China Retail Sales Fall First Since 2022
China’s economy showed a wider imbalance in May as retail sales fell 0.6%, fixed asset investment declined faster, and industrial production still expanded 4.5%. Reports said exports and high-tech sectors helped support factory activity, but weak consumption and property-linked investment continued to weigh on the recovery. Markets may read the data as another signal of fragile demand and rising policy pressure.
FBI Flags New Crypto Fraud Tactic
The FBI has warned that fraudsters are using in-person couriers to collect cash, gold, and other valuables from victims before moving the proceeds through cryptocurrency channels. The IC3 alert says scammers often impersonate banks, tech support teams, or government officials and pressure victims into believing their accounts are at risk. The tactic adds an offline step to crypto fraud, making recovery harder once funds are converted or transferred.
Telegram Restricted in India
India has restricted access to Telegram until June 22 following concerns over misuse of the platform ahead of the NEET-UG re-examination. The National Testing Agency welcomed the move, saying it was aimed at protecting exam integrity and limiting the circulation of fake question papers. The action highlights growing government pressure on messaging platforms during sensitive public examinations.
India Warns on Digital Arrest Scams
Indian officials are warning citizens about “digital arrest” scams, where fraudsters pose as police or government officers to pressure victims into transferring money. A Saviours Magazine report said impersonation of agencies such as police, CBI, ED, TRAI, and the income tax department appears in nearly 90% of complaints, while the 1930 cyber fraud helpline has helped save over Rs 4,386 crore.
BOJ Raises Rates to 1%
The Bank of Japan has raised rates to 1%, its highest level since 1995, signaling a firmer stance on inflation as Japan moves further from its long era of ultra-low borrowing costs. The decision could ripple through global markets by lifting yen yields, reducing carry trade appeal, and affecting investor positioning in equities, bonds, and crypto as liquidity conditions shift.
No Trump's Name on Kennedy Center
Judges have denied a last-minute appeal by former US President Donald Trump to keep his name on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The decision comes after Trump’s name was removed from the center’s honorees list in 2022. The Kennedy Center did not immediately comment on the ruling.
SpaceX Joins Top Bitcoin Holders
SpaceX’s Bitcoin balance has drawn market attention after reports showed the company holds 18,712 BTC, worth more than $1 billion at recent prices. The disclosure places SpaceX among major corporate holders and revives discussion around Bitcoin as a treasury asset for large technology firms, especially as investors compare its position with Tesla, Coinbase, and Strategy.
US Core CPI Climbs to 0.4% in May
U.S. core CPI rose 0.4% in May, above the 0.3% forecast and up from the previous 0.2% reading, according to the data shown. The annual consumer price index was expected to rise 4.2%, the highest in three years. The hotter inflation print may keep pressure on the Federal Reserve to stay cautious on rate cuts, while traders watch the dollar, Treasury yields, equities, and Bitcoin.
KOSDAQ Triggers Circuit Breaker After 8% Plunge
South Korea’s KOSDAQ triggered a circuit breaker after falling 8%, halting trading for 20 minutes. The sharp selloff erased billions in market value, with technology, healthcare, and industrial stocks leading losses as risk-off sentiment intensified.
