Asian shares mixed and oil prices stay high over Iran-Israel crisis
Asian shares were mixed and oil prices remained high on Wednesday as investors closely tracked the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. US benchmark crude oil was down around 0.43% at $74.52 per barrel in the afternoon in Asia — or the morning in Europe. Brent crude, the international standard, slipped around 0.43% at $76.12, although both WTI and Brent remain high on the month. Crude prices rose more than 4% on Tuesday after US President Donald Trump left a Group of Seven summit in Canada early and warned that people in Iran's capital should evacuate immediately. Within about eight hours, Trump went from suggesting a nuclear deal with Iran remained 'achievable' to urging Tehran's 9.5 million residents to flee for their lives. Iran and Israel continued to exchange air strikes on Wednesday. The fighting has driven prices for crude oil and gasoline higher because Iran is a major oil exporter and it sits on the narrow Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world's crude passes. Past conflicts in the area have caused spikes in oil prices, though they've historically proven brief after showing that they did not disrupt the flow of oil.

Explosions ring out in Tehran as Israel says it struck a centrifuge site overnight Japan, meanwhile, reported that its exports fell in May as the auto industry was hit by Trump's higher tariffs, with exports to the US falling more than 11%. But Tokyo's Nikkei 225 jumped 0.78% to 38,837.48. Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 1.17% to 23,698.65 while the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.3% to 3,388.77. The Kospi in Seoul gained 0.54% to 2,966.20 while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.1% to 8,533.10. On Tuesday, US stocks slumped under the weight of higher oil prices and weaker than expected retail sales in May. Trump raised the temperature on Israel's fight with Iran by calling for 'Unconditional surrender!' on his social media platform and saying, 'We are not going to' kill Iran's leader, 'at least for now'. The S&P 500 fell 0.84% to 5,982.72 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.7% to 42,215.80. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.91% to 19,521.09. On early Wednesday morning in the US, S&P futures rose 0.11% to 5,991.50, Dow Jones futures increased less than 1% to 42,245.00, while Nasdaq futures advanced by 0.13% to 21,759.00. The markets will be looking to the Federal Reserve as it makes a decision on its interest rates today. The nearly unanimous expectation among traders and economists is that the Fed will make no move. In currency trading early on Wednesday, the US dollar fell 0.2% to 144.94 Japanese yen. The euro edged 0.18% higher, to $1.1502.

China's Rare Earth Exports Slump in May as Magnet Sales Curbed
China's exports of rare earth products — including powerful magnets now at the heart of tensions with the US — slumped to a fresh five-year low in May as Beijing's export curbs choked flows. The data for last month shows the extent to which export controls in place since early April had curbed shipments, before a US-China meeting to resolve the restrictions. A shortage of vital magnets has threatened industries including car making from the US to Europe and India.

PBOC Chief Envisions New World Currency Order After Dollar Reign
(Bloomberg) -- People's Bank of China Governor Pan Gongsheng laid out in the clearest terms yet his vision of a new global currency order after decades of dollar dominance, predicting a more competitive system will take root in the years to come. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space How E-Scooters Conquered (Most of) Europe Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads 'In the future, the global monetary system could continue to evolve toward a situation where a few sovereign currencies co-exist, compete and check and balance each other,' Pan said Wednesday in a keynote speech at the annual Lujiazui Forum in Shanghai. Pan said there have been discussions around the world on how to reduce excessive reliance on a single currency, adding that the yuan's global status has risen in recent years. Confidence in the US is waning after months of President Donald Trump's erratic policymaking. Investors have been trimming dollar holdings of late, prompting European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to talk about a potential 'global euro moment.' Since Trump reclaimed the White House this year, the dollar has lost more than 10% of its value against the euro, pound and Swiss franc and is down against every single major currency in the world. Pan referenced comments from the ECB as saying the US dollar's dominance is increasingly uncertain and the euro may play a more important role globally. Lagarde made a rare visit to Beijing last week and held talks with Premier Li Qiang, as China's No. 2 official called for greater cooperation between his country and the ECB. China has also been positioning the yuan as a rival to the US dollar. It's an extension of efforts by President Xi Jinping to build China into a financial power with a currency that's stable enough to play a rising role in global trade, especially as tensions with the US erupted during Trump's second term. The tariff risks this year have intensified that initiative, with some US exporters asking for settlement in alternative currencies, including the yuan, to contain the impact of the dollar's swings, according to an official at US Bancorp. On Wednesday, Pan opened the speech by announcing several measures that will be implemented in Shanghai to open up China's financial markets and promote its currency's global reach. The effort includes setting up an operations center to advance the digital yuan's internationalization and exploring yuan futures trading, which would increase the variety of products available for currency traders. The PBOC will also encourage trade companies to issue offshore bonds in the city. Pan also addressed countries whose currencies are widely used around the world, calling on them to shoulder their responsibilities by pushing for economic structural reforms and strengthening domestic fiscal discipline and financial regulation. The global monetary system's evolution toward a more multi-polar pattern can make it more resilient, according to Pan. It's also beneficial to global financial stability, and can push countries to improve their policy discipline, he said. One of the options is to promote a super-sovereign currency, and International Monetary Fund reserve assets known as special drawing rights, or SDRs, have been considered a choice, according to Pan. But there's a lack of consensus on promoting them as an international currency, and there needs to be more regular and larger issuance of SDRs in order to achieve it since the asset is now primarily used in times of crisis, he said. The global cross-border payment system is meanwhile becoming more diverse, as an increasing number of countries promote settlement with their own currencies, according to Pan. 'The situation where a single sovereign currency dominates cross-border payment is changing gradually,' Pan said. (Updates with Pan's comments starting in sixth paragraph.)
