Shares of SpaceX climbed in their first day of trading on Friday following a $75 billion IPO that smashed records and instantly turned the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire into one of the most valuable public companies in the world.
The stock climbed as high as $176.52, or 31% above its offering price, less than two hours after the shares started trading shortly before noon in New York. The jump in price turned Musk into the world’s first trillionaire and sent the company’s market capitalization above $2 trillion.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda's hospitalization is generating uncertainty among investors over the central bank's messaging at its policy meeting next week, even as they remain convinced officials will raise interest rates. Ueda is expected to miss the BOJ's meeting on June 15-16 and will refrain from casting a vote, but will express his views via a statement. Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino will serve as acting chair while another deputy, Shinichi Uchida, will host a post-meeting press conference. Ueda's absence is unlikely to shift expectations of a hike, but uncertainty is growing among market participants about how clearly Uchida will communicate at the press conference. The BOJ's cautious approach to rate hikes has been weighing on the yen due to the large interest rate differential between the US and Japan. We speak to Winnie Hsu, Bloomberg's Asia Equities Reporter

Plus - The American military launched strikes against "multiple" targets in Iran for the second straight day after President Donald Trump accused the country of dragging out talks on an interim peace deal.

About four hours later, in another post, Centcom declared the operation complete and that military surveillance systems, air defense sites and communication systems were the targets.
