New electoral maps are erasing Black representations. The effort takes its cues from American history Early this month, a single pen stroke effectively ended representative Steve Cohen’s career in Congress. The man who has represented Memphis for 19 years will turn 77 later this month, but he wasn’t planning on retiring. He hadn’t lost any primary. The reason was that his district had been erased ...
New electoral maps are erasing Black representations. The effort takes its cues from American history Early this month, a single pen stroke effectively ended representative Steve Cohen’s career in Congress. The man who has represented Memphis for 19 years will turn 77 later this month, but he wasn’t planning on retiring. He hadn’t lost any primary. The reason was that his district had been erased around him. A new electoral map , passed by the Republican-led state legislature and signed by Bill Lee, the governor, divides the ninth district three ways. “Last week Tennessee Republicans silenced the Black vote here in Memphis to make Republican victories likely,” Cohen said in his statement. That’s succinct and accurate. Jamil Smith is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...
With new data suggesting a global retreat from US Treasuries in March – the first full month of the US-Israel war on Iran – market worries are on the rise over whether the sell-off could deepen, as interest rate decisions under new Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh, US debt sustainability and prolonged Middle East tensions raise investor concerns.

With new data suggesting a global retreat from US Treasuries in March – the first full month of the US-Israel war on Iran – market worries are on the rise over whether the sell-off could deepen, as interest rate decisions under new Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh, US debt sustainability and prolonged Middle East tensions raise investor concerns. Analysts are currently weighing mounting inflation pressures – which have driven Treasury yields sharply and placed the 30-year yield at its highest...

Nvidia (NVDA) will release its first-quarter fiscal 2027 financial results on Wednesday, May 20. Despite dominating the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, Nvidia stock is trading surprisingly cheap, and its valuation multiple fails to reflect the company’s solid growth trajectory driven by AI infrastructure spending. Nvidia continues to benefit from a massive surge in demand for its advanced graphics processing units (GPUs), as hyperscalers and enterprises race to expand AI computing capacity. That demand wave appears far from over. More News from Barchart In fact, Nvidia management recently raised its expectations for next-generation AI chip platforms Blackwell and Rubin. Earlier, Nvidia projected cumulative GPU demand tied to those architectures at about $500 billion. Nvidia has now doubled that outlook, saying demand and purchase commitments could surpass $1 trillion by 2027. That forecast highlights that a significant amount of capital is still flowing into AI infrastructure and suggests Nvidia may remain one of the biggest winners of the AI spending cycle for years to come. With demand for AI chips remaining exceptionally strong, Nvidia could once again deliver explosive revenue and earnings growth in Q1, which may support its share price rally. Nvidia: Blockbuster Q1 Ahead Nvidia is poised to deliver another superstar quarter as demand for its GPUs continues to surge across hyperscalers, enterprises, and sovereign AI projects worldwide. The company’s data center business will once again account for the bulk of its revenue. Notably, Nvidia’s data center business generated $193.7 billion in revenue in fiscal 2026, up 68% year-over-year (YOY). Nvidia’s management expects momentum to continue throughout calendar 2026, with sequential revenue growth throughout the year. In addition, Nvidia has secured sufficient supply and inventory commitments to support demand through 2027, which augurs well for growth. A major driver behind Nvidia’s solid data center revenue is ...

PLTR, Salesforce Inc. CRM, Atlassian Corp. TEAM, Cloudflare Inc. NET and HubSpot Inc. HUBS. Here are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog: Buy 5 AI-Powered Internet Software Laggards for Huge Short-Term Upside The Zacks-defined Internet Software industry is benefiting from the high demand for AI-powered Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions backed by the increasing need for remote working, learning and diagnosis software.
