - Chris Williamson&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chris Williamson, S&amp;amp;P Global Market Intelligence: Williamson called the manufacturing data a growth spurt but pointed to safety-stock buying as a warning sign rather than evidence of sustained final-demand growth.

      <title>Spanish business group CEOE advances presidential election process</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/5</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Spanish employers&amp;#x27; federation CEOE has brought forward the start of its presidential election process. President Antonio Garamendi has called the executive committee and board for July 1 to set the date of the vote. The election had been expected later in the year, but CEOE now plans to hold it before November, with late September or early October among the dates under consideration. CEOE sources said the timetable was moved to avoid an overlap with an Ibero-American summit scheduled in Madrid in early November and to comply with the federation&amp;#x27;s statutes, which require at least three months between the formal election call and the vote. Garamendi has led CEOE since November 20, 2018, and the next presidency covers a four-year term. ABC reported that he will stand for re-election, while elDiario.es reported that he had not yet publicly clarified whether he will seek another term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/YtVlKBSsTUEm-B73YUmrWBkRiRyA7sOZyM7i1hRLmPrbudRZSFZ7UBOhM8I17ueTUn1xkfMJu7MJUQAlIPrgxcLvmJ-ZhsZJxP15o8FoUL_4FnWK9QRPPMOAAzvbeOZZuBNAF70Mf7ELecUf6yOPhdRoS32eVW-02_37h9Gn7jSW1R59qAC87RhZiSHf2Fq2TcVK7qhXdtRWQ7wjqg' alt='CEOE president Antonio Garamendi.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Earlier start: The election process had been scheduled to begin on July 15 before Garamendi called the July 1 meetings.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mandate rules: CEOE approved the removal of its two-term presidential limit in 2013, allowing Garamendi to seek a third consecutive term through 2030 if he runs and wins.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;CEOE leadership: CEOE sources said the federation wanted to finalize the election call during July so member organizations would have enough time to complete internal procedures before August.

      <title>French heatwave strains power grid, schools and economy</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/4</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;France recorded its hottest day since measurements began in 1947 on Tuesday, when an early-summer heatwave pushed the national temperature indicator to 29.8°C, after the country also logged its hottest recorded night. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said 40 people had drowned since Thursday while trying to cool off, most of them young people; Météo-France placed 58 departments under red heat alerts on Wednesday, affecting about 44 million people. The heat disrupted schools, transport and tourist sites. The Eiffel Tower adjusted afternoon operations, and the Louvre planned earlier closures from Wednesday through Saturday. In the energy system, EDF shut one reactor at Golfech and reduced output at other sites because hot river water constrained cooling, while grid operator RTE said France still had enough capacity to meet demand. The heatwave also strained electricity systems across Europe. In France&amp;#x27;s Finistère department, a transformer incident left around 68,000 households without power on Wednesday. European electricity prices rose as air-conditioning and fan use increased demand while wind output and some power plants underperformed; Great Britain paid about £470 per megawatt-hour for imported power during Tuesday evening peak hours, and France&amp;#x27;s spot price neared €280 per megawatt-hour around 9 p.m..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/iA5pJdOWbSlE7CaAQyPXG49afFPtEn4gI2E5JJf_e6yIr4OjxPN5JFxHE7lDKNVS1JglwyzxSu8w3g9PZlp5_m8L3iDCnwWn_zIvXU-mLtJb' alt='Young people jump from a bridge into the Canal Saint-Martin during a heatwave in Paris on June 22, 2026.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wholesale prices: Belgian power prices were expected to exceed €1,000 per megawatt-hour on Wednesday evening, while Spanish wholesale electricity averaged €112.42 per megawatt-hour on Tuesday, the highest since March.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Retail demand: Carrefour sold 30,000 fans and air-conditioning units by 6:30 p.m. Monday, which CEO Alexandre Bompard described as a thousand times a normal day&amp;#x27;s volume.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Workplace limits: Italy&amp;#x27;s government moved to restrict work during the hottest hours and allow wage-support schemes for heat and drought emergencies.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Delayed costs: The European Central Bank estimates heatwaves can leave economic activity about 1.5% lower two years after the initial disruption.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;It&amp;#x27;s not something to be taken lightly, going swimming in unsupervised areas during a heatwave - Marina Ferrari&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Météo-France: The weather agency said sunshine would continue to dominate France and warned that some places could surpass all previously measured temperature records, regardless of season.

