A couple of historical data points are painting a worrisome picture for Wall Street. For the better part of President Donald Trump's first term in the White House, the stock market was unstoppable. By the time he left office in January 2021, the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI 0.36%), benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.43%), and growth-focused Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC 0.94%) had soared by 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively. It marked one of the highest annualized returns overseen by any president, dating back to the late 1800s. Trump's second, non-consecutive stint as president has begun in a similar fashion -- with big stock gains. Between Inauguration Day (Jan. 20, 2025) and the time of this writing (Jan. 28, 2026), the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite have rallied by 13%, 16%, and 22%, respectively. But these outsize gains haven't been without their fair share of stock market drama. In February-March 2020, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, a 33-calendar-day crash wiped out 34% of the S&P 500's value. More recently, a two-day stretch (from the closing bell on April 2 to the end of trading on April 4) that followed the unveiling of President Trump's tariff and trade policy resulted in Wall Street's benchmark index losing 10.5% of its value. This marked its fifth-steepest two-day decline in history, dating back to 1950. With two historic stock market crashes during Trump's tenure, it's time to let historical data weigh in on the likelihood of a third crash being imminent. Here's what history has to say about another stock market crash under Trump Before proceeding, take note that while history does tend to rhyme on Wall Street, it can't guarantee that something will happen in the future. Nevertheless, past correlations can often predict what's to come. One of the historical markers that doesn't bode particularly well for Wall Street is its expensive valuation, as measured by the S&P 500's Shiller Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio, which is also known a...

财联社2月1日讯（记者 徐昊） 2月1日，造车新势力零跑、理想、蔚来和小鹏先后发布1月交付量。四家车企均实现同比增长，但相较于去年12月，交付表现出现明显下滑。 “因为年初是传统的市场淡季，再叠加去年底免征车辆购置税政策的截止，提前透支了一部分需求，导致今年市场大盘下滑幅度整体比较大。”一位新势力车企负责人对财联社记者表示。 零跑汽车1月交付新车32,059辆，同比增长27.37%，环比下降46.94%。为稳定市场，零跑汽车方面表示，目前渠道建设提速，近期新增85家门店，截至1月5日，全国门店总数达1068家，确保更多用户能够体验零跑产品与服务。 理想汽车1月交付新车27,668辆，同比增长7.55%，环比下降37.47%。理想汽车曾表示，受限于电池供应，纯电SUV i6与i8产能爬坡进度不及预期。直至1月底，多位预订理想i6的用户收到理想汽车发出的《关于理想i6订单预计交付时间的通知》，称“受核心零部件产能准备和爬坡不及预期的影响，部分订单的生产节奏发生变化”。 对于未能如期交付的用户，理想汽车提出给予一定的积分补偿，或用户希望更早提车，可选择更换为欣旺达电池版本。理想将按同等安全与质量标准执行生产与质检，并额外提供 2 年或4万公里电池延保。在2月14日前如更换为理想L系列智能焕新版、i8或MEGA车型，也可享受10000元现金补贴。 蔚来1月交付新车27,182辆，同比增长96.08%，环比下降43.53%。其中，全新ES8交付开启134天完成第60,000辆交付。蔚来汽车表示，全新ES8价格高、毛利高，持续提升今年蔚来公司销量与毛利率水平，高毛利产品将带来毛利总额增长，经营质量提升。 为进一步提振市场，蔚来品牌针对新ET5、ET5T、ES6和EC6、乐道品牌针对乐道L60与L90推出7年超低息购车方案。 在公布交付量的同时，理想和蔚来同步公布了近期智能化领域的进展，或也预示新势力车企今年在智能化领域的竞争将更加激烈。理想汽车表示，1月向用户推送了OTA 8.2版本系统更新，带来40项新增功能和25项体验优化，辅助驾驶、智能空间和智能电动体验全面升级。蔚来汽车的蔚来世界模型NWM全新版本也正式推送。 小鹏汽车1月交付新车20,011辆，出现了34.07%的同比下降，环比亦下降46.65%，有待市场恢复。 1月8日，小鹏汽车发布四款新车，包括新款小鹏G6纯电版、...

