Markets Rattled by Tech Sell-Off and Middle East Tensions

Global stock markets have fallen sharply after a sell-off in technology shares combined with growing uncertainty over tensions in the Middle East. South Korea's Kospi index briefly suspended trading after plunging at the open, while Japan's Nikkei also suffered heavy losses. Plus, Chinese President Xi Jinping is in North Korea for talks with Kim Jong Un. We look at what the visit could mean for trade and economic ties between the two neighbours. Oil prices initially surged before easing back. We ask what that tells us about how investors are assessing the risk of a wider regional conflict. And Prada has entered the space race.

US jobs growth way better than expected

US jobs growth was way better than expected last month. The world’s biggest economy added twice as many jobs as economists had forecast: 172,000 versus predictions of around 88,000. Many of the new jobs were in the hospitality sector as pubs, bars and restaurants ramped up hiring ahead of the World Cup. The figures cover the lead up to the tournament, being jointly hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada. Plus, nearly a year after the Air India crash in Ahmedabad, the families of victims in India say they’re being paid significantly less in compensation than their counterparts in the UK. We hear from one of Vladimir Putin’s top advisers on the state of the Russian economy, and from a co-founder of the AI giant Anthropic, who says artificial intelligence needs to be reined in.
