    Jun 18 2026
    Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

    (2) European Central Bank officials are signaling that a US-Iran peace accord won’t necessarily stop them lifting interest rates further, even if it prevents a more pronounced overshoot in inflation.

    (4) SpaceX jumped for a third straight day on Tuesday, overtaking Amazon.com in value to become the fifth-largest stock in the world.

    (5) HSBC said it will use Alphabet’s Google Cloud to roll out artificial intelligence across its global operations, including through projects that can each generate more than $100 million in extra revenue or savings.

    (4) The Iran war has produced an unusual sight on the Bank of England’s rate-setting panel: unity. Economists don’t expect it to last.
