These enhancements are designed to provide a reliably simple experience for everyday needs and are an important step in delivering on the company's <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4447778-1&amp;h=1231182111&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fnewsroom.thecignagroup.com%2F2025-commitments-lets-make-it-better&amp;a=commitment">commitment</a>&nbsp;to make health care easier for customers.
&nbsp;

"That's why we're creating smarter, more connected digital experiences that anticipate our customers' needs while bringing clarity and compassion to everyday moments."
The new digital features, which were developed with rigorous research and testing within a comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) governance framework,&nbsp;are being made available in a phased rollout through Cigna Healthcare's myCigna member portal. They include:
<ul>
<li>AI-Powered Virtual Assistant: More than a chatbot, this industry-first generative AI tool provides clear, conversational and personalized answers to common questions about benefits coverage, claims and care options. If additional assistance is needed, the virtual assistant seamlessly connects customers to a customer service advocate. Early results show that 2 out of 3 customers who had access to the virtual assistant used it proactively, and more than 4 out of 5 found it helpful.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Personalized Provider Matching: This proprietary matching tool gives customers a tailored list of in-network providers and care delivery methods based on their specific health care needs and preferences.

<li>Smart Claim Submission:&nbsp;This user-friendly feature enables customers to upload bills they receive from physicians and other providers, such as chiropractors or therapists. The tool reads the bill, auto-fills claim details for easy submission, and provides digital updates using plain language on claim statuses and decisions.</li>
<li>Plan Selection Support:&nbsp;Customers who get their health insurance through their employer can compare prices, search for providers, and estimate their potential health care costs when selecting their benefits plan. This helps customers make more informed plan decisions during the open enrollment period.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Early Access to&nbsp;myCigna for New Customers: Customers new to Cigna Healthcare and those with changes to their benefits plans can sign into the myCigna member portal before their plan effective date so they can better plan their health care needs in advance and add their digital ID card to their Apple or Google wallets or provider portals for less paperwork.</li>

Constellium SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>), a global leader in aluminum solutions and recycling, and TARMAC Aerosave, a pioneer in aircraft &amp; engine storage, maintenance, and eco-responsible dismantling, are proud to jointly announce a major milestone in sustainable aerospace innovation: the successful recycling and remelting of aluminum from end-of-life aircraft into new, high-performance material suitable for future aerospace applications.
This milestone highlights the potential of aluminum to support circular economy goals in aerospace, without compromising material performance. Following months of collaborative research and development, supported in particular by Airbus and ValoER, Constellium has successfully remelted aluminum recovered by TARMAC Aerosave from retired commercial aircraft, producing material that meets the stringent performance requirements for new aircraft manufacturing. The next step will be to scale up this process for industrial application and to extend it to any aluminum alloy used in metallic aircraft, further demonstrating the full recyclability of end-of-life metallic airframes.

U.S. stock futures were trading lower on Thursday after closing lower on Wednesday. Futures of major benchmark indices declined in premarket.
President Donald Trump announced that a new trade agreement with China had been reached, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45882971/wall-street-eyes-record-highs-as-trump-seals-china-deal-soft-inflation-eases-tariff-jitters">pending final signatures</a> from him and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.39% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 99.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Core inflation held steady at 2.8%, also coming in softer than expected.

