📰 NEWS!
🔥 Iran ceasefire extension awaits Trump's sign-off — a tentative 60-day deal was struck last week, but the President has not yet approved, keeping oil headlines live.

🥇 Gold steadied above $4,500 after a volatile May, with the softer monthly inflation print taking some of the higher-for-longer pressure off.
📈 US equities open June near record highs as risk-on momentum carries into a data-heavy week led by Friday's NFP.

🌏 Japan 225 broke to a historic peak, joining the global risk-on rally.

📰 NEWS!

🚀 Nvidia topped Q1 estimates with 85% revenue growth and a $80B buyback authorisation, reinforcing the AI demand story for tech indices.

🕊️ Iran peace-deal hopes resurfaced, pausing the dollar's rally and pulling oil off this week's highs as risk-off unwinds.

📉 Asian stocks slipped as higher yields bit, with Nvidia's softer Q2 guidance leaving the after-hours reaction mixed.

🥇 Gold held steady around $4,540 as peace hopes offset inflation pressure, leaving today's PMIs the next swing factor.

💻 NVDA earnings are tonight — results drop after the US close (~21:00 BST).

🎯 Wall Street expects ~$78.8bn revenue & ~$1.77 EPS, above NVIDIA's own $78bn guide.

📉 Worth noting: the stock has fallen after 4 of its last 5 beats.

📊 Q2 guidance matters more than tonight's headline — consensus is ~$87bn.

🇨🇳 China is the wildcard. No China revenue is baked into Q1. Any H200 update could move the stock.

₿ BITCOIN!

🔻 Bitcoin's spring rally has lost momentum, slipping to $77K after a 6% pullback from the May peak near $82K knocked it out of the April uptrend channel.

⚠️ The macro has flipped against crypto: hot US CPI killed rate-cut bets, the dollar firmed, bond yields surged, and Iran-driven risk-off pulled positioning out of non-yielding assets.

📉 A daily close below $76K confirms the spring uptrend is over and opens the door to $65K, with the broader October bear trend back in play.

📈 A hold puts the 200-day moving average back in play as the next test, but with the macro more hostile than April, the bar for a sustained recovery is higher.

📰 NEWS!

🔥 Trump warned Iran "there won't be anything left of them" without a deal, lifting WTI near $106 and Brent near $109 as Hormuz risks reignite.

💱 EUR/USD slipped to around 1.1600 as the prolonged Iran conflict pressures risk assets, with Thursday's flash PMIs the next test.

💻 Nvidia tumbled over 4% on Friday and US futures sold off sharply in tandem, with Wednesday's Q1 results now the pivotal catalyst for tech indices.

🥇Gold slumped to multi-week lows as a firmer dollar and rising real yields beat the safe-haven bid despite the Iran flare-up.

📰 NEWS!

🔥 Trump rejected Iran's counterproposal as "totally unacceptable," extending the Strait of Hormuz closure and reigniting oil's risk premium.

🛢️ WTI pushed back above $100 a barrel and Brent topped $105 on the deadlock, with further moves tied to whether talks restart or escalation widens.

📉 US index futures slipped as the oil surge revived inflation worries and pushed Fed rate-cut bets back out.

🥇 Gold dipped despite the Iran escalation as a firmer dollar and higher-for-longer rate expectations offset the safe-haven bid.

📰 NEWS!

🔥US and Iranian forces traded fire in the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump and Tehran both downplayed the clash and said the ceasefire holds.

🛢️ Oil spiked on the headlines then gave back most of the move as escalation fears faded — the next swing depends on whether the truce sticks.

🇺🇸 All eyes on April NFP today. A soft print could revive Fed rate-cut bets and pressure the dollar; a strong one does the opposite.

🥇 Gold sits near record highs, with NFP and the Middle East setting up the next move either way.
