Healthcare / Biotech ACF desk line: UK healthcare has bid optionality, European pharma has defensive quality, biotech still only (mostly) gets paid for proof, rather than promise.

Iran and Hormuz - interesting development as first thing this morning Iran said it was reviewing and that it would not give way on red lines...which frankly, did not sound that promising, so the nature of the deal will be of interest, has the US (read POTUS) effectively been worn down?
BREAKING : US President Donald Trump suggested that a deal could be signed as early as this weekend, stating that negotiations had reached the highest levels of Iran's leadership and had gained support from regional powers. 🔗 Read the full update here: share-talk.com/what-happened…

The FTSE 100 opened sharply higher on Friday 📈 London's blue-chip index climbed 89 points within the first 15 minutes of trading to reach 10,392.88, while the more domestically focused FTSE 250 rose 1.2% to 23,240.55. Market sentiment was lifted by hopes that a resolution to the conflict in the Middle East could be drawing closer.
London markets are poised for a positive start on Friday after easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East lifted global investor sentiment and pushed oil prices sharply lower.

In other news....Healthcare / Biotech - UK healthcare still has corporate-action heat: Spire Healthcare $SPI.L gets Toscafund deadline pushed to 25 Jun; UK GDP - pharma manufac = bright spot in a weak Apr print. big-cap remains the shelter. $AZN $NVO $SNY $RBO.PA $ABVX $NCYT
ACFMorningMeeting - Spaced Race. SpaceX $SPCX starts trading today after the biggest IPO ever, raising $75bn at $135/share and a $1.77trkn valuation, while Trump’s Iran peace-deal tease has crushed oil to two-month lows. Asia ripped, Europe opened strongly, and whilst this is still hope and SpaceX IPO excitement, it is not peace in the bank (yet, notwithstanding breaking news). Opens - Europe / UK - sharpkly firmer indicated. USA ftrs ve after Wall St rally. Asia strong, led by Korea and Japan. $STOXX $FTSE $FTMC $DAX $CAC $DJI $GSPC $IXIC Stock Watch - SpaceX $SPCX is the market event. Tesla $TSLA and Alphabet $GOOG watch for read-across / ownership optics. AI and IPO animal spirits are alive, but flag rotation risk for yourself as investors make room for $SPCX. Healthcare still has a live UK angle: Spire $SPI deadline extended and GSK $GSK still digesting Nuvalent $NUVL. Commods - Brent $88.3 bbl, WTI $85.8 bbl, GOLD spot $4,182 toz. COPPER $6.35 lb, still rich. COCOA $3,798 MT, still heavy. Data Focus - UK GDP -0.1% in April, but 0.7% over three months, Keir Starmer UK defence credibility crisis, probably is the last stumble. Michigan sentiment later. Today’s real equation: SpaceX animal spirits plus oil relief versus whether the Iran deal is actually real.

ECB turns hawkish again: ECB ▲rates 25bps, its 1st hike since 2023, citing Iran-driven energy inflation risks from Hormuz Strait disruptions. Inflation frcsts ▲to 3.0% for 2026 & 2.3% for 2027. $INTC 9% on BofA upgrade to Buy & ▲ its price target to $135 from $96. ACFview
ACFMarketWrap: Markets shake off rate fears, but geopolitics keeps traders on edge - US equities bounced from one-month lows, with the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq ~( 0.45%) as strength in tech offset concerns over higher rates. Fresh PPI data signalled accelerating price pressures in May, reinforcing expectations that the Fed could still hike this year, while President Trump said the US will resume strikes on Iran tonight and target Kharg Island, raising the stakes in the Middle East. AI-linked infrastructure names remained resilient as anticipation builds ahead of the SpaceX IPO, highlighting continued hyperscalers’ spending on compute capacity. $INTC surged 9% after a BofA upgrade tied to strong CPU demand, while $ORCL tumbled 12% as investors reacted to plans for increased borrowing to fund data centre expansion despite flat sales. The Mag 7 were mixed: $TSLA ( 1.17%), $NVDA ( 0.15%), $AMZN (-0.34%), $GOOG (-2.38%), $META (-1.78%), $AAPL ( 0.01%) and $MSFT (-2.39%). In Europe, investors digested escalating US-Iran tensions and an ECB rate hike @ 2.4% (vs 2.15% prev.) alongside higher inflation forecasts and weaker growth projections. $SAP (-4.5%) remained under pressure, $DTE.DE (-3.0%) on a potential combination with $TMUS ( 0.8%). Energy and utilities outperformed, led by $ENR.DE ( 6.0%) and $BAYN.DE ( 1.19%). $SAP (-4.5%) remained under pressure, while chipmakers outperformed with $ASML ( 5%), $IFX.DE ( 2.6%) and $STM ( 5.9%) advancing on continued AI optimism. Luxury names also found buyers, with $MC ( 1.5%) higher and $BOSS.DE ( 9%) surging after major shareholder $FRAS.L launched a $2bn takeover bid.

Quantum Data Energy (QDE.L) has taken a major step toward resolving the uncertainty created by Crowe’s last-minute resignation. Parker Russell UK LLP is now appointed, the FY25 audit has restarted, and the path toward results publication and trading restoration is back in motion. No public s519 explanation, no evidence of operational deterioration, and no change to underlying fundamentals—attention now turns to audit completion and readmission to market.

