Tel Aviv, Israel — Specks of orange light spread across the night sky as air raid sirens blare in the background. It’s a disturbing picture that has become a hallmark of the war, as Iran increasingly equips some of its ballistic missiles with cluster munitions aimed at penetrating Israel’s sophisticated air defenses. The specks of light are small bombs, each carrying up to 11 pounds of explosives, that are released from the missile’s head at high altitude and then rain down indiscriminately over a wide area. Experts say most of Iran’s ballistic missiles carry around 24 submunitions, but one of…

Amid the Iran war, inflationary pressures, a weak job market and an uncertain outlook for tariff policy, the Federal Reserve is scheduled to meet next week to announce its decision on interest rates. The federal funds rate, set by the Federal Open Market Committee, is the rate at which banks lend to each other overnight, but it also has a trickle-down effect on borrowing and savings rates for many consumers.For now, experts believe central bank policy will remain unchanged. Pricing in the futures market suggests there is little chance of a rate cut, according to CME Group’s FedWatch indicators. “Fed…
On the day before Christmas, when stocks were barely moving, an expensive and pivotal trade sent shockwaves through the AI computing race. NVIDIA was spending a reported $20 billion to license technology from chip startup Groq and hire key employees, including a CEO who had previously helped Google develop a major alternative to NVIDIA’s AI processors.

Perhaps it got lost in the Christmastime shuffle or in the flurry of other deals and investments that have flowed…
