The FTSE 100 rose more than 0.5% on Monday, outperforming European peers as banks and miners supported gains while investors continued to assess the implications of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation. The development has increased attention on Andy Burnham’s potential leadership bid and the policy direction he could pursue if chosen. Banking stocks led advances, with HSBC up 1.5% and Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays, NatWest and Standard Chartered rising between 1.7%-3.8%. Mining stocks added to the positive tone, with Rio Tinto up 1.4%, Glencore, Anglo American and Antofagasta rising around 0.3%-1.1%, and Fresnillo climbing 3%. EasyJet gained 2.5% after rejecting multiple Castlelake offers, prompting the investor to take its £4.74 billion bid directly to shareholders.

European stocks closed firmly higher at new records on Monday amid support from lower energy prices. The Euro STOXX 50 added 0.4% to 6,320 and the STOXX Europe 600 jumped by 0.7% to 640, both at their record highs. Iran stated that it made progress in the start of talks with the US over a permanent peace deal shortly after both parties signed their memorandum of understanding, supporting the likelihood that energy prices are due to stay lower and soften pro-inflationary risks. Banks led the gains as sovereign yields in the Eurozone pulled back, aiding the outlook for credit activity with Santander, BBVA, and Nordea rising around 2%. Meanwhile, Infineon jumped 5% to track another strong session for companies in the AI infrastructure space as hyperscalers continue to raise cash for capital expenditures. On the other hand, LVMH and Hermes lost 3.6% and 6%, respectively, amid the muted guidance for Moncler and sector downgrades by major brokers recently.

US stock indexes closed mixed on Monday as losses in megacap tech stocks offset optimism over progress in restoring energy supply from the Middle East. The S&P 500 fell 0.4%, while the Nasdaq 100 lost 0.2%. Alphabet dropped 5.2% after reports that another top AI researcher left for a rival, deepening concerns over its competitive position in artificial intelligence. Broadcom tumbled 4.7%, Amazon declined 4.4%, Microsoft lost 3.2% and Meta fell 2.7%. SpaceX plunged 16.4% after announcing a new bond sale. In contrast, Micron gained 6.8% after announcing a strategic agreement with Anthropic. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones rose 148 points after Iran said recent talks with the US made significant progress, with both sides aiming to reach a peace deal within two months. Energy prices extended losses on expectations of restored supply, while lingering expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve following last week’s meeting kept pressure on Treasuries.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 0.4% to close at 35,002 on Monday as investors assessed US-Iran peace talks and Canada’s May inflation report. The US and Iran reportedly made progress in their first round of talks aimed at reaching a final peace deal. Oil prices fell, easing concerns over energy-driven inflation pressures. Meanwhile, annual inflation accelerated more than expected, driven by higher gasoline prices. However, the data is unlikely to alter the Bank of Canada’s view on underlying inflation, as core price measures remained soft. The BoC said earlier this month it saw limited evidence that higher energy prices were feeding into broader inflation. In addition, Canada’s banking regulator lowered capital requirements for the country’s largest lenders, a move expected to support credit growth. Banking stocks advanced, with RBC up 1% and BMO gaining 1.2%. Elsewhere, higher gold prices lifted Agnico Eagle by 2.2%, WPM by 4.7%, and Barrick by 1.2%.

The Ibovespa rose 1.2% to close at 170,370 on Monday as progress in peace talks between the US and Iran boosted market sentiment. US Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s Foreign Minister took part in negotiations in Switzerland, with mediators from Qatar and Pakistan reporting encouraging progress, including the establishment of a framework for future technical talks. Both sides agreed on a roadmap to reach a final agreement within 60 days. Oil prices declined, pushing bond yields lower and easing concerns over energy-driven inflation. Major banks led gains, with Itaْ up 2.7% and Bradesco rising 1.8%. Utilities also advanced, with Axia up 2% and Sabesp gaining 3.5%. Petrobras rose 0.9% despite lower oil prices, supported by the payment of its latest interest on equity installment and the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Pemex. Retailers also contributed to gains, with Azzas surging 10.3% after presenting alternatives for Farm.

The Nikkei 225 Index dropped 3.6% to close at 69,788, while the broader Topix Index fell 2.6% to 3,990 on Tuesday, with both benchmarks pulling back from record highs as investors took profits following a strong rally in semiconductor and artificial intelligence-related stocks. Japanese equities also mirrored overnight weakness on Wall Street, where major US technology stocks came under pressure. Meanwhile, investors drew encouragement from signs of progress in ongoing US-Iran negotiations after Washington granted Tehran a 60-day license to sell oil on international markets, fueling expectations of a faster recovery in global supply. Among individual movers, losses were led by the tech conglomerate Softbank Group and chip maker Kioxia, which slumped 10.1% and 15.1%, respectively. Chip-equipment maker Tokyo Electron shed 6.2%, while Ibiden put off 6.6%.

