Billionaire Bill Ackman said that he was &#8220;bullish&#8221; as the money market funds hit a record, hinting that any rate cuts could direct these monies into the equity markets.
What Happened: The founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., emphasized his &#8220;bullish&#8221; view while highlighting an X post by Barchart, which underscored that the money market funds hit a staggering $7.4 trillion as of the most recent data.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Ackman&#8217;s stance reflected optimism, suggesting this capital could flood into equities if interest rates drop. This was supported by historical data from 40 years showing that a rate cut follows solid gains for the S&amp;P 500 over one to three years, as highlighted <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnjennings/2024/10/21/how-the-stock-market-performs-after-federal-reserve-rate-cuts/">by</a> Forbes.
During volatile times, investors increasingly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/06/46087443/money-market-funds-on-fire-as-902-billion-pours-in-why-these-safe-haven-investments-are-thriving-now">favor money market funds</a> or cash equivalents, a clear sign of heightened caution amid ongoing economic uncertainty and fluctuating interest rate outlooks. &#8211;
However, the Federal Reserve and its Chair Jerome Powell remain unfazed and continue to be in the &#8220;wait-and-see&#8221; mode as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46336115/as-trump-calls-for-3-percentage-point-rate-cut-too-late-jerome-powell-to-resign-june-fed-minutes-show-uncertainty-reigns-supreme">June Fed minutes</a>, released Wednesday, mentioned the words &#8220;uncertain&#8221; and &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; around 28 times. 
The possibility of a tariff-induced inflation has kept some Federal Open Market Committee members on hold, while some participants are ready to start cutting again.

However, his views were aligned with Ackman&#8217;s that once the Fed starts cutting rates, the markets are poised for further upside.

Bill Ackman Cheers Money Market Funds Hitting Record $7.4 Trillion As Jerome Powell Snubs Trump's Rate Cut Demands

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is considering an additional multibillion-dollar investment in Anthropic to deepen its strategic artificial intelligence partnership. 
What Happened: The potential deal would extend Amazon&#8217;s existing $8 billion commitment to the San Francisco-based AI model builder. The Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3e569928-dc0e-4baa-80c3-b51d24facb23">reported</a>, citing sources.
The investment would position Amazon to remain among Anthropic&#8217;s largest shareholders alongside Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), which has invested over $3 billion in the company. 
Amazon executives view the partnership as a critical bulwark against the Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and OpenAI alliance, which has dominated early AI commercialization efforts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46336365/apples-data-center-chief-joins-openai-as-sam-altman-jony-ive-team-up-in-6-4-billion-io-deal">through a $14 billion investment</a>.
&#8220;We quickly realized that we had many shared goals that were fundamentally critical,&#8221; said Dan Grossman, Amazon&#8217;s vice president of worldwide corporate development. &#8220;The size of the [existing investment] represents our ambition.&#8221;
Amazon&#8217;s &#8220;fair value&#8221; stake in Anthropic is approximately $13.8 billion, according to regulatory filings. The investment structure uses convertible notes with caps preventing either Amazon or Google from owning more than one-third of the company. 
Amazon and Anthropic did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The partnership extends beyond financial backing into operational integration. Amazon outlined plans for &#8220;Project Rainier,&#8221; a massive data center initiative in New Carlisle, Indiana, designed to power Anthropic&#8217;s computing needs. The facility will draw 2.2 gigawatts when completed, surpassing Oracle Corp.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) 1.2-gigawatt campus for OpenAI in Texas.
The investment comes as AI competition <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46335602/elon-musk-s-xai-launches-grok-4-with-phd-level-ai-debuts-in-300-month-supergrok-tier">intensifies across the technology sector.</a> Elon Musk&#8216;s xAI recently launched Grok 4, claiming &#8220;PhD-level&#8221; capabilities that outperform competitors, including Anthropic&#8217;s Claude models.