Warren Buffett isn't best known for his growth investing, but two stocks in his portfolio have huge potential in that regard. When you run the numbers, it's not hard to see how these companies could be worth significantly more in the years to come. Want to follow Buffett's highest upside bets? Keep reading. Maximum growth at a deep discount It's not often that Warren Buffett goes underwater on an investment. According to the latest filings, his holding company Berkshire Hathaway currently owns around 6 million shares of Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), worth around $1 billion. Snowflake first appeared in Berkshire's stock portfolio in the second half of 2020, right as the company went public. Back then, shares traded for around $240. Today, they're closer to $140 -- a 40% loss in less than four years. Yet Berkshire isn't selling any shares. The latest filings show no change in the company's share count. Whether Buffett made the call or one of his lieutenants did, what has allowed the company to remain in the portfolio? At its core, Snowflake is a cloud-based data platform. Its technology is arguably one of the best solutions for a data-heavy world. In 2023, public spending on cloud services was around $400 billion. By 2033, it is estimated to reach $2.3 trillion. All that spending is not only to store data, but to organize, analyze, and secure it. This is where Snowflake's platform shines. According to peer company mParticle: Snowflake is a cloud data warehouse that can store and analyze all your data records in one place. It can automatically scale up/down its compute resources to load, integrate, and analyze data. As a result, you can run virtually any number of workloads across many users at the same time without worrying about [conflict over access to shared data]. Put more simply, Snowflake is faster and more efficient than the competition due to how it organizes and parses huge data sets. Investing in the company is a bet not only on its technology, but also on the wav...

New York, Feb 1, 2026, 06:34 (EST) — Market closed. Microsoft shares closed Friday down 0.8%, slipping to $430.29 following a steep drop the previous day. Traders remain focused on how quickly AI data-center investments ramp up and what returns cloud growth delivers. Coming up is a packed week with megacap tech earnings and key U.S. economic data on tap. Microsoft shares ended Friday down 0.8% at $430.29, leaving the stock under pressure heading into the weekend after a tough two days. That’s key since Microsoft now serves as a clear gauge for how much investors are willing to pay today for AI-driven growth requiring massive infrastructure investment. Once the market begins to doubt the cost, it usually drags more names down with it. The stock fell 10% on Thursday, slashing about $360 billion from its market cap despite beating revenue and earnings estimates for the quarter. Microsoft revealed that nearly half of its backlog—future contracted revenue not yet recognized—comes from OpenAI, raising concerns over customer concentration and whether the startup can fulfill such sizable commitments. (Investopedia) Investors focused on capex, or capital expenditures, which cover spending on long-term assets like data centers and hardware. CFO Amy Hood reported that “capital expenditures were $37.5 billion,” with about two-thirds of that directed toward short-lived assets such as GPUs and CPUs. (Office 365 for IT Pros) Jordan Klein at Mizuho didn’t mince words, labeling the stock as “dead money” unless cloud growth picks up again, MarketWatch reports. (MarketWatch) Friday’s session dragged the Nasdaq Composite down by 0.7%, while the S&P 500 edged lower by 0.1%. Tech stocks underperformed as investors shifted focus between earnings reports and rate-sensitive sectors. (Nasdaq) Microsoft’s link to the wider AI funding wave is another key angle in the trade. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed plans for a “huge” investment in OpenAI, pushing back on rumors of tension with the star...

“强叙事驱动下资金集中涌入后的清算时刻” 1月的最后一个交易日，金银价格发生史诗级暴跌。 现货黄金盘中最大跌幅突破12%，击穿5000美元/盎司大关；现货白银盘中最大跌幅超35%，为近40年最大单日跌幅。 这场始于美联储主席提名的多米诺骨牌，在24小时内接连推倒对冲基金、高杠杆资金，恐慌情绪迅速蔓延至工业金属、加密货币等领域。与此同时，国内金饰价格两日内每克最高回调超200元，引发零售端退货争议。 “这不是简单的回调，而是一场由政策预期突变引发的流动性踩踏。”交易人士告诉记者，“前期芝加哥商品交易所（CME）及国内的上海期货交易所已持续上调黄金、白银交易保证金比例，交易者在黄金、白银上积累了过多杠杆，断崖式暴跌触发了大规模的保证金追缴（margin call），被迫抛售成为压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草。” 沃什提名引爆金银创纪录重挫 消息面上，美国总统特朗普于当地时间周五（1月30日）通过社交媒体宣布，提名美联储前理事凯文・沃什接替杰罗姆・鲍威尔，出任美联储新一任主席。美元指数瞬间被点燃，现货黄金价格如自由落体般从5400美元/盎司垂直坠落。 到了1月31日凌晨，黄金白银的抛售潮愈演愈烈，现货黄金从1月29日创下的5598.75美元/盎司历史高位，直线下探至4682美元/盎司，最终收报4880.03美元/盎司，回吐全周涨幅。COMEX黄金期货同步收跌8.35%，报4907.5美元/盎司，1月累计涨幅收窄至13.28%。 白银市场更为惨烈，现货白银月内一度触及121.65美元的历史高位，当日盘中最低触及74.28美元/盎司，单日最大跌幅达35.89%，收盘跌幅26.42%，报85.26美元/盎司；COMEX白银期货暴跌25.5%，报85.25美元/盎司。 工业金属也未能幸免，遭遇无差别抛售，LME铜日内跌近5.7%，锡跌约5.7%，铝和镍跌超2%。加密货币市场亦受牵连，形成跨资产类别的恐慌性抛售潮；此外，国内市场同步承压，沪银期货开盘直接跌停，沪金、沪铜跟随重挫。 分析人士指出，沃什的提名之所以对黄金、白银“杀伤力”极强，在于其重塑美联储公信力的定位，扭转了此前支撑金价飙涨的央行独立性叙事预期，触发多头踩踏式平仓。 总体看来，市场普遍将沃什视为“鹰派代表”，其主张缩减美联储资产负债表、警惕通胀的立场。 华创证券首席经济学家张瑜分析称，相较目前的美联储体系，沃什有三个最重要的...

