Apple Inc. announced plans to hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference from June 8 to June 12, when the company is poised to unveil a make-or-break collection of AI features. “WWDC26 will spotlight incredible updates for Apple platforms, including AI advancements and exciting new software and developer tools,” the company said in a statement Monday. An in-person keynote event will kick off the conference on June 8 at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. This year’s WWDC will be a pivotal one: The iPhone maker needs to stage a comeback in artificial intelligence, and that effort will begin with the introduction of the iOS 27 operating system that week. As part of the push, Apple is revamping its Siri voice assistant to provide a more chatbot-like interface, Bloomberg News has reported . The company also is preparing an under-the-hood cleanup of its operating systems, which in some cases have become bloated and buggy.

In 2023, for instance, Apple unveiled the Vision Pro headset. This year’s event isn’t expected to include any blockbuster new device announcements, though. The company typically follows up on WWDC with launches of new hardware in the fall, including iPhone introductions in September and new types of Macs or other products in October. Later this year, Apple plans to debut a foldable iPhone, the iPhone 18 Pro line and an upgraded MacBook Pro with a touch screen, Bloomberg has reported.

财联社3月24日讯（编辑 史正丞） 随着美以伊战争造成的混乱显著推高能源价格，欧元区消费者信心在3月严重下滑。 欧盟委员会周一公布的数据显示， 欧元区的3月消费者信心初值录得-16.3，此前2月为-12.3。 欧盟官方表示，这已经是 2023年10月以来的最低点 。另有统计显示，此次下跌也是 自2022年3月以来该指标的最大降幅 ，当时欧洲消费者正在消化俄乌冲突爆发的影响。 （来源：欧盟委员会） 这项调查的时间为3月1日至3月22日，完全落在2月28日美以伊战争爆发之后。 万神殿宏观经济学研究的欧洲经济学家Ankita Amajuri对此解读称， 最新数字意味着中东战争对欧元区信心的初始冲击比去年特朗普的关税更为严重 。她表示，在过去两周市场主要聚焦通胀上行风险后，目前也需要同步权衡经济增长走弱的下行风险。 与此同时，欧元区的通胀预期已经抬头。 欧洲央行在上周更新的季度经济预测中将 2026年的通胀预期从1.9%上调至2.6% 。而在战火严重影响经济的假设下，该区域的通胀率可能达到4%。 欧洲央行在新闻稿中表示，中东战争显著增加经济前景的不确定性，推高通胀的上行风险并对经济增长构成下行风险。多名欧元区央行行长也在上周表态，称如果战火对通胀的影响反映在最新数据中， 该行可能需要在4月考虑加息 。 晨星首席欧洲市场策略师Michael Field感慨称，直到几周前，欧洲央行的利率决议还是一件相对乏味的事情，现在随着油价飙升，一切都变了。 最新的战火也发生在欧元区经济“初见好转”的微妙时刻。2022年俄乌战火爆发后，欧元区的消费者信心一度跌出历史低点，同时储蓄率也上升并维持在较高水平。从去年底开始，该地区的消费者信心已经出现复苏的迹象。 不过随着中东战火爆发，快速上升的油价立即推高了欧洲家庭的能源成本。而金融市场对更高通胀的押注，也使得部分欧洲家庭面临更高的借贷成本。油价上涨和借贷成本上升将同时挤压居民可支配收入。 与此同时，欧洲央行工资跟踪指标显示，今年协商工资增速为2.6%，基本符合通胀稳定在2%政策目标附近所需的状态。