The benchmark KOSPI plunged 9.99% to close at 8,204 on Tuesday, retreating sharply from record highs and tracking overnight losses on Wall Street as a selloff in major technology stocks weighed on sentiment. Investors also remained cautious over elevated valuations and increasing regulatory scrutiny of leveraged products tied to South Korea's semiconductor sector. Foreign investors were heavy net sellers, adding to downward pressure. Losses were led by technology heavyweights, with SK Hynix (-11.78%) and Samsung Electronics (-11.17%) tumbling, alongside SK Square (-5.18%), Hyundai Motor (-12.05%), LG Energy Solution (-6.10%), HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (-7.23%), and Kia Corp (-8.85%). Meanwhile, investors continued to monitor developments in the AI semiconductor industry, with SK Hynix recently overtaking Samsung Electronics as South Korea's most valuable listed company, while Samsung reported HBM4 sales exceeding $1 billion within four months of its launch.

The Shanghai Composite dropped 1.37% to close at 4,106 on Monday, while the Shenzhen Component slumped 3.17% to 15,854, with both benchmarks retreating from a one-month high and an over eleven-year peak, respectively, tracking overnight losses on Wall Street amid pressure on technology stocks. Major US tech stocks fell broadly as investors grew wary that the sector’s prolonged rally may have become overstretched. Chinese technology sector also traded lower, including Zhongji Innolight (-5.23%), Eoptolink Technology (-4.82%), and Victory Giant Technology (-7.44%). In contrast, financial stocks outperformed, particularly Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (2.5%) and Agricultural Bank of China (2.66%). On the economic front, China’s cumulative fiscal deficit narrowed for the first time in more than two years, with the combined shortfall across its two main government budgets falling to 3.16 trillion yuan in January–May despite weak domestic demand and sluggish economic growth.

The NZX 50 inched down 10 points, or 0.1%, to close at 13,436 on Tuesday, extending losses from the prior session, mainly weighed down by materials, industrials, and healthcare stocks. Traders were cautious as they anticipated the release of the US final Q1 GDP data and the May PCE Price Index, due this week, for clues on the Fed's monetary policy decision at its upcoming meeting, after it held interest rates steady last week. Gains in consumer staples, financials, and communication services limited the decline. However, easing oil prices capped the fall as inflation fears eased amid ongoing US-Iran peace talks, while Washington granted Iran a 60-day license to sell oil on international markets. Vulcan Steel dropped 3.0%, Briscoe Group fell 2.3%, Auckland International Airport was down 1.9%, Sanford fell 1.7%, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare declined 1.6%, Ebos Group shed 1.2%, and Mainfreight was down 1.0%.

Australia's ASX 200 fell 29 points or 0.3% to close at 8,787 on Tuesday, sliding for a fourth straight session and reversing early gains as U.S. stock futures dropped sharply on a Wall Street tech sell-off and rising bond yields. The benchmark index hit its lowest in over a week as caution built ahead of domestic CPI data Wednesday and labor market figures later this week, both seen as key for the Reserve Bank’s next move after holding cash rates steady last week. Losses were broad, led by electronic tech, producer manufacturing, logistics, and consumer sectors. Viva Energy dropped 3% after confirming its Geelong refinery will restart this week following April’s fire but will operate without its alkylation unit until 2027, curbing gasoline output. Miners also weighed, with Northern Star down 2.8%, Evolution Mining off 2.2%, and Fortescue easing 1.5%. In contrast, the four major banks advanced between 0.4% and 0.9%, tempering declines.

India’s BSE Sensex closed about 1.2% lower at 76,201 on Tuesday, reversing yesterday's advance, as investors booked profits across IT, metals, banking and financial counters. Market sentiment was dented by persistent foreign outflows, prospects of higher US interest rates and softer business activity data. A preliminary PMI survey showed India’s private sector growth eased in June, with services at a 17-month low and manufacturing at a three-month low. The IT sector was the hardest hit amid a global tech selloff, with Jefferies and Morgan Stanley highlighting weak demand signals following a subdued outlook from Accenture Plc. Infosys and TCS fell more than 3% each. Tata Steel fell 2.7%, tracking weaker global metal prices, amid concerns over a potential Fed rate hike. HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank shed 1.5% and 1%, respectively. On the upside, pharma stocks such as Sun Pharma rose 0.2% after reports that the US regulator contacted Indian drugmakers to supply a key cancer treatment drug.

The National Bank of Morocco left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2.25% at its June 23, 2026 meeting, marking a fifth consecutive decision to hold rates steady, as policymakers weighed ongoing supply-chain disruptions against improving economic conditions. Annual inflation eased to 1.2% in May, down from over a year high of 1.7%. However, energy and fuel prices surged 27.6% year-on-year, while rising imported inflation is expected to exert additional upward pressure on domestic prices. Nevertheless, inflation is projected to average 1.5% in 2026 and 2.1% in 2027. Economic activity improved, supported by a recovery in agricultural output and consolidated growth in non-agricultural sectors. Looking ahead, economic growth is expected to remain robust at 5.2%, although slightly below its previous forecast of 5.6%. Future monetary policy decisions will depend on the evolution of inflation, economic growth, and geopolitical developments, which continue to pose risks to the outlook.
