Vodafone Ukraine launches university 5G open space
Deployed using Nokia equipment, the 5G network provides stable indoor coverage across the first and second floors of KAI's main academic building in Kyiv. The zone is open to the public and accessible to anyone with one of the operator's SIM cards and a 5G-compatible device.
In its announcement, Vodafone Ukraine explained that until now 5G infrastructure in Ukraine has largely been limited to operator offices and industrial testbeds. The installation at KAI marks the first deployment of the technology on a university campus, offering students, the organisation and visitors direct access to advanced connectivity.
Vodafone Ukraine CEO Olga Ustinova said 'a similar open 5G zone already operates in our Kyiv office, and we are happy to share cutting-edge technologies with the next generation of engineers, inventors, and entrepreneurs,' adding the operator continues to gear up for a wider 5G rollout.
In addition to the 5G zone, Vodafone Ukraine and KAI are launching a joint master's program in Big Data and Data Science, with training provided by industry specialists from the former's Big Data Lab. The partners also plan to establish a large-scale research lab with advanced technology on campus.

UK competition regulator clears Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems merger
Britain's competition regulator said on Friday it had cleared Boeing's planned acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems after deciding against an in-depth investigation into whether the deal would be anti-competitive. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority did not provide details in its initial statement, which said the probe would not go to a so-called "phase 2". The full text of its decision would be published shortly, it said. The watchdog had started its initial investigation in June and had a deadline of August 28 for a decision. Boeing and Spirit did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. The planemaker had agreed to buy back Spirit AeroSystems for $4.7 billion in stock last year, marking an end to a near-two-decade independence of the world's largest standalone aerostructures company.

Stocks nudge up, investors eye Fed revamp; gold jumps
SINGAPORE/LONDON - Global shares rose on Friday, along with the dollar, as investors clung to the view that U.S. rates may fall further this year, and gold futures rallied on reports of duties on U.S. imports of bullion bars, most of which come from Switzerland. An index of world stocks traded near record highs, shrugging off weakness on Wall Street overnight, while in Europe, shares got a lift from a spate of robust earnings and from optimism that the hefty U.S. tariffs that kicked in on Thursday would be subject to negotiation. The outlook for monetary policy in the United States, a linchpin for global markets, has been further thrown into question by a series of changes at the Federal Reserve, where policymakers are divided on the impact of inflation and the central bank's leadership is shifting. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would nominate Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Stephen Miran to fill a vacant seat at the Fed for a few months while the White House seeks a permanent addition to the central bank's governing board and continues its search for a new chair. Miran holds similar views to Trump, who has berated Chair Jerome Powell for being "too late" in cutting interest rates, even though growth is holding up and inflation is ticking higher. "It locks in a vote for rate cuts at all the meetings between now and the end of January," said Ray Attrill, head of FX strategy at National Australia Bank in Sydney. "Markets are already travelling with a very strong expectation that there will be a rate cut," he added. "Though there's a question mark over whether he'll succeed in ratification in time for the September meeting." The MSCI All-Country index was up 0.12% on the day, just below record-highs struck two weeks ago, and was heading for a 2% rise this week, its best performance since mid-June. Europe's STOXX 600 was up 0.25%, led by gains in pharma and technology shares. Zurich's SMI index, which on Thursday shrugged off Switzerland's 39% U.S. tariff coming into effect, was up another 0.25% on Friday morning. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 2% and the Topix index climbed more than 1% to a fresh record, trading above 3,000 for the first time. The market is also digesting a Bloomberg News report that Fed Governor Christopher Waller is the top candidate to replace Chair Jerome Powell, whose term ends on May 15, 2026. U.S. gold futures hit a record high after a report in the Financial Times that the United States had imposed tariffs on imports of 1-kg gold bars, which comprise the bulk of Switzerland's bullion exports to the U.S., citing a letter from Customs and Border Protection. Spot gold edged up 0.1% to $3,400 an ounce, while gold futures rose as much as 2.3% to an all-time peak of $3,477. U.S. stock futures were both up 0.2%, pointing to a modest rise at the opening bell later. The rally for stocks comes "against the backdrop of an emerging titanic dovish pivot at the Federal Reserve," said Tony Sycamore, market analyst at IG in Sydney. The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes rose to 4.2442%, unchanged from the U.S. close on Thursday, after weak demand at an auction of 30-year bonds, the latest in a string of lacklustre sales this week. The dollar rose 0.1% against the yen to 147.24. As the effective date of recent U.S. trade duties arrived, Tokyo's trade negotiator said the U.S. government on Thursday promised it would fine-tune some of its overlapping tariffs on Japanese goods to avoid the duties being paid on some products twice. The euro dipped 0.2% to $1.1648, having gained 2.13% in a month, while the dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of currencies of other major trading partners, was up 0.2% at 98.21.

Binance teams up with BBVA to let customers keep assets off exchange, FT reports
Binance is working with Spanish bank BBVA to allow customers to hold their assets off the crypto exchange, Financial Times reported on Friday. The Spanish bank is working as one of only a small number of independent custodians for the world's biggest crypto exchange, the report added, citing two people familiar with the matter. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. BBVA did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment while Binance could not immediately be reached. The move comes as Binance faces heightened regulatory scrutiny worldwide and as crypto exchanges seek to reassure investors about fund safety in the wake of FTX's 2022 collapse. Last February, U.S. authorities fined Binance more than $4.3 billion penalty for violating federal anti-money laundering and sanctions laws through lapses in internal controls at the company, while its founder and chief executive Changpeng Zhao was sentenced to four months in prison.
