Apple Reaches $5 Trillion Market Cap, Second Ever

Apple briefly surpassed a $5 trillion market cap, becoming only the second publicly traded company to reach the milestone, with its stock up about 24% this year and 60% over 12 months on strong iPhone sales, even as investors note Apple’s AI exposure lags behind peers. The company has partnered with Google to power Siri via Gemini AI and plans a major Siri overhaul alongside a foldable iPhone and the iPhone 18 this fall as Tim Cook prepares to hand the reins to John Ternus on Sept. 1.

Downing Street says the government will press ahead with the controversial Defence Investment Plan and publish it before the NATO summit, despite Sir Keir Starmer’s resignation as prime minister and Labour leader. The plan’s publication and the broader defence funding package, which has already prompted ministerial resignations, could be revisited by a future leader, complicating the government’s credibility with allies and shaping the response of a coming prime minister.

Fed Holds Rates as Dissent Flows Amid Powell’s Continued Board Tenure

The Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate at 3.5%‑3.75% with an 8‑4 vote, marking unusually sharp internal disagreement not seen since 1992 as inflation remains elevated and policy messaging shifts. Powell said he will stay on the Board indefinitely amid an ongoing renovations probe, while Kevin Warsh advances toward the chairmanship, potentially changing the Fed’s stance. Dissenters Hammack, Kashkari and Logan objected to an easing bias in the statement. Inflation remains driven in part by energy costs, markets were positioned for no rate change this year, and the labor market remains healthy, underscoring a leadership transition that could influence policy directions.