Insights From Analysts:
Analysts at BlackRock detailed their insights on the stock market during their Midyear Forum.
According to its note, their takeaways were &#8220;look through near-term noise; be deliberate about the kinds of risk you're taking; leverage AI; and watch for biases.&#8221;
BlackRock reiterated focusing on the big picture. For all the ups and downs in markets since the start of the year, they agreed that the drivers of the best-performing companies' equity gains have not changed much.
&#8220;Our portfolio managers discussed several other techniques for spotting opportunities. They are leveraging AI to discern the signal from the noise, as well as tracking patterns and sentiment shifts in their own discussions. They also discussed the importance of being aware of and managing behavioral biases, recognizing that people are less likely to take risk when uncertainty is higher,&#8221; the note added.
Meanwhile, after a better-than-expected May inflation print, Ed Yardeni said that &#8220;Trump&#8217;s tariffs might not be as inflationary as feared. In other words, the widely anticipated stagflation scenario remains a no-show.&#8221;
However, the chief economist at LPL Financial, Jeffrey Roach, said, "Surprisingly, new and used vehicle prices declined in May, despite many expecting an increase in prices from tariffs."
According to him, prices for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899298/automotive-and-apparel-companies-absorbed-tariff-costs-amid-better-than-expected-may-cpi-print-b">apparel and autos</a>, "both highly sensitive to trade conditions, declined in May." Apparel prices also declined in April, indicating that these companies likely "absorbed tariff costs."
"But don&#8217;t expect that to continue," he added.

Ericsson&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIC#NASDAQ">ERIC</a>) on Thursday <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45898387/ericsson-and-google-cloud-team-up-to-deliver-carrier-grade-5g-core-as-a-service-built-with-ai-at-t" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced the launch</a> of Ericsson On-Demand, a new solution delivering core network services as a true software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform to communications service providers (CSPs).
The platform is designed with Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud, leveraging AI infrastructure and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and is managed end-to-end by Ericsson.
The solution will help CSPs to quickly set up and grow core network services, cut operating costs, and gain business flexibility with a fully managed, cloud-native platform.

At a time when CSPs are under growing pressure to innovate at speed and scale while managing increasing operational complexity, Ericsson&#8217;s On-Demand platform deploys full core in minutes, scales up or down as needed, and allows CSPs to pay only for what they use and need not worry about managing the underlying infrastructure.
Ericsson On-Demand combines telecom-grade reliability with public cloud flexibility. The platform leverages GKE to simplify and improve network availability, in addition to Google Cloud&#8217;s full-stack AI infrastructure, globally across 42 cloud regions and more than two million miles of terrestrial and subsea fiber.
Ericsson On-Demand also helps CSPs add new features to their current systems bit-by-bit without causing any downtime.
Ericsson stock surged over 38% in the last 12 months.

Apple&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) senior vice president of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, says Siri won't morph into a ChatGPT rival anytime soon, insisting that &#8216;building a chatbot&#8217; was never the company&#8217;s goal.
What Happened: Speaking to Tom's Guide after WWDC 2025, Federighi said that Apple Intelligence aims to "meet you where you are," weaving AI into familiar apps rather than forcing users into a dedicated chat experience to get things done.
Federighi acknowledged conversational bots can act "as a therapist" and help people "brainstorm, do all kinds of things," but added that a chatbot was never the plan.

&#8220;When some of these Siri capabilities I mentioned [last year] didn&#8217;t show up, people kind of went like, well… what happened, Apple? I thought you were going to give us your chatbot. Well, that honestly…was never our goal,&#8221; Federighi explained.

Federighi said the company postponed last year's high-profile Siri revamp after testing showed version 1 "would not meet our customer expectations or Apple standards," a decision he called proof that "there's no need to rush out with the wrong features." Apple executives chose reliability over deadlines, warning it "would've been more disappointing to ship something that didn't hit our quality standard."
Why It Matters: The Apple SVP&#8217;s stance contrasts with OpenAI chief Sam Altman, who recently hailed ChatGPT as a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45809827/sam-altman-says-ai-can-replace-interns-but-gen-z-is-already-treating-it-like-a-work-buddy">life advisor</a>" teens consult before making big decisions.
Instead, Apple is rolling out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45844424/apple-wwdc-2025-ios-26-announced-with-liquid-glass-design-new-apple-intelligence-features-and-more">on-device tools</a> such as Call Screening and Hold for Me in the Phone app, plus Live Translate across Messages, FaceTime and calls, keeping the assistance "contextually relevant" inside each workflow.

