San Francisco-based, Scale AI plays a pivotal role in the artificial intelligence supply chain by powering data pipelines used to train large language models like ChatGPT and Meta's Llama. According to<a href="https://www.investors.com/news/technology/meta-stock-scale-ai-generative-ai-2025-zuckerberg/"> Investor&#8217;s Business Daily</a>, Meta's potential investment builds on its prior participation in Scale's $1 billion Series F round in 2024, which valued the firm at $18 billion.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic Play To Secure AI's Most Valuable Resource</h2>
While chips and talent dominate most AI headlines, data remains the less-publicized pillar essential to building models that mimic human reasoning, Bloomberg says. Scale AI provides structured and labeled data by deploying a global network of contractors, including experts with PhDs and graduate degrees in medicine, law, and molecular biology.
The firm's high-level contributors create test scenarios and reinforce learning strategies for AI systems, ensuring that models produce accurate and context-aware responses, especially in industries such as healthcare and tax law. According to Bloomberg, as of this year, 12% of Scale's contributors involved in improving AI models held PhDs in fields such as molecular biology, while more than 40% had a master's degree, law degree, or MBA in their area of expertise.

Scale AI expects to generate $2 billion in revenue this year, more than doubling the $870 million earned last year, Bloomberg reports. This surge reflects the broader industry's increasing need for tailored datasets as synthetic training data begins to reach its performance limits.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta Aligns Infrastructure With Policy Power</h2>
Meta's relationship with Scale also serves the purpose of regulatory alignment. Scale CEO Alexandr Wang has become a regular presence in Washington, advising lawmakers on AI regulation and calling for a ‘national AI data reserve.' Bloomberg reports that lawmakers on Capitol Hill have welcomed his insights, viewing Scale as a bridge between Silicon Valley innovation and federal oversight.
Investor&#8217;s Business Daily says that Scale has also expanded its role in defense AI by contributing to projects such as Meta's Defense Llama model, designed for U.S. national security applications. This aligns Meta more closely with the U.S. government, following similar partnerships between Microsoft and OpenAI.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Risks, Scrutiny, And The Road Ahead</h2>
Despite its success, Scale has faced criticism for labor practices involving overseas contractors in countries like Kenya and the Philippines, where some workers were paid relatively little and reported psychological distress from reviewing harmful online content, Bloomberg reports. According to <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/09/the-department-of-labor-just-dropped-its-investigation-into-scale-ai/">TechCrunch</a>, the U.S. Department of Labor has since closed its investigation into the company's compliance with wage regulations, but ongoing scrutiny remains a reputational concern.
According to Bloomberg, insiders say discussions between Meta and Scale are ongoing and could still shift. Regardless of a final number, Meta's expected commitment may redefine the race for control of the AI data layer, strengthening Scale AI's position at the heart of artificial intelligence's next chapter.

Meta In Talks To Invest Over $10B In Scale AI — Possibly The Biggest Private AI Deal This Year

Some people accumulate wealth over many decades to end up with $1 million, while others get it quicker due to specific circumstances.&nbsp;
A 29-year-old Redditor found himself in this position after winning a lawsuit he filed due to a motorcycle accident. He's set to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1l83vxz/i_think_i_just_became_a_milionaire/">receive $1.3 million</a>, which is a big jump since he had previously saved no more than $15,000.

Receiving more money doesn't guarantee long-term wealth. Many lottery winners go broke, but that may not be the case for the Redditor, granted he didn't win the lottery. That's because he reached out to the Dave Ramsey subreddit for advice.
"What am I supposed to do with this money?" he asked.
These were some of the suggestions Redditors offered.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Put The Money In A High-Yield Savings Account</h2>
You don't have to make aggressive investments with the fortune to make enough cash. One Redditor suggested a high-yield savings account. It's possible to find accounts that offer 4% APY, and that translates into $52,000 per year.&nbsp;
It's good supplemental income that may be enough to cover most of the Redditor's expenses. He was a firefighter before the accident and earned $80,000 to $85,000 per year. He has been receiving disability pay that equals 80% of his salary, and he's set to work again by the end of the summer.

