US President Donald Trump made sweeping new demands on Iran after Tehran reiterated requests for reparations as part of talks to wind down the conflict, dimming hopes of a quick deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The yen wiped out half of its rally from recent interventions by Japan and the US to boost the currency, a psychologically significant move for traders who remain on alert for further official support.
And US investment giants including Apollo, Blackstone, BlackRock and Brookfield Asset Management are partnering with Nvidia to source $500 billion in financing for artificial intelligence infrastructure.