spawns/iStock via Getty Images The revival of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine under President Trump's "Donroe Doctrine" marks a turning point in U.S. foreign policy. Washington reportedly carried out hundreds of airstrikes across seven countries in 2025, from Yemen to Nigeria. The new year began with the forcible removal of Venezuela's strongman Maduro and threats to take Greenland "the easy way or the hard way." The US continues to threaten Iran and vows more action against Cuba. The message is straightforward: spheres of influence are not constraints on power; they are how power is exercised. The US toned down its rhetoric, agreed not to use force to acquire Greenland, and rescinded the tariff threats on several European countries that were opposed. But still the damage was done. Perhaps not in a way that can be immediately measured, but trust among the US's closest allies seems to be irreparably harmed. Reports circulated in January that the Trump administration was talking to Alberta officials trying to foster a break. Canada's Prime Minister Carney made this explicitly clear in Davos and struck a responsive chord that the previous order has ruptured. In a matter of four sessions in late January, the US roiled the foreign exchange market: the US Treasury Department, through the Federal Reserve seemed to offer a type of verbal intervention to weaken the US dollar; the president said the "dollar was great" and that he was not concerned while it was experiencing a dramatic slide; and then Treasury Secretary Bessent told a CNBC audience that the US always favors a strong dollar. This is grist for the market's mill that has concluded that between seeking sharply lower rates and efforts to boost the exports and it is consistent with pre-election talk of a new Plaza-like accord. Still, the dollar sell-off stretched the technical indicators, and news that former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh would be nominated to replace Chair Powell at the helm of...

Key Points Michael Burry is betting big that GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen can become a Warren Buffett-type figure. Cohen has so far not made any investments comparable to Buffett's purchases of American Express or Coca-Cola. 10 stocks we like better than GameStop › Michael Burry achieved fame when he correctly predicted the housing crisis in 2008. Now he has made another controversial investment call. While it may not be as bold as his 2008 prediction, it is likely to capture the attention of investors. His latest contrarian call involves purchasing shares of GameStop (NYSE: GME) stock. Although Burry was a GameStop shareholder in the past, the reasoning behind his move back into the stock may come as a surprise to investors, and here's why. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Michael Burry and GameStop Burry said he was not buying GameStop for its underlying business. Instead, he believes in its leader, CEO Ryan Cohen. He went so far as to compare Cohen to Warren Buffett, claiming GameStop could become a business like Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett famously bought Berkshire in 1962 when it was a struggling New England textile manufacturer. He wholly redefined the business, investing in what he deemed high-quality companies during market downturns. Indeed, some of Cohen's moves make such a comparison understandable. He added digital commerce to a dying retail video game business. He has also invested in collectibles and has invested some of the funds in Bitcoin. However, Cohen's largest investment may be GameStop stock itself. He now owns about 42.1 million shares, approximately 9% of the outstanding shares, and could receive options on more than 171.5 million shares if he meets certain performance goals. Since Cohen joined GameStop's board in January 2021, his vision has helped GameStop outperform the S&P 500. Cohen as the next Warren Buffet...