His salary as a firefighter seems to be enough since he only has one debt. He just has a $60,000 home loan from the bank and paid for his vehicles with cash.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don't Make Dramatic Changes To Your Lifestyle</h2>
One commenter told the 29-year-old to make any dramatic changes to his lifestyle, and there are a few reasons why this is great advice. While $1.3 million is a great starting point, it's not enough to quit your job and retire.&nbsp;
Furthermore, making significant changes to your lifestyle and letting people know about your wealth can attract the wrong type of attention. You might attract ‘friends' who want you to spend money on them and then disappear the moment your funds run dry.&nbsp;
Life can be easier if the firefighter maintains his lifestyle and continues to work every day. The commenter suggested the 29-year-old can be in a mode that's between easy and standard difficulty instead of "constantly grinding just to pay the rent."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Put Money In A Brokerage Account After Establishing An Emergency Fund</h2>
One commenter suggested establishing an emergency fund that can cover six to 12 months of living expenses and putting the rest into a brokerage account. The firefighter doesn't have to get fancy with his investments. Some low-cost ETFs that mirror key benchmarks like the S&amp;P 500 or Nasdaq Composite should be sufficient.
The commenter then said that the 29-year-old should forget that the account exists and let it grow undisturbed. Regarding the emergency fund, the commenter suggested looking for a high-yield savings account, just like an earlier commenter.&nbsp;
This approach gives the 29-year-old enough money to cover emergency expenses while knowing that most of the $1.3 million is growing over time.

A 29-Year-Old Suddenly Became A Millionaire And Turned To The Dave Ramsey Subreddit For Advice: 'What Am I Supposed To Do With This Money'

Dundee Precious Metals (OTCPK: DPMLF) has signed a deal to acquire UK-based Adriatic Metals (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADMLF#OTC">ADMLF</a>) for $1.25 billion. The agreement will give Canadian miner control of Adriatic's flagship Vareš <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/silver">silver-zinc operation</a> in Bosnia, expanding its strategic footprint in southeastern Europe. It is Dundee's most significant move yet to boost production growth and diversify cash flow.
"Vareš is a logical fit with our portfolio, as it significantly increases DPM's mine life while adding near-term production growth, a highly prospective land package, and cash flow diversification," Dundee CEO David Rae <a href="https://dundeeprecious.com/news-media/news-releases/dundee-precious-metals-announces-proposed-acquisit-10180/">said</a> in a statement. "We are well-positioned to leverage our expertise in underground mining, our regional presence, and our financial strength to optimize the operation and unlock its full value potential."
Under the mixed cash and stock terms of agreement, Adriatic shareholders will receive 268 British pence per share, comprising 93 pence in cash and 0.1590 of a Dundee share, representing a 50.5% premium to Adriatic's closing price of 177.8 pence on May 19. The acquisition will be implemented through a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under UK law.
Upon completion, Dundee shareholders will hold approximately 75.3% of the enlarged entity, while Adriatic shareholders will own the remaining 24.7%. Dundee has already secured support for the deal from Adriatic's board and major shareholders representing 37.2% of the UK firm's share capital.
The key asset in the acquisition is located about 50 kilometers north of Sarajevo. It is a high-grade underground mine producing silver-zinc and lead-silver-gold concentrates. It has a 15-year mine life based on current reserves and is expected to produce approximately 168,000 ounces of gold equivalent annually, with a life-of-mine all-in sustaining cost of $893 per ounce.
Dundee forecasts the project will generate $2.1 billion in post-tax cash flow over its life, with a post-tax net present value of $1.6 billion at a 5% discount rate, based on long-term metal prices.
"Vareš remains firmly on track to become a low-cost precious metals producer, underpinned by a high-grade deposit and strong exploration upside," Adriatic CEO Laura Tyler said. "This transaction brings together complementary strengths to create a diversified mining company with meaningful scale."
Adriatic's portfolio also includes the Raška zinc-silver project in Serbia, providing Dundee with exploration and development potential in the region. The merged company will be headquartered in Toronto, and Adriatic's UK office will close. Tyler and CFO Michael Horner will exit following the transaction, and Adriatic's board will step down.
BMO Capital Markets advised Dundee, while RBC Capital Markets and Macquarie Capital advised Adriatic. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2025, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, including from the Bosnian Competition Council.

