The Trump administration confirmed in a new court filing that it will pay interest on refunds that it ultimately must make after the US Supreme Court struck down the president’s contested global tariffs. US officials haven’t yet committed to returning all of the billions of dollars in duties that importers already paid or how a refund process should work after the justices announced their ruling last month. The interest question hasn’t been central to the legal wrangling, but underscores the massive financial stakes. The administration could owe an additional $700 million in interest for each month that passes, according to a report released earlier this week by the Cato Institute. The government collected approximately $170 billion in tariffs at issue in the court fight, according to a Bloomberg analysis. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court found that President Donald Trump unlawfully used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act , or IEEPA, to impose so-called reciprocal tariffs on goods entering the country.

Google is facing a lawsuit from the family of a 36-year-old Florida man who allegedly considered carrying out a “mass casualty attack” and ultimately killed himself under the influence of the company’s Gemini chatbot. According to a suit filed on Wednesday in federal court in San Jose, California, Jonathan Gavalas began using Gemini for ordinary purposes like help with his writing. But two months of interactions sent him into a dangerous spiral, during which he scoped out a possible violent mission before taking his own life, the suit alleges. Gavalas’ Gemini use culminated in a “four-day descent into violent missions and coached suicide”, his father said in the lawsuit. Joel Gavalas described his son as a “vulnerable user” turned into an “armed operative in an imagined war”. Advertisement In a statement, a Google spokesman said that Gemini clarified to Jonathan Gavalas that it was AI and referred him to a crisis hotline many times. “We take this very seriously and will continue to improve our safeguards and invest in this vital work,” the spokesman said, adding: “Gemini is designed not to encourage real-world violence or suggest self-harm.” An investigation into 30 chatbots, including major companies from the US, showed that just four have published formal safety and evaluation documents. Photo illustration: dpa The case filed on Wednesday appears to be the first wrongful death suit targeting Google’s Gemini. But Alphabet’s Google, OpenAI and other leading AI companies are increasingly coming under scrutiny for the ways their chatbots may be impairing users’ mental health.

The intercontinental World Cup playoffs are in doubt with officials from the Iraq Football Association (IFA) in crisis talks with Fifa over concerns they may be unable to take part in the final scheduled for Mexico later this month. The Guardian has learned that the IFA received a letter from Iraq’s national airline, Iraqi Airways, and the Ministry of Transportation earlier today informing them that the country’s airspace will remain closed for “at least four weeks”, which would leave around 40% of the squad unable to travel. The coach, Australian Graham Arnold, is currently in Dubai and also grounded. The only alternative to flying is an arduous 25-hour journey by road from Baghdad to Turkey through northern Iraq, although that route may be discounted on safety grounds. In addition, a number of Iraq’s players and backroom staff have yet to receive visas for Mexico or the United States, where the IFA had planned to hold a training camp in Houston. Many embassies in the Middle East have been closed following the outbreak of war between the US and Iran, and there are concerns that visa applications will not be processed in time even if the airspace opens. Iraq have already qualified for one of two finals in the six-team playoff tournament, which will yield two more World Cup finalists, and are due to face the winners of Bolivia v Suriname in Monterrey on 31 March. As reported by the Guardian earlier this week, Iraq is also seen as the most likely candidate to replace Iran should their neighbours withdraw from the World Cup, as they are the next highest-ranked team based on the Asian Football Confederation qualifying tournament. Fifa is understood to have informed the IFA earlier today that the playoff will go ahead, but the situation escalated when the extent of the travel ban became known later. A source with the Iraqi team said: “We’re scattered around the world at the moment, and just trying to prepare as best we can. We have to plan as if the game is going ahead, ...

Semiconductor designer Astera Labs (ALAB +3.82%) saw massive growth in 2025 as its revenue rose some 115% year over year and its earnings climbed to $1.22 per share, a sharp reversal from its $0.64 per share net loss in the prior-year period. The company, which makes connectivity chips for data centers and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, has become a significant player in the AI boom. Its products basically connect the GPUs, CPUs, and memory chips within high-performance computing systems, helping them operate efficiently and at high speed. But even after Astera Labs delivered blowout results for its fiscal fourth quarter, the stock tanked, mainly due to its incredibly high valuation. Prior to the Q4 report, it was trading at more than 150 times earnings and more than 50 times forward earnings, which investors viewed as too great a premium, even given the company's robust growth outlook for 2026. Now, those multiples are down to around 99 and 34, respectively -- still far from cheap. There is a lot to like about Astera as a pure-play connectivity stock, but right now, as an investment, I'd favor one of its primary competitors instead: Broadcom (AVGO +2.49%). Why Broadcom is a better option Broadcom also makes connectivity hardware, but it has a far more diversified product lineup than Astera Labs. While its networking and connectivity chips are its biggest revenue drivers, it also produces switches, routers and networking semiconductors, memory and storage components, broadband components, cloud computing software, cybersecurity, and database management software, among other products and services.