French IT company Capgemini will sell its U.S. subsidiary Capgemini Government Solutions, it said on Sunday, after coming under pressure to explain a contract the latter signed with U.S immigration enforcement agency ICE. French lawmakers, including Finance Minister Roland Lescure, had asked the company to shed light on the contract amid concern over the tactics used by ICE agents following the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota last month. "Capgemini considered that the usual legal constraints imposed in the United States on contracting with federal entities conducting classified activities did not allow the Group to exercise appropriate control over certain aspects of this subsidiary's operations in order to ensure alignment with the Group's objectives," it said in a statement. CapGemini said the process of divestment would be "initiated immediately" but did not say whether the sale was due to CGS' contract with ICE. CGS accounts for 0.4% of Capgemini's estimated revenue in 2025 and less than 2% of its revenue in the United States, the group said. Capgemini CEO Aiman Ezzat had said last week that the company had recently become aware of the nature of a contract awarded to CGS by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement in December 2025. However, Capgemini did not have access to any classified information, classified contracts, or anything relating to the technical operations of CGS, as required by U.S. security regulations related to government contracts, he said. He added that the company would review the content and scope of this contract and CGS' contracting procedures.

Warren Buffett remains chairman of Berkshire Hathaway's board but relinquished the role of CEO at the end of last year. Warren Buffett may no longer be the chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway, but the legendary investor isn't soon to be forgotten, considering his six decades at the helm of the company and all the wonderful lessons he taught people day in and day out. Additionally, many of Buffett's investments and decisions at Berkshire are likely to endure for many decades, given Berkshire's philosophy of finding stocks it can hold forever. Before retiring, Buffett and the Berkshire team plowed at least $58 billion into one sector, which is now starting to play out. Let's take a look. Buffett and Berkshire bought the dip in oil Since the pandemic, Berkshire has plowed into oil and gas in several ways. The company has purchased large stakes in stocks in the sector and beefed up Berkshire Hathaway Energy through several acquisitions, as noted below: Berkshire built its position in Chevron CVX +3.33% ) Berkshire built its position in Occidental Petroleum OXY 0.07% ) In 2020, Berkshire Hathaway acquired the natural gas and storage assets of Dominion Energy in a deal that totaled nearly $10 billion when you factor in the assumption of debt. In July 2023, Berkshire Hathaway Energy spent $3.3 billion to buy a 50% stake in the Cove Point liquefied natural gas facility that was owned by Dominion Energy. In October 2024, Berkshire Hathaway paid nearly $2.4 billion to acquire the remaining 8% of Berkshire Hathaway Energy it didn't already own. In 2025, Berkshire acquired Occidental Petroleum's petrochemical division, OxyChem, for about $9.7 billion in cash. The unit manufactures water treatment, healthcare, and other commercial chemicals. All these investments total about $58 billion, though the Chevron and Occidental stakes can obviously change in value quickly. These moves are significant, considering Berkshire has not been a big buyer of stocks in recent years an...

Israel’s ambassador to China has hailed the historical connections between the two countries and called for closer socioeconomic ties in a rare column for Chinese state media. Eli Belotserkovsky’s signed Chinese-language article for state news agency Xinhua comes amid global conversation over the Board of Peace , US President Donald Trump’s newly created body to tackle the Palestinian issue. The Jewish and Chinese civilisations had amassed rich historical wisdom and knowledge over millennia, Belotserkovsky noted in the article published on the Xinhua website on Friday. If combined, that wisdom would not only have a “profound” impact on Israel and China but also “benefit all humanity”, he said.