Amazon May Pour Billions More Into Anthropic As $13.8 Billion AI Bet Grows: Report

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Wednesday, saying that the loss of the U.S. Dollar&#8217;s global reserve status would be tantamount to &#8220;losing a major world war.&#8221;
What Happened: &#8220;You ever hear the expression &#8216;the dollar is king?&#8217; The dollar is king. We're going to keep it that way,&#8221; Trump said, while speaking to the media on Wednesday.
However, Thierry Wizman, a global FX and interest rate strategist at Macquarie, believes the shift away from the dollar is already underway, and is happening gradually across financial systems.
&#8220;No, the dollar is not still king,&#8221; Wiseman said, while talking on Bloomberg&#8217;s The Opening Trade on Wednesday, adding that &#8220;There's plenty of indications out there that de-dollarization is taking place.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/07/46243290/this-billionaire-tech-investor-regrets-not-buying-bitcoin-everyday-believes-the-asset-can-more-than">This Billionaire Tech Investor Regrets Not Buying Bitcoin Everyday, Believes The Asset Can More Than Double In Value</a>
He pointed to a &#8220;slow drip&#8221; of changes, including declining allocations to the dollar by reserve managers, foreign lenders asking clients to transact in alternative currencies like the Chinese renminbi, and increased diversification by pension funds and private investors.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not staring you in the face, and it&#8217;s a slow drip,&#8221; he says, on why most people haven&#8217;t paid much attention to it, and thus live in denial.
Wiseman noted that institutional investors, including pension funds and semi-official entities, are diversifying their holdings in ways that mark a structural shift in the dollar's dominance. He emphasized that this trend is less about cyclical interest rate differences and more about geopolitical disillusionment and declining U.S. policy credibility.
&#8220;We may have managed chaos, but we certainly don't have ordered liberty anymore,&#8221; he says, referring to the prevailing policy uncertainty and the diminishing stable, rule-based, and predictable order that got foreign investors to trust the U.S. system in the first place.
Asked what could reverse this momentum, Wiseman pointed to the need for renewed U.S. policy stability, trade reengagement, and a reduction in social and fiscal tensions, though he cast doubt on any near-term reversal.
Why It Matters: Despite Trump&#8217;s recent statements, a few market experts and analysts believe he views the Dollar&#8217;s reserve status as &#8220;more of a burden to the U.S. economy than a blessing.&#8221;
David Lubin, a Chatham House expert, says this is all part of a policy push by the Trump Administration to permanently weaken the dollar, to narrow the trade deficit, while encouraging manufacturers to return.
Economist&nbsp;Kenneth Rogoff said last week that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46238927/dollar-supremacy-under-threat-despite-a-slowing-china-absolutely-says-this-economist-beijing-is-the-largest-trading-partner-for-half-the-world-and-theyve">China is gaining traction</a> in its bid to dethrone the dollar, and this was despite a slowdown in the domestic Chinese economy. 
&#8220;China doesn&#8217;t have to grow at 7% in order to establish the yuan as more of a currency,&#8221; he said, highlighting the fact that it is already the largest trading partner for more than half of the countries in the world. &#8220;So they&#8217;re there. They&#8217;ve arrived,&#8221; he says.
Price Action: The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is up 0.11%, trading at 97.404 on Thursday, against a basket of other currencies. The greenback has, nonetheless, witnessed a steep decline year-to-date, and is currently down 10.27% since the beginning of this year.

Trump Warns Losing Dollar Reserve Status Would Be Like Losing 'A Major World War,' But Analyst Says It's Already Happening: 'The Dollar Is Not Still King'

A North Korean defector residing in South Korea is set to file a lawsuit and criminal complaint against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for human rights violations.
What Happened: Choi Min-kyung, a North Korean defector, intends to file a lawsuit against Kim Jong-un and four others—including officials from the Ministry of State Security—for violating international criminal law,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/foreignaffairs/northkorea/20250709/n-korean-defector-to-file-lawsuits-in-s-korea-against-kim-jong-un-over-human-rights-crimes">reported</a>&nbsp;The Korea Times on Wednesday.
The lawsuit and criminal complaint are being filed by the&nbsp;Database Center for North Korean&nbsp;Human Rights (NKDB) on behalf of Choi. She was repatriated to North Korea in 2008 after fleeing to China in 1997.&nbsp;After her repatriation, Choi alleged that she endured human rights violations—such as sexual abuse, physical assault, and torture—while held in a North Korean detention center.
Choi, who now heads a group representing families of North Korean detainees, hopes the legal action will spotlight the country's human rights abuses. 
The NKDB announced that this will be the first-ever lawsuit filed by a human rights victim born in North Korea. The group also intends to pursue additional action through the U.N. human rights body and the International Criminal Court.

