US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday called India a natural partner and invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Washington, turning the page at least rhetorically on friction despite new-found US warmth towards China. One week after joining US President Donald Trump on a state visit to Beijing, Rubio – visiting both Asian powers for the first time – flew to New Delhi and met Modi for more than an hour, inviting the premier to visit the White House soon. “The world’s oldest democracy in the United States and the world’s largest democracy here in India are natural partners now and in the future,” said Rubio, sporting a tuxedo in the searing heat as he entered a gala dinner for business and political leaders at the US ambassador’s residence. Advertisement Modi said he discussed with Rubio issues related to regional and global peace and security. “India and the United States will continue to work closely for the global good,” he said in a social media post.

The title battle between Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli boiled over for the first time as the Englishman won a gripping sprint race at the Canadian Grand Prix. Russell and Antonelli collided in one incident and the Italian ran off track in two as they battled for the lead of the race in the early laps. Antonelli's second off-track incident handed second place to McLaren's Lando Norris and the three cars fought nose to tail until the end of the race. Antonelli, who finished third behind Norris, complained over the radio that Russell had pushed him off track and deserved a penalty. And team boss Toto Wolff, who rarely talks on the radio, ordered his protege to "concentrate on the driving, not on the radio moaning". Russell kept his cool in the lead - and on the penultimate lap Antonelli had a third off-track moment as he attempted to dive around the outside of the McLaren into the first corner, but Norris held firm. Russell's victory, from Norris and Antonelli, cuts his deficit in the championship to Antonelli to 18 points and was a much-needed return to the front for the Briton after three consecutive grand prix wins for his team-mate. Antonelli complained again about Russell's driving on the slowing down lap and Wolff again came on the radio to admonish him: "Kimi, we talk about this privately, not on the radio."

JaysonPhotography/iStock via Getty Images Wall Street finished the week in positive territory, though trading remained volatile as investors grappled with surging Treasury yields, escalating Middle East tensions, and another closely watched earnings report from Nvidia ( NVDA ). Early in the week, concerns about an inflationary shock tied to the Middle East conflict pushed Treasury yields higher and pressured equities. Market sentiment improved later in the week amid growing optimism surrounding a potential temporary ceasefire framework between Washington and Tehran. Markets also adjusted to the arrival of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chairman on Friday. Nvidia remained at the center of investor attention after the AI chipmaker delivered earnings and guidance above Wall Street expectations. For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJI ) gained +2.1%, the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) rose +0.9%, and the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) added +0.5%. Here’s what caught investor attention this week: Dominion Energy ( D ) shares jumped on Monday after confirming a merger agreement with NextEra Energy ( NEE ) in an all-stock deal valued at about $67B that would create the world’s largest regulated electric utility by market capitalization. Bitcoin Depot ( BTM ) shares plunged 39% over the week after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. as it seeks to wind down operations and pursue asset sales. The company said its Bitcoin ATM network has been taken offline and cited mounting compliance costs, transaction restrictions, litigation, and regulatory actions as key pressures on its business model. Cerebras ( CBRS ) , an AI chip developer that just launched its initial public offering, was fast-tracked to receive inclusion on the S&P Dow Jones Indices. Cerebras' IPO was 30M shares at $185 each. However, shares opened at $350 as investors scrambled to take part in the action. CBRS shares fell nearly -12% over this week to settle at $256.7. Retail giants ...

