Australia's High Court declined to absolve Qantas of responsibility for dismissing 1,700 ground workers during the pandemic, ruling that the airline had exceeded what the law permits. Across the Pacific, markets absorbed the quiet message that even Apple's most celebrated rituals can no longer be counted on to lift sentiment, as geopolitical pressures and rising oil prices cast a shadow over the confidence that had long sustained them.