Why It Matters: This lawsuit comes amid growing international scrutiny of North Korea&#8217;s activities, particularly those pertaining to the U.S.. In June, it was revealed that North Korea was secretly infiltrating American businesses via remote jobs, funneling millions into North Korea&#8217;s economy and jeopardizing U.S. data security.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Justice took significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189017/us-busts-5-million-north-korean-it-scam-americans-chinese-taiwanese-among-those-arrested">action against </a>North Korea's illicit financial activities, which involved remote IT workers operating within American tech firms. These events add context to the lawsuit, highlighting the ongoing international tension and scrutiny surrounding North Korea.
Furthermore, Kim and North Korea have lately been vocal critics of the Trump administration. In May 2025, North Korea&#8217;s foreign ministry expressed strong disapproval of the U.S. Golden Dome missile defense shield project, terming it a &#8220;very dangerous threatening initiative.&#8221; It also criticized the U.S. strikes on Iran.

Kim Jong Un To Face Criminal Lawsuit For First Time Ever From A North Korean Defector Over Human Rights Violations

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly preparing for a key diplomatic mission to China, where the company plans to launch a scaled-down AI chip compliant with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46266218/us-plans-to-restrict-ai-chip-exports-to-malaysia-thailand-to-curb-diversion-to-china">U.S. export restrictions</a>.
What Happened: The processor is a modified version of its Blackwell RTX Pro 6000 chip and omits advanced features such as high-bandwidth memory and NVLink, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/e496f80f-1789-46b3-9275-a3f54344047e">reported</a> the Financial Times, citing people with knowledge of the plans.
Nvidia is expected to unveil a new AI chip tailored specifically for the Chinese market as early as September.&nbsp;
Huang is also planning to meet with top Chinese officials, including Premier Li Qiang and Vice Premier He Lifeng, during next week's International <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45967009/nvidia-to-appear-at-chinas-top-supply-chain-expo-despite-escalating-us-china-chip-war-beijing-calls-participation-a-vote-of-confidence">Supply Chain Expo</a> in Beijing, the report said.
The schedules have not yet been finalized and are still awaiting approval from the Chinese side.

"China has one of the largest populations of developers in the world," Nvidia said in a statement to the publication, but denied saying anything about the new chip&#8217;s design. "While security is paramount, every one of those applications should run best on the U.S. AI stack."
Nvidia has changed its financial strategy after U.S. export controls blocked AI chip sales to China, causing a $2.5 billion revenue loss in the first quarter of 2025. Last month, Huang said Nvidia will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45918580/nvidia-drops-china-from-guidance-after-2-5-billion-q1-revenue-hit-ceo-jensen-huang-says-hes-not-">no longer include China</a> in its forecasts due to ongoing restrictions, calling any future China revenue a "bonus."

Nvidia Prepares China-Specific AI Chip Amid US Export Curbs As CEO Jensen Huang Plans Beijing Visit Next Week To Reassure Market: Report

The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against California, blaming the state&#8217;s egg regulations for the surge in egg prices across the nation.
What Happened: The Trump administration has accused California of contributing to the nationwide increase in egg prices. The administration has filed a lawsuit to challenge California&#8217;s egg production laws.
The lawsuit states, &#8220;The State of California has contributed to the historic rise in egg prices by imposing unnecessary red tape on the production of eggs
California Governor&nbsp;Gavin Newsom, Attorney General&nbsp;Rob Bonta, and other state officials have been named as defendants in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit, which was filed on Friday, targets three California laws: AB 1437, Proposition 2, and Proposition 12. The administration argues that these laws, which regulate egg production and quality, have led to a decrease in egg production, thereby driving up prices.
The lawsuit also challenges the state&#8217;s minimum-space requirements for farm animals, introduced by Proposition 12 in 2018. The administration contends that these regulations fall under the federal government&#8217;s jurisdiction, in accordance with a 1970 federal law that establishes standards for eggs and egg products.

Why It Matters: The surge in egg prices has been a recurring issue, with President Donald Trump attributing the problem to the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of inflation during the 2024 election.
However, there was a significant drop in egg prices with prices falling by 61% since January, as reported by Fox Business early in June. This drop in prices coincided with the Trump administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43998434/trump-team-commits-1-billion-to-combat-bird-flu-lower-egg-prices-hopefully-by-summer-says-usda">commitment </a>in February to invest $1 billion in combating the bird flu epidemic and increasing egg imports.
In April, a Clarify Capital study found that over 30% of Americans stopped buying eggs due to high prices. Analysts noted that weaker demand and fewer new bird flu cases helped bring prices down.