narvo vexar German food delivery group Delivery Hero ( DELHY ) on Saturday confirmed that U.S. ride-hailing company Uber Technologies ( UBER ) proposed to buy it for €33 ($38.29) per share amid an ongoing strategic review. Earlier in the day, The Financial Times reported that in a meeting with the chair of Delivery Hero’s ( DLVHF ) supervisory board, Kristin Skogen Lund, this week, Uber ( UBER ) CEO Dara Khosrowshahi floated a €33 per-share bid, which was rejected by the company. Rival DoorDash ( DASH ) is also interested in acquiring the Berlin-based firm in full or adding its Middle East operations and its Turkish arm, according to the report. Last week, Niklas Östberg, co-founder and CEO of Delivery Hero ( DELHY ), agreed to step aside by March 2027 as part of a strategic review implemented in reaction to campaigns initiated by several large shareholders. Delivery Hero ( DLVHF ) said it “ remains fully focused on executing its strategic review process,” and the company added that it will share further updates “as required or appropriate.” More on Uber, Delivery Hero SE Uber Technologies: The Orchestrator Of The Autonomous Revolution Uber Technologies: 2026 AI Budget Blown, But Margin Expansion Should Boost FCF Uber: Accelerating Flywheel With Superapp And Robotaxis Upside Uber and DoorDash engaging Delivery Hero investors for takeover bid: FT Uber evaluating takeover of Delivery Hero - Bloomberg

England suffered a disappointing 14-run defeat as Sophie Devine's brilliance levelled the T20 series for New Zealand at Canterbury. England's bowlers started magnificently in scorching conditions, restricting New Zealand to 11-4, but Sophie Devine and Maddy Green added a record-breaking 159 for the fifth wicket to take the White Ferns to a competitive 170-5. All-rounder Devine blasted 87 from 57 balls before she was run out from the final ball of the innings, with Green finishing 56 not out in support. Devine whacked six sixes and five fours as England's bowlers and fielders struggled under pressure in all-too-familiar scenes. The stunning recovery saw New Zealand take the momentum into the second innings, and though England started their chase positively, Sophia Dunkley was the first to throw away her start and fell for 26 from 18 balls. After Alice Capsey was out for 22, Heather Knight and Maia Bouchier added 43 for the third wicket but their cautious approach saw the run-rate climb and the pair fell in consecutive balls in the 16th over to all-but seal the win for New Zealand. Explosive all-rounders Dani Gibson and Freya Kemp were tasked with scoring 30 from the final two overs, but they were dismissed for 12 and 14 respectively as England finished on 156-6. The series decider takes place at Hove on Monday, when even hotter conditions are expected.

Kyle Busch, driver of the #7 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet, celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ECOSAVE 200 at Dover Motor Speedway on May 15, 2026 in Dover, Delaware. Sean Gardner | Getty Images Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications, according to a statement released by his family. Dakota Hunter, vice president of Kyle Busch Companies, said in a news release the family received the medical evaluation on Saturday. Busch, a two-time NASCAR champion, died at 41 on Thursday, a day after passing out in a Chevrolet simulator. Sepsis is considered a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when the body has an extreme, overactive response to an infection, causing the immune system to damage its own tissues and organs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Typically the immune system releases chemicals to fight off pathogens like bacteria, viruses or fungi, but with sepsis the response goes into overdrive. The results can cause widespread inflammation, form microscopic blood clots and make blood vessels leak. Busch was thought to have had a sinus cold while racing at Watkins Glen on May 10 and radioed in to his team saying that he needed a "shot" from a doctor after the race. However, he bounced back to win the Trucks Series race at Dover last weekend, and then he finished 17th in the All-Star race on Sunday. Busch, who was preparing to race Sunday at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte, several people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. During the emergency call placed late that afternoon, an unidentified caller calmly told the dispatch: "I've got an individual that's (got) shortness of breath, very hot, thinks he's going to pass out, and is producing ...

One of the premier tech investors today is Tiger Global's Chase Coleman, and the billionaire hedge fund manager was busy putting money to work in a trio of semiconductor stocks in Q1. With the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure market booming, this is still a great place to find top growth stocks. During the quarter, Coleman added to his already large holdings in Nvidia (NVDA 1.86%), Broadcom (AVGO +0.01%), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM 0.69%). All three stocks are among his top 10 holdings, with Nvidia at No. 2 behind Alphabet, at 9.2% of his holdings; TSMC at No. 4, with an 8.2% position; and Broadcom at No. 7, at 4.9% of his portfolio. Let's look at what might have attracted Coleman to these names and why they all still look like solid buys. 1. Nvidia: The LLM training leader Nvidia is the dominant name in AI infrastructure, especially for AI model training. The company has created a wide moat in this area through its CUDA software platform, which it planted in early AI research labs and, as a result, is where most foundational AI code is written and optimized for its graphics processing units (GPUs). The large language model (LLM) training market will remain its bread and butter, but it is also well positioned for inference and agentic AI. Its "acquisition" of Groq and its language processing units (LPUs) helps it attack the memory-intensive inference market, while it has also developed its own central processing units (CPUs), which are important for agentic AI. The company also has a strong networking portfolio.

