JHVEPhoto The Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) is evolving its index rules, like the ones that impact the flagship Nasdaq 100 ( NDX ). It's a big deal, given that more than $600B of exchange-traded funds are linked to the popular index, which is one of the key market gauges for investors. That's especially true for the biggest technology companies, which are fueling the artificial intelligence boom and beyond. What's happening? The biggest change coming to the Nasdaq 100 ( NDX ) will slash the time it takes for newly listed, large-cap companies to enter its main index. In the past, it took at least three months following an IPO for firms to be classified as eligible, to ensure that the market established a reliable share price and the stock no longer faced serious price swings. However, companies today generally wait much longer to list, ensuring they lock in a reliable amount of value before going public. As a result, the Nasdaq will shorten entry time to its benchmark index to a mere 15 trading days to give "a more accurate and timely representation of the investable market." "Industry professionals, including asset managers and institutional passive portfolio managers, were mostly supportive of the Fast Entry proposal and proposed timing,” Nasdaq said in response to possible concerns over volatility. The clearest upcoming beneficiaries are the expected blockbuster IPOs of SpaceX ( SPACE ) and OpenAI ( OPENAI ). Both will come to market with potential trillion-dollar valuations, meaning factoring these listings and their enormous amounts of value into the market sooner will have significant implications. Other changes: The new rules will take effect on May 1, along with several other revisions. Among them are the removal of the minimum 10% float requirement for eligibility, as well as low-float security weight adjustments, the replacement of the "10 basis point rule," and cessation of intra-quarter TSO adjustments. The Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) is not the only index provider that has been m...

Welcome to Tech In Depth, our daily newsletter about the business of tech from Bloomberg’s journalists around the world. Today, Vlad Savov writes about Sony’s PlayStation 5 price hikes. Tech Across the Globe Ajinomoto looks tasty: UK-based activist fund Palliser Capital has expanded its hunt for overlooked AI beneficiaries in Japan with a stake in seasoning maker Ajinomoto. Best known for its MSG products, Ajinomoto also provides an essential chip insulation film, which Palliser reckons should be priced higher. DeepSeek’s blip: DeepSeek’s chatbot suffered a major outage of more than seven hours overnight in China, forcing the AI pioneer to deploy several updates to rectify the issue. Uber acquisition: Uber agreed to buy the chauffeur-booking app Blacklane, just weeks after unveiling a new luxury ride option called Uber Elite. Revalued As investors brace for a protracted conflict in the Middle East, they’re electing to sell the technology stocks that have been among the market’s biggest winners in recent months. Memory chipmaker Micron closed 10% lower Monday and fell even further in post-market trading. In Seoul, Samsung slumped nearly 5% and SK Hynix dropped as much as 7.7% early on Tuesday. Living in peculiar times We’re only three months into 2026 and it’s already been a roller-coaster year. A sprawling winter storm in January froze operations for many businesses across the US, a month later the Supreme Court struck down sweeping global tariffs, but by March the Iran conflict erected new barriers and threats to steady global trade. On Friday, Sony cited the global economic upheaval in announcing a $150 price hike for its top-tier PlayStation 5 Pro — to $900 — while also taking its standard PS5 to $650. Adding 18% to the cost of a five-year-old console is not merely unusual; it’s running in the opposite direction of well established history of depreciation with these devices. Half a decade in, companies are usually thinking about how to streamline or improve the h...

Microsoft Corp. ’s business software ecosystem faces a UK antitrust probe starting in May to decide whether licensing practices for products such as Word, Excel and AI app Copilot need tighter regulation. The Competition and Markets Authority said Tuesday it will open the investigation to decide whether the company must be given so-called strategic market status, allowing the regulator to impose penalties and steps to improve competition. The decision follows “wider concerns” about Microsoft’s position in business softwares that include productivity software, operating systems and database management, the CMA said. “The embedding of advanced AI, including assistants and emerging ‘agentic’ technologies, into familiar workplace tools means this is a pivotal moment for the sector,” the CMA said. At the same time, the CMA said it would continue working with Microsoft and Amazon Web Services Inc. for steps to improve competition in the cloud services market. The pair have assured “material steps” to improve competition in the cloud services market and the CMA will keep them under review, the watchdog said. The announcement follow the CMA’s prior investigation into the cloud services market which flagged competition concerns. The CMA found Microsoft and AWS each cornered as much as 40% of the UK’s customer spend on cloud services, which also underpin artificial model development and deployment. Customers spent £10.5 billion ($13.9 billion) on cloud services in 2024, with spending growing by nearly 30% each year since 2020, according to the watchdog. Microsoft’s cloud changes focus on switching, and interoperability, according to Brad Smith, the company’s vice-chairman. “The cloud market itself remains intensely competitive, with large investments by Amazon , Google , Oracle , and new neo-cloud entrants and ironically with Google, a complainant in this review, growing faster in the last quarter of 2025 than Amazon or Microsoft,” Smith said in a statement.

