- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Global stock markets rose on Monday following an announcement by US President Donald Trump that fresh talks with Iran would begin and that a planned strike on the country had been called off. The German Dax reached a record high, peaking at 26,010.56 points, while the Pakistan Stock Exchange KSE-100 index gained over 2,100 points to close at 178,200.02 points. Brent crude oil prices fell significantly, dropping as much as 7.3 percent to 81.55 dollars per barrel, which reduced investor fears regarding inflation and rising interest rates. Gold prices also increased by up to 0.9 percent to approximately 4,080 dollars per ounce.
In Germany, the rally was supported by strong corporate earnings reports from US technology giants like Microsoft and Amazon, as well as gains in the technology sector. In Pakistan, the market surge was attributed to renewed risk appetite and expectations of a swift agreement between the US and Iran. Additionally, Pakistani investors were anticipating the release of inflation data, with hopes that a return to single digits would encourage monetary easing.
While the center-right coverage focused on the record-breaking nature of the Dax and the broader macroeconomic implications of oil prices and corporate earnings, the center-left coverage emphasized the specific point gains of the PSX and the role of regional geopolitical tensions in driving investor sentiment.
