Emma Raducanu has been handed a tricky first-round test at the French Open against Argentine clay-court specialist Solano Sierra. British number one Raducanu missed out on a seeding for the clay-court Grand Slam after falling to 37th in the world rankings. The draw could have been less kind than 64th-ranked Sierra, given there was the prospect of Raducanu facing one of the world's very best. However, Italy's 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini potentially awaits in the second round should Raducanu beat Sierra. British number two Katie Boulter will open against American wildcard Akasha Urhobo, while Francesca Jones - the only other Briton in the women's singles - faces Brazil's 2023 semi-finalist Beatriz Haddad Maia.

The primary catalyst behind the morning dip stems from broader market concerns. Tech and growth stocks face pressure as investors recalibrate their expectations for interest rates. Market futures tracking major indices show weakness, with Nasdaq futures down 0.44% and S&P 500 futures dropping 0.26%. Treasury Yields and Federal Reserve Outlook Fixed-income markets continue to signal an environment of prolonged high interest rates, which traditionally pressures high-multiple tech companies like Palantir. The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.58%, while the two-year bond hovered at 4.06%. Additionally, projections from CME Group's FedWatch tool indicate that markets are pricing in a 96.8% likelihood that the Federal Reserve will leave interest rates unchanged at its upcoming June meeting. Axios Scoop Highlights Defense Contract Battle According to a filing obtained by Axios on Thursday, Palantir is battling the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency for the ability to bid for a contract to modernize its data analytics system. Palantir did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment. Palantir Stock: Key Levels To Watch From a longer-term trend view, Palantir is still in a repair phase: the stock is trading 1.6% below its 20-day SMA, 5.3% below its 50-day SMA, 9.3% below its 100-day SMA, and 16.8% below its 200-day SMA. The crossover picture also stays heavy, with the 20-day SMA below the 50-day SMA and a death cross in February (the 50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA). RSI at 47.82 in the neutral zone. Key levels are fairly defined for traders watching where the next trend decision could happen: Key Resistance : $162 : $162 Key Support: $128.50 PLTR Stock Price Activity: Palantir Technologies shares were down 1.12% at $135.61 during premarket trading on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

(Bloomberg) -- The S&P 500 Index has had a fitful 2026 as it aims for a fourth-straight year of double-digit percentage gains, something it hasn’t done since the 1990s, while contending with risks from the war in Iran and rising inflation. Most Read from Bloomberg But one high-profile culprit is most responsible for holding back the market: Microsoft Corp. The software giant is down 12% this year, making it by far the biggest drag on the index’s 8.3% gain, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. While Meta Platforms Inc. and Tesla Inc. are the next closest, their moves amount to a fraction of Microsoft’s weight. Microsoft shares were up slightly Thursday after the Information reported that Anthropic is in early talks to rent servers powered by Microsoft-designed AI chips. The stock has otherwise been struggling amid tepid results from Microsoft’s cloud-computing division, which fueled concerns about the company’s position in the artificial intelligence landscape and caution about the scale of its AI-related spending. It also has gotten caught up in investors’ broader angst about software’s growth potential in an AI world. “There are a lot of problems Microsoft has to solve, a lot of questions where we haven’t gotten good answers on its ability to successfully transition into a more AI-forward company,” said Howard Chan, chief executive officer at Kurv Investment Management, which owns Microsoft shares. “Its death has been exaggerated many times, and with sentiment so negative we see more upside than downside. But until we get answers, I don’t think it’s going to be smooth sailing.” Meanwhile, the two other major players in cloud computing, Alphabet Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., are putting up double-digit percentage gains in 2026. With the Nasdaq 100 Index rising 15% in 2026, Microsoft is on pace for its third-straight year trailing the tech-heavy benchmark, and if the gap between the two lasts through the end of December, it would mark the most severe underperformance...

Rising gas prices have been a recurring headline since the Trump administration started its war against Iran in late February, but it’s not the only commodity affected by the conflict. Around 10% of the world’s aluminum is made in the Gulf region, so prices of the metal have reached levels not seen in the last several decades. Even before the war in Iran, the U.S. government had flagged aluminum as a critical mineral. A large share of U.S. demand for aluminum is met by imports, and much of the metal the country does produce is recycled. For recycling startups, it’s a good time to be in business. “Aluminum might be 1% of the garbage stream, but it often trades for over $1,000 per ton,” Matanya Horowitz, CTO at waste sorting startup Amp, told TechCrunch. “It actually ends up being one of the most significant individual commodities.” Aluminum is one of the most recycled materials in the U.S., but even then, only about 20% is recovered, according to the EPA. Waste sorting startups have been pitching AI as a way to improve those figures. Sortera, a metals recycling startup, recently opened its second facility in Tennessee, the company exclusively told TechCrunch. The new site doubles the company’s processing capacity to 240 million pounds, of which 90% to 100% is aluminum. That’s a sizable fraction of the 4.3 million metric tons the U.S. used last year. The Indiana-based startup focuses on sorting aluminum scrap. It uses a range of different sensors, including lasers, cameras and X-ray fluorescence, to feed AI algorithms that classify each potato chip-sized piece of scrap to identify the specific grade of aluminum. By separating the grades at higher accuracy, Sortera can make more profit per pound. Amp has taken a different approach, using an AI-powered sorting system to sift through both recycling and general waste streams. This system uses sensors, including visible light and infrared cameras, to identify everything from wrappers to foil, and differentiate plastics fro...

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Earlier this month, SpaceX and Anthropic announced a new compute partnership that provides access to the rocket company’s Colossus data centers in Memphis, TN. Now, with the release of SpaceX’s IPO filing, we have more details about that deal, including how much Anthropic is paying to Elon Musk’s company. In its S-1 filing, SpaceX said that Anthropic agreed to pay $1.25 billion per month through May 2029 for access to SpaceX’s AI training centers at Colossus I and Colossus II. That’s $15 billion annually, or nearly double the $18.7 billion in revenue that SpaceX reported in all of 2025. The agreement includes a clause in which either company can terminate the deal within 90 days. And Anthropic’s fees will be reduced during the capacity ramp-up this month and next. The exit clause was likely necessary based on the fast-moving nature of the AI industry. In some sense, Anthropic’s Claude competes with X’s Grok. And it’s a sign of how desperate AI companies like Anthropic are for compute capacity, especially as the data center build out across the country runs into serious local opposition. In a post on X, Musk said that SpaceX stands ready to offer similar deals to other AI companies that want to access the data centers. SpaceX is “offering AI compute as a service at significant scale,” he said. SpaceX has been spending enormous amounts of money on AI since the company merged with Elon Musk’s xAI earlier this year. According to the filing, the rocket company spent $12.7 billion in capital expenditures on AI in 2025, or about 61 percent of the total spend. It spent $7.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026, compared to just $1 billion on its space division. SpaceX’s AI division lost $6.3 billion in operations on ...
