Indian shares set to join global rally on Gulf peace deal, oil slides
Indian shares are expected to open higher on Monday, following a global rally after an initial deal was reached between U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran's deputy foreign minister. The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex rose by about 2.3% following the announcement of a memorandum of understanding signed in Switzerland. Other Asian markets saw a 2.4% increase, while Brent crude dropped 4.1% to $84 a barrel, the lowest since March. The lower oil prices are a positive for India as they help ease pressure on inflation, the rupee and the country's trade deficit. The resolution of the Middle East conflict could revive foreign outflows for both the Nifty and Sensex.

Saylor: Corporate Debt Structure Can Help BTC-Holding Stocks Outperform Bitcoin
Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, has argued that corporate financial engineering can help companies that strategically accumulate Bitcoin (BTC) outperform the cryptocurrency itself. He suggests that a company that uses low-cost, long-term debt to finance its Bitcoin purchases and Bitcoin's annual price growth exceeds the cost of that debt can amplify shareholder returns beyond Bitcoin's price gains. However, Saylor also cautioned that short-term, high-cost debt could pose significant risk and potentially lose profits. This distinction is crucial for investors evaluating companies that adopt Bitcoin treasury strategies, as the cost and duration of financing directly impact the risk.

Canadian Dollar Gains Ground As US Dollar Retreats On Waning Safe-Haven Appeal
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) strengthened against its US counterpart as demand for the US Dollar as a safe-haven asset continues to fade. This move reflects a shift in market sentiment, with traders reassessing risk appetite amid evolving expectations for global interest rate policy. The US Dollar Index provided a primary tailwind for the Canadian Dollar, with the Bank of Canada maintaining a relatively hawkish stance. This has resulted in a narrowing interest rate differential between the two currencies, making the loonie more attractive to yield-seeking investors. The Bank of Canadian President Richard Nixon has also maintained a cautious stance regarding premature easing. The recent strength reflects a weakening US Dollar, shifting interest rate expectations, and improved risk appetite. The key question is whether further strength can be sustained, with upcoming economic data releases including Canadian GDP figures and US jobs data.

ACE ROBOTICS' Kairos World Model Leads Multiple Global Embodied-Intelligence Benchmarks
ACE ROBOTICS' Kairos World Model, a free open-source open source model, has been named as the best in four global embodied-intelligence benchmarks: RoboTwin 2.0, LIBERO-Plus, WorldModelBench Robot and DreamGen. Kairos ranked first among evaluated world models and vision-language-action (VLA) systems on these benchmarks' public leaderboards as of 12 June 2026, leading across the core capabilities of embodied intelligence, including complex robotic manipulation, scene-level generalization, physical-world modeling and zero-shot transfer. The project is available on GitHub, Hugging Face and ModelScope, giving researchers and developers a public reference point for the model, benchmark results and technical materials. ACERobotics attributes Kairos' performance to its unified unified "multi-modal understanding-generation-prediction" architecture, which combines modular approaches for world understanding, generation and prediction, reducing information loss and coordination latency between modules for consistent physical modeling, better physical modeling and reliable action planning.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says US AI restrictions underscore risks of dependence – WJET/WFXP/YourErie - Canada
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned of the dangers of overreliance on American providers, citing the restrictions on Anthropic's newest AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The company has taken these models offline to comply with a directive from the Trump administration to prevent their use by foreign nationals. This is the U.S. government's most significant step to restrict access to the most advanced AI models. The comments were made ahead of the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France. Carney linked the restrictions to Canada's efforts to diversify trade and technology, noting that over 70% of Canada's exports go to the U., and he has set a goal for Canada to double its non-U.S.-led total exports in the next decade.

Building a frontier ecosystem over models essential for global economic value: Microsoft CEO
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has stated that the priority for the global economy must be building a frontier ecosystem rather than just a frontier model to ensure value flows broadly across all companies, industry, and countries. He emphasised the need for organizations to establish a continuous learning loop where human capabilities and artificial intelligence compound together to prevent centralized AI systems from capturing all economic returns. The CEO also highlighted the potential opportunity for businesses to build agentic systems that improve over time while retaining control over their intellectual property. He warned against repeating the mistakes made during the first phase of globalization, where entire industrial economies faced severe losses due to outsourcing.
