South32 (OTC:SOUHY) Stock, Chaîne d'Options

South32

South32 was born of the demerger of noncore assets from BHP in 2015. Its major operations include alumina businesses in Australia and Brazil, aluminum in Brazil, South Africa, and Mozambique, and manganese businesses in Australia and South Africa. It sold New South Wales metallurgical coal in August 2024. It also owns the Cannington silver/lead/zinc mine in northwest Queensland and the Cerro Matoso nickel mine in Colombia. Cannington and manganese operations deliver high returns, but have relatively short reserve life. The company acquired Arizona Mining, which brings with it the high-grade and likely low-cost Taylor project in the US, and also entered the copper business in 2022 via the purchase of a 45% stake in the Sierra Gorda mine in Chile.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced plans to meet with his Chinese counterpart in the coming weeks to advance trade discussions between the world&#8217;s two largest economies, amid escalating tariff threats from President Donald Trump.
What Happened: &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be meeting with my Chinese counterpart at sometime in the next couple of weeks,&#8221; Bessent said in a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/07/07/several-trade-announcements-coming-in-the-next-48-hours-says-treasury-secretary-bessent.html">interview</a> on Monday. &#8220;We had good meetings in Geneva, in London. We both approached it with great respect.&#8221;
The announcement comes as Trump intensifies pressure on China through comprehensive tariff restructuring. On Sunday, Trump threatened an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46267477/trump-threatens-10-additional-tariff-on-all-brics-aligned-nations-says-tariff-letters-drop-at-noon-monday">additional 10% tariff on any country</a> aligning with BRICS anti-American policies, targeting the ten-nation alliance, including China, Russia, India, and Brazil.
Trump has signed &#8220;take it or leave it&#8221; letters to 12 countries detailing specific tariff rates, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirming plans to finalize deals with ten major trading partners by July 9. Base tariffs of 10% remain in effect, with additional levies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46267477/trump-threatens-10-additional-tariff-on-all-brics-aligned-nations-says-tariff-letters-drop-at-noon-monday">reaching up to 70% for some nations</a>.
Bessent indicated potential for broader cooperation beyond trade issues. &#8220;I think there are things for us to do together if the Chinese want to do it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So we will discuss whether we are able to move beyond trade into other areas.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The meeting comes as the Federal Reserve expresses caution about interest rate cuts due to potential inflationary impacts from escalating tariffs. Trump&#8217;s strategy has shifted from comprehensive negotiations to bilateral letters, which he considers more efficient than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46267477/trump-threatens-10-additional-tariff-on-all-brics-aligned-nations-says-tariff-letters-drop-at-noon-monday">complex multilateral trade talks</a>.

The bilateral discussions occur against a backdrop of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46267944/tiktok-to-roll-out-new-us-app-as-trump-says-we-pretty-much-have-a-deal-report">broader U.S.-China tensions</a>, including semiconductor export restrictions and ongoing negotiations over TikTok&#8216;s U.S. operations under ByteDance ownership.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Plans China Talks Amid Trump's Escalating Tariff Push

On Tuesday, Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) reported a sharp 56% drop in second-quarter operating profit, citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43003008/taiwan-semi-samsung-intel-may-face-stricter-us-rules-on-chip-exports-to-china-over-security-concerns">U.S. export restrictions</a> on advanced AI chips for China — a blow to its semiconductor business just days before its major Galaxy Unpacked product launch.
What Happened: The South Korean chipmaker estimated operating profit at 4.6 trillion won for the April–June period, missing the 6.2 trillion won forecast from LSEG SmartEstimate, reported Reuters.
That marks Samsung's weakest profit in six quarters, down from 10.4 trillion won a year earlier.
In a statement, Samsung attributed the decline to "inventory value adjustments and the impact of U.S. restrictions on advanced AI chips for China."

Sales were also impacted by delays in shipping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40198085/huawei-and-baidu-increase-samsung-hbm-purchases-as-us-curbs-loom">high-bandwidth memory</a> (HBM) chips to key U.S. customer Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), the report said.
Why It's Important: Samsung's semiconductor struggles underline its dependence on markets where U.S. trade policy now imposes major limitations, notably China. Meanwhile, rivals like SK Hynix and Micron have surged on AI-driven chip demand in the U.S., the report added.
Detailed second-quarter earnings are expected on July 31.

A third foldable, possibly a tri-fold smartphone, may also debut, hinted at by leaks and Samsung's use of the word &#8220;Ultra&#8221; in marketing.
In addition to foldables, Samsung will likely unveil the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, with possible health-tracking improvements like blood glucose monitoring.

US Export Bans And Nvidia Supply Issues Crush Samsung Chip Profits — Hopes Rest On Ultra-Thin Foldables, Smartwatches And Possible XR Debut At Galaxy Unpacked Event

Veteran investors, like Gerber Kawasaki's co-founder, Ross Gerber and Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives, have criticized Elon Musk's return to politics and questioned the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Board of Directors (BOD) as company stock declined almost 7% in the last 24 hours.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: Gerber took to social media platform X on Monday, slamming the Tesla Board of Directors, calling the entity "a joke" in his post.
"They are Elon vampires sucking the blood of tesla equity. They will do and say nothing," Gerber said before adding that no one was in favor of the "Elon First" party as he criticized Musk's proposed America First political party to take on U.S. President Donald Trump.

