Here’s what you need to know about the markets before you start your business day.
1. Trump on tour: The G7 summit ended in chaos. Will talks between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un be more productive?
Trump refused to endorse a joint communique with America’s closest allies as the G7 summit in Quebec exposed deep divisions over trade. Trump continued to tweet complaints about G7 allies overnight.
Market reaction has so far been muted. European markets opened higher on Monday, following a mixed trading session in Asia. US stock futures were pointing higher.
Investor attention will now shift to Singapore, where Trump is preparing for a high-stakes meeting with the North Korean leader on Tuesday.

On Monday, it said it has agreed with Boeing ( BA) and regulators to carry out a one-off inspection of its Trent 1000 Package B fleet. The engines are used in Boeing 787 aircraft.