Trump Administration Sues Gavin Newsom, Other State Officials Over California's Egg Laws Driving Up Prices Nationwide: 'Unnecessary Red Tape'

The Education Department will restart interest charges on federal student loans held by 7.7 million borrowers in President Joe Biden's stalled Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, repayment plan, the agency said Wednesday.
What Happened: Interest will <a href="https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-continues-improve-federal-student-loan-repayment-options-addresses-illegal-biden-administration-actions">begin</a> accruing August 1, ending a year-long, court-ordered forbearance that had kept balances frozen while the administration defended the program against lawsuits from Republican-led states.
The advocacy group Student Borrower Protection Center <a href="https://protectborrowers.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Memo-SAVE-Forb-Rising-Costs-and-Executive-Action.pdf">estimates</a> that the average enrollee could accrue roughly $3,500 in interest over 12 months, or approximately $300 per month. The department stated that the change is required by a February appeals court ruling that broadened an injunction to cover the entire regulation underpinning SAVE, including its interest subsidy.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon, installed under President Donald Trump, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2025/07/09/trump-ends-interest-subsidy-bidens-student-loan-repayment-plan/">told</a> The Washington Post that Biden had "used so-called ‘loan forgiveness' promises to win votes," but courts found those actions unlawful.

Borrowers can still postpone payments through the same forbearance, but interest will now grow unless they switch to another income-driven plan — a process slowed by a 2 million-application <a href="https://protectborrowers.org/new-court-filing-reveals-backlog-of-2-million-borrower-payment-plan-applications/">backlog</a> at loan servicers. McMahon urged borrowers to "quickly transition to a legally compliant repayment plan."
Why It Matters: The decision follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46211326/one-big-beautiful-bill-passes-senate-with-jd-vances-tie-breaking-vote-trump-says-its-going-to-go-very-nicely-in-the-house">Trump's signature last week</a> on the sweeping "One Big Beautiful Bill," which shutters SAVE to new enrollees and gives current participants until July 2028 to exit. Consumer advocates called the new interest charges a back-door way to push borrowers out sooner.
Critics also questioned the timing. The February order does not explicitly demand reinstating interest and previous department guidance told SAVE borrowers that interest would remain paused until the legal situation changes.
SAVE, unveiled in 2023, promised lower payments and faster forgiveness but has remained in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39849095/appeals-court-blocks-bidens-save-student-loan-debt-relief-plan">legal limbo</a> since a Missouri-led coalition sued, arguing Biden lacked congressional authority for the multibillion-dollar initiative.

ASE Technology Reported June Revenue Of $1.66B, Up 14.2% YoY, With Q2 Revenue Rising 11.2% To $4.84B

The U.S. Senate voted to approve President Donald Trump's pick, Bryan Bedford, as the FAA Administrator.
What Happened: The Senate voted 53-43 in favor of approving Bedford, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
Bedford, who was the CEO of Republic Airways, stepped down last week after 25 years at the company following Trump's nomination, the report suggests. Bedford has been approved for a five-year term.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Bedford's nomination has been slammed by Democrats, with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) saying that the administration is prioritizing profits over passenger safety, as Bedford's commitment to upholding the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46311783/chuck-schumer-slams-trumps-faa-chief-pick-bryan-bedford-over-1500-hour-rule-he-will-weaken-safety-standards">1,500-hour flight training rule</a> has been put into question.
Bedford, meanwhile, has said that the U.S.'s Air Traffic Control system needs "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45876762/trumps-faa-nominee-says-significant-investment-needed-to-upgrade-air-traffic-control-report">significant investment</a>" as the FAA has dealt with outages as well as staff shortages. He will oversee the Trump administration's $12.5 billion allocation to revamp the ATC tech.
Elsewhere, the agency has said that it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/07/46335831/spacexs-starlink-undergoes-widespread-faa-testing-to-improve-air-traffic-control-systems-report">ramping up testing</a> of Elon Musk's Starlink internet service at 41 facilities in the U.S. in a bid to bolster the aging system.

