News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager. U.S. Central Command says it is still investigating why an Army Apache helicopter went down overnight near the Strait of Hormuz, whether it was shot or had a malfunction. President Trump says both pilots will be fine. The military says they were rescued within two hours of the incident off the coast of Oman.
Multiple outlets are reporting the crew was picked up by a Navy surface drone. That may be a first for a military rescue. Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall reports the Strait is once again a key sticking point in talks with Iran.
The White House says that it will prioritize opening the Strait. But at this point, we're still trying to glean any sort of details on what this memorandum of understanding would look like. The other week, it was our understanding that this would be a short-term pause in the fighting, get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, get the U.S.
to lift its naval blockade, and then talks about curbs to Iran's nuclear program would come later. It's still our understanding this is what they are trying to work towards, but at this point, we haven't gotten that official confirmation from either side that they're on the brink of a deal.

Chapter 2: What happened to the Army Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz?
She obviously has had to break with President Trump on a number of issues recently to try to keep that independent streak that seems to win over the voters in Maine.
Bloomberg's Kayleigh Lines reports some other races will be tests for President Trump's endorsement power. He's backing South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Yvette in the governor's race against high-profile Congress members Nancy Mace, Ralph Norman, and two other Republican candidates.
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is hoping the president's backing will fend off a primary challenge from conservative businessman Mike Lynch. And in Nevada, Democrats hope to flip the governor's seat held by vulnerable Republican incumbent Joe Lombardo. Turning to markets now, the bounce back from last Friday's tech-led sell-off has moved in reverse now.
The S&P 500 is back in the red, down 1.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is lower by 0.6%. And the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is leading the declines now, down 1.8%. That's as anticipation builds for three of the biggest tech stock debuts of all time. OpenAI is the latest to file confidentially for an IPO, joining SpaceX and Anthropic in a pipeline now worth about $3.6 trillion.
SpaceX's offering is now said to be drawing demand for multiple times the number of shares that'll be available when they go on sale this Friday. Bloomberg's Bailey Lipschultz reports Elon Musk's Rocket AI company could make even more of a splash later this month.
We have 15 days from IPO to entry on NASDAQ 100. So SpaceX will be trading essentially by itself. The weeks and months, the next year, it's not going to be in the S&P 500.

Chapter 3: How was the Apache crew rescued by a Navy drone?
Is that a source of alpha for active investors who want to diversify? Or is it a potential vacuum suck where people are selling stocks in the S&P 500 to buy SpaceX? And what does that ultimately mean? Those are questions that investors are right now kind of debating.
Bailey Lipschultz covers equities for Bloomberg News. Real estate's picking up. The National Association of Realtors says existing home sales rose 3.2% in May to their fastest pace of the year, even with mortgage rates still around 6.5%. We get more from Bloomberg's Michael McKee.
The important thing to remember about existing home sales is that they're based on contracts signed about two months ago. And two months ago was when we hit our low in mortgage rates for the past couple of years, and it's gone back up again now. So this is probably not something that's going to continue for the next few months.
Bloomberg's Mike McKee, the report also says median home prices rose 1.3 percent last month to just over $429,000. There may be a new most valuable team in the NFL soon.
Chapter 4: What is the current status of talks with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz?
Semaphore is reporting billionaire Todd Bailey's considering a bid for the Seattle Seahawks and has already approached potential partners, including Guggenheim CEO Mark Walter and Middle East investors. The report says the Seahawks could fetch as much as $9 billion. That would be an NFL record. And that's news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager. This is Bloomberg.
