In this episode, we unpack how the Standard and Poor’s five hundred hit new highs, driven by Tesla’s better-than-expected deliveries and Apple’s surprise upgrade, while energy and technology stocks gave extra fuel to the rally. We dig into Centene’s troubles dragging down health care, the thirty thousand job loss in the latest private report, and why everyone is waiting for the government’s next big employment snapshot. We look at Alibaba’s giant spending push to stay ahead of P D D Holdings and J D dot com in China, Lockheed Martin’s fresh contract covering Guam, Poland, and Romania, and K K R’s takeover victory in the United Kingdom. We talk about SoftBank’s Federal Trade Commission probe, U.S. Bancorp’s stress test victory, and Thoma Bravo’s new acquisition target. From Foxconn’s workforce pullback in India that rattles Apple’s plans to Coinbase’s next crypto play, plus Amazon’s bright outlook and Microsoft’s artificial intelligence spending squeeze, this story weaves through Wall Street’s bets, global manufacturing shifts, big tech’s privacy fines, and the hunt for the next growth wave in artificial intelligence and electric vehicles.