2月车市走向几何？ 一月收官，新能源车企“成绩单”密集公布。 从已发布的数据看，鸿蒙智行以57,915辆的交付量领跑； 问界、赛力斯双双突破4万辆大关紧随其后，而小米与零跑也站稳3万辆以上的高位。 鸿蒙领跑，赛力斯、小米等紧跟 鸿蒙智行1月累计交付57915台，同比增长65.6%。 赛力斯1月汽车销量4.59万辆，同比增长104.85%，其中新能源汽车销量43034辆，同比增长140.33%。 问界汽车1月交付40016辆，同比增长83%。 1月，小米汽车交付量超过39000台。 零跑汽车1月全系交付达32059台，同比增长27%。 1月，理想汽车交付新车27668辆。 1月，蔚来公司交付新车27182台，同比增长96.1%。截至目前，蔚来公司已累计交付新车1024774台。 极氪1月交付达23852台，同比劲增99.7%。 小鹏汽车1月共交付新车20011台。 岚图汽车1月交付10515辆，同比增长31%。 比亚迪1月销量210051辆， 乘用车及皮卡海外销售100009辆，新能源累计销售超1530万辆。 2月车市面临较大下行压力 进入2026年1月， 汽车市场仍面临不小压力，经销商库存压力依然显著，终端销售动能尚未完全恢复。 最新数据显示，2026年1月中国汽车经销商库存预警指数为59.4%，虽同比改善2.9个百分点，但环比仍上升1.7个百分点，且持续位于荣枯线（50%）之上。 中国汽车流通协会分析指出，受新能源汽车购置税退坡、需求透支及春节较晚等多重因素叠加影响，2026年1月汽车市场动能偏弱。尽管春节前1-2周或涌现刚需及返乡群体购车小高峰，但 春节长假导致有效销售时间较短，同时返乡潮对大中城市客流影响较大，2月车市面临较大下行压力。 近期，地方层面再度加码以旧换新政策。1月30日，上海市发布《2026年大规模设备更新和消费品以旧换新政策通知》，明确对个人消费者置换购买新能源或2.0升及以下燃油乘用车给予补贴，其中新能源车最高可享车价8%（封顶1.5万元）的补贴。这是继中央层面后，地方推动汽车消费的又一实际举措。 回顾2025年，全国以旧换新政策成效显著。财政部数据显示，相关产品销售额超2.6万亿元，惠及约3.6亿人次。在汽车领域，以旧换新带动销量超1150万台，其中新能源汽车占比近60%，证明政策有效释放了升级需求、并推动了新能源渗透。 在此背景下，仍有机...

By Nikunj Ohri and Aditya Kalra NEW DELHI, Feb 1 (Reuters) - India's government on Sunday handed a major win to Apple by allowing foreign companies to provide machines to their contract manufacturers in certain areas for five years ​without any tax risk. Apple has been growing in India in recent years as it diversifies beyond China. Counterpoint Research ‌says iPhone's share of the Indian market has doubled to 8% since 2022. And while China still accounts for 75% of global iPhone shipments, India's share ‌has quadrupled to 25% since 2022. Apple had been lobbying India's government to modify its income tax laws to ensure the company is not taxed for ownership of the high-end iPhone machinery it provides to its contract manufacturers. In India, unlike China, Apple was concerned that if it paid for machines for its contract manufacturers, Indian law could consider that a so-called "business connection" and impose taxes on its iPhone sales profits. ⁠That had forced its contract manufacturers Foxconn and ‌Tata to themselves spend billions of dollars on machines. India on Sunday said that "to promote manufacturing of electronic goods for a contract manufacturer", it is making certain law changes to ensure that mere ownership of ‍machines by a foreign company does not lead to taxes on it. The decision was made public as part of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's 2026-27 annual budget, presented on Sunday. The move could prompt Apple and other companies to invest rapidly in the electronics manufacturing space by taking over initial ​expenses for pricey machines, reducing the initial cost burden on contract manufacturers they partner with. "We are saying that if you bring ‌your machine, and that machine is used by a local manufacturer to produce something, we will ... exempt you for 5 years. We are giving them certainty," Revenue Secretary Arvind Shrivastava said at a post-budget press conference. FASTER SCALE-UP AND GREATER CONFIDENCE Smartphone manufacturing is a key pl...

Sanphire/iStock via Getty Images What will Kevin Warsh do when he becomes the next chairman of the Federal Reserve System? The questions are "out there." Investors want to know. The backstory on the nomination of the next Fed chair is that President Trump wants someone to be the Fed chair whom he can control. Trump wants to be in charge. Trump wants to be able to dictate policy. Trump wants...right now...lower interest rates. Trump wants a Federal Reserve chairman who is going to give him what he wants. But the nomination of Mr. Warsh presents some problems. Is Kevin Warsh going to be the "lackey" that many people believe that Trump wants? There seem to be quite a number of analysts who believe that Mr. Warsh will not be that lackey. The Wall Street Journal claims that " Kevin Warsh Is the Right Choice for the Fed ." This headline is followed by the statement: "He knows where the central bank has gone wrong and how to fix it." This doesn't sound like the description of someone who is just going to do what the president wants. But Warsh has been around. He has a record. Some analysts believe that the record leaves mixed signals. For example, the Wall Street Journal claims, " Wall Street Can't Decide Whether Kevin Warsh Will Be a Friend or Foe ." The article ends by citing Peter Boockvar, the chief investment officer at OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners, as saying that "Warsh's complicated history makes it hard to immediately discern his likely policies as Fed chair." "Will the real Kevin Warsh please stand up?" But Mr. Warsh has gone through the elimination process. Trump had other choices. Trump must have confidence that he is going to get some support for his lower interest rate regime. Trump would not put someone into such an important position if he did not think that he was going to get some kind of support for what he wants to get done. So, "Wall Street" is kept hanging. Mr. Warsh has credentials. Mr. Warsh has a "good" record. Mr. Warsh is respected. Yet, Trump is ...