The company recently announced it will ring the Opening Bell at the Nasdaq on Tuesday, June 17, which could keep the stock in the spotlight next week.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Arc, a California-based startup founded in 2021 by former <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45831511/boeing-737-max-deliveries-to-china-restart-after-month-long-pause-amid-trade-tensions-with-us-over-trumps-tariffs">Boeing</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) engineers Mitch Lee and Ryan Cook,<a href="https://arcboats.com/blog/introducing-the-arc-coast-center-console"> announced</a> on May 15 its third <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/12/30170910/general-dynamics-electric-boat-awarded-5-1b-by-us-navy-for-columbia-class-submarines">all-electric boat</a> model, the Arc Coast, priced at $168,000.
The new 24-foot vessel follows the sold-out Arc One and the still-available Arc Sport, originally priced at $300,000 and $268,000, respectively, and offers a more affordable entry point for recreational boaters. According to <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/05/15/arc-boats-announces-new-cheaper-arc-coast-center-console-electric-boat/">Electrek</a>, this new model is aimed at broader recreational markets, offering simplified design and reduced material costs while still delivering the power and performance of its predecessors.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arc Coast Has a 226kWh Battery, 50 MPH Top Speed, and Open Deck for 10 Passengers</h2>
Arc Coast features a high-voltage 226 kWh battery, the same system used in the Arc Sport, which, according to Electrek, gives the boat a top speed of 50 miles per hour and a cruising time of four to five hours on a single charge. Instead of the large outboard engines common in traditional boats, Arc says it uses a compact sterndrive system.
The open deck accommodates up to 10 passengers, creating more room for fishing, relaxing, or swimming without the bulk and noise associated with combustion engines, Electrek reports.
Arc said in a<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/arc-unveils-the-arc-coast-an-all-electric-evolution-of-the-center-console-302455358.html"> statement</a> that the center console format has long been used for fishing and sandbar outings, offering flexible movement and social space. The Arc Coast was designed from scratch to deliver quiet electric performance, streamlined software, and a simplified ownership experience compared to traditional gas-powered boats. The design also enables Arc to simplify the layout and reduce material costs.

&#8220;People love center consoles, but the experience hasn&#8217;t improved,&#8221; Lee said in the statement. &#8220;The Arc Coast is what you get when you start from scratch: all the benefits of quiet and powerful electric performance, powered by advanced software, and paired with an ownership experience free from many of the headaches common with today&#8217;s gas boats.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arc Targets Cleaner Seas With Rapid Production Timeline</h2>
According to the<a href="https://www.epa.gov/dera/learn-about-impacts-diesel-exhaust-and-diesel-emissions-reduction-act-dera"> Environmental Protection Agency</a>, diesel-powered boats contribute significantly to marine pollution through oil leaks, ground-level ozone, and toxic emissions that impact coastal ecosystems. Electric boats offer a cleaner alternative because they are quieter, require less maintenance, and can be charged with energy from renewable sources, Arc says.
Even when factoring in the environmental cost of lithium-ion battery production, a 2016<a href="https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/79097/1/Park_etal_AE_2022_Live_life_cycle_assessment_of_the_electric.pdf"> report</a> suggests that electric marine transport remains more sustainable than extracting and burning billions of tons of fossil fuels each year.
Arc says it reused its existing battery system to reduce development time and expects to bring the Arc Coast to market in less than one year from prototype to production.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Opportunity In Premium Recreational Boating</h2>
While the $168,000 price tag still places the Arc Coast in the premium category, the cost is significantly lower than previous Arc models. The new model fits into a broader trend of electrification in transportation, where marine sectors are now undergoing rapid shifts toward battery-powered mobility, according to a 2025 report from<a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/electric-boat-market-report"> Grand View Research</a>.
Interested buyers can reserve the Arc Coast directly through the company's <a href="https://arcboats.com/">website</a>, with deliveries expected to begin in 2026.