      <title>AI stock selloff drags Nasdaq down 2.2%</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/2</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;A selloff in technology and semiconductor shares hit global markets on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite closing down about 2.2% and the S&amp;amp;P 500 falling about 1.4% as investors questioned whether heavy spending on artificial intelligence can translate into profits. The selling centered on AI-linked chip and memory names: Micron Technology fell 13.2%, Nvidia dropped more than 4%, and Broadcom lost 3.1% in U.S. trading. The selling followed a steep decline in Asia, where South Korea’s Kospi fell about 10% after a record close in the previous session, triggering a 20-minute trading halt as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each fell more than 12%. Losses spread through Japan, Hong Kong, Europe and Wall Street, while some sources linked the pressure to high valuations, debt-funded AI spending and the possibility of higher U.S. interest rates. Asian markets were mixed Wednesday: South Korea’s Kospi rebounded in early trading after Tuesday’s decline, while Japan’s Nikkei and Taiwan’s Taiex remained under pressure in some sessions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/I-cGaxOcVrOXM_wv_BBeQchirkUCoqwIHNd4zvb9y5WZ0ArUzz240i3JLUvA8Vs87yODdStPBEWR-ssNRDRfKDFqXMwJDcN5Q7WNJXdSnQCwAOiBlPmrzrl0EJ-zjHK1RnzhfDhVeL1XOX_ZfvUtORvK6lfrc8tlAjU' alt='An options trader works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange during a week of technology-stock volatility.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;SpaceX pressure: SpaceX fell 16% on Monday, closed Tuesday at $156.11, and had traded below its $150 initial float price during the volatile session.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Credit reliance: Alphabet said earlier in June it was raising $80 billion through share and debt sales, reflecting how some AI-heavy companies have moved beyond cash balances to fund expansion.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Next catalyst: Investors looked to Micron’s earnings after Wednesday’s close for evidence on memory-chip demand, pricing and capital-spending plans.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Today’s big falls in tech stocks without any major catalyst are another illustration of rising volatility in these stocks, a result of what increasingly looks like frothy earnings expectations and/or valuations - James Reilly&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Capital Economics: Senior market economist James Reilly said the recent drop put Meta Platforms and Microsoft in bear-market territory and warned that pressure on semiconductor leaders would threaten the wider stock market.