Key Points Prediction market contracts enable investors to predict the future price of a specific cryptocurrency or the outcome of a specific cryptocurrency event. Prediction market contracts are regulated by the CFTC, and are just another type of financial derivative. Trading prediction market contracts involves the same level of risk as trading futures or options contracts, so buyer beware. 10 stocks we like better than Robinhood Markets › Over the past 90 days, only 12 of the top 100 cryptocurrencies are in the green. Many -- including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) -- are down 25% or more during that time period. Against that backdrop, it might seem impossible that crypto investors are making money these days. But there's one way to make money in a down market that is relatively new: investing in prediction market contracts.

How to invest in prediction markets For crypto investors, prediction market contracts can be divided into two basic types: those that attempt to predict the future price of a specific cryptocurrency, and those that attempt to predict the outcome of a specific crypto industry event. For example, investors can attempt to predict the future price of Bitcoin. On the Robinhood app, you click on the "Investing" tab, click on the "Prediction Markets" link, and then hit the "Crypto" tab.

Apple is struggling to secure enough semiconductor manufacturing capacity. Sales of Apple's (AAPL +0.62%) iPhone are booming. Revenue from the iPhone soared 23% year over year in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, marking the best-ever performance for Apple's flagship product. However, sales could have been even better. Apple uses TSMC to manufacture its custom iPhone chips, and there currently isn't enough supply to meet demand. The AI boom and the subsequent demand for AI accelerators have created an industrywide shortage. "We are currently constrained, and at this point, it is difficult to predict when supply and demand will balance. The constraints that we have are driven by the availability of the advanced nodes that our SoCs are produced on," said Apple CEO Tim Cook during the earnings call. Cook wouldn't comment on how the supply situation would evolve, or how the company planned to address it. However, Apple's admission that it's likely leaving money on the table is incredibly good news for Intel (INTC 4.50%). The Intel rumors are looking more likely Late last year, an analyst noted that visibility into a potential deal for Apple to use Intel Foundry for some of its manufacturing needs had improved. The rumor was that Apple was considering a variant of the Intel 18A process, the same process being used for Intel's Panther Lake chips, for lower-end M-series chips. Other analysts used this apparent foundry progress as one justification for upgrading Intel stock, and the rumor was further fleshed out to include Apple considering the upcoming Intel 14A process for some iPhone chips in 2028. While it's unlikely that a deal between Intel and Apple has been reached, it does seem likely that the two companies are moving in that direction. Cook's comments that Apple is facing manufacturing constraints amid strong demand for its iPhones lend some legitimacy to these rumors. Another factor: Apple is reportedly no longer TSMC's largest customer, and it may be losing the ...

Apple Admitted Something on Its Earnings Call That Intel Investors Need to Hear fool.com

Hope Mill theatre, Manchester Amy Gavin’s production amps up the dangerous dance of desire and violence between these troubled ex-spouses but loses the delicate balance between comedy and malice Noël Coward’s 1930 play, revived by Her Productions just a couple of months before another production comes to the Royal Exchange across town, is famous for its balance of comedy and malice. At its centre are acrimoniously divorced couple Amanda and Elyot, who bump into each other while honeymooning with their new spouses. Soon the fierce love that first brought them together has rekindled and they abscond together, initiating a dangerous dance of desire and violence. Both the play and director Amy Gavin’s production are at their best when trembling on the knife-edge between carnality and cruelty. After a gratingly broad first act introduces us to the protagonists and their insipid new partners, things settle when we arrive in Amanda and Elyot’s Parisian bolthole and get drawn into their tumultuous relationship. Here there’s a sense of how quickly love can sour into contempt, as the pair alternately sizzle and spar, a slap never far from a kiss. Gavin’s intervention of projecting recorded images from the couple’s stormy marriage on the surface behind them unnecessarily hammers home what we can already see playing out. Continue reading...