Boeing Engineers Turn Startup Arc Into Marine Powerhouse With New $168K Electric Boat That Outpaces Gas Competitors

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East — especially the Israel‑Iran conflict — and unexpectedly soft U.S. inflation data produced choppy market action this week. The S&amp;P 500 pulled back from all‑time highs as oil jumped above $70, marking its largest weekly gain in years.
Energy stocks led sector gains amid rising oil, while gold and silver rallied on demand for havens. Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) stood out, climbing 20% after strong earnings. The U.S. dollar dipped to a three-year low against major currencies.
Looking ahead, investors are watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting and U.S.–China trade discussions. Any change in rate guidance or geopolitical escalation could significantly sway market sentiment in the near term.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Everyone wants to be rich,&nbsp; but getting clear on your motivation can give you the extra motivation to boost your income and build wealth. That's why financial TikToker Tori Dunlap encouraged her audience to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@herfirst100k/video/7514814151542197534?lang=en">get clear on why they want money</a>.
"I want to be rich because of the options money affords me," she explained.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Money Leads To Greater Lifestyle Flexibility</h2>
Dunlap focuses on growing her wealth due to the additional flexibility money provides. You can go on vacations, have less stress about making monthly mortgage payments, and access a greater range of experiences.

</ul>
She pointed out that you can escape from an unsafe situation if you become rich. This can include a hazardous workplace or a toxic work culture. It can also include not being financially dependent on an unfaithful spouse.&nbsp;
Many people use money as a roadblock when saying they can't do certain things. Instead of viewing the lack of money as a roadblock, think about how your life would change if you put in the work to improve your financial situation. Having a growth-oriented mindset can help you earn enough income where things that previously felt out of reach become quite possible.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Think About Who You Want To Support</h2>
Dunlap's TikTok video went into some of the options you have if you make more money, but the video didn't only focus on what you can do for yourself with the extra money. She also encouraged people to think about causes they believe in and pay their parents for all of their sacrifices.
Some people don't want to spend money on themselves besides the necessities. However, if you think about a person or an organization you want to support, it may give you the extra inspiration to start a side hustle, ask for a raise, or switch to a higher-paying job.
If you're single, you may also want to think about saving up and building your career for the day that you may become a parent. Even if you don't intend on marrying or having kids, it's good to have this motivation in mind just in case you change your mind. That way, if you want to become a parent, you have put yourself in a better financial position to make it happen.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Pursuit Of Wealth Is Not Greedy</h2>
Dunlap wraps up her TikTok by saying that pursuing wealth is not an act of greed. She explained that pursuing more money is simply a way to give yourself more options.&nbsp;
Viewing money and greed as two sides of the same coin is a dangerous mindset, as it can be a mental hurdle that limits your ability to grow your income. If you despise something or view it as the cause of many bad things in the world, you won't be inspired to work hard to attract more money into your life.&nbsp;
Dunlap isn't building her wealth just for the sake of having a second comma or determining how much she can earn in her lifetime. Instead, she views money as a tool that gives you more choices. Framing money in this way can lead to a healthier mentality that makes it easier to grow your earnings.

Tori Dunlap Encourages People To Think About Their Motivation For Becoming Rich: 'I Want To Be Rich Because Of The Options Money Affords Me'

Anthropic co-founder Ben Mann says true "transformative AI" will arrive only after systems ace what he calls the "economic Turing test."
What Happened: Mann, in a recent appearance on the &#8216;No Priors&#8217; podcast, defined the &#8220;economic Turing test&#8221; as a workplace trial that forces hiring managers to choose between a month-long contractor and an AI agent for the same job.
Passing the test would mark "when things start to get really interesting from a societal and cultural standpoint," Mann noted.
Mann's yardstick swaps laboratory benchmarks for a market basket covering "50% of economically valuable tasks." Each human supervisor would "hire an agent" to perform the work. If, at the end of the month, the manager prefers the machine, "then it passed," he said.

