Markets & Rates: US stocks slid again as bond yields jumped, with the 30-year Treasury hitting the highest level since 2007—oil and Iran risk are feeding inflation fears and keeping investors cautious. G7 Economics: Finance ministers met in Paris and agreed the Strait of Hormuz must reopen, while also pushing coordinated action on trade imbalances and public-debt concerns—though concrete steps stayed thin. Germany’s Corporate Pulse: Varta will cut 350 jobs and stop making button cells in Noerdlingen after losing a key customer, with future supply shifting to China. Housing & Confidence: Housing sentiment in New Zealand (a non-German datapoint in this feed) weakened as rates and inflation expectations rose—an echo of the broader “higher-for-longer” mood hitting households. Energy Security & Shipping: NATO is reportedly discussing options to help ships if Hormuz stays blocked past early July, underscoring how geopolitics is turning into logistics planning. Business Travel: Air Uniqon plans a new Berlin–Sylt direct route for summer 2026, cutting travel time sharply for leisure demand.