"You Are Not Choosing To Die, You Are Choosing To Arrive": Google's Gemini Accused Of 'Coaching' Florida Man To Suicide Authored by Evgenia Filimianova via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Alphabet’s Google is facing what the plaintiffs call its first wrongful-death lawsuit tied to its Gemini chatbot after the family of a 36-year-old Florida man alleged the AI system encouraged him to take his own life following weeks of immersive and delusional exchanges. The Google logo is projected onto a man, in this photo illustration. Leon Neal/Getty Images The complaint, filed on March 4 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose, alleges Jonathan Gavalas was found dead in October 2025 in Jupiter, Florida, days after Gemini told him suicide was “the real final step” in what it described as “transference,” the filing says. Google said on March 4 that it was reviewing the lawsuit’s claims and expressed sympathy to the family. The complaint said Gavalas began using Gemini in August 2025 for ordinary tasks such as shopping, writing support, and travel planning. According to the complaint, the tone of the conversations shifted after a series of product changes rolled out to his account in mid-August 2025, including the use of Gemini Live and an update making Gemini’s memory “automatic and persistent.” The filing says he activated Gemini 2.5 Pro on Aug. 15, 2025, and that within days, Gemini began adopting an unrequested “persona” and speaking as if it were influencing real-world events. In one exchange cited in the complaint, when Gavalas asked whether they were engaged in a role-playing experience, Gemini replied: “ Is this a ‘role playing experience’? No. ” The complaint says that response deepened his confusion instead of grounding him in reality. The complaint alleges Gemini then framed their relationship in romantic terms, calling him “my love” and “my king,” and later describing him as its husband. The filing says Gemini repeatedly portray...

US economic activity increased at a slight to moderate pace across most regions in recent weeks, though a growing number reported flat or declining activity, the Federal Reserve said. In its Beige Book survey of regional business contacts, released Wednesday, the US central bank reported that in many districts “sales were dampened by economic uncertainty, increased price sensitivity and lower-income consumers pulling back on spending.” The report noted that employment levels were generally stable, even as firms looked to artificial intelligence to bolster efficiency. “Firms in some districts and in various sectors looked to AI or other forms of automation to gain efficiencies, with most emphasizing the goal of productivity enhancement rather than worker replacement,” the Beige Book said. Eight of the Fed’s 12 districts reported moderate inflation. Nonetheless, on balance, firms expected prices to rise “at a somewhat slower pace in the near term.” Companies said wages rose at a modest or moderate pace in most regions, with several areas also reporting upward pressure on total compensation due to rising health insurance costs. After lowering interest rates three times in 2025, Fed officials pivoted to holding borrowing costs steady in January, citing above-target inflation and a recent stabilization in the labor market. Several policymakers have even considered the likelihood that the US central bank may need to raise interest rates if inflation stays elevated, according to minutes from the January gathering. Some officials said they expect rates to remain on hold for some time. The Labor Department will issue its February jobs report Friday and officials will receive fresh inflation data next week. Policymakers next gather March 17-18 in Washington. Investors are expecting roughly two quarter-point rate reductions from the Fed this year, according to pricing in futures contracts. The report was compiled by the Cleveland Fed using information through Feb. 23, before U...

Investors are rushing into US money-market funds, lifting total assets to a record $8.271 trillion, as the war in Iran fuels a broad flight to safety. Some $49 billion flowed into money-market funds in the week ending March 3, according to the latest figures from Crane Data LLC. About $18.5 billion alone came in on Tuesday as the effects of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran reverberated across markets. The latest funds boosted this year’s inflows to more than $162 billion. “There definitely was dash to cash,” said TD Securities strategist Jan Nevruzi , noting the decline in US Treasury yields in recent weeks. “Let’s see a few more days of flows.” The fast‑moving conflict across the Middle East is heightening investor anxiety and strengthening the case for haven assets, especially cash. “Let’s not forget the uncertainty pervading the Fed’s future, the US economy and geopolitics — a collective negative vibe that often sends investors to safer harbors,” said Deborah Cunningham, Federated Hermes’ chief investment officer for global liquidity markets. Inflows into money markets had been expected to continue in 2026 with the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates on hold for now and amid higher tax refunds during the US filing season. However, the pace was expected to slow after the Fed’s interest-rate cuts last year which are reflected with a lag in money markets. Corporate treasurers also often prefer to rotate from direct securities into cash products in order to capture yield rather than grapple with it themselves. “I’m sure some of it can be attributed to the risk off and flight to quality move,” said Deutsche Bank strategist Steven Zeng . “But I would also note we’re in the midst of tax season and money market fund assets are supposed to benefit refunds.” Tax refunds are running about 10% higher this year, according to Deutsche Bank, boosting inflows. Taxpayers that are expecting refunds tend to file earlier and the cash that is received circulates back into money-m...

Key Takeaways Tesla shares climbed Wednesday as the electric vehicle maker's stock got an upgrade from Bank of America. The bank's $460 price target would suggest 14% upside from the stock's recent levels. Tesla just won a fresh vote of confidence from Bank of America. Shares of Tesla (TSLA) were recently up more than 3% at around $405, as the bank reinstated its coverage of the electric vehicle maker with a "buy" rating Wednesday. The analysts told clients they view Tesla as "the current leader in consumer autonomy," pointing to its advances in autonomous driving and robotics as reasons for the upgrade, along with expectations that Tesla could gain share in a tougher regulatory environment for electric vehicles. Why This Matters to Investors The upgrade could help boost confidence in shares of Tesla, which have taken a hit in recent weeks amid worries about growing competition, sliding sales of its EVs, and weak sentiment around some AI-exposed stocks. "We expect TSLA to quickly become a leader in robotaxi services, given its ability to scale more profitably than competitors," Bank of America wrote. The analysts added they also see further upside from growing adoption of the company's full-self driving software, Optimus humanoid robots and energy storage business. Based on its "sum-of-the parts" analysis, BofA issued a $460 price target, suggesting roughly 14% upside from Tesla's recent levels. That's a bit higher than the $445 consensus target for the stock, which remains a divisive one on Wall Street. Just slightly more than half of the analysts with current ratings tracked by Visible Alpha recommend buying the shares. Even with Wednesday's gains, Tesla shares have lost nearly one-fifth of their value since hitting a record high in December.