Senate Confirms Trump Pick Bryan Bedford As FAA Chief Even As Chuck Schumer Warns He Will Prioritize 'Profits Over Passenger Safety'

OpenAI Inc. has recruited Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) director of data center engineering as the artificial intelligence company bolsters its physical infrastructure capabilities amid a $6.4 billion acquisition of designer Jony Ive&#8217;s hardware startup.
What Happened: Spas Lazarov, who spent nearly 11 years at Apple overseeing data center operations across North America, Europe, and Asia, joined OpenAI as a technical staff member, according to a Wednesday announcement by OpenAI President Greg Brockman on X. Brockman confirmed the company is &#8220;building out our physical infrastructure team&#8221; with multiple new hires.

Prior to Apple, Lazarov worked for 26 years at General Electric Co., including as director of critical power systems engineering. He serves on the global advisory council at Infrastructure Masons, an industry group focused on data center development.

Why It Matters: The hire coincides with OpenAI&#8217;s completed acquisition of io Products Inc., Ive&#8217;s design startup, for approximately $6.4 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46335969/openai-finalizes-6-5-billion-deal-to-acquire-jony-ives-ai-hardware-startup-heres-what-we-know-about-their-first-device">an all-stock transaction announced in May</a>. 
The deal integrates Ive&#8217;s 15-person LoveFrom industrial design team into OpenAI&#8217;s San Francisco operations, where engineers plan to develop <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/07/46247705/i-still-feel-responsibility-says-ex-apple-executive-sir-jony-ive-pledging-to-fix-techs-harms-with-6-4-billion-ai-device">custom silicon for natural voice dialogue systems</a>.

TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects the screen-free device to resemble a neck-worn iPod Shuffle with microphones and cameras. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described the prototype as &#8220;unobtrusive&#8221; and &#8220;fully aware&#8221; of surroundings, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/07/46247705/i-still-feel-responsibility-says-ex-apple-executive-sir-jony-ive-pledging-to-fix-techs-harms-with-6-4-billion-ai-device">designed to function without traditional screens</a>.

Taiwan Semiconductor's June Revenue Hit NT$263.71B ($8.3B), Up 26.9% YoY, With YTD Revenue Climbing 40% To NT$1.77T ($55.8B)

As the minutes of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s June meeting were released on Wednesday, the word &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; reigned supreme amid the ongoing tariff turmoil and President Donald Trump&#8216;s call to cut rates by 3 percentage points.
What Happened: The words &#8220;uncertain&#8221; and &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; appeared 28 times in the June 17-18 meeting minutes, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell mentioned the two words 19 times, as highlighted by Ed Yardeni from Yardeni Research.
&#8220;Most of the uncertainty faced by Fed officials has to do with Trump&#8217;s Tariff Turmoil (TTT). Collectively, they are leaning toward lowering the federal funds rate. But they are in no hurry to do so since they are worried that TTT might still boost inflation,&#8221; he said.
Meanwhile, the chief economist at LPL Financial, Jeffrey Roach, said that the key takeaways from the Federal Open Market Committee&#8217;s June 18 policy meeting suggested &#8220;The FOMC is comfortable remaining in wait-and-see mode. Despite headwinds, the economy continues to trudge along, giving policymakers time to assess the projected impact from tariffs.&#8221;
This comes amid Trump&#8217;s call for slashing the interest rates by 3%, highlighting that Powell was "Too Late" and it &#8220;is costing the U.S. 360 Billion Dollars a Point, PER YEAR, in refinancing costs.&#8221;

Trump has hinted at announcing Powell&#8217;s replacement and called for his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46237506/trump-says-jerome-powell-should-resign-immediately-after-fhfa-director-alleges-fed-chair-lied-about-2-5-billion-renovation-plan">resignation</a> on multiple occasions because of the Fed&#8217;s &#8220;wait-and-see&#8221; stance.
On Wednesday, Trump also imposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46334793/trump-sends-lula-a-letter-imposing-50-tariffs-calls-bolsonaro-trial-a-witch-hunt-brazils-president-hits-back-will-not-accept-any-form-of-tutelage">50% tariffs on Brazil</a>, escalating the trade tensions between the two nations. This was followed by a slew of letters posted on his Truth Social account to Japan, South Korea and other countries, with a deadline of making a deal by Aug. 1.

Why It Matters: According to the Fed Minutes takeaways, the FOMC members were also concerned about stagflation risks if inflation proved persistent while employment weakened.
&#8220;Surprisingly, members thought the uncertainty about inflation and the economic outlook had decreased. Yet, committee members wanted to take a careful approach in adjusting monetary policy,&#8221; said Roach.
The FOMC members also acknowledged that lower and moderate-income households were switching to lower-cost items, and these households could be disproportionately affected by tariff-related price increases.
Roach added that at LPL, they expect next week's inflation data to show a reacceleration, giving the Fed more reason to keep rates elevated. &#8220;We don't expect inflation readings will improve until later this year,&#8221; he added.