GSK dropping $10bn on Nuvalent tells you everything about UK pipeline. Buy what you can't build at home.
ACFMorningMeeting - 'Now you see it...no you don't' - Global magic show hides the peace rabbit again. Fresh U.S.-Iran strikes push oil back up, Asia takes another bruising, and Europe opens into a market that wants less risk, more liquidity and fewer 'promises'. AI is still able to pose as a long-term bid, but this morning geopolitics is naturally enough the dominant part of the tape's equation. Opens - Europe / UK - weaker tone. USA ftrs softer. Asia hit hard, led by Korea and tech. $STOXX $FTSE $FTMC $DAX $CAC $DJI $GSPC $IXIC Stock Watch - Watch the AI complex for whether buyers defend the theme after another ugly Asia session. In Europe, banks and defensives may hold up better than cyclicals if the oil/dollar squeeze persists. Healthcare stays live in the wake and wash of the GSK $GSK’s $10bn cash Nuvalent $NUVL deal put pipeline M&A back on the screen. $NVDA $AMD $TSM $ASML $GSK Commods - Brent $92.1 bbl, $WTI $88.8 bbl, GOLD $4,205 toz. COPPER $6.2 lb area, still rich but off the highs. COCOA around $3.7k MT, still a reset trade not a squeeze trade. Data Focus - U.S. CPI is the next macro hurdle, but today the market is trading strikes, stockpiles and whether Hormuz gets any closer to normal.

Healthcare dynamics - GSK $GSK is trying to rebuild oncology after years of underweight exposure, $NUVL deal gives late-stage lung-cancer assets just as patent cliffs and growth gaps push large pharma back toward external pipeline. $GSK is not alone and not just in cancer.

Agreed with @Mayhem4Markets analysis and caution - see below
If it wasn't for open-weight models, the large AI companies would already have full control. It would be 100% opaque and gatekept. Fable 5 is a preview of that incredibly dystopian future. It becomes reality if open-weight models do not continue to advance. It's also a dangerous future for national security. To let a handful of companies completely control AI. We can't let that happen.

ACFMorningMeeting - Space - The Final Pricing Frontier. SpaceX prices tonight, Oracle $ORCL has reminded everyone AI is not free, oil is back near $95, and Europe is trying to trade higher through a global tech wobble. The tape is not risk-on; it is risk-selective (which means stock picking rather than index trading). Opens - Europe / UK - modestly firmer in cash, but cautious. USA ftrs mixed. Asia weaker as tech sells off. $STOXX $FTSE $FTMC $DAX $CAC $DJI $GSPC $IXIC Stock Watch - SpaceX dominates media channels with the IPO spotlight. Oracle $ORCL is the AI capex warning after its post-close slide. In Europe, Hugo Boss $BOSS.DE jumps on Frasers’ takeover approach, Wizz Air $WIZZ.L rallies on profits, while easyJet $EZJ.L and Lufthansa $LHA.DE are hit by oil. Healthcare still live after GSK $GSK / Nuvalent $NUVL offer. Commods - Brent $94.6 bbl, WTI $90-91 bbl, GOLD softer, COPPER $6.22 lb, still rich but cooling. COCOA $3,744 MT, still heavy. Data Focus - ECB day, U.S. PPI, UK debt auctions. Market equation: SpaceX animal spirits versus Oracle capex reality, with oil and rates still putting holes in buoyancy.

Inflation reaccelerates: US May CPI ▲ to 4.2% y/y (vs 3.8%), the highest since Apr-23, driven by energy ( 23.5%) as Iran-related supply shocks pushed gasoline up 40.5%. Core CPI ▲to 2.9% y/y, but ▲ just 0.2% m/m. $AMZN -1.51% expands LTL shipping. ACFview
ACFMarketMeeting: Risk-off tone grips markets - AI valuation concerns sparked another wave of selling across tech, pushing US and European equities lower as investors weighed softer-than-feared inflation data against rising oil prices and escalating US-Iran tensions. The S&P 500 ▼ 0.89%, the Nasdaq ▼ 1.35% and the Dow ▼280 points, with $NVDA (-2.4%), $AVGO (-3.9%), $MU (-3.5%) and $ORCL (-2.4%) among the notable laggards. The Mag 7 were broadly weaker, with $TSLA (-2.96%), $AMZN (-1.81%), $GOOG (-0.34%), $META (-1.33%), $AAPL (-0.13%) and $MSFT (-0.11%) all trading in the red. While May CPI ▲ 4.2% y/y as expct and core CPI ▲ just 0.2% m/m, helping ease concerns that higher energy costs are spreading through the economy, markets continue to fully price in a 25bp Fed rate hike in December. In Germany, the DAX ▼ below 24,270 to its lowest level since mid-May, led lower by $SAP (-5.0%), while $DTE ( 1.4%), $FRE ( 1.4%) and $ADS ( 1.3%) bucked the trend. Energy stocks outperformed as $WTI climbed to $90.34/bbl following a larger-than-expected 7.228m barrel draw in US crude inventories, extending a seven-week streak of declines. FTSE 100 0.27%.

Europe Healthcare / Biotech - pipeline matters. GSK $GSK buying $NUVL keeps oncology M&A live. The obesity race keeps $AZN, $NVO, Sanofi $SNY and Roche $RBO.PA strategically relevant. Big-cap quality can still protect capital; biotech must deliver data. $ABVX $ALC $SPI $NCYT

SpaceX - the most interesting part of the AI valued (mostly hot air part and a bit rickety) business is its space segment. See more on Space segment below @Share_Talk
Given we are going to be treated to one of the greatest IPOs in history in the same sector that @seraphim_space occupies, the timing of the latest RNS could not have been better. Indeed, inclusion in the FTSE 250 index also underlines how hot this area is currently, with #SSIT being a leading proxy. share-talk.com/rns-hotlist-w… @ZaksTradersCafe

Iran War situation continues to escalate overnight with back-and-forth attacks between the US and Iran. The idea that we'll see any "deal" or meaningful peace talks get farther and farther away the more this continues. Unfortunately this is going to start to cause global supply chain shortages later this summer in a number of key areas.
