11 分钟Good morning from The Financial Times.
Today is Monday, June 15th, and this is your FT News Briefing.
The U.S. And Iran say they've reached a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
and extend a ceasefire just as President Trump heads to France for the annual G7 summit.
Plus, what does SpaceX's blockbuster stock market debut tell us about an imminent wave of tech IPOs?
So it is a great barometer of the interest and euphoria that we're seeing around AI.
I'm Victoria Craig, and here's the news you need to start your day.
Global oil prices slid 4 percent to about $84 a barrel at the start of trade today.
The drop comes after the U.S.
And Iran say they've finalized a deal to extend their ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Both sides are expected to meet in Switzerland on Friday to officially sign the truce.
President Trump said the deal would allow the vital waterway to reopen without any tolls.
He also pledged that the U.S.
Would remove its naval blockade on Iranian ports.
Immediately.
If the agreement is implemented, it could allow far more oil to transit
through the shipping lane than the trickle that's currently getting through.
Ultimately, that would help ease a global supply crunch before the war,
nearly a fifth of the world's daily crude supplies, passed through the strait.
Aside from negotiations with Tehran, diplomatic efforts of another kind are on Trump's agenda this week.