Mann does warn that the exercise has its limitations. "Interviews are only a poor approximation of real-world job performance," he observed, dismissing current testing measures as limited and too theoretical.

Anthropic has already run its Claude models through internal interviews and found them "extremely good," though Mann conceded that the formal trial "hasn't started" and might not come until after the firm's next release cycle. He pegged 2028 as a "quite possible" window for artificial general intelligence but cautioned that precise timelines remain guesswork.
Why It Matters: Mann&#8217;s coinage of the phrase &#8220;economic Turing test&#8221; builds on the Turing Test, which is a simple method of inquiry in artificial intelligence for determining whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human being.
OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT 4 became the first AI LLM to pass a two-player Turing test, fooling human conversation partners 54% of the time back in July 2024. GPT-4.5 achieved a 73% success rate in a more formal test in March earlier this year. However, critics have posed several reasons over the years challenging the accuracy of the test in determining the true intelligence of machines.
A new Wharton study also found that large language models now create <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44369538/ai-just-passed-the-meme-turing-test-study-finds-llms-now-create-funnier-memes-than-most-humans">memes humans rate as funnier</a> than the average person's, effectively passing the "meme Turing Test."

Anthropic Co-founder Says AGI 'Possible' By 2028 But 'Transformative AI' Will Have To Pass The 'Economic Turing Test'

Mark Cuban, the billionaire entrepreneur, shared insights into his early business journey, revealing that he did not take a vacation for seven years while building his first company.
What Happened: The revelation came during an episode of &#8220;The Playbook,&#8221; a video series by Sports Illustrated and Entrepreneur, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/13/mark-cuban-i-didnt-take-a-vacation-while-building-my-first-business.html">via</a> CNBC, published on June 3.
Cuban, who founded the software company MicroSolutions at 24, was living with six roommates after losing his job. He described his financial struggles as a motivating factor, stating, &#8220;I was broke as f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;.&#8221;
"I didn't take a vacation for the next 7 years," Cuban added.
His relentless focus on his business, he believes, was crucial to his success, which includes a long tenure on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; and ownership of the NBA&#8217;s Dallas Mavericks.
He emphasized that achieving success required sacrificing work-life balance, saying, &#8220;There is no balance. If you want to crush the game, whatever game you're in, there's somebody working 24 hours a day to kick your ass.&#8221;
Cuban&#8217;s work ethic led to the sale of MicroSolutions for $6 million and later Broadcast.com for $6 billion. His net worth is now estimated at $5.7 billion, according to Forbes.

Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s journey from financial struggles to becoming a billionaire underscores the importance of perseverance in entrepreneurship. Cuban&#8217;s insights are particularly relevant in today&#8217;s rapidly evolving business landscape, where technology and innovation are reshaping industries.
In a recent discussion, Cuban highlighted the potential impact of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45889687/mark-cuban-predicts-ai-video-will-trigger-an-explosion-in-face-to-face-engagement-events-and-jobs-calls-it-the-milli-vanilli-effect">AI-generated video</a> on face-to-face interactions, predicting a surge in in-person engagements as digital content becomes more easily manipulated.
This perspective aligns with his belief in the value of authenticity and direct communication, principles that have guided his career.

President Donald Trump has unveiled a plan to make every newborn in the United States a stock investor. This initiative is part of his &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; a comprehensive tax and spending package that has passed the House and is now under Senate review.
What Happened: The proposal, if enacted, would create a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45537041/trumps-tax-bill-expands-child-benefits-with-2500-credit-and-1000-savings-boost-for-babies-born-through-2028"> tax-deferred investment account for each child</a> born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. The government would seed each account with $1,000, and guardians could contribute up to $5,000 annually.
The investments would be limited to broad U.S. index funds with low fees and no leverage.
Withdrawals from these accounts would be restricted until the child reaches 18, and accounts would close when the holder turns 31. The White House emphasized the potential for compounded growth, citing endorsements from leaders of companies like Dell Technologies Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group.