U.S. stocks settled higher on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 200 points during the session as investors shrugged off fresh trade uncertainty after the White House delayed the start of new tariffs to Aug. 1, raising hopes for new rounds of negotiations.
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) grabbed headlines once again, with its market capitalization hitting $4 trillion, solidifying its lead as the world&#8217;s most valuable company. According to the Financial Times, Nvidia is planning to launch a new AI chip designed specifically for China as soon as September.
On the economic data front, U.S. wholesale inventories declined by 0.3% month-over-month to $905.5 billion in May in line with the preliminary estimate and compared to a 0.1% increase in the previous month.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with information technology, utilities and communication services stocks recording the biggest gains on Wednesday. However, energy and consumer staples stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by 218 points to 44,458.30 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.61% to 6,263.26, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.94% to 20,611.34 during Wednesday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 75, the index moved to the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 74.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Why It's Important: Previously, it was reported that the io acquisition brings on board about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45746669/jony-ive-described-by-sam-altman-as-the-greatest-designer-in-the-world-joins-openai-in-6-5b-deal-to-build-a-totally-new-kind-of-thing">55 engineers and designers</a> from Apple and LoveFrom, including Tang Tan, Evans Hankey and Scott Cannon — all key figures behind the creation of the iPhone, Apple Watch and other flagship devices.
The acquisition was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">first announced in May</a>, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Ive unveiling plans to develop new AI hardware that moves beyond legacy interfaces like smartphones and laptops.

Oracle Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) cloud-services agreements have positioned the company as a leading force in the hyperscale cloud industry, according to analysts. The deals, which could add over $30 billion in yearly revenue by 2028, have sparked optimism about Oracle&#8217;s long-term growth prospects.
What Happened: In a regulatory filing last week, Oracle announced a series of significant cloud services agreements. These agreements, including one expected to generate over $30 billion in yearly revenue&nbsp;starting in fiscal year 2028, have been described as a &#8220;pivotal moment&#8221; in the company&#8217;s transition to a hyperscale cloud power, <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/oracles-stock-is-a-standout-in-the-software-sector-these-analysts-say-heres-why-657de921">reported</a> MarketWatch.
Analysts at Jefferies, led by Brent Thill, highlighted Oracle as a standout among large-cap software companies. The company is positioned to more than double its remaining performance obligations (RPO) while also speeding up its overall revenue growth. 
Analysts view these developments as a major turning point in Oracle's cloud strategy, with the potential to shift investor discussions around backlog growth, the timing of revenue acceleration, and the company's ability to capitalize on large-scale AI demand.

Although the deals will not impact revenue in fiscal year 2026, they're expected to improve Oracle's visibility into long-term sales trends and reinforce its position as a hyperscaler capable of landing massive contracts.
Why It Matters: Earlier in July, Oracle made headlines when it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46241424/openais-4-5-gw-lease-from-oracle-fuels-stargates-500-billion-vision">agreed to lease 4.5 gigawatts of computing power</a> to OpenAI, a key player in the AI industry. This lease was part of the $500 billion Stargate project for artificial intelligence data centers and infrastructure, which was announced by President Donald Trump. 
Oracle&#8217;s position in the AI industry was further bolstered when it offered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46270569/oracle-offers-deep-discounts-to-us-government-on-ai-cloud-and-database-tools-report">deep discounts on its AI, cloud, and database tools to the U.S. government</a>. This strategic move not only strengthened Oracle&#8217;s relationship with a major client but also showcased its commitment to becoming a key player in the AI sector.
Despite Oracle&#8217;s successes, it faces stiff competition in the AI infrastructure sector. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46291765/coreweave-ceo-bets-on-custom-built-software-stack-to-outpace-rivals-but-calls-oracle-a-formidable-competitor">CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator acknowledged Oracle as a strong rival</a> in the AI infrastructure sector, emphasizing the importance of CoreWeave&#8217;s unique selling point in differentiating itself from Oracle.
Price Action: Oracle closed at $235.81 on Wednesday, up 0.56%, and edged to $235.90 after hours. The stock is up 42.03% year to date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
