Notes to Editors
This month we discuss an Iran ceasefire that finally won its signatures and the oil unwind that followed, Kevin Warsh’s first meeting at the Fed and the real-rate squeeze it set off, a blockbuster SpaceX debut that soared then drifted, and a memory shortage that turned an Asian semiconductor selloff into a story about demand, with a change of government in Britain and the ECB’s first hike in two years rounding out a busy month.
As dealmaking trends evolve through 2026, activity across IPO and M&A markets is accelerating.
