US Supreme Court Backs Sports Sex Rules
The Supreme Court ruled that states may allow schools to restrict participation in women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex, siding with West Virginia and Idaho in a 6-3 decision.

The ruling marks a major legal moment in the wider debate over sports, gender policy, and education law.
US Job Openings Beat Forecast
U.S. job openings came in stronger than expected in May, rising to 7.594 million versus forecasts of 7.3 million.

Crypto traders may watch the dollar and bond yields closely, as stronger labor data can reduce appetite for high-risk assets.

Korea Stocks Trigger Circuit Breaker
South Korea’s KOSPI fell more than 8%, triggering a 20-minute trading halt as semiconductor shares led a sharp market selloff.
