Episode Details

In today’s Slotly News daily briefing for June 11, 2026, we walk through a busy session for global markets as US equity futures rebound from a sharp midweek sell‑off, even as the conflict between the United States and Iran continues and new inflation data keeps central banks on edge. We examine the latest US CPI and labor market figures, and what they mean for Kevin Warsh’s first Federal Reserve meeting next week, including the growing prospect that the Fed will scale back or scrap its long‑standing “dot plot” guidance.

The episode also covers the European Central Bank’s expected rate hike, the Bank of England’s stance ahead of its decision, and the Bank of Japan’s cautious path away from ultra‑easy policy. We discuss shifting growth dynamics in China, Japan, the euro area, and the UK, and how these trends are feeding into bond yields, currencies, and energy prices.

On the corporate side, we look at the upcoming SpaceX IPO, Oracle’s data‑center spending concerns, recent semiconductor volatility, major M&A deals, and developments in digital securities infrastructure. We finish by connecting these threads into a broader view of how investors are pricing risk in a higher‑rate, geopolitically sensitive world.