Renowned investor Warren Buffett, known for advocating early and long-term investing, has not directly commented on the plan. However, experts suggest the proposal aligns with his investment philosophy.
During a Berkshire meeting in 1999, Buffett, while replying to a shareholder who asked how to become a multi-billionaire, said ‘start young,' as<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-baby-accounts-warren-buffett-investing-stocks-compounding-wealth-inequality-2025-6"> per</a> a Business Insider report.
&#8220;The nature of compound interest is it behaves like a snowball of sticky snow. And the trick is to have a very long hill, which means either starting very young or living to be very old,&#8221; said Buffett.
The program aims to address wealth inequality by encouraging savings and financial literacy, though challenges for lower-income families remain.
Why It Matters: The proposal has sparked debate among economists and financial experts. Economist<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45854379/economist-peter-schiff-criticizes-trumps-1000-baby-account-proposal-calls-it-unconstitutional-and-a-bad-idea-that-will-only-saddle-them-with-more-debt"> Peter Schiff criticized the initiative</a>, labelling it &#8220;unconstitutional&#8221; and a &#8220;bad idea,&#8221; arguing that it could increase national debt burdens on future generations. Schiff suggests reducing deficit spending now to avoid future financial burdens.

Trump's $1,000 Baby Account Aligns With Billionaire Investor Warren Buffett's 'Start Young' Philosophy

President Donald Trump has given the green light to Nippon Steel&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>) $14.9 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>). This concludes an 18-month journey marked by union resistance and dual national security assessments.
What Happened: Trump signed an executive order on Friday, permitting the merger to proceed, contingent upon the companies reaching an agreement with the Treasury Department to address national security concerns, according to a Reuters report on Saturday.
The companies confirmed they have signed the necessary agreement, fulfilling Trump&#8217;s conditions and effectively securing the merger&#8217;s approval.
The agreement includes a commitment to invest $11 billion by 2028, along with governance, production, and trade commitments. Nippon Steel will acquire a 100% stake in U.S. Steel, as stated by a spokesperson from the Japanese company.
However, details regarding the &#8220;golden share&#8221; promised to the U.S. government remain unclear. This share is intended to provide the government with veto power over significant decisions concerning U.S. Steel, according to U.S. Senator David McCormick (R-Pa.).

The report also noted that Nippon Steel plans an additional $3 billion investment for a new mill post-2028. This acquisition positions Nippon Steel to benefit from U.S. infrastructure projects while avoiding hefty breakup fees and tariffs faced by foreign competitors.
Why It Matters: The approval of this acquisition marks a significant shift in the U.S. steel industry landscape. Initially, President<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45596866/president-trump-approves-us-steel-nippon-steel-partnership"> Trump had blocked Nippon Steel&#8217;s acquisition</a> attempt due to security concerns, leading to a partnership instead.
This partnership was projected to create 70,000 jobs and inject $14 billion into the U.S. economy.
In a strategic move to secure the deal, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45510183/nippon-steel-pledges-14-billion-including-new-us-mill-to-win-trumps-approval-for-us-steel-deal-report">Nippon Steel pledged</a> to invest $14 billion, including up to $4 billion for a new steel mill. This was part of a broader strategy to win the Trump administration&#8217;s approval.
Moreover, the U.S. government will maintain strategic control over U.S. Steel through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45638403/us-government-to-hold-strategic-control-over-us-steel-in-149-billion-nippon-deal-david-mccormick-says">golden share arrangement</a>, granting it veto power over key operational decisions. This ensures that the U.S. retains influence over the steelmaker&#8217;s future.
Additionally, Trump doubled U.S.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708977/trump-doubles-steel-tariffs-to-50-saying-it-will-secure-american-jobs-backs-us-steels-takeover-by-japans-nippon"> tariffs on imported steel to 50%</a> in a bid to protect domestic jobs, while endorsing the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel. This tariff hike is seen as a measure to revitalize the American steel industry.

