## Resource

On the June 22, 2026 Slotly News Daily Briefing, we walk through a session shaped by diplomacy, rate policy, and the ongoing AI build‑out. We start with US–Iran talks in Switzerland, where mediators say Washington and Tehran have agreed a 60‑day roadmap toward a peace deal and waivers that ease the flow of Iranian oil. That progress has pulled Brent crude back below 80 dollars a barrel and softened the energy risk premium. We then connect the move in oil to global inflation dynamics and the latest projections from the IMF. The episode reviews June decisions from the Federal Reserve, the ECB, and the Bank of England, alongside Japan’s gradual exit from strict yield‑curve control. We discuss how these paths are reflected in US, European, and Japanese government bond yields and in currency markets, including yen weakness and a firmer dollar. On equities, we cover the latest rotation in US tech and AI names, focusing on the Nasdaq‑100 and S&P 500 rebalances that add CoreWeave, Astera Labs, Marvell, and others. We set those changes against a record AI capex cycle and Apple’s new “Siri AI” announcement. We also examine European and Asian market moves, China’s ongoing property and consumption challenges, and a renewed pick‑up in M&A led by Berkshire Hathaway’s bid for Taylor Morrison.
