Price action in markets over the last seven trading days has been alarming, not ​just when it falls, but also when it rises," said Michael McCarthy, market analyst at ⁠Moomoo Securities Australia. "When markets move so rapidly, in either direction, it's a sign of instability."

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders to accelerate America's quantum innovation while protecting the country from quantum computing threats.
According to the official White House website, Trump issued Executive Orders 14409 and 14411 on Monday.
EO 14409, titled "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks," focuses on mitigating the threats posed by large-scale quantum computers to current encryption standards
"The advent of large-scale quantum computers, particularly in the hands of adversaries, will pose a significant threat to widely used cryptographic security systems," the order said. "Ongoing cyber activity against our Nation also presents the risk of adversaries collecting United States information now, and decrypting it later once large-scale quantum computers are operational
The order directed federal agencies to transition key information systems and high-value assets to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-approved Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
For this transition, the order set hard deadlines — it mandated that all high-value assets and high-impact systems transition to PQC for key establishment by the end of 2030 and PQC for digital signatures by the end of 2031
"Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Commerce, through the Director of NIST, shall initiate a pilot project for PQC migration on an appropriate subset of information systems owned or operated by NIST, to be completed no later than December 31, 2027," the order added
Meanwhile, EO 14411 — "Ushering In the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation" — established a roadmap for the U.S. to utilize the commercial and research benefits of quantum information science and technology (QIST).
The order directed relevant agencies and authorities to update the national quantum strategy with policies designed to support the QIST ecosystem. It also established the Quantum Computer for Application Development and Discovery Science (QC-ADDS) effort, which aims to develop quantum computers at a scale capable of supporting scientific breakthroughs.
Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of War shall identify at least three next-generation quantum sensor projects to prioritize to field these sensors by September 30, 2028," the order said.
The order also called for strengthening domestic quantum supply chains and training quantum-workforce.

SEOUL, June 23 (Reuters) - South Korea's ​Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol said ‌at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday that the current foreign exchange ​level at around mid-1,500 ​won per U.S. dollar is "excessive" compared to ⁠the country's fundamentals.
Asked by ​South Korean President Lee Jae Myung ​about why the won is so weak despite strong exports and a ​record-high current account surplus, Koo ​said profit-taking by foreign investors holding local ‌equities ⁠was putting downward pressure on the currency.
Foreign investors are estimated to have sold around 140 ​trillion ​won ($91.21 billion) ⁠for portfolio rebalancing during a rapid rally of ​the South Korean stock ​market, ⁠Koo said, without elaborating on the period.

US President Donald Trump and Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian have electronically signed a memorandum of understanding to extend a ceasefire in the US-Iran war.
Pakistan, which has been mediating the peace process, said the “Islamabad MOU” had gone into effect as of Wednesday.
Earlier, Esmaeil Baghaei, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, addressed Iranian media following the signing, stating that Iran would monitor the US’s compliance “without any leniency” and will not “fulfil” its commitments if Washington “evades its obligations”.
The foreign ministry said China welcomed the signing of the interim US-Iran agreement, and hopes both countries will approach their upcoming negotiations “rationally and pragmatically”. ⁠
Speaking at a news briefing, spokesperson Lin Jian said Beijing also hopes both parties will meet their commitments under the deal
President Vladimir Putin welcomed the US-Iran agreement brokered by Pakistan
Moscow views the deal as a step towards permanently halting the conflict and could serve as a model for future peace agreements, said Putin
Speaking at the Russia-ASEAN summit in the Russian city of Kazan, he said stabilisation in the Middle East would be beneficial for global energy markets
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is “imperative” that all parties “strictly adhere” to the understandings reached, including in Lebanon. Moscow is ready to contribute to diplomatic efforts to help create sustainable, long-term stability in the Middle East, it added in a statement on Telegram.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said it was vital that “free and safe navigation” in the Strait of Hormuz be promptly restored through the “steady implementation of the memorandum by all parties”
Japan hopes that both Washington and Tehran can swiftly reach a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear issue and other outstanding matters through further negotiations, she added

Global markets were mixed, with Wall Street closing lower, while European bourses rallied as the US Federal Reserve kept rates on hold, albeit with a hawkish tone that could tighten financial conditions for Americans.
While the US Federal Reserve kept rates on hold at yesterday’s policy meeting, a hawkish tilt from committee members dominated global sentiment, pushing Wall Street into the red.
S&P 500 closed 1.21% lower, the NASDAQ gave back 1.34%, and the Dow Jones shed 0.98% after policymakers signalled a possible rate hike later this year amid renewed inflationary concerns.
Europe ended on a firmer note as the FTSE 100 edged up 0.14% and the Euro Stoxx 50 rose 0.68%, supported by falling energy prices amid progress toward an interim agreement between the US and Iran.
The cautious overnight tone on Wall Street reverberated across Asian markets on Thursday as investors mulled higher interest rate expectations and earlier news that US President Donald Trump digitally signed an interim peace deal with Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The Hang Seng Index is currently down 1.70%, and the ASX 200 is trading 0.38% lower, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 is currently up 1.87% on the back of solid gains from semiconductor and AI-related shares.
Tencent’s 1.75% decline may weigh on Naspers and Prosus at the open with a weaker move on the ASX 300 Metals and Mining Index (-1.21%) suggesting that local mining counters may also face additional pressure during today’s session – platinum and palladium are under notable strain with gold also falling earlier this morning.
The local bourse saw a volatile start to Wednesday’s trading session but managed a leap higher in late afternoon trade, finishing the session firmly above the line as investors continued to assess global headlines surrounding the Middle East and interest rate expectations as well as a host of local economic releases including inflation and retail sales figures.
The All Share Index and Top 40 Index gained 0.41% and 0.46% to close at 116 025 points and 108 041 points, respectively. Financials (+1.37%) were the best performers, bolstered by banking counters (+1.75%), with Standard Bank (+2.25%) and FirstRand (+2.18%) leading the day.
Resources (+1.03%) maintained momentum from the PGM rally while Industrials (-0.97%) bucked the trend, closing in the red as Naspers and Prosus fell 2.65% and 2.36%, respectively.