Karp Prioritizes VO2 Max And Muscle Speaking with Axios' Mike Allen at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2024, Karp said he focuses on VO2 max, a measure of how much oxygen the body can use during hard exercise. Karp said he believes pushing VO2 max into a top age-group range ranks among the most important steps a person can take for long-term health. But he also warned against chasing endurance at the expense of strength. "My VO2 Max is like elite for like a 25-year-old," Karp said. "But if I go to elite for a 20-year-old, I lose muscle mass. I think for brain health it’s much better to be slightly older from a VO2 Max and increased muscle mass." Norwegian Training Shapes His Fitness Advice He told executives that they should think about the point where aerobic capacity, muscle and brain health overlap. His formula requires patience. "You spend three years working on VO2 Max," Karp said, adding that the work requires discipline, low-intensity exercise and "very technical intervals." His shortcut for learning the method was to simply, "just copy the Norwegians." Norwegian researchers at NTNU's Cardiac Exercise Research Group promote the 4×4 interval model, which uses four hard four-minute efforts separated by active recovery. Their guidance also pairs interval work with broader exercise habits. Strength Work Complements Slow Running Karp said people should later add practical strength work, not mirror-muscle training. He recommended "bands and body weight exercises" to make muscles "stronger and more flexible." Research supports much of his framing. A Cleveland Clinic study published in JAMA Network Open linked higher cardiorespiratory fitness with longer survival and found no upper limit to benefit. Reviews also associate resistance training with brain changes and gains in executive function, though researchers urge caution because studies vary in size and design. For beginners, Karp kept the advice simpler. "Run like a snail," he said. "Meaning, you run...

The "Magnificent Seven" began 2026 in a hole. Every member slid in the year's first few months as investors started questioning how much they had been paying for promises tied to artificial intelligence (AI). Since then, however, most of the group has climbed back. As of this writing, the seven are collectively higher on the year, the S&P 500 is up more than 8%, and Alphabet has jumped more than 20%. But one name has been left out of the rebound. Microsoft (MSFT 0.06%) is down about 13% so far in 2026, the worst showing in the group. Even Tesla, which had been vying with Microsoft for last place earlier in the year, has since pulled ahead -- as have chipmaker Nvidia, fresh off another strong quarter, and iPhone maker Apple. What makes the gap unusual is that the business itself hasn't stumbled. So, with the stock sitting at the back of the pack, is the software and cloud giant's stock finally worth buying? A business that keeps speeding up Microsoft's fiscal third quarter of 2026 (the period ended March 31, 2026) didn't look like a company in trouble. Revenue rose 18% year over year to $82.9 billion -- an acceleration from 17% growth the prior quarter, and operating income climbed 20% to $38.4 billion. Further, the software giant's non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share rose about 21%. Even more, Microsoft said its AI products now carry an annual revenue run rate of more than $37 billion -- up 123% from a year earlier. Behind it is everything from outside developers building on Azure, the company's cloud computing business, to Microsoft's own Copilot assistant, which crossed 20 million paid seats after adding 5 million in a single quarter. Management also signaled a change in how it plans to charge for all of this. "Any per-user business of ours, whether it's productivity, coding, security, will become a per-user and usage business," CEO Satya Nadella said during the company's fiscal third-quarter earnings call. In plain terms, Microsoft wants to keep collecting its...

