AI is all the rage today, but the next big tech advance could be quantum. Here are two ETFs that let you invest in the next big thing. Technological change moves quickly. Currently, the news is filled with advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), which is essentially an incredibly powerful computer program. The next significant leap in technology could be in computing power, as highlighted by the advancements being made in quantum computing. The field is still in its early stages of development, so buying individual quantum computing stocks can feel a bit risky. But you don't have to avoid the sector. You can simply shift gears and buy a quantum exchange-traded fund (ETF). Here are two options that might interest you today. Why go with an ETF? In the technology sector, it is challenging to predict which businesses will emerge as long-term winners. Being first isn't enough if another company introduces better technology to achieve the same goal. Google overtaking Yahoo! in web search technology is a great example of the risk. Buying individual stocks also requires you to take on idiosyncratic risk, since each company comes with its own pluses and minuses. For example, if you buy Tesla (TSLA +3.10%), you have no choice but to accept the eccentric nature of CEO Elon Musk. Musk's words and deeds have had a mixed impact on the stock price over time, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. You can sidestep the challenge of picking individual winners and minimize idiosyncratic risk by owning a portfolio of quantum computing stocks. You don't have to do much work to build such a portfolio, either, because there are exchange-traded funds that have already done it. In one investment, you gain a diversified portfolio of quantum stocks, enabling you to place a broad-based bet on the long-term growth of this emerging technology.

BlueScope Steel Ltd. shares surged in Sydney, after the company said it was considering a A$13.2 billion ($8.8 billion) takeover bid by US steelmaker Steel Dynamics Inc. and Australian conglomerate SGH Ltd . Long-time suitor Steel Dynamics and Kerry Stokes -controlled SGH offered A$30 per share for BlueScope, a 23% premium to Monday’s closing price, under a deal that will allow the US buyer to take over the company’s North American operations with SGH retaining the remainder. Shares in Australia’s largest steelmaker rose as much as 19% to A$29.21 in early trading. The offer, which Bluescope has said is non-binding and indicative, marks a step toward further consolidation in the strategically important steel sector. BlueScope has long been viewed as a potential takeover target given the scale of its North American operations, which have become a particularly attractive proposition since the Trump administration imposed steep tariffs on steel to shield US producers. BlueScope’s North American operations accounted for about 45% of revenue, according to the company’s 2025 annual report. It owns a steel mill in Ohio, about 80 miles from a Steel Dynamics-owned operation, as well as a building products business. “The acquisition of BlueScope’s North American Assets will be highly complementary to our existing operations and further expands our capabilities domestically,” Steel Dynamics Chief Executive Officer Mark Millett said in a statement. “The combination of BSL’s North American teams and assets with SDI would be an excellent fit in every sense and create value for all stakeholders.” Steel Dynamics shares closed 2.4% lower in New York on Monday. “This transaction is not a surprise — North American steel mills have eyed BlueScope’s North Star mill in Ohio as an attractive asset for a while,” analysts at Citigroup Inc. wrote in a note Monday. “The challenge was separating the North American assets from the rest of the company.” BlueScope also disclosed that it had previo...

Since its release, NVIDIA has continued to push performance of the Grace Blackwell-powered DGX Spark through continuous software optimization and close collaboration with software partners and the open-source community. These efforts are delivering meaningful gains across inference, training and creative workflows. At CES 2026, the latest DGX Spark software release, combined with new model updates, and open-source libraries provide significant performance improvements for both DGX Spark and OEM GB10-based systems. Scaling large models locally with unified memory and NVFP4 DGX Spark is designed for working locally with large models, featuring 128GB of unified memory in a compact desktop form factor. Two DGX Spark systems can be connected to deliver 256GB of combined memory, enabling developers to run even larger models locally. The systems connect using ConnectX-7 networking, providing 200 Gbps of bandwidth for fast, low-latency multi-node workloads. Support for the NVIDIA NVFP4 data format enables next-generation models to dramatically reduce memory footprint while boosting throughput. For example, running the Qwen-235B model using NVFP4 precision and speculative decoding delivers up to a 2.6x performance increase compared with FP8 execution on the same dual DGX Spark configuration. With FP8 precision, the model saturates the combined memory of two systems, limiting multitasking and overall responsiveness. Quantizing to NVFP4 reduces memory usage by approximately 40% while maintaining high accuracy, allowing developers to achieve FP8-equivalent results with significantly higher performance and enough free memory to run multiple other workloads simultaneously. The result is a noticeably more responsive and productive local AI development experience. Open-source collaboration drives additional performance gains NVIDIA’s collaborations with open-source software partners continues to push performance further. Llama.cpp updates deliver an average 35% performance uplift w...

