chachamal Asian equities rose on Wednesday, driven by strong gains in the technology sector and optimism about artificial intelligence. Japan’s Nikkei 225 hit a new record high, despite fresh military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran. Bitcoin's ( BTC-USD ) price fell to nearly $65,000 in early June, its lowest since March, pressured by Strategy’s Bitcoin sale and a broader shift in institutional capital toward artificial intelligence rather than digital assets. Gold prices held below $4,500 per ounce. WTI crude futures climbed toward $95 per barrel. The benchmark KOSPI market closed. South Korea's stock market has doubled this year, and strategists believe the AI-driven semiconductor rally will continue boosting corporate earnings. Goldman Sachs raised its target for the Kospi index to 12,000 on Wednesday, according to reports . Japan's ( NKY:IND ) rose 2.98% to approach the 68,000 mark, while the broader Topix Index climbed 1% to 3,963 . The Japanese yen weakened toward the 160-per-dollar mark. Japan’s S&P Global Services PMI was at 50.0 in May 2026, aligning with the preliminary estimate and marking its lowest level since March 2025. Market participants are now focused on remarks from BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda, who is scheduled to speak later on Wednesday. China's ( SHCOMP ) rose 0.45% to 4,067, while the Shenzhen Component extended its previous-session advance, rising 1.3% to 15,797, and the offshore yuan weakened to 6.76 per dollar, retreating from a more than three-year high reached in the previous session. The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) announced on Wednesday that it conducted zero reverse repo operations, citing primary dealers' funding needs in its open market operations. A private survey showed China's Composite PMI rose to a three-month high of 54 in May, with the services PMI also reaching a three-month peak of 54.4. However, manufacturing activity lost momentum, with the PMI falling to 51.8 from April's five-year high of 52.2. Hong Kong ( HSI ) fell ...
My ‘niblings’ gave me a positive reason to return to the home town where I’d experienced homophobia as a boy.

My ‘niblings’ gave me a positive reason to return to the home town where I’d experienced homophobia as a boy. Over time, they transformed my sense of family and self When I found out I had become an uncle, I was 22 and on a year abroad as part of a languages degree, living in Madrid. I’d spent much of my time there having raucous fun on the city’s gay scene, dancing till the early hours then sloping off with Spanish men. It felt a long way from my family life back home in Bolton. As this was 1997 – a time before mobile phones – calls from landlines had to be rationed to once a week. But my mum phoned to tell me my sister had gone into labour and then, two days later, the phone rang again with the news that I had a nephew. It felt like an abstract concept, not quite real.

Michael Regan | Getty Images Sport | Getty Images This report is from this week's CNBC's UK Exchange newsletter. Like what you see? You can subscribe here. The dispatch As Martin Odegaard, Arsenal's captain, lifted the Premier League trophy at Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park ground in south London on May 24, one could be forgiven for thinking all is well with English football (or soccer...). In winning their first league title in 22 years — and their 14th overall — Arsenal became the third different club to lift the trophy in as many seasons, following Liverpool in 2024-25 and Manchester City in 2023-24. That highlights a competition that's tougher than Europe's. Spain, the second-richest league after England, remains a duopoly between Barcelona and Real Madrid, who have been champions in 20 of the last 22 seasons. In Germany, Bayern Munich have won 13 of the last 14 seasons, while in France, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have been title-winners in eight of the last nine. Of Europe's top leagues, only Italy's Serie A is as competitive as the Premier League, with four clubs — Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli — winning the title during the last seven years. English clubs are also thriving in international competitions. Only victory on penalties for PSG against Arsenal in last Saturday's Champions League final prevented an English clean sweep after wins for Aston Villa and Palace in the Europa League and Europa Conference League. Chelsea, meanwhile, are current holders of FIFA's Club World Cup. That may reflect the wealth of English clubs. The Premier League sells its TV rights (both home and overseas) for more than any other football competition, while English clubs took half the places in Deloitte's latest ranking of the world's 30 richest clubs by revenue, with the re...
