Donald Trump has said he is postponing strikes on Iranian power plants for a five-day period, extending a deadline he gave the regime to open the strait of Hormuz. The US president had threatened to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants, while Tehran said in return it would ‘irreversibly destroy’ essential infrastructure across the Middle East, including vital water systems, in the conflict’s latest es...
Donald Trump has said he is postponing strikes on Iranian power plants for a five-day period, extending a deadline he gave the regime to open the strait of Hormuz. The US president had threatened to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants, while Tehran said in return it would ‘irreversibly destroy’ essential infrastructure across the Middle East, including vital water systems, in the conflict’s latest escalation. The war in the Middle East is now in its fourth week as Trump declares the US and Iran had ‘good and productive conversations’, but what could come next?

What Happened? Shares of data analytics company Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) jumped 4.4% in the afternoon session after the Pentagon designated its Maven AI system as a 'program of record' and the company secured a new trial contract with the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. The 'program of record' designation was a significant step, moving the AI weapons-targeting platform from a pilot program to a permanent, budget-backed fixture across all U.S. military branches. This change formalized the long-term adoption of the system, ensuring dedicated funding and embedding Palantir's technology deeper into core defense operations. Further boosting investor confidence, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority awarded Palantir a three-month contract to apply its Foundry platform to improve fraud detection. The development reinforced the view that Palantir continued to widen its footprint with government customers. Positive commentary from Wedbush, which reiterated its 'outperform' rating, also contributed to the bullish sentiment. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $157.17, up 4.3% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Palantir Technologies? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free. What Is The Market Telling Us Palantir Technologies’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 33 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 21 days ago when the stock gained 6.9% on the news that investor appetite for defense-linked artificial intelligence companies grew amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The conflict involving the U.S. and Iran turned attention toward companies with significant government and defense operations. As a key supplier of AI software to the U.S. government, Palantir was viewed as a potential beneficiary of increa...

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. Read More: Apple iOS 27 to Be No-Frills ‘Snow Leopard’ Update, Other Than New AI The WWDC gathering is typically a software-focused showcase, but the company has used the event to debut new hardware in the past. 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. Read More: Apple’s Foldable iPhone to Have iPad-Like Interface When Opened While Apple used to hold in-person sessions for developers to get deep dives on new features, the company moved to an online setup in 2020 due to Covid-19. That approach will continue this year, allowing Apple to reach more software creators. “WWDC is one of the most exciting ...

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...
