EUR/GBP slips as ECB and BoE hold rates, but hawks stay alert now

In the daily chart, EUR/GBP trades at 0.8637, extending a bearish bias as spot remains capped beneath the cluster of simple moving averages around 0.8686 and below the descending trend-line break level at 0.8704. The latest 14-day Relative Strength Index at 34.7 hovers just above oversold territory, hinting that while bearish momentum persists, downside pressure may be losing some intensity.　　On the topside, initial resistance is located at the triple simple moving average area near 0.8686, with a further barrier at the former trend-line break level around 0.8704, which should act as a notable cap while the pair trades below it. A daily close above these successive hurdles would be needed to ease the current downward pressure and open the way for a more sustained recovery phase.

X launches major ad overhaul as everything app ambitions expand

Tech　　X launches major ad overhaul as everything app ambitions expand　　X is rolling out the most ambitious overhaul of its advertising platform in the companys 20-year history, rebuilding its Ads Manager from the ground up as Elon Musk pushes the platform deeper into payments, advertising, and AI.　　The ad platform rebuild was announced earlier today, with the phased rollout beginning this month, according to a post on X.　　The overhaul centers on three pillars: simplicity, advertiser control, and AI-powered performance. X said the new system uses modern retrieval and ranking models to understand user behavior in real time, improving ad relevance, targeting, engagement, and return on investment.　　The rebuild gives X a stronger ad tech foundation as the platform tries to regain advertiser momentum after years of turbulence under Musks ownership.　　X was expected to post its first annual ad revenue growth since Musk‘s 2022 takeover last year, though revenue remained below its pre-acquisition peak. X’s ad tools have also long been viewed as weaker than rival platforms, making the overhaul a long-needed reset.　　The new ad stack also ties directly into Xs closer integration with xAI. Monique Pintarelli, head of global advertising at xAI, said the rebuild is designed to allow faster product updates and

Blue Owl shares surge after private credit firm cites SpaceX gains

Shares of , the private credit firm at the center of recent jitters over exposure to software companies, jumped 10% in trading Thursday after executives disclosed sizable gains tied to SpaceX.　　“We made about 10 times our money on that investment,” an executive said on the firms first-quarter earnings call.　　Blue Owl has already sold roughly half its position at a $1.25 trillion valuation and continues to hold the remainder, he said.　　The call was hosted by Marc Lipschultz, co-chief executive officer, and Alan Kirshenbaum, chief financial officer. It wasnt immediately clear which executive spoke specifically about the SpaceX investment.　　The gains on SpaceX, which is headed toward what may be the largest IPO in history later this year, could offset potential losses elsewhere in Blue Owls portfolio if software companies default, the executive said.　　While private credit funds are composed mostly of loans, they can also hold preferred and common shares in companies.　　“We made a loan to the company, and had the privilege of getting to know them very well and then participating in ongoing conversations about other financing opportunities, and ultimately, in this case, an equity investment,” the Blue Owl executive said of SpaceX.　　A few minutes later, Blue Owl management noted that while
