July 6 - According to Iranian sources, the funeral service for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was held in Tehran, the Iranian capital, on the 6th, with millions of mourners in attendance.

The bank anticipates a trillion-dollar market opportunity by 2040, with unit economics expected to reach near break-even by 2028 and enter large-scale operation by 2030. Morgan Stanley added that the global driverless taxi industry is at a critical juncture, transitioning from limited pilot programs to early commercialization. Advances in artificial intelligence, declining hardware costs, and a clearer regulatory environment are collectively accelerating actual deployment, with some operators already providing 24/7 fully driverless services in select cities. The bank noted that investors core focus has shifted from technological feasibility to identifying the players capable of achieving the most efficient and profitable scaling.On July 6th, industry research firm SemiAnalysis reported that Nvidias (NVDA.O) next-generation flagship product—the Kyber rack-mount architecture designed for the 2027 Rubin Ultra chip—has been delayed by more than 12 months to 2028 due to manufacturing difficulties with a key circuit board. This is the latest in a series of recent product setbacks, further deepening market concerns about Nvidias product roadmap. SemiAnalysis report indicates that the delay stems from manufacturing challenges with the systems core—the PCB midplane. SemiAnalysis stated that Nvidia currently "lacks a mature solution to scale up Rubin Ultra," potentially opening a rare technological window for competitors like AMD (AMD.O) and Google (GOOG.O), whose self-developed chips are already being used in top AI labs.Citigroup raised its target price for TSMC from NT$2,875.00 to NT$3,800.00.

Following a corrective move, the EUR/USD pair has rebounded from 1.0960, but investors await the publication of the preliminary Eurozone/United States S&P PMI data for April. The major currency pair has remained between 1.0911 and 1.1000 for the past two trading sessions, as the foreign exchange market prepares for a pre-anxiety move ahead of a Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.

 

S&P500 closed with a negative tone for the third day in a row as quarterly earnings season induced extreme volatility. Tesla's poor earnings had a negative impact on Thursday's market sentiment. Moreover, market participants were cautioned by substandard revenue projections due to the potential for price reductions. The decision of the Fed to increase interest rates is reflected in quarterly earnings. Data from Refinitiv indicates that analysts have largely maintained last week's forecast of a near 5% YoY decline in quarterly profits for the 500 largest U.S. equities. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been defending the key support level of 101.60 in recent trading sessions. The USD Index maintained the aforementioned support despite the release of disappointing Jobless claims data on Thursday. Initial Jobless Claims increased to 245K for the week ending April 4, which is greater than the previous release of 240K and estimates of 240K. Increasing unemployment claims heightened fears of a deteriorating labor market.

 

Despite this, Fed policymakers continue to anticipate further rate hikes from the central bank. Thursday, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reaffirmed that the Fed has more work to do because US inflation remains too high, according to Reuters. He added, "The Federal Reserve will need to raise its policy rate above 5% and hold it there for some time."

 

Preliminary Consumer Confidence (April) for the Eurozone increased to -17.5 from -18.5 and the previous reading of -19.2. This may be the consequence of extraordinary efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce inflationary pressures.
