On June 12, the Financial Supervisory Service of Korea released the preliminary operating performance report for securities and futures companies for the first quarter of 2026. In the first quarter of this year, 61 securities firms in Korea achieved a net profit of 4.33 trillion won (approximately 19.268 billion RMB), marking a 77.1% increase compared to the same period last year and a 132.6% increase from the previous quarter. For the entire year of 2025, the net profit of Korean securities firms was 9.65 trillion won (approximately 42.943 billion RMB), and the net profit for the first quarter of 2026 has already reached 44.9% of last year's total net profit, nearing half. As Korean investors begin to 'borrow money to invest in stocks,' the balance of overdraft accounts at major commercial banks in the country has surged by over 600 billion won (approximately 2.67 billion RMB) amid significant adjustments in the KOSPI (Korea Composite Stock Price Index). To prevent a spike in stock speculation through borrowed funds, Korean banks are tightening credit loans.

U.S. Bans Foreign Access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5; Anthropic Issues Detailed Rebuttal
On June 13, Anthropic issued a statement announcing that the U.S. government, citing national security powers, has released an export control directive requiring the suspension of all access to the AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by foreign entities, regardless of whether the individuals are within the U.S., including Anthropic employees who are foreign nationals. The practical effect of this order is that we must immediately disable access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Anthropic models will not be affected. We received the government's directive at 5:21 PM (Eastern Time) today. The letter did not specify the details of its national security concerns. Our understanding is that the government believes it has become aware of a method to bypass or 'jailbreak' Fable 5. So far, the government has only provided us with verbal evidence suggesting the existence of a potential narrow, non-general jailbreak, essentially by requiring the model to read specific code libraries and fix any software defects. We are complying with the government's legitimate directive and are in the process of removing all users' access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5. However, we disagree with the conclusion that 'a narrow potential jailbreak vulnerability should be the reason to recall commercial models deployed to hundreds of millions of users.' (Jinshi) -

U.S. Officials: U.S. and Iran Close to Agreement, Signing Expected in Coming Days
On June 13, Reuters reported that a senior U.S. official stated on Friday local time that the U.S. and Iran have not yet truly reached the finish line, but are very close to finalizing an agreement to resolve their conflicts. Washington expects to sign the agreement in the coming days. 'The negotiating team has put us in a very favorable position, but we still need to see, we haven't really reached the finish line, but we are very close,' the U.S. official said. The official noted that the agreed terms achieve a core goal of Trump. The memorandum of understanding includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of U.S. blockades on Iranian ports. Iran's highly enriched uranium will also be destroyed on-site and subsequently removed from the country. 'Iran will not gain anything from signing the memorandum or from the negotiations themselves,' the official said. 'They will receive economic rewards for fulfilling the obligations set forth in the agreement. Therefore, if they commit to handing over nuclear materials, they will gain something. If they dismantle their nuclear program or facilities, they will receive additional benefits.' -