RobsonPL Philip Morris International ( PM ) published its Value Report 2025 on Tuesday. The release highlighted the company's progress on its long-running shift away from cigarettes and toward smoke-free products and introduced its Value Plan 2030+, which will guide its next phase of sustainable growth. The Stamford, Connecticut-based company said its transformation now reaches well beyond product innovation, extending into capital allocation, stakeholder engagement, and how it measures success. Notably, CEO Jacek Olczak said the company views change as an ongoing process of improvement and adaptation rather than a project with a fixed end date. "We transform continuously because markets evolve, science advances, stakeholder expectations rise, and new opportunities emerge," he stated. The report indicated Philip Morris' ( PM ) smoke-free products were sold in 106 markets and used by about 43.5M adult consumers worldwide as of the end of 2025. Philip Morris ( PM ) also noted smoke-free products generated $16.9 billion in revenue last year, accounting for 41.5% of total annual revenue. Looking ahead, the company said its Value Plan 2030+ focuses on the six priorities of consumers and product health impact, circularity, climate change, nature and biodiversity, the workforce, and workers across the value chain. Philip Morris ( PM ) said those priorities are meant to align sustainability efforts with business performance and long-term resilience. Shares of Philip Morris ( PM ) are up 2.8% on a year-to-date basis.

Good morning . US gas prices top $4 a gallon. Donald Trump may be considering a new way to end the Iran war. And Instagram is testing out a feature that will allow you to view other people’s Stories anonymously. Listen to the day’s top stories . — Marcus Wright Market Snapshot S&P 500 Futures 6,424.75 +0.6% Nasdaq 100 Futures 23,241.50 +0.4% Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index 1,222.46 +0.0% Market data as of 06:54 AM ET. Data is subject to provider delays. US gasoline topped $4 a gallon for the first time since mid-2022, in one of the most visible measures of consumer pain resulting from the Middle East conflict. The spike came despite a Wall Street Journal report that Donald Trump may be willing to end the conflict even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Iran shows no sign of backing down—it hit a fully laden Kuwaiti oil tanker off Dubai in a drone attack. Read all the latest news from the war in our blog. Futures rallied as investors gained some confidence after the report on Trump’s potential willingness to end the war. The dollar is on track for its best month since 2024, with the conflict pushing investors to the world’s primary reserve currency. But the outlook for once high-flying chip stocks remains gloomy. In the words of Citi: “we’re looking at a world of sustained higher yields and sustained higher energy costs and that doesn’t help the AI sector .” Unilever said talks to sell most of its food business to French’s mustard maker McCormick are advanced and a final deal may be announced later today.

The R&B singer’s must-read autobiography candidly describes a life of heady highs and horrific lows Despite a 30 years-plus discography and a slew of undeniable classics (Sittin’ Up in My Room, The Boy Is Mine, modern R&B blueprint What About Us?) and deep cuts feted by the likes of Solange , Kehlani and Normani, there’s a sense that Brandy , the fan-anointed Vocal Bible, is still underrated. Her vividly told and occasionally harrowing memoir, Phases , co-written alongside Gerrick Kennedy and out on Tuesday, goes some way to explaining why that might be. As well as detailing her formative years in Mississippi and later California, where she learned her trade singing in church choirs and at youth groups, and later her meteoric rise as a teenage superstar, Phases paints a picture of a young woman whose insecurities were often exposed and abused by others. It also spotlights issues around duty of care in the music industry; in 1999, while nursing an addiction to diet pills, and juggling her role on the hit teen sitcom Moesha with a relentless recording and touring schedule, Brandy suffered a nervous breakdown at the age of just 20.

The crime bill proposes a stronger model of consent – and with violent imagery and child sexual abuse soaring, who, really, can argue against it? Susanna Rustin is the author of Sexed: A History of British Feminism Once you stop to think about it, the need for a law to ensure that participants have consented to appear in online pornography is obvious. Egregious past failures have been well documented. They range from the New York Times’s investigation of Pornhub, which concluded that one of the world’s biggest pornography businesses hosted videos featuring underaged and sex-trafficked subjects (Pornhub subsequently removed more than half of its content ) to the horrors uncovered in the trial of Dominique Pelicot. On the online chat site Coco he shared multiple videos of his then wife, Gisèle, being raped while unconscious in a chatroom called “without her knowledge” (Coco was shut down in 2024).
