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.

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.

Thumzup Media Shares Spike 13% After Hours As Company Adds XRP, DOGE And These Coins To Treasury Along With Bitcoin

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;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114823635614745836"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="678" height="205" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/10020019/Trump-truth-social-fed.png" alt="" class="wp-image-979391" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/10020019/Trump-truth-social-fed.png 678w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/10020019/Trump-truth-social-fed-300x91.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px" /></a></figure>
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.
Price Action: U.S. stocks climbed Wednesday, buoyed by Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares soaring to an unprecedented $4 trillion market capitalization and a fresh all-time high, pushing the Nasdaq to close at a record high.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended higher on Wednesday.

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 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.

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>.

Billionaire hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman's wildcard doubles debut lasted just 63 minutes Wednesday as Australians Omar Jasika and Bernard Tomic routed Ackman and former Grand Slam champion Jack Sock 6-1, 7-5 in the first round of the ATP's Hall of Fame Open.
What Happened: The 59-year-old Pershing Square founder had hoped to become the oldest player to earn ATP ranking points, but his serve faltered early and the underdogs raced through the opening set in 21 minutes, as per a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-09/bill-ackman-s-quest-for-pro-tennis-win-falls-short-in-early-exit">report</a>.
Ackman did land a handful of crisp volleys, yet Sock's baseline rescue attempts could not force a decider.
Played on the historic lawns beside the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport's week-long tournament is the lone U.S. men's grass event and one of the tour's oldest stops, dating to 1881. Next season, it becomes a combined ATP-WTA 125 showcase offering equal prize money.

Why It Matters: Ackman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/sports/25/07/46253533/bill-ackman-swaps-wall-street-for-tennis-court-and-he-is-playing-to-win-you-never-know">secured the spot</a> after Sock's original partner withdrew. Critics quickly pounced. Vero Beach Futures director Randy Walker blasted the match on X as "the absolute worst professional tennis match I have ever seen."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Social-media jeers noted Ackman's name appears in none of the U.S. Tennis Association's competitive databases, while others mocked the hedge-fund star for chasing points without first grinding the lower circuits, as <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/yezensaadah/2025/07/09/absolute-worst-bill-ackmans-pro-tennis-debut-defeat-stirs-social-media-backlash/">noted</a> in a Forbes report. Supporters countered that the stunt drew near-sell-out crowds on a day when Wimbledon dominated headlines.
Ackman, who has poured millions into junior tennis philanthropy, has not said whether he will seek another tour wildcard. Sock is focusing on Major League Pickleball but hinted he may accept future doubles invites if the "right opportunity" arises.
For now, Newport's attention returns to its traditional draw and to the debate over whether celebrity money should ever eclipse merit on center court.

Bill Ackman Draws Near-Sell-Out Crowd But Also Social Media Scorn After Lopsided Loss In Newport Tennis Doubles Debut

The Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, has ramped up testing of SpaceX's Starlink satellite-based internet service as the agency hopes to improve the Air Traffic Control System.
What Happened: The agency is currently testing over 41 Starlink connections at facilities across the U.S., Bloomberg reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-09/faa-ramps-up-testing-of-musk-s-starlink-at-agency-facilities">on</a> Wednesday. The facilities include 2 in New Jersey, 28 in Alaska and over 11 in Oklahoma, the report suggests.
FAA says that it is using the system in Alaska "to restore stable access to weather information for pilots and the FAA's flight services stations." In the Oklahoma and Atlantic City facilities, the FAA could also consider installing wireless technology, the report said.
The agency made the decision as the previous systems experienced outages in the Philadelphia facility, leaving Air traffic control unable to communicate and guide pilots in and out of the Newark Airport in New Jersey, the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The news comes as there has been significant talk over updating the dated ATC technology, with the Trump administration's pick for the FAA administrator, Bryan Bedford, saying that the 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>" to improve the technology.
However, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) <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">slammed the Trump administration</a> and Bedford as the senator believes the administration would "prioritize profits over passenger safety" by axing the 1,500 hours of training currently required for aircraft pilots to obtain their license.
The FAA also said it was considering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/05/45341520/faa-mulls-cutting-flights-at-newark-airport-amid-staffing-woes-and-equipment-failures-report">scaling back operations</a> at the Newark airport due to the ATC losing communications with aircraft pilots due to the technology, as well as staff shortages.
Elsewhere, Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/07/46312510/elon-musks-spacex-insider-share-sale-could-push-valuation-to-400-billion-starlink-is-the-rocket-fuel">valued at over $400 billion</a>, as the latest fundraising efforts see the company selling off insider shares. The valuation is reportedly driven by Starlink and the company&#8217;s advancements in commercial space flight with its Starship spacecraft.

