Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) President Donald Trump said he called off a strike on Iran planned for Tuesday after an appeal by the leaders of Persian Gulf allies, who called for more time to pursue a diplomatic resolution.

(2) Standard Chartered Chief Executive Officer Bill Winters delivered a blunt message on the future of the bank’s workforce, warning that a push into artificial intelligence will eliminate thousands of roles as the lender replaces “lower-value human capital” with technology.


(3) A jury rejected Elon Musk’s claims that OpenAI under Sam Altman’s leadership betrayed its mission to benefit the public by morphing into a for-profit business, finding that he waited too long to sue the company.

(4) Greenland’s leader said he had a “constructive” meeting with Donald Trump’s envoy to the Arctic island, but warned there were no signs the US president has changed his ambition to acquire the territory.

(5) Andy Burnham, the current favorite to replace Keir Starmer as UK prime minister, has ruled out changing the government’s self-imposed limits on borrowing if he were to gain power.

(6) An unprecedented influx of wealth has pushed up rents and living costs in Milan, a city once seen as a second-tier financial center. Tax incentives have drawn returning professionals and wealthy expats from countries such as the UK that have phased out similar advantages.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) A selloff in global bonds extended as the deadlock over the Iran war drove oil prices higher, fueling inflation concerns and raising bets that central banks will need to keep tightening policy.

(2) Oil prices above $100 a barrel, with US-Iran ceasefire talks stalled and trade through the Strait of Hormuz heavily disrupted, continue to stoke global inflation pressures

(3) Oil rose for a third day as President Donald Trump again pressured Iran to come to a deal to end weeks of war and reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

(4) China’s growth slowed across the board in April with investment resuming declines, as booming exports no longer offset a deteriorating economy at home.

(5) The thorny question of whether Britain should unwind a decade of estrangement from the European Union is resurfacing as the Labour Party starts to imagine a future beyond Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

(6) A British dealmaking boom has London’s M&A advisers on track for their best year in more than a decade, standing in contrast to investor fears over the country’s latest political crisis.
