A pre-dawn presidential post claiming Apple had agreed to manufacture chips with Intel on American soil — unconfirmed by either company and already moving markets — set the tone for an extraordinary Thursday. The claim landed simultaneously on the phones of Apple executives, Intel lobbyists, and semiconductor analysts worldwide, sending Intel shares up nearly six percent overnight on nothing more than a social media assertion.

Anthropic sat at the center of two separate technology policy crises, Google and an autonomous agent called MIRA matched physician-level diagnostic performance in clinical trials, and a cybersecurity campaign compromised 73,000 Fortinet firewalls across 194 countries.
Goldman Sachs published analyses declaring the Strait of Hormuz may never fully recover as a primary oil transit route and calling the current AI capital-expenditure wave a full-blown supercycle.