SpaceX's Starlink Undergoes Widespread FAA Testing To Improve Air Traffic Control Systems: Report

GIBO Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIBO#NASDAQ">GIBO</a>) experienced a surge of 28.11% after hours on Wednesday.
What Happened: The stock price of GIBO Holdings Ltd. rose by 28.11% after hours, reaching $0.043. This increase followed an 18.16% rise during the <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/GIBO:NASDAQ?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiqoIT_vLGOAxWwyzgGHXZcG7YQ3ecFegQINRAb">regular trading hours</a>, closing at $0.034.

The stock of the&nbsp; AI-driven animation streaming platform has been performing well in the market. The stock&#8217;s previous close was at $0.041, with a day range of $0.029 &#8211; $0.041. The year range for the stock was $0.029 &#8211; $24.18, with a market cap of 25.31M USD and an average volume of 17.32M.
Why It Matters: The recent surge in GIBO&#8217;s stock price follows a series of developments within the company. In May, GIBO Holdings announced the launch of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45692661/gibo-holdings-announces-launch-of-sparkrwa-a-next-generation-platform-designed-to-tokenize-inspirati">Sparkrwa</a>, a next-generation platform designed to tokenize inspirational intellectual property. This move was aimed at expanding the company&#8217;s digital ecosystem and creating new revenue streams.
Despite the strategic significance of this announcement, the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45475788/gibo-shares-fall-despite-announcing-new-monetization-module-for-ai-creators-whats-going-on">traded lower in May</a>, suggesting limited immediate investor enthusiasm or profit-taking after previous gains. The recent surge in stock price could indicate renewed investor confidence in the company&#8217;s long-term prospects.
Earlier in July, GIBO Holdings was also identified as one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/07/46270965/top-3-tech-and-telecom-stocks-that-are-set-to-fly-in-q3">top three tech and telecom stocks</a> set to perform well in the third quarter. This recognition could be contributing to the recent increase in the company&#8217;s stock price.
Price Action: GIBO shares closed down 18.16% at $0.0338 during regular trading hours on Wednesday, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gibo">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, GIBO Holdings Ltd. indicates a negative trend across the short, medium, and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance details are available here</a>.

Omnicom Group Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) made a historic move above $112,000 on Wednesday, sparking a broader market rally. But is it the beginning of a record-breaking rally or a short-lived spike before corrections?&nbsp;&nbsp;
What happened: The apex cryptocurrency<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/07/46334779/bitcoin-breaks-112000-ethereum-dogecoin-surge-amid-growing-institutional-interest-nvidia-driven-tech-rally-experienced-trader-peter-brandt-says-i-am-long-btc"> briefly crossed</a> $112,000 in the afternoon before pulling back to the early $111,000s later in the day.
Entrepreneur and cryptocurrency market commentator Anthony Pompliano deemed Bitcoin as the "new hurdle rate," suggesting that it has crossed the benchmark required to be considered a viable investment.
&#8220;If you can&#8217;t beat it, you have to buy it,&#8221; Pompliano said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Regarding the outlook, widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader CryptoBusy said that once the breakout above the $112,000 resistance is confirmed, $120,000 will be "imminent."

On the other hand, Crypto Analyst, another cryptocurrency-focused X account with a significant following, predicted a price correction to $100,000 in the next few days.
They also warned of a potential 20-50% drop in altcoins due to a rise in Bitcoin dominance, possibly to 71%.
"Be extra careful longing and buying now," the analyst added.

Bitcoin Hits Historic High Above $112,000, Noted Investor Says 'If You Can't Beat It, You Have To Buy It'

As shares of project management tool Asana Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASAN#NYSE">ASAN</a>) continue to languish near their all-time lows, the company&#8217;s founder and CEO, Dustin Moskovitz, is signaling confidence by aggressively acquiring its shares.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASAN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ASAN stock here</a>.
What Happened: According <a href="https://investors.asana.com/node/11136/html">to</a> a Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last week, Moskovitz acquired 450,000 shares in the company across two transactions on July 1 and July 2, worth a total of $6.1 million, as part of a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, adopted on September 2024. 
Moskovitz, best known as one of the co-founders of Facebook, now referred to as Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), before he started Asana, has been buying shares in the project management platform he heads, hand over fist, in recent months, with year-to-date acquisitions at over $14 million.

With his direct and indirect holdings now exceeding 56 million shares, Moskovitz remains Asana's largest shareholder, wielding significant voting power.
Why It Matters: This comes as Asana shares remain down by 26.5% year-to-date, and 89.78% from its all-time high in 2021, helping shore up confidence in the stock.
During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45758525/asana-stock-climbs-on-mixed-q1-earnings-earnings-beat-revenues-miss">first quarter earnings</a> results a month ago, Asana reported $187 million in revenue, ahead of consensus estimates at $185 million. Earnings came in at $0.05 per share, well ahead of analyst estimates at $0.02 per share, as the company witnessed strong growth in customers spending $100,000 or more annually. 
Senior analyst, Patrick Walravens, at JMP Securities, currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45775121/asana-posts-first-ever-positive-operating-margin-signs-largest-heal-in-history">holds the high-end</a> of the Street&#8217;s price target for the stock at $22 per share, representing a 50% upside from current levels.
