SpaceX, el gigante aeroespacial y de inteligencia artificial del multimillonario Elon Musk, ha prohibido a los inversionistas de Hong Kong y China continental comprar sus acciones con motivo de su salida a bolsa este viernes 12 de junio, una restricción poco habitual que pone de manifiesto lo sensibles que se han vuelto, desde el punto de vista geopolítico, los intrincados mercados financieros mundiales. Sin embargo, los inversionistas chinos parecen más que dispuestos a realizar inversiones arriesgadas en criptomonedas supuestamente respaldadas por empresas estadounidenses para no dejarse escapar la oferta pública inicial (OPI) del siglo.

Has Russia given up on Kinburn Spit, its westernmost foothold in Ukraine?

At the start of the war in Ukraine, the Russian capture of Kinburn Spit – a narrow piece of land that holds the key to several Ukrainian ports – was hailed as one of Moscow’s most significant victories on the southern front.