MPs have urged the government to halt its latest contract with Palantir, after the Guardian revealed the US spy-tech company is to gain access to a trove of highly sensitive UK financial regulation data. The Financial Conduct Authority, the watchdog for thousands of financial bodies from banks to hedge funds, has hired Palantir to apply its AI systems to two years’ worth of internal intelligence data to help it tackle financial crime. But the Liberal Democrats on Monday called for a government investigation into the contract, which the party said could be “a huge error of judgment”, while the Green party said it should be blocked over Palantir’s links to Donald Trump. Questioned on whether the UK was becoming “dangerously overreliant” on US tech companies including Palantir, the prime minister, Keir Starmer, told parliament he would prefer to have more domestic capability but added: “I don’t think we’re overreliant.” Palantir was founded by the Donald Trump-backing billionaire Peter Thiel and it supports the US and Israeli militaries and the ICE immigration crackdown. In the UK it has built up more than £500m in contracts including with the NHS, police and Ministry of Defence. Insiders at the FCA, where security-cleared Palantir staff are to gain access to FCA data in a 12-week trial, have questioned if there are sufficient safeguards to prevent its “data lake” from being exploited in unintended ways. There are concerns about the potential for data about sensitive FCA investigations into high-profile figures to be accessed during Palantir’s work. These have recently included the banker Jes Staley, who was an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, and the hedge fund boss Crispin Odey. The FCA has insisted that Palantir will be a “data processor”, not a “data controller” – meaning that it could only act on instruction from the regulator. The FCA said it would retain exclusive control over the encryption keys for the most sensitive files and the data would be hosted and stored ...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Elon Musk is taking a more aggressive step toward controlling the AI supply chain, outlining plans for a new semiconductor facility in Austin that could reshape how Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) sources critical chips. Speaking at an event in Texas, Musk said the proposed Terafab would be jointly operated with SpaceX, starting as an advanced technology fab capable of producing and testing a wide range of chips before potentially scaling further. Musk framed the move as a response to what he sees as a gap between accelerating demand for AI compute and the pace of industry supply, suggesting that without building internally, the companies may struggle to secure enough chips for robotics, autonomous driving and broader AI initiatives. The plan, however, remains early and without a defined timeline, highlighting both the ambition and execution risk. Semiconductor fabs typically take years to become operational and require tens of billions of dollars, and Musk has previously indicated the effort would begin at a smaller scale before expanding. Tesla continues to rely on existing partners including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), alongside an agreement with Samsung (SSNLF) near Austin, but Musk indicated those relationships may not fully meet future demand. The Terafab is expected to eventually target advanced nodes such as 2-nanometer chips and support large-scale compute output, including 100 to 200 gigawatts annually on Earth, with additional ambitions tied to space-based systems. That broader strategy extends beyond Earth. Musk said the facility would produce two categories of chips: edge and inference processors for vehicles, robotaxis and Optimus humanoid robots, and higher-powered chips designed for space applications linked to SpaceX and xAI, which operates as a wholly owned subsidiary following its acquisition. He also outlined a vision for AI data center satellites, including a prot...

Key Points Retirees who want a quieter lifestyle and laid-back vibe may want to give these towns a closer look. You can maximize your savings by getting a condo instead of a house, but housing is affordable in some of these areas. Many of these towns have plenty of outdoor activities and are located near oceans and lakes. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Vacation towns have a special charm.

X-energy intends to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “XE.”… pic.twitter.com/Sh6zYpzEFw — X-energy (@xenergynuclear) March 20, 2026 The company develops the Xe-100, an 80 MWe high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) designed for both electricity generation and high-temperature process heat. Modules can deploy individually or in four- to twelve-unit plants for scalable output. Safety features rely on its core design and proprietary TRISO-X fuel, tristructural-isotropic particles widely regarded as among the most robust nuclear fuels available. X-energy manufactures this fuel through subsidiary TRISO-X LLC to maintain quality control. Progress on their fuel supply chain is advancing rapidly. Vertical construction began in November 2025 at the TX-1 fuel fabrication facility in Tennessee. Once complete in mid-2026, the Category II facility will produce approximately 700,000 TRISO pebbles annually, sufficient for up to 11 Xe-100 reactors . TRISO-X received the first-ever Part 70 high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel fabrication license earlier this year, with confirmatory testing underway at Idaho National Laboratory. X-energy’s commercial pipeline now exceeds 11 GW across the United States and United Kingdom . The flagship project is a four-unit Xe-100 plant at Dow’s Seadrift (Long Mott) site in Texas, selected under the Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program. The installation will supply power and steam for chemical manufacturing. A construction...

