On today's podcast:
1) The US military struck Iran for a second day, hitting about 90 targets to further degrade the Islamic Republic’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by targeting US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, according to the semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency. The attacks raise fears that the tit-for-tat attacks may derail talks on a permanent peace deal, with the US and Iran having accused each other of violating a memorandum of understanding that established a short-term truce.
2) Graham Platner suspended his US Senate campaign in Maine following a sexual assault allegation that caused his support from fellow Democrats to collapse. The Maine Democratic Party will hold a nominating convention to choose a new nominee if there is a vacancy to fill, with the process to replace Platner needing to play out before a July 27 deadline. The race to replace Senator Susan Collins is considered essential to the Democratic party's chances of taking control of the Senate, with several potential candidates taking steps to prepare for a run.
3) SK Hynix's US listing is more than seven times oversubscribed, according to people familiar with the matter, underscoring strong investor appetite despite recent volatility in the Korean memory chipmaker's shares. The sale of 177.9 million American depositary receipts has attracted demand from institutional investors including global long-only funds and sovereign wealth funds, some of the people said. The offering would raise about $24.5 billion, according to Bloomberg calculations, and would rank among the largest ever debuts in the US by a foreign company, second only to Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s $25 billion debut.
