Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is seeking to temporarily halt incentives for data centers in a bid to contain soaring power bills. Pritzker, a Democrat seeking his third term as governor, wants to implement a two-year moratorium on new state-issued tax credits for data centers, he said during his budget address on Wednesday. He also urged the PJM Interconnection LLC, the largest grid operator in the US, to take steps to make large energy customers such as data centers pay their fair share. Ensuring a reliable electricity supply has become key to a world where more and more people charge their phones, drive electric cars and use artificial intelligence tools. But concerns are mounting over who will cover the cost to power data centers, with energy bills for American consumers on the rise. “We need to think critically about our future energy usage with the needs of Illinois households at the forefront,” he said. “In the face of rising demand and surging prices, I’m proposing a two year pause on authorization of new data center tax credits. With the shifting energy landscape, it is imperative that our growth does not undermine affordability and stability for our families.” Pritzker touted the success that he and other governors have had in getting changes from PJM, which covers 13 states including New Jersey and Pennsylvania in addition to parts of northern Illinois. That effort has included speeding up interconnection times for renewable energy projects. He also called on PJM to “force data center developers to pay for capacity resources to power their operations.” PJM didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Illinois is not the first state to seek to reign in expensive power bills. New Jersey’s new governor, Mikie Sherrill , issued executive orders calling a state of emergency and pausing new utility rate increases after she was sworn into office last month. The move will enable New Jersey to block utilities from increasing how much they charge for certain...

Wall Street’s major market averages pushed higher on Wednesday as the tech sector rebounded and regained momentum. The Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) ended +0.7%, the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) closed +0.5%, and the Dow ( DJI ) finished +0.2%. DKosig Now, here are some of the top things to look forward to on Thursday: Market participants will be watching Walmart’s ( WMT ) earnings release for insight into the strength of U.S. consumer spending and traffic trends across its stores and e-commerce platform. Guidance on comparable sales, operating margins, and forward outlook will be critical in shaping expectations for the broader retail sector and the health of the consumer heading into the next quarter. Investors will be watching to see whether the broader technology sector can build on Wednesday’s Nasdaq advance and extend its recent momentum. Sustained buying across a wide range of tech names — rather than just a handful of mega-caps — will be key in determining whether the rally has staying power or begins to fade. Traders will be focused on tomorrow’s initial jobless claims report for fresh clues on labor market resilience and whether layoffs are beginning to rise. A larger-than-expected increase could cool risk appetite, while softer claims would reinforce confidence in economic stability and support equities.

She has pledged to consider suspending the food sales tax for two years without issuing deficit bonds, despite warnings against tax cuts from the International Monetary Fund. Donald Trump’s trade levies aren’t the main reason why China is exporting more to other parts of the world, a European Central Bank study showed. Instead, weak domestic demand is pushing Chinese firms to channel excess capacity abroad.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told CNBC the analysis is “ an embarrassment .” Goldman CEO Solomon, Long a Crypto Skeptic, Says He Owns Bitcoin Read the Story French President Emmanuel Macron said the free speech defense of social media platforms is “pure bullshit,” pushing back on one of Trump’s key foreign policy goals. “Having no clue about how their algorithm is made, how it’s tested, trained and where it will guide you—the democratic consequences of this bias could be huge,” he said Wednesday in New Delhi.
