Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow and Bailey Lipschultz break down the final developments from SpaceX as the company prepares to go public with a record-breaking IPO on Friday. Elon Musk's aerospace company raised $75 billion in the IPO, pricing 555.6 million shares at $135 each, according to a statement on its website Thursday. When asked about what's driving the interest despite the lack of current profits, Ludlow says that many investors believe that profitable opportunities that SpaceX have set out for the future, including data centers in space, may occur even sooner that the company is predicting.

Strikes on Bemani damaged key water reservoir for 20,000 people living in area amid a historic drought in the country Middle East crisis – live updates Military strikes that damaged two water storage facilities in southern Iran may constitute a war crime, military and legal experts say, after reviewing media reports and visual evidence of a 10 June strike on Bemani, a small district about 2 miles ...
Strikes on Bemani damaged key water reservoir for 20,000 people living in area amid a historic drought in the country Middle East crisis – live updates Military strikes that damaged two water storage facilities in southern Iran may constitute a war crime, military and legal experts say, after reviewing media reports and visual evidence of a 10 June strike on Bemani, a small district about 2 miles from the strait of Hormuz. It’s unclear if the strikes deliberately targeted the district’s water tanks, or if they unintentionally destroyed a key reservoir for about 20,000 people living nearby. But if the tanks were the target, then the legal question becomes critical, Brian Finucane, a former state department lawyer, said. “It’s either a military objective or it’s a civilian object: attacking one is lawful, attacking the other is a war crime,” Finucane said.

LPETTET The Trump administration can continue to enforce the 10% global tariffs it implemented in February while a lawsuit filed by a group of states and small businesses plays out, a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday, according to a media report. The government "made a sufficient showing" that it was likely to win the underlying dispute, the court said. A stay of the legal challenge is "warranted under the circumstances," the ruling said. As such, importers will be required to pay tariffs at least until the appeals court rules on the broader merits of the case, Bloomberg News reported. The administration pivoted to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to justify tariffs after the Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs declared using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act exceeded the president's authority. Section 122 allows the president to impose a "temporary import surcharge" to address " large and serious United States balance-of-payments deficits." To last more than 150 days, Congress needs to extend approval of the surcharges.

A small number of firms are set to net tens of billions of dollars in returns from SpaceX’s initial public offering at a nearly $1.8 trillion valuation, marking one of the most significant windfalls in venture capital history. Founders Fund, a venture firm led by Musk’s longtime associate Peter Thiel, owns a roughly 3% stake in SpaceX after investing $600 million in the company over several rounds dating back nearly 20 years. At the company’s $135-per-share IPO price, that stake is worth more than $50 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. Andreessen Horowitz will get the biggest return in its history from SpaceX, according to a person familiar with the matter. The venture firm’s stake in SpaceX would be worth more than $10 billion, the person said. 137 Ventures, another early investor, owns about 1% of SpaceX, the firm’s founder Justin Fishner-Wolfson said in a previous interview with Bloomberg Tech. And Valor Equity Partners, founded by Musk ally Antonio Gracias, has a roughly 4% stake in SpaceX, according to the company’s IPO paperwork. That would now be worth nearly $70 billion. SpaceX, formally known as Space Exploration Technologies, is set to begin trading on Friday after raising $75 billion in the largest IPO of all time. The Wall Street debut offers virtually unprecedented returns for venture investors at a time when many startups are choosing to stay private longer. It also serves as validation for those who’ve bet early on Musk’s ambitious plan to build a rocket company more than two decades ago, as well as his other ventures that have since been folded into SpaceX. “The core lesson that everyone has learned from this experience is never bet against Elon – it’s just a bad idea,” said Trae Stephens, a general partner at Founders Fund, in a recent interview with Bloomberg Tech. Jamie Melzer, managing partner at Altra Venture Partners, echoed the sentiment. “Anyone who has invested in Elon along the way is going to make money in this IPO,” ...

The dollar fell by the most in more than a month as President Donald Trump ’s vow of progress on a deal to end the war with Iran eased demand for the haven. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index dropped 0.3% Thursday afternoon in New York after Trump called off US military strikes against Iran and said that a peace deal was near. It was the currency’s worst one-day performance since May 6. The remarks also led to a decline in oil prices and a surge in US Treasuries. “There is a notably more constructive tone to this afternoon’s headlines, which has boosted expectations for an imminent peace agreement,” said Alex Cohen , a foreign-exchange strategist at Bank of America Corp. “This has weighed on the US dollar.” The dollar has risen 1.6% since the US and Israel attacked Iran in late February, supported by investor appetite for safe assets. The currency has also shown a strong sensitivity to oil, often climbing alongside the price of the commodity. A measure of the cost of hedging against gains in the dollar versus major peers over the next month retreated on Thursday, though the options market still suggests traders are bullish on the US currency.

Inok Gold and silver prices have been declining in recent weeks, due in part to concerns about a potential hike in interest rates. We asked Seeking Alpha analyst Andrew Hecht whether he thought this might be a good time to buy silver or gold ETFs. Andrew Hecht : The trend is a trader's or investor’s best friend, and it is bearish in gold and silver since the unprecedented late January record highs. The rally at the start of the year was parabolic. We took profits on all gold and silver-related risk positions in the Hecht Commodity Report in late January. We are currently only holding a small position in the abrdn Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares ETF ( GLTR ) with plenty of room to add on further price weakness. I find it interesting that analysts at the leading financial institutions continue to forecast gold prices at $5,400 to over $6,000 by the end of 2026. Last year their forecasts did not come close to the levels that the precious metals reached. The bottom line is that the long-term bullish trends in gold and silver remain intact, but there is room for further declines before long-term support levels are challenged. I am cautious and remain mostly on the sidelines as the threat of risk-off periods that could send gold and silver lower is elevated.
