On June 6th, company filings revealed that Google (GOOG.O) has agreed to pay SpaceX $920 million per month for computing power as part of a cloud services agreement that will last until mid-2029. SpaceX stated in a filing on Friday that Google will pay SpaceX monthly fees from October to June 2029, providing computing power including approximately 110,000 Nvidia GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other related components. The computing power will be gradually increased before September, with the fee decreasing accordingly. The filing shows that if SpaceX fails to deliver the agreed number of GPUs by September 30, 2026, Google has the right to terminate the contract and will have a one-month grace period. Furthermore, according to the agreement disclosed on Friday, either party has the right to terminate the agreement with 90 days notice.U.S. bank deposits rose to $19.333 trillion from $19.285 trillion last week.Standard & Poors affirmed Swedens credit rating at "AAA/A-1+" with a stable outlook.June 6th - According to the Financial Times, Meta Platforms (META.O) is considering raising tens of billions of dollars through a stock offering to seek new sources of capital to support Mark Zuckerbergs ambitious plans in artificial intelligence, following Googles record $85 billion stock deal this week. According to three sources familiar with the matter, executives at the social media company have been exploring "innovative" fundraising methods as the company plans to significantly increase its AI-related capital spending to as much as $145 billion this year, with further increases planned for 2027. The discussions have intensified following Alphabets successful funding round this week—which was driven by strong investor demand and increased by $5 billion from the original plan—sources said.

Biden Reversing Trump's Decision to Expand Oil Drilling in The Arctic

On Monday, the Biden administration rescinded a Trump administration proposal that would have permitted the government to lease more than two-thirds of the country's greatest tract of public property to oil and gas drilling.


The decision by the Bureau of Land Management reduces the amount of land available for lease in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve, a nearly 23 million-acre zone home to species such as caribou and polar bears.


The decision reverts to an Obama-era plan that authorizes fossil fuel exploitation in up to 52% of the reserve, vs the Trump administration's desire to open up 82 percent of the land to drilling. Additionally, it will reinstall some environmental safeguards for designated portions of the reserve, including Teshekpuk Lake, a wildlife-rich wetland complex.


The action comes after the Bureau of Land Management awarded the fewest oil and gas permits for drilling on public lands under the Biden administration earlier this year.
