BHP Group Ltd Stock Rises Against ASX Slump as Copper Bets Blunt Brazil Dam Risk

BHP Group Ltd edged higher in Sydney trading Monday, bucking a broader selloff that pushed the Australian market lower. Shares finished at A$58.33, gaining 0.66%, just shy of their 52-week peak at A$59.39. The S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.49% to end at 8,701.80. The shift stands out, with no new exchange filing to account for it. ASX records list zero BHP announcements between May 6 and May 12. The shares are instead reacting to recent management remarks, news out of China’s iron ore market, and ongoing legal risk—not any fresh company statement.

Netflix’s ‘Legends’ Review Buzz Puts Steve Coogan’s True-Crime Thriller in the Spotlight

Netflix’s “Legends” kicked off its initial week after launch with a renewed marketing drive and mostly upbeat first reactions, turning attention to Steve Coogan’s rare straight crime role just days after all six episodes dropped. According to the streamer, the show centers on regular British Customs agents who go undercover against drug rings in 1990s Britain. The timing is notable: “Legends” hands Netflix a tight, six-episode British true-crime entry—this time featuring a real state operation instead of the usual fictional police work, plus a recognizable lead. The streamer is pushing creator Neil Forsyth’s name out front, aiming to cast the series as something bigger than a standard drug-gang drama.

Bitcoin Holds $82,000 Line as Iran Tensions and Crypto Bill Put Rally to the Test

Bitcoin hovered just above $82,000 on Monday, giving up some ground after the weekend’s rebound faded. Traders kept an eye on fresh U.S.-Iran tensions while also digesting talk that Washington may inch toward a crypto market framework this week. Recently, bitcoin traded at $82,034, up 0.7% for the day, following an intraday high of $82,394. Bitcoin is once more brushing up against a tricky technical and policy threshold. The cryptocurrency pushed up toward its 200-day moving average—sitting around $82,000, a key level for chart watchers, according to TradingView—but after two unsuccessful tries, it retreated again.

CSL Limited Share Price Plunge: Why a $5 Billion Writedown Hammered the ASX Biotech Giant

CSL Limited shares tumbled 16% on Monday, closing at A$100.75—after dipping under A$100 intraday, a level not seen in nearly ten years. The Australian blood-products and vaccine manufacturer slashed its forecast for fiscal 2026 and warned of around US$5 billion in fresh non-cash, pre-tax impairments. These writedowns hit asset values but don’t drain cash right away. This wasn’t just a regular earnings update. Interim Chief Executive Gordon Naylor delivered his 90-day review since stepping in back in February, spotlighting Vifor—the business CSL acquired for US$11.7 billion in 2022—right back in the thick of the company’s issues.

Samsung’s Free One UI 8.5 Upgrade Hits Galaxy S24 Phones As Global Rollout Widens

Samsung is pushing out the stable One UI 8.5 update to Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra owners in South Korea, marking the latest expansion of a software rollout kicked off earlier this month. According to SamMobile, the firmware—version S92xNKSU5DZOP—lands at over 4GB for those upgrading from the existing stable One UI. This shift is notable—Samsung is putting features that debuted on its latest Galaxy models into some older high-end phones. One UI, the company's Android skin, hits version 8.5 and spreads more Galaxy AI capabilities, tweaks to design, and updated privacy tools across both phones and tablets. Those additions aren’t just for the newest devices anymore.

Air France-KLM Name Could Disappear as SAS Deal Pushes ‘Blue Group’ Rebrand Talk

Air France-KLM hasn’t made a call yet on whether to rebrand the group, following Dutch media speculation that its bid for control of SAS might push the Franco-Dutch airline toward a more neutral label like “The Blue Group.” The company described group name talks as “only logical,” given plans to expand its portfolio of brands, in comments to AeroTime. NL Times, referencing De Telegraaf, noted the Air France-KLM name could vanish from the holding’s identity. Timing is key here: SAS is on track to shift from being a partner to a potential subsidiary. Air France-KLM is set to ramp up its ownership in SAS, eyeing a jump to 60.5% from its current 19.9% stake by purchasing shares from Castlelake and

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Plan Just Got Clearer: Split Launch, Satellite 5G And A Camera Bet

Apple is gearing up for a staggered iPhone release: the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone are slated to arrive in September, while the standard iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e won’t debut until spring 2027. If that timing holds, this fall’s event will lean harder into high-end models than Apple typically does in September. Timing is key here. With WWDC just weeks away, Apple is about to outline the next iPhone’s software—and in just a few months, a major leadership shift hits. Tim Cook moves to executive chairman, John Ternus steps in as CEO on Sept. 1, the company confirmed. If the iPhone does launch in September, it lands right in Ternus’s lap as

India Rejects Sanctioned Russian LNG, Stranding Tanker as Energy Crunch Deepens

India has turned down Russia’s attempt to supply liquefied natural gas from projects hit by U.S. sanctions, two people directly involved told Reuters. With the cargo bound for India now lacking a destination, negotiations are still ongoing for shipments New Delhi could accept without violating sanctions. LNG—short for liquefied natural gas—is simply natural gas cooled to liquid for shipping by sea. This decision carries real weight as India looks to maintain fuel supplies. Middle East turmoil has driven energy prices higher and put pressure on the rupee. The country, which ranks third globally in oil imports and consumption, sources over 90% of its crude from other nations and imports about half its natural gas.

Singapore Airlines Just Made UK-Asia Flights Easier From Manchester And Gatwick

Starting July 13, Singapore Airlines is bumping up its Manchester-Singapore route to daily service, and by Oct. 25, London Gatwick will see two Singapore flights each day. The carrier is ramping up UK capacity in line with a broader push across Europe. This also broadens its UK footprint, since Singapore Airlines already operates four daily flights to London Heathrow. SIA’s move comes as the carrier ramps up European capacity just as airlines adjust long-haul timetables for the late-2026 winter season. UK travelers will see an uptick in direct flights to Singapore Changi, a key stop for connections throughout Asia and Australia.

Alstom’s Next Shock May Be a Deeper Overhaul as Cash Pressure Meets New Train Orders

This week, Alstom steps into a pivotal moment as Martin Sion gets ready to deliver his first set of annual results at the helm. French media are already speculating about the likelihood of bigger industrial shakeups ahead, even as the Belfort plant pushes ahead with train production for Velvet—a fresh private rival to SNCF. The clock is ticking for Alstom. Demand isn’t the issue here: the company logged a record 27.6 billion euros in orders, with its backlog topping 100 billion euros for the year through March. But execution is biting — missed deadlines on train production, certification, and delivery are piling up, squeezing cash flow as projects lag.

Vivo is bringing its X300 Ultra and X300 FE to Indian stores on May 14, just days after their local debut.

India’s smartphone shipments slipped 5% year on year to 30.9 million units in the first quarter, according to Omdia, with soft demand and wary stocking from dealers running into higher component prices. Vivo remained the front-runner at 20% market share, a position that lets it push upscale, while smaller brands find themselves squeezed.
