SpaceX shares fell 5% to $147 in premarket trading on June 23, slipping below their first-day opening price of $150. The move wiped about $40 billion in market value in a single session and more than $60 billion over three days. Over the same period, Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 2.6% and S&P 500 futures fell 1.4% after reports that South Korea’s SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics paused AI chip capacity expansion. SpaceX is not publicly listed, but its secondary-market trading has been viewed as a barometer of cooling sentiment across AI-related stocks.

Global precious metals sold off sharply, with spot gold down as much as 1.2% to below $4,140 an ounce and silver sinking 2.8% to $63.25, while platinum and palladium also fell. The move was driven by stickier-than-expected U.S. inflation, hawkish comments from Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee and former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, and a firmer dollar. Gold is down roughly 20% since late February and silver has slid more than 30%. Investors are now waiting for the U.S. PCE price index due later this week to gauge the interest-rate path.

SpaceX shares extended a three-day slide, falling 16% in the latest session and erasing nearly $600 billion in market value. The stock has retreated from a post-listing peak of $225 to $154.6, still about 15% above its IPO price of $135. The company is reportedly planning a first-time investment-grade bond sale of at least $20 billion to fund expansion of its artificial intelligence initiatives, though it has not confirmed the final size. Retail investors have continued to buy, but demand has softened compared with earlier sessions.

The Iran war’s surge in oil prices is speeding up China’s shift toward electric vehicles, with fully electric registrations rising to almost 42% of the total in April. Analysts estimate China may permanently lose 300,000 to 600,000 barrels a day of transportation fuel demand, and crude imports are expected to fall by 3.3 million barrels a day this quarter from a year earlier. The International Energy Agency says China’s average oil demand is set to drop by 360,000 barrels a day this year, the first meaningful annual decline since the oil crises of the 1970s and early 1980s.

SpaceX, while still private, sold fund interests through U.S. intermediary Tomales Bay Capital to more than a dozen investors from mainland China, Hong Kong and Russia, including Chinese businessman David Su, whose VC firm MPCi previously backed Chinese space companies later sanctioned by Washington, ProPublica reported. SpaceX has explicitly barred investors from China and Hong Kong from participating in its IPO, citing regulatory risks. There is no evidence the investors received nonpublic information, and U.S. authorities have not announced new sanctions or contract review measures.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the deployment of Israeli forces in a security zone in southern Lebanon, saying operations would continue to address threats from Hezbollah and Iran. He said the United States would respond in a similar way if it faced comparable attacks along its border. The remarks were delivered during US-Iran talks in Switzerland and did not announce any new military action, targets or timetable, instead reiterating existing policy. The statements did not trigger an immediate escalation in cross-border fire or reported damage to key infrastructure, and they have no direct pricing linkage to major equities, commodities or indices.

Gold has fallen for three straight weeks and is more than a fifth below its late-February peak, trading around $4,161 an ounce. US President Donald Trump issued a fresh threat to strike Iran, but investors’ attention has shifted to Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh’s hawkish messaging at his first policy meeting last week. Traders are also watching the US personal consumption expenditures price index due Thursday, with expectations for an acceleration that could bolster rate-hike bets. A stronger dollar and higher real yields have weighed on non-interest-bearing assets, muting the geopolitical risk premium.

Iran said it will press the United States in Switzerland over Israel's continued military operations in Lebanon, which Tehran says breach a ceasefire agreed earlier this week. The talks, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, are also set to cover Iran’s frozen assets and licences for the sale of Iranian oil. The renewed tensions risk undermining implementation of the agreement and adding to geopolitical risks in the Middle East. While no immediate changes to output or supply disruptions were cited, the developments have heightened concerns over the stability of oil supply.
