Starbucks has received 'a lot of interest' for China business stake, CEO tells FT
(Reuters) -Starbucks has received "a lot of interest" in the sale of a stake in its China business, its chief executive told the Financial Times in an interview published on Wednesday, as the U.S. coffee chain looks to revive sales in its second-largest market. "The good news is we've got a lot of interest — a lot of interest," Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol told the FT. "People see the value of the Starbucks brand. They see the coffee category is growing. I think they'd love to be partnering up with us in figuring out how we take this from 8,000 to 20,000 (stores)." KKR & Co, Fountainvest Partners and PAG are among buyout firms interested in acquiring a stake in Starbucks' China business, Reuters reported in February.

Japan's Longer Debt Attractive for Foreigners, Morgan Stanley Says
(Bloomberg) -- Foreign investors are looking with interest at longer-term Japanese bonds, while it remains uncertain when the government will adjust how much of the debt it sells, Morgan Stanley says. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico California Pitches Emergency Loans for LA, Local Transit Systems 'You still have a tremendous amount of supply hitting the long-end of the Japanese government bond market, which is presenting value for investors outside of Japan' from Canada to Europe to Asia, the firm's global head of macro strategy Matthew Hornbach said on Bloomberg Television. 'The Ministry of Finance, which has a slower cadence in how it adjusts its issuance program, will eventually get the message from the investor community that it needs to pare back its issuance, but exactly the time frame for that is unclear,' Hornbach said. Yields for Japan's 30-year and 40-year government bonds have recently scaled new heights as the central bank pulls back from its massive bond-buying program and major Japanese financial institutions fail to fill in the gap. But global funds bought a record amount of Japan's super-long government bonds in April for a third straight month. There is speculation that Japan will adjust its issuance or buy back some of the debt to calm investor nerves. Hornbach said he expects long-term US Treasury yields and the dollar to move lower over time as the negative impacts of tariffs start coming through more clearly. He added that even if Japan's bonds can't hold down yields globally, central bank policies around the world should eventually bring down yields. 'Japanese government bond yields, for the large majority of my career in markets, were seen as the anchor point for global duration,' Hornbach says. 'Even though Japanese government bonds may no longer be considered the global anchor for bond markets, other central banks are acting in ways that I think ultimately lead to lower interest rates around the world.'

Ether Roars Past $2,700; Popular Trader Declares ‘Beast Mode'
Ether (ETH) ETH began the 24-hour session around $2,576 in early Asian trading, briefly dipped to $2,562 on light volume, then saw buying interest surge around 21:00 UTC on June 9 as turnover topped 436,000 coins, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model. A second wave of demand just before 11:00 UTC on June 10 drove ether through the $2,700 barrier to a 24-hour high of $2,783; by press time it was trading at $2,744.87, up 6.54 percent on 560,900 coins (US$1.51 billion) moved. Social sentiment has turned decidedly bullish. A popular trader on X said the move amounted to ether entering a true 'beast mode' phase after brushing aside $1,500 and $2,200 barriers and forecast further upside toward $4,000 and beyond. In an X thread on June 3, Consensys founder Joseph Lubin portrayed Etheruem as a nonstop settlement layer that processed over $25 trillion in transactions last year and serves as the backbone for stablecoins, tokenized assets, native yield and DeFi. He added that a $425 million private placement into SharpLink Gaming (SBET) aims to expose traditional investors to those yield opportunities. Meanwhile, in a market note, QCP Capital pointed to the advancing GENIUS Act, renewed buzz around Circle's IPO and increasing regulatory clarity for stablecoins as converging tailwinds that could drive outsized structural gains for Ether's tokenization and settlement rails. On-chain fundamentals also bolster the bullish case: staked ether recently reached a record 34.65 million tokens — locking up roughly 28.7 percent of supply — and may tighten bids around current support near $2,720. Technical Analysis Highlights Ether staged two volume-backed breakouts: first above $2,600 on June 9 (436K ETH traded), then above $2,700 on June 10 (560.9K ETH). A clear series of higher lows and higher highs underpins a strong uptrend from $2,562 to $2,783. A high-volume supply zone now sits at $2,796, marking near-term resistance. A double-bottom formed between $2,720–$2,740 may support consolidation before the next leg higher.