A ship remains anchored on May 16, 2026 in the Strait of Hormuz near Larak Island, Iran. Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran over opening this critical waterway have largely stalled as the countries have rejected each other's proposals to end the war that began when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Majid Saeedi | Getty Images News | Getty Images Mediators believe they are nearing a deal to extend the U.S. ceasefire with Iran by 60 days and establish a framework for nuclear talks, the Financial Times reported Saturday, citing people briefed on the negotiations. The agreement would include a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a commitment to discuss Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, eased sanctions, and the phased unfreezing of Tehran's overseas assets, the FT reported. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said Tehran is finalizing a "memorandum of understanding" to end the war as a first phase, before moving to broader talks within 30 to 60 days. "The deal seems to be going in the right direction. It's with the Americans now for review," a diplomat briefed on the talks told the FT. U.S. President Donald Trump said he is "getting a lot closer " to an agreement with Iran, CBS News reported Saturday. He could make a decision Sunday, Axios reported . There has been a fragile ceasefire in place since April 8, punctuated by skirmishes as the U.S. and Iran jockey over the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for global energy trade. The conflict has set off what Gulf states called the worst global energy crisis in decades, with higher energy prices in the U.S. feeding rising inflation and expectations that the Federal Reserve may need to increase interest rates. Pakistani and Qatari negotiators held talks with Iranian counterparts on Thursday and Friday, while staying in regular contact with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, the FT reported. Iran's top negotiator told a Pakistani counterpart that Iran wouldn't compromise its "legitimate rights" and expressed...

Tobacco giant Altria (MO +0.26%) has been struggling to generate much growth in recent years. As fewer people smoke, the company has been pivoting to other, less harmful products for consumers. It's been a challenging journey for the company, and there's no denying that smokeable tobacco is still its core business, and it's going to remain that way for the foreseeable future. When the company recently reported earnings, there was a positive surprise for investors, or so it seemed anyway. Sales were up 5% from the same period compared to a year ago. That's not the type of growth investors have been accustomed to seeing from the company. But when looking at the bigger picture, the results look far less exciting. Altria's numbers were up, but they were also going up against some weaker comparables When a business is in decline, it may be easier to show growth even if the numbers aren't necessarily higher than they were a few years ago. And that's exactly the case with Altria. On a year-over-year basis, sales (net of excise taxes) were up over 5% in its most recent quarter -- the best rate the tobacco company has achieved in multiple years. Its revenue during the first three months of the year, when excluding excise taxes, totaled $4.1 billion. Five years earlier, however, that figure stood at nearly $4.9 billion. Its revenue has actually declined by approximately 16% over that time frame. While there has been some growth in its oral tobacco products over the past five years, it's not anything to get terribly excited about. From $626 million in net revenue back in the first quarter of 2021 to $669 million this past quarter, that's an increase of just under 7%. It's modest, and it still means that it's a small fraction of the overall business.

Consulting giant Deloitte noted in November last year that inference workloads will be the next big thing in artificial intelligence (AI) in 2026. According to Deloitte, inference will account for two-thirds of AI computing power this year, up from 50% in 2025. Deloitte estimates the market for inference-focused AI chips could reach $50 billion this year. McKinsey, on the other hand, estimates that AI inference workloads in data centers could jump from almost 21 gigawatts (GW) last year to 93 GW in 2030, clocking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35%. Not surprisingly, there is a race among AI chipmakers to make inference-focused processors to capitalize on this lucrative growth opportunity. From Nvidia (NVDA 1.86%) to Advanced Micro Devices to Broadcom to Intel, everyone is trying to make the most efficient chips that can run AI inference applications cost-effectively in data centers and at the edge.

The Pentagon document highlights just how deeply Russian forces had come to rely on Elon Musk's commercial satellite terminals to patch over their own spotty military communication systems.

Ukrainian forces then made their first territorial gains since 2023, after years of steady Russian gains, with Russia military comms now said to be "temporarily yet significantly degraded" due to the loss of the terminals.

This resulted in "instant" results. What also didn't help is the Kremlin's own tightening restrictions on the use of Telegram by Russian forces, and so...
