Good morning, it’s Angus in Sydney. Firmus Technologies has been valued at $5.5 billion in its latest fundraising round, providing a floor for one of Australia’s most keenly anticipated potential IPOs. The Australian government is intensifying efforts to ease fuel supply concerns as President Trump escalates threats against Iran. And the Artemis II astronauts have made history — and taken some fabulous photographs. — Angus Whitley, Global Business reporter What’s happening now Firmus Technologies , the data center builder expected to list in Sydney this year, raised $505 million in an investment round led by Coatue Management LLC, part of a global push to finance artificial intelligence infrastructure. The deal values the startup at $5.5 billion, Firmus said . Nvidia, the top maker of AI accelerator chips, participated in the round. Westpac Chief Executive Officer Anthony Miller warned the conflict in the Middle East has raised the risk of a recession in Australia, saying that it was unclear how long supply chain disruptions from the Iran war could take to work their way through the economy. Miller said in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that “circumstances have changed so much that a recession is a chance.” Australia’s government said it has received guarantees from major fuel exporting nations in Asia that supplies will proceed as normal despite the disruptions caused by the war in Iran. Assistant Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Matt Thistlethwaite told Sky News he had received pledges from Japan, South Korea and Singapore that shipments would continue. Australia is turning to the US and Mexico for fuel supplies to offset disruptions from its traditional Asian partners, Energy Minister Chris Bowen said, as the nation works to ease shortages sparked by the war in Iran. What happened overnight Oil climbed and stocks whipsawed after President Donald Trump signaled that an escalation of strikes on Iran could come as soon as Tuesday, oversh...

US Secretly Repositions Bulk Of Stealth Cruise Missiles For Iran War President Trump has set a Tuesday evening deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Tehran facing severe consequences if it refuses. Trump’s messaging suggests the next phase of the conflict could shift toward strikes on power plants, bridges, and other critical infrastructure nationwide. New reporting from Bloomberg suggests that the Department of War shifted a large share of its JASSM-ERs, formerly the AGM-158B Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range, a long-range, conventional, air-launched stealth cruise missile fired from bomber aircraft and fighter jets, from Pacific theater stockpiles and U.S. warehouses to bases supporting the Gulf theater. Sources told the outlet that the JASSM-ERs shifted out of U.S. warehouses in late March were being delivered to Central Command bases or to Fairford in the UK. Neither the report nor its sources disclosed all the CENTCOM bases to which the stealth cruise missiles were being sent. In recent days, large waves of U.S. transport planes have been observed flying from the U.S. into Europe, suggesting the DoW may already be laying the groundwork for resupplying munitions to the Gulf theater. Bloomberg noted, "After the moves, only about 425 JASSM-ERs out of a prewar inventory of 2,300 will remain available for the rest of the globe. That would be roughly enough for 17 B-1B bombers on a single mission. Another 75 or so are 'unserviceable' because of damage or technical faults." The Air Force has described the JASSM-ER as having a range of more than 500 nautical miles, compared to about 200 nautical miles for the earlier JASSM. The JASSM-ER allows U.S. forces to strike Iranian targets from farther away and with lower risk to aircrews - and comes after multiple U.S. military aircraft have been shot down, resulting in daring rescues of the crewmen. The Air Force noted the JASSM-ER is already integrated into the B-1, B-2, B-52H, F-15E, and ...

Samsung Electronics Co. earned a stronger-than-expected eight-fold leap in quarterly profit, underscoring robust demand for memory chips used for artificial intelligence and data centers even amid uncertainties triggered by war in the Middle East. The chips-to-smartphones conglomerate reported preliminary operating profit of 57.2 trillion won ($37.9 billion) in the March quarter — a record — versus analysts’ average projection for 39.3 trillion won. Revenue climbed to 133 trillion won, against the average estimate of 116.8 trillion won. The company will release a full financial statement, including net income and divisional breakdowns, later this month. Samsung’s shares, which gained more than 120% last year, have shed about 12% from their peak in February, hurt by fears that the conflict in Iran may spiral into higher prices and interest rates and hurt the durability of booming spending on AI hardware. Customers led by cloud service providers are ramping up Samsung’s orders, lifting both volumes and margins. The average selling price of global DRAM surged 64% in the first quarter from the previous quarter, Citigroup analysts Peter Lee and Jayden Oh wrote in an April 2 report. Samsung dominates global memory supply along with SK Hynix Inc. and Micron Technology Inc. The trio has increasingly shifted production in recent years toward high-bandwidth memory used in Nvidia Corp. ’s AI accelerators, tightening supply of conventional memory. Samsung’s first-quarter operating profit dwarfs its performance in other quarters and compares with the 43.6 trillion won the company generated in all of 2025. South Korea’s semiconductor exports — a bellwether of global technology demand — soared 151.4% in March to a record $32.8 billion, government data show. Analysts remain upbeat on South Korea’s biggest company, largely dismissing concerns about AI optimization by offerings such as Google’s TurboQuant or Anthropic’s Claude Mythos . Citigroup forecasts annual operating profit of 3...