Trump Approves Nippon Steel's $14.9 Billion Bid For US Steel

U.S. Marines have detained a civilian in Los Angeles, marking the first known instance of active-duty military involvement in such actions within the city. This comes amid heightened tensions over immigration enforcement and ongoing protests.
What Happened: According to a Reuters report, U.S. Marines temporarily detained a civilian in Los Angeles on Friday. This marks the first known instance of active-duty troops, deployed by President Donald Trump, detaining a civilian in the city.
The incident occurred at the Wilshire Federal Building, where Marines were tasked with safeguarding the premises amidst ongoing protests over immigration raids.
Images captured by Reuters depicted Marines restraining the individual, identified as Marcos Leao, with zip ties before transferring him to the Department of Homeland Security.
Leao, an Army veteran and U.S. citizen, stated he was treated fairly after inadvertently crossing a restricted area while heading to a Department of Veterans Affairs office.

The U.S. military&#8217;s Northern Command spokesperson clarified that active-duty forces can temporarily detain individuals under specific conditions, ensuring the transfer to civilian law enforcement is immediate.
Currently, 200 Marines and over 2,000 National Guard members are stationed in Los Angeles to protect federal assets and personnel. An additional 500 Marines and 2,000 National Guard troops are expected to join, accompanying ICE agents on raids.
While troops can detain threats temporarily, they are not authorized to make arrests, adhering to the Posse Comitatus Act. However, invoking the Insurrection Act could expand military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
Why It Matters: The deployment of Marines to Los Angeles streets, authorized by President Donald Trump, has escalated federal-state tensions, particularly as California has challenged this military involvement in immigration enforcement.
California Governor Gavin<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45900294/trump-deploys-marines-to-la-with-authority-to-detain-civilians-california-challenges-military-involvement-in-immigration-enforcement"> Newsom has opposed the deployment</a>, marking the first federal activation of the National Guard without gubernatorial consent since 1965.
A federal appeals court recently allowed Trump to maintain control over California&#8217;s National Guard, temporarily blocking a lower court ruling that would have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45919950/appeals-court-allows-trump-to-keep-national-guard-in-california-for-now"> returned control to Governor Newsom</a>.
The ongoing protests have also led to curfews and mass arrests in Los Angeles, with 197 arrests reported in a single day, highlighting the intensity of the situation.

US Marines Detain Civilian In Los Angeles Amid Immigration Protests, First Known Incident of Its Kind: Report

President Donald Trump disclosed his knowledge of Israel&#8217;s planned attacks on Iran and said that he tried to delay them in hopes of securing a deal.
What Happened: Trump revealed in a phone interview with Reuters on Friday that he was aware of Israel&#8217;s impending attacks on Iran, despite his efforts to prevent them.
The president expressed hope for a nuclear agreement with Iran, stating, &#8220;They can still work out a deal, however, it's not too late.&#8221;
Trump had urged Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, to delay military action to allow for diplomatic negotiations. However, he praised the strikes as &#8220;excellent&#8221; and &#8220;very successful&#8221; in several media interviews.
The U.S. president voiced support for Israel&#8217;s military actions, indicating a readiness to use force to hinder Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions. Despite some allies advocating for restraint, Trump emphasized the strong U.S.-Israel alliance, stating, &#8220;We've been very close to Israel. We're their number one ally by far.&#8221;

Later, two U.S. officials confirmed that the American military assisted in intercepting Iranian missiles targeting Israel, underscoring the U.S.&#8217;s commitment to its ally.
Why It Matters: Trump's statement comes after Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State and National Security Adviser, emphasized that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45919250/trump-administration-distances-us-from-israels-strikes-on-iran-we-are-not-involved-says-marco-rubio">Israel acted independently</a>. He stated, "We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region." Rubio also warned Iran against targeting U.S. interests or personnel.
While Trump supports Israel&#8217;s actions, his administration has sought to separate itself from these strikes.
Following the strikes, Trump issued a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45922022/trump-issues-stark-warning-to-iran-to-make-a-deal-after-israels-strikes-on-nuclear-sites-just-do-it-before-its-too-late">stern warning to Iran</a>, urging the nation to negotiate a deal or face severe consequences. This warning underscores the heightened tensions and the potential for further escalation.
The escalating conflict between Iran and Israel is also impacting global markets. Rising tensions and Trump&#8217;s threats have led to increased uncertainty, causing a shift from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45922513/global-markets-slide-as-iran-israel-conflict-heats-up-oil-soars">equities to safe-haven assets like gold</a>. Additionally, crude oil prices are soaring as the conflict threatens OPEC&#8217;s crude supply.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Loads Up On Archer Aviation, Nextdoor Holdings

