US inflation hit 4.1% in May 2026, its highest level in three years, driven by rising energy prices, keeping a Federal Reserve rate hike in September firmly on the table. Consumer spending rose on tax refunds and a stock market rally, while business investment in AI equipment also rebounded.
Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures fell sharply on June 24, 2026, as a global semiconductor sell-off revived doubts about AI investment returns. The decline signals broad pressure on tech-heavy indexes and could compress elevated valuations across the growth sector.
SpaceX's IPO prospectus reveals a 2025 net loss of roughly $5 billion, $22.9 billion in total debt offset by $24.7 billion in cash, and a dual-class share structure giving Elon Musk over 85 percent of voting control.
Nvidia has surpassed $40 billion in equity investments this year, targeting companies across the AI infrastructure stack while simultaneously signing chip and service deals with those same companies. The dual role of investor and supplier reinforces Nvidia's hardware dominance but may draw regulatory scrutiny.
Nvidia will invest up to $2.1 billion in data center company IREN as part of an AI infrastructure deal. The investment ties Nvidia directly to a committed operator of AI compute facilities, securing future hardware demand while boosting IREN's expansion capital.
Intel shares surged 25% while Meta announced a 10% workforce cut and Microsoft offered employee buyouts, all on the same day. The moves reflect big tech's push to control costs and redirect spending toward AI as the post-pandemic hiring boom unwinds.
U.S. GDP grew at a 2% annual rate in Q1, supported by AI-sector investment. War-driven inflation from the Iran conflict is offsetting some of that momentum by raising costs across the economy. The path forward depends on whether inflation persists or eases.
Foreign portfolio investors have sold over ₹1.8 lakh crore in Indian equities in the first four months of 2026, exceeding the full-year total for 2025. A weak rupee, high oil prices, and India's thin AI exposure are pushing capital toward South Korea and Taiwan instead. This is the steepest four-month FPI outflow ever
Meta reported $56.3 billion in Q1 2026 revenue, up 33%, with net profit of $26.8 billion. The strong results come just as the company prepares a large round of layoffs aimed at cutting costs and redirecting capital toward AI. The scale and timing of the cuts have not yet been disclosed.
Google has agreed to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, expanding an existing partnership with the Claude AI maker.

The deal would be one of the largest corporate AI investments ever and deepens Google's position against Microsoft-backed OpenAI. Anthropic already runs its models on Google Cloud, giving Google a dual financial and
Google will invest at least $10 billion in Anthropic, potentially rising to $40 billion based on performance targets. The deal follows Amazon's $5 billion investment made just days earlier, with both agreements valuing Anthropic at $350 billion. Two of the biggest cloud players are now competing to deepen ties with the
Meta Platforms is set to release its next earnings report, prompting investor debate over whether the stock represents a timely buy.