The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) announced on Thursday that they have launched a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/japan" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint research laboratory</a> dedicated to advancing semiconductor research, education, and talent incubation.
Taiwan Semiconductor and UTokyo <a target="_blank" href="https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/3243" rel="noreferrer noopener">aim to promote</a> advanced research and development in semiconductor technologies, generate innovative solutions, and cultivate semiconductor talent to create and advance sustainable semiconductor technologies.
Since 2019, UTokyo and Taiwan Semiconductor have collaborated on advanced semiconductor research at the university and company levels.

Taiwan Semiconductor and UTokyo have extended their industry-academia partnership to include semiconductor education and next-generation talent incubation.
In 2023, UTokyo adopted Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s 16nm FinFET process technology for chip design training.
Located on UTokyo&#8217;s Asano campus in the Hongo district, the Lab will be managed by UTokyo faculty and staff and guided by directors from both UTokyo and Taiwan Semiconductor. It will serve as a central hub for a Strategic Collaboration initiative.
The Lab will facilitate research in semiconductor technologies, with an emphasis on practical applications in the future. It will cover areas such as materials, devices, processes, metrology, packaging, and circuit design.
Additionally, the Lab will explore collaboration through activities such as Taiwan Semiconductor-sponsored project calls and internship opportunities.
Taiwan Semiconductor, along with its Japan Design Center, Japan 3DIC R&amp;D Center, and Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing (JASM) specialty fab, will leverage the Lab to further its next-generation talent development.
Taiwan Semiconductor gained 24% in the last 12 months due to the AI frenzy prompting it to expand beyond Taiwan. However, the Trump administration&#8217;s tariff policies have hurt semiconductor companies.
However, last week, Taiwan Semiconductor CEO&nbsp;C.C. Wei&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45748492/taiwan-semiconductors-japan-chip-factory-faces-delays-while-us-expansion-takes-priority" rel="noreferrer noopener">blamed traffic jams</a> for hampering the progress of its Tokyo signature chipmaking project. He also highlighted to President&nbsp;Donald Trump the difficulties in completing the Arizona project in five years due to the skilled labor crisis.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s plan to build a second factory in Japan&#8217;s Kumamoto Prefecture remains vulnerable to the sudden influx of workers from the contract chipmaker&#8217;s first plant, which is damaging the rural infrastructure.
Interestingly, the chipmaker&#8217;s prioritization of the U.S. expansion reduced the urgency of production in Japan.
Reportedly, Taiwan, Japan, and the U.S. are establishing&nbsp;closer trilateral cooperation&nbsp;in&nbsp;the semiconductor industry, forming a &#8220;semiconductor iron triangle.&#8221;
Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura expects collaboration in advanced chips to help develop 5G, self-driving vehicles, and generative artificial intelligence.
Price Action: TSM stock is trading lower by 0.83% to $212.33 premarket at last check Thursday.

The trader seems to enjoy leveraged trading, having previously made a profit of $5.18 million in just two weeks by going long on ETH. He exited the position and flipped short right before prices dropped last week.
Why It Matters: These moves come after ETH&#8217;s rally, which began earlier this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45896961/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-fail-to-cheer-softer-inflation-china-trade-deal-analyst-says-btc-needs-to-hold-above-this-level-to-maintain-bullish-momentum">was cut short</a> on Wednesday. The cryptocurrency took a U-turn after cruising to $2,877.63 in the early hours.
Interestingly, nearly 60% of Binance traders with open ETH positions were positioned long, suggesting that they anticipated a price increase. 
Additionally, the balance held by long-term holders of ETH rose in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">according</a> to IntoTheBlock, indicating that accumulation was going on.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ethereum was exchanging hands at $2,746.34, down 12.81% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;
Benzinga Note: Leverage trading allows cryptocurrency traders to open larger positions using borrowed capital. While it can potentially amplify profits, it also significantly increases the risk of substantial losses due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies.
