Global Markets Steady Amid U.S.-Iran Talks and AI Disruption

Global shares remained steady with the reopening of U.S. markets after a public holiday, while oil prices slipped in anticipation of nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran, set to commence later on Tuesday.

European stocks rose, marking a second day of gains, while global tech-heavy stocks slipped, raising concerns among investors about over-investment and potential AI disruption to business models.