With U.S.–China trade tensions and Middle East unrest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">rocking global markets</a>, Latin America's stock exchanges &#8211; especially Brazil's Bovespa and Mexico's IPC &#8211; are hitting record highs as investors seek lower‑correlation havens. Brazil and Mexico's markets are shining as havens from Trump's tariff threats and Middle East chaos.
Here are three NYSE‑listed Latin American stocks offering compelling diversification, stable income, and macro resilience.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Vale SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VALE#NYSE">VALE</a>)</h2>
Forward P/E Ratio: 5.66x
Dividend Yield (FWD): 14.44%
Why It's Hot: Brazil's mining titan is a commodity kingpin, fueled by iron ore and nickel demand for EVs and global infrastructure. With a dirt-cheap P/E of 5.66x &#8211; half the materials sector's 11x &#8211; Vale's a screaming value play. Its 14.44% dividend yield, backed by $7.8 billion in 2024 free cash flow, is a cash cow for income seekers. Analysts rate it Overweight, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VALE/analyst-ratings">$14.08 consensus price target </a>(almost 50% upside from current levels).
Why Now: Vale's global client base makes it resilient during U.S.-China trade spats, and its high yield cushions against Middle East-driven volatility.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Ambev SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABEV#NYSE">ABEV</a>)</h2>
Forward P/E Ratio: 13.53x
Dividend Yield (FWD): 6.23%
Why It's Hot: Latin America's beer giant, Ambev, is a defensive powerhouse, brewing steady profits regardless of global chaos. Its 6.23% dividend yield and 13.53x P/E &#8211; below the consumer staples sector's 17x &#8211; offer value and income. Fourth quarter revenue hit $4.2 billion (+8.3% YoY), with 20.1% operating margins reflecting efficiency. Moreover, there&#8217;s looming revenue growth potential for 2025, driven by Brazil's growing middle class and premium brands like Brahma.
Why Now: Ambev's stable cash flows thrive in risk-off markets, making it a safer bet as trade talks falter and Iran tensions spike.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Cemex SAB de CV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CX#NYSE">CX</a>)</h3>
Forward P/E Ratio: 10.56x
Dividend Yield (FWD): 1.21%
Why It's Hot: Mexico's cement leader, Cemex, is riding a wave of infrastructure demand in Mexico and the U.S., boosted by General Motors Co&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) $4 billion U.S. plant investment. Its 10.56x P/E is a bargain compared to the construction sector's 15x. After slashing debt by 20% in 2024, Cemex generated $1.1 billion in free cash flow, supporting a reinstated 1.18% TTM dividend yiekd. Trading at $6.70 on Friday with a $7.42 target (10.75% upside), Cemex is a growth-value hybrid.
Why Now: Cemex's U.S.-Mexico exposure dodges China tariffs, and its cash flow stability counters Middle East market jitters.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why These Stocks Shine In 2025</h2>
Income and Value: Vale's 14.44% yield, Ambev's 6.23%, and Cemex's low P/E offer income and upside amid volatility.
Diversified Resilience: Vale's commodities, Ambev's staples, and Cemex's infrastructure span cyclical and defensive sectors, balancing risk.
Trade War Insulation: With minimal exposure to U.S.-China tariffs, these stocks thrive as Bovespa and IPC hit all-time highs.
With U.S.-China talks teetering and Iran-Israel tensions flaring, these Latin American stocks could just be offering diversification and value.