Sheryl Sandberg is back at a technology startup — and it reminds her of the halcyon days at Google and Facebook. The veteran technology executive joined the board of a data center developer Nscale earlier this month, one of her first significant positions since leaving Meta Platforms Inc .’s board in 2024. On Monday, Sandberg said the London-based startup felt reminiscent of earlier times at Google and Facebook, where she played a prominent role building advertising businesses. She even compared Josh Payne , Nscale’s chief executive, to her famous former boss. Payne courted Sandberg aggressively, writing a letter to his management arguing for her to join the board, Sandberg said. “The only person I’d ever seen write like that is Mark Zuckerberg ,” she said in a joint interview with Payne on Bloomberg TV, praising Payne’s “real visionary leadership.” Nscale is one of leading so-called neoclouds, the companies renting out computing capacity to artificial intelligence developers. It competes with CoreWeave Inc. , Nebius Group NV and several other providers that have signed deals with tech giants looking to shift infrastructure spending off their balance sheets. In the process, the neoclouds have raised mountains of debt to build data centers and buy the latest semiconductors, sparking concerns about a bubble. Spun out of a cryptocurrency miner in 2024, Nscale has pledged to build major data center projects in the UK, Portugal and Norway. But none of those projects are finalized and the company has reported only minimal revenues. In March, when Nscale announced Sandberg’s appointment, the startup disclosed it had raised $2 billion from several investors, including Nvidia Corp . and Nokia Oyj , for a $14.6 billion valuation. Payne said on Monday that his company was distinct from rivals because it controlled each aspect of the technology inside data centers. “We own the land and power. We own the chips. And we own the software,” he said. Last week, Nscale said it planned...

Back in 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act increased the estate tax exemption from $5.5 million to $11.8 million per person. Since that figure was pegged to inflation, the exemption steadily rose to $13.99 million in 2025. That exemption made it much easier for wealthy individuals to pass their entire estate to their heirs upon death without incurring a tax. That exemption was originally set to expire this year and decline to about $7 million. However, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act set a new baseline exemption of $15 million for 2026 and beyond. It will also be adjusted for inflation every year, but it's a permanent change that won't expire. How will this change affect most Americans? According to the Federal Reserve, Americans aged 75 and older had a median net worth of $335,600 and an average net worth of $1,624,100 at the end of 2022. Therefore, most elderly Americans were already exempt from the estate tax. Only about 1% of American households have a net worth of over $15 million. Even if those individuals die with more than $15 million in assets, their estates won't be immediately taxed at the maximum 40% rate. Instead, it starts at 18% and goes up to 40% -- with an added "base tax" -- based on the amount by which the $15 million threshold was exceeded. Taxable Amount Base Tax Estate Tax $1 – $10,000 $0 18% $10,001-$20,000 $1,800 20% $20,001-$40,000 $3,800 22% $40,001-$60,000 $8,200 24% $60,001-$80,000 $13,000 26% $80,001-$100,000 $18,200 28% $100,001-$150,000 $23,800 30% $150,001-$250,000 $38,800 32% $250,001-$500,000 $70,800 34% $500,001-$750,000 $155,800 37% $750,001-$1,000,000 $248,300 39% $1,000,001+ $345,800 40% For example, if a person dies with $17 million in assets, their beneficiaries would need to pay a $345,800 base tax plus $800,000 (40% of the $2 million above the $15 million threshold). Yet that $1.15 million would still be equivalent to less than 7% of the total estate. What should you do with your assets in 2026? If you don't own more than $15 mi...

Larry Fink, chief executive officer of BlackRock Inc., speaks during BlackRock's 2026 Infrastructure Summit in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. Daniel Heuer | Bloomberg | Getty Images BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said Trump accounts could be a successful early wealth-building tool for children in the U.S., when paired with pre-existing investment vehicles. In his annual chairman's letter to investors, published Monday, Fink said this type of policy can have a good return on investment. "On average, early wealth-building accounts make it more likely for someone to earn an advanced degree, start a business, and own a home," he wrote, citing a 2023 research paper by the Aspen Institute . "We'll see how these accounts evolve, but if they are structured thoughtfully, and paired with existing investment vehicles for education and retirement (like 529 and 401(k) plans), this could be a very significant step toward more young Americans growing with their country," Fink wrote. A 529 college savings plan is another tax-advantaged investment option for families to save on a child's behalf, generally geared toward future education expenses. Alternatively, a 401(k) plan is a retirement savings tool available through most employers.