00:00 And Amrita, before we get to that meeting. I just want you to give me some perspective here as to why we're seeing so much strength right now in oil and other commodities prices. This just the idea that we're going to see a lot more of these products on the market. Well, if that's the case, then prices should be falling, not rising. Right. So I think what we have seen is a little bit of a dichotomy, right? In the in the morning we had prices down mainly because generally the expectation in the market has been there will be more Venezuelan oil. It might take a while years if you ask us. And I think it'll be a trickle, not a flood. But the expectation has been more oil. But then over the course of the day, we started to rally in part because if you look at the very short term, the US blockade remains in place, Sanctions remain in place. Venezuelan exports have already halved and the risk is actually that we get even a bigger decline right now. So if anything, the short term story is bullish. That's why we've seen the rally also because the market is actually really short, the biggest short position in ten years in Brent. And I think that's kind of a technical move because ultimately we are in an oversupplied market, so we shouldn't be looking at any significant price rallies. I am curious, I mean, how much did Venezuela's oil sales actually contribute to what we see publicly in terms of prices, whether you're looking at Brent? Because, I mean, technically, they're not supposed to be selling a lot of that oil. The fact is that the sanctions. So I am curious as to how much of that is actually even reflected in the public prices. It's a great question to me. Is Chevron's allowed to take back the oil to the US Gulf Coast? It's about, you know, it about 250,000 barrels per day. I'm rounding over here, but that's a tiny proportion. The bulk of the oil they were producing at the peak, about 1.1 million barrels a day last summer. Obviously, it's now fallen a few hundred...

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. CES 2026: all the news, gadgets, and innovations from the biggest tech show The latest MSI Crosshair gaming laptop announced at CES today doesn’t make any major changes, but does manage to fit improved specs into less space. According to MSI, the Crosshair 16 Max HX is 14.3 percent thinner than its predecessor, a difference of 2mm. The slightly more svelte chassis comes with slightly updated specs, including a second-generation Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series GPU, up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 16-inch (2560 x 1600) 240Hz OLED display. The revamped Crosshair also supports MSI OverBoost Ultra, allowing users to boost the GPU by up to 115W and the CPU by 85W (or 140W when focused exclusively on the CPU). Image: MSI While the Crosshair 16 Max HX has some updates over the previous generation, it maintains the more inconspicuous chassis design. The 2026 Crosshair has a bit of RGB on the keyboard, but otherwise keeps the design fairly low-key, with an MSI logo and subtle mecha-style accents on the lid. The Crosshair 16 Max HX is expected to launch as early as April 2026 starting at $1,649.

At CES 2026 on Monday, NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) unveiled a shift in autonomous vehicle (AV) development with the release of the open-source Alpamayo family. NVDA stock is moving. See the chart and price action here. Previous self-driving systems relied on separate modules for “seeing” (perception) and “steering” (planning), while Alpamayo introduced vision language action (VLA) models that possess human-like reasoning capabilities. Read Next: What To Expect At CES 2026: Nvidia, AMD, Joby, Archer, D-Wave And More The “Reasoning” Revolution A core challenge in autonomy has been the “long tail,” which is rare, unpredictable road scenarios that traditional algorithms fail to navigate. Nvidia says Alpamayo 1, a 10-billion-parameter model, addresses this by using chain-of-thought reasoning. “The ChatGPT moment for physical AI is here — when machines begin to understand, reason and act in the real world,” said Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia. “Robotaxis are among the first to benefit. Alpamayo brings reasoning to autonomous vehicles, allowing them to think through rare scenarios, drive safely in complex environments and explain their driving decisions — it’s the foundation for safe, scalable autonomy,” Huang added. Much like a human driver might think, “There is a ball in the street, so a child might follow,” Alpamayo 1 generates trajectories alongside logical traces. This transparency is crucial for helping developers and regulators understand why a vehicle made a specific decision. A Three-Pillar Ecosystem Nvidia is providing a full-stack open development environment: Component Description Alpamayo 1 An open VLA model that acts as a “teacher,” allowing developers to distill its complex reasoning into smaller, faster models for use in actual cars.

Dell Technologies Inc. is bringing back its well-regarded XPS laptop brand after discontinuing it last year, as a top executive said the PC business had “gotten a bit off course.” The high-end XPS series had been a mainstay on tech reviewers’ laptop best-of lists when Dell announced last January that it would be moving to simpler naming conventions. The new names — such as Dell Pro and Dell Pro Max — drew jeers from consumers, who said the rebranding was eerily reminiscent of some Apple Inc. products. Now, Texas-based Dell is reinstating the brand, it said Monday during CES, the annual consumer electronics show happening this week. “We’ve gotten a bit off course in our PC business, and the accumulated impact is we’ve underperformed,” said Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke during a briefing with reporters ahead of the conference. Clarke, who took direct control over the personal computer unit last summer, said that tariffs, the “unmet promise of AI” and “one of the slowest CPU transitions I have ever been involved in” culminated in a year that “hasn’t quite been what we thought it was going to be.” “Quite frankly, I owe you an apology today,” he added, addressing customers and what he called industry experts. “We didn’t listen to you. You were right on branding.” Limited configurations of two new models, the XPS 14 and XPS 16, will be available beginning Tuesday, Dell said, with a 13-inch model in the pipeline for later this year. The initial XPS 14 is priced at $2,050 while the XPS 16 is $2,200. Additional versions of the two laptops, including those priced at less than $2,000, will be available in February, Dell said. The two notebooks, which will compete directly with Apple’s 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air, similarly have aluminum enclosures, compact designs and slim bezels around the display. They measure 14.6 millimeters (about 0.6 inches) thick, making them Dell’s thinnest laptops, according to the company. The 14-inch model weighs about 3 pounds (1.36 kilograms...
