## Resource

Today’s Slotly News daily briefing examines a cautious rebound in US technology stocks after last week’s AI‑driven selloff, with Nasdaq futures leading gains and mega‑cap names such as Microsoft helping to stabilise sentiment. We discuss SpaceX’s formal inclusion in the Russell US indexes and its upcoming entry into the Nasdaq‑100, unpacking what forced passive inflows mean for price dynamics and index governance. The episode also covers Comcast’s decision to spin off NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate publicly traded entity, reflecting strategic pressure in media and streaming. On the macro side, we look at the tentative halt in US‑Iran hostilities and the planned 60‑day negotiation window, and how oil markets are interpreting reduced near‑term risk around the Strait of Hormuz. We review the latest signals from the UK economy and Bank of England policy, explore why European equities have outperformed US peers in constant‑currency terms, and assess the Bank of Japan’s gradual shift away from strict yield‑curve control. The briefing also touches on Asian trading, Korea’s AI ambitions, commodity pricing in metals, and the importance of Thursday’s US nonfarm payrolls report for the Fed’s rate path.