      <title>Brexit at 10 leaves UK assessing economic costs</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/1</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Britain marked the 10th anniversary of the June 23, 2016, Brexit referendum, in which 51.9% of voters chose to leave the European Union and 48.1% voted to remain. The UK formally left the EU on January 31, 2020, and its post-Brexit trading arrangements took full effect on January 1, 2021. Economic assessments published around the anniversary described slower growth rather than the sudden collapse predicted by some opponents or the revival promised by supporters. Allianz Trade estimated that UK GDP would be 2% to 4% higher without Brexit-related political instability and trade friction, while an NBER working paper estimated a 6% to 8% GDP loss, with investment down 12% to 13% and productivity down 3% to 4% against a counterfactual path. Economists and analysts cited lower trade, weaker investment and added barriers with the EU, still the UK’s largest trading partner, as the main sources of damage. The anniversary coincided with another leadership crisis after Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation on June 22, setting up Britain for its seventh prime minister since the referendum. Polls cited around the anniversary showed public opinion had moved against the decision, with 57% of Britons calling Brexit a mistake and a YouGov poll putting the share calling it an error at about 56%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/YiJRJKIAx6-2p7ugLun9-A-fP2RYkTnTe9YmtlHtibUD3IHvofKNzujDkFyOVBbTPfoPVVbkvDofA96xKFXAxIih7v7-4KC_aByWuC6TwYPMtCf1KQRB0gZ_jpRjeUjOzCkJfgV9B8eoe7H2jwG5byaLfWD5qAb6ZNNka6anOTO3T-7zd6tKxaR971uVjLvdhAUl07iFVZH1t90gCk42cl5rS1c' alt='A “Vote Leave” rally in London in June 2016.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Currency impact: The pound fell sharply after the June 2016 vote and remained well below pre-referendum levels against the euro and dollar a decade later, adding to import costs and contributing to above-target inflation into 2023.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Migration shift: ONS figures cited by AFP showed EU net migration fell from 253,000 in 2016 to 70,000 in 2020, while non-EU net migration doubled from 90,000 to 186,000 by 2019.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;City of London: The City lost some EU-focused activity after the referendum but recorded strong growth in insurance and fintech over the following decade.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Public trade-offs: Ipsos polling with King’s College London found 53% supported allowing EU citizens to live and work in Britain in exchange for Single Market access, while 52% still prioritised full immigration control.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The subterranean trace of Brexit - Chris Grey&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Allianz Research: Allianz described the decade as “resilience without revival,” saying predictions of economic catastrophe and promises of a Brexit dividend were both overstated.

(&lt;a href='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyv0m164m84o'&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sara Hobolt, London School of Economics: Hobolt told AFP that Brexit created Leaver and Remainer political identities that remain deeply rooted and often stronger than party loyalty.

      <title>EU lawmakers advance digital euro ahead of possible 2029 launch</title>
      <link>https://kite.kagi.com/1c4da38e-9806-444a-b1e5-461c984495bf/economy/0</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee approved its negotiating position on a digital euro on June 23, backing the proposal by 43 votes to 14 with one abstention. The digital euro would be an electronic form of central bank money issued and backed by the European Central Bank, distributed through banks or payment providers, and usable for payments in stores, online and between people. Supporters present the project as a way to reduce euro-area reliance on non-European payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard; ECB data cited by Euronews said the two companies process 61% of card payments in the euro area and almost all cross-border card transactions. Lawmakers aim to finalize an agreement with EU member states by the end of 2026, before a pilot in the second half of 2027 and possible full ECB issuance in 2029.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src='https://kagiproxy.com/img/uGxZs2mRTqrE8EYG5HZpdtHK12jGce6GzusHgFT8hPPb6mxjk3guR3y25oaWG1VQ81HiHU72H9exBlc0r7LCytwBqUNeGqJciGCwRGyYBuIZuAA5QvWWDz2WGVjpuntkKWRvOVDt7ZEZNRG0aOd5Pzc_WqjI4bqvr4SPVp-hZ64vI-q7' alt='Aurore Lalucq, chair of the European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, during proceedings on the digital euro.' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Highlights:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cash protection: The package also reinforces access to and acceptance of euro cash, with lawmakers saying the digital euro should complement banknotes and coins rather than replace them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wallet limits: Consumers would hold digital euros in a dedicated wallet subject to a cap that lawmakers have not yet set, a safeguard intended to limit pressure on bank deposits.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cost warning: European banks estimate the digital euro could cost the financial sector 4 to 6 billion euros over four years, adding to concerns about deposit outflows and compensation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Non-euro access: Separate provisions would allow the digital euro to be used in non-euro EU member states under bilateral agreements, broadening the payment network beyond the single currency area.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;This is a historic day for Europe - Aurore Lalucq&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Perspectives:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;European Central Bank: The ECB welcomed the committee vote and said it would keep supporting lawmakers with technical expertise while continuing technical work on the project.