Trading and investing platform eToro reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings on Tuesday, helped by a sharp increase in commodities trading activity during a volatile market environment.
The stock has gained nearly 10% so far this year as of the previous close.
Markets remained volatile during the first three months of 2026 as tensions in the Middle East fuelled inflation concerns and unsettled investors across global asset classes.
Such periods of uncertainty often benefit trading platforms as investors rebalance portfolios to hedge against risks.
eToro said net trading contribution from equities, commodities, and currencies jumped 71% year-over-year to $166 million during the quarter ended March 31.
The segment accounted for nearly 60% of trading commissions during the quarter, while trading volumes surged almost fourfold compared to the same period last year.
The company also expanded its offering during the quarter by introducing 24/7 trading for commodities, equities and indices.
Overall net contribution increased 19% year-over-year to $258 million, compared with $217 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted quarterly profit rose to $86 million, or 91 cents per share, from $67 million, or 77 cents per share, a year earlier.
The company also released preliminary April business metrics that indicated continued growth momentum.
Assets under administration rose 19% year-over-year to $18.7 billion in April, while funded accounts increased 13% to 4.07 million.
Total capital markets and equities, commodities and currencies trades reached 63 million during April, up 50% from a year earlier.
Total crypto trades declined 32% year-over-year to 2 million, while the invested amount per crypto trade fell 22%.
Interest-earning assets increased 28% to $7 billion, while total money transfers climbed 53% to $1.4 billion during April.

CrowdStrike shares slumped 11% in premarket trading on Thursday despite the cybersecurity company delivering better-than-expected quarterly results, as investors appeared unimpressed by annual recurring revenue growth and likely opted to lock in gains following a blistering rally.
The stock had been one of the strongest performers in the software sector, rising about 60% in May alone and roughly 65% so far this year, fueled by optimism that artificial intelligence would drive a new wave of cybersecurity spending.
The stock ran hard into the print on AI-security enthusiasm, and when a name is priced to perfection like this, even a strong quarter can get sold on the news," Mark Malek, CIO at Siebert Financial, wrote on Wednesday ahead of the earnings release.
Jefferies lowered its price target slightly to $760 from $775 but maintained a Buy rating, while Barclays raised its target to $675 from $650 and reiterated its Overweight recommendation.
Barclays analyst Saket Kalia noted that net new ARR reached $256 million but missed the firm's more optimistic upside scenario because deals tied to CrowdStrike's Mythos launch in April are expected to take longer to close.TD Cowen also remained bullish, raising its target price to $700 from $625 and reiterating a Buy rating.
The firm said investors were looking for a larger upside surprise after the stock's rapid appreciation and added that the post-earnings decline should prove temporary.
CrowdStrike currently trades at 137.81 times estimated earnings for the next 12 months, according to LSEG data, compared with 68.91 times for Palo Alto Networks and 31.03 times for Okta.
Swissquote analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya said the stock's decline despite an earnings beat suggests investors are becoming increasingly willing to take profits after strong gains.
The move is "a sign that profit-taking is becoming increasingly attractive when valuations look stretched," Ozkardeskaya writes.
She added that the reaction could be an early indication that parts of the technology sector may be vulnerable to a broader summer correction, particularly among stocks that have rallied sharply on AI enthusiasm.

Sixteen years ago, Tesla went public on the stock market, and today, Elon Musk is preparing to take another company public, which is already larger, more ambitious, and arguably far more controversial from a valuation standpoint.
For investors weighing whether to participate in what could become the largest IPO in history, Tesla's journey offers both inspiration and caution.
Yet while the two companies share a leader, their public-market debuts could hardly be more different.
The company was only about six years old and best known for the Roadster, a $109,000 electric sports car sold in limited numbers.
Elon Musk, who today boasts a net worth exceeding $800 billion, drew a base salary of just $33,280 a year, according to Tesla's IPO filing.
Tesla had a straightforward mission. It had hoped to prove that electric vehicles could compete with gasoline-powered cars and eventually become mainstream.
The company had sold only a few vehicles and was preparing to launch the Model S sedan, which it hoped would dramatically expand its addressable market.
Research by finance professor Jay Ritter has shown that IPOs launched at extremely high revenue multiples have historically tended to underperform the broader market in the years that follow.
With a small initial float boosted by almost every investment bank on the planet, buoyant investor appetite for AI infrastructure bids, and an unprecedented path to inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 Index just 15 trading days after the IPO, we expect SpaceX’s share price will likely survive separation and even ascent toward orbit, at least for a time," the analysts said.
Max Q, the moment of greatest atmospheric pressure on a launch vehicle, will come for SpaceX’s stock in the months following the IPO, when successive tranches of stock held by private investors and employees are slated to become available for sale into the public market," Morningstar said
As additional shares enter the market following lock-up expirations, investors could see a clearer picture of where sustainable demand for the stock lies.
We think long-term investors eager to participate in SpaceX’s future endeavors and potential success will have opportunities to do so with a greater margin of safety than the initial offering is likely to provide," the analysts added.