Elsewhere, Ives shared his thoughts in an interview with CNBC TV18 Prime on Monday. "It's the exact opposite of where you wanna see him at," Ives said when asked about Musk's return to politics.
The Tesla bull added that Musk risks becoming "a foe" for "Trump and the Republican Party" which is something a Tesla investor would not want to see. Ives conceded that Musk's political activities have put Tesla stock under pressure.
"It's the worry about if Musk continues to go down this route, what does that mean in terms of regulatory, in terms of Trump," he said. However, Ives did acknowledge that Trump and the GOP would want Musk in their camp.
Speaking on the Tesla Board, Ives said, "The board's gonna have to take some sort of action," in the situation and he referenced Musk's involvement with DOGE in the past. "There were some overtures or shots across the bow from the Board at the height of the DOGE situation," he said.
"You cannot have Musk start his political party and remain CEO of Tesla," Ives said, in what could be some harsh words from Ives, who usually maintains bullish views on the EV giant.

Why It Matters: The criticism follows Musk's doubling down on his political ambitions as tensions between the billionaire and Trump continue to rise, with Musk reigniting the Jeffrey Epstein <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46270547/elon-musk-reignites-jeffrey-epstein-client-list-row-adding-fuel-to-the-feud-with-trump">Client List row</a>.

Trump Memecoin Set To Launch On Tron Network Founded By Chinese-Born Billionaire Who Purchased Banana Duct-Taped To Wall For $6 Million

President Donald Trump's decision to impose 25% tariffs on imports from South Korea and Japan is drawing sharp criticism from economists who say the rationale behind the move is fundamentally flawed.
What Happened: On Monday, Economist Peter Schiff called out Trump&#8217;s public letters to both East Asian nations, saying that they showed &#8220;a complete lack of understanding of trade,&#8221; in a post on X.
Schiff notes that the tariffs charged by Japan on U.S. goods average under 2%, and are even lower in South Korea, at under 1%. &#8220;Our trade deficits result from South Korea and Japan making more goods that Americans want to buy than the goods we make that they want to buy,&#8221; he says.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46267477/trump-threatens-10-additional-tariff-on-all-brics-aligned-nations-says-tariff-letters-drop-at-noon-monday">Trump Threatens 10% &#8216;Additional&#8217; Tariff On All BRICS-Aligned Nations, Says Tariff Letters Drop At Noon Monday</a>
He also warns that the tariffs are unlikely to achieve their intended effect, which he blames on the falling U.S. dollar in recent months.
&#8220;Trump&#8217;s 25% tariffs will have a minimal effect on our trade deficits with either nation. In fact, as the dollar falls, our trade deficits will likely rise in dollar terms, as we pay more to import less,&#8221; he said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

This sentiment was echoed by University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers, who pointed out that South Korea already has a free trade agreement with the U.S. 
&#8220;The U.S. is imposing a 25% tariff on Korea because of trade deficits that it claims are &#8216;engendered by Korea&#8217;s Tariff and Non-Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers,'&#8221; Wolfers says. &#8220;But Korea has a free trade agreement with the U.S. It charges zero tariffs on nearly everything.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Over a month ago, Schiff had said the same, that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45404821/dollar-correction-imminent-sans-tariffs-to-reduce-the-us-trade-deficit-says-peter-schiff-minor-decline-would-make-trade-deficit-larger">only a major decline</a> in the U.S. dollar, one that makes imports prohibitively expensive for American consumers, can help reduce the trade deficit.
A minor decline like the present, on the other hand, would only serve to &#8220;make the trade deficit larger by increasing the cost of imports. The consequence is both inflation and interest rates will rise,&#8221; he said. 
Japan's Prime Minister&nbsp;Shigeru Ishiba has since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46288472/japans-prime-minister-criticizes-trumps-tariff-decision-shigeru-ishiba-calls-move-truly-regrettable">voiced his dissatisfaction</a> with Trump&#8217;s decision to impose 25% tariffs on goods imported from the country, calling it &#8220;truly regrettable.&#8221;

Trump's Letters To Japan And Korea Attract Criticism From Economists: Move Demonstrates 'Complete Lack Of Understanding Of Trade'

President Donald Trump notified Japan of 25% tariff rates on Monday, effectively extending negotiations until August 1 as Japan&#8217;s July 20 upper house election constrains deal-making. 
Trump&#8217;s 90-day pause on &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; tariffs expires Wednesday. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Japan&#8217;s &#8220;domestic constraints,&#8221; telling CNBC, &#8220;We&#8217;ll see where the Japanese deal goes.&#8221;
Japanese negotiator Ryosei Akazawa made seven U.S. trips in April-June, but automobile tariffs remain sticking points. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba told NHK Japan won&#8217;t &#8220;make easy compromises.&#8221; The Liberal Democratic Party-Komeito coalition needs 50 seats for stability.
The LDP-Komeito coalition is facing challenges in key single-member districts, which are critical to the election outcome, according to a Nikkei <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Trade-war/Trump-tariffs/Stalled-US-tariff-talks-hinge-on-Japan-s-upper-house-election">survey</a> conducted on Thursday and Friday. 
Any announcement of a tariff increase during the campaign period could further damage support for the Ishiba administration. According to Nikkei, political weakness would limit Japan&#8217;s negotiating flexibility on major concessions.

Trump May Have Sent Dear Japan Letter On Tariffs, But Tokyo Unlikely To Make Progress On Deal Until This Key Event Takes Place

Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary says he learned his most ruthless lesson in productivity three decades ago from Steve Jobs and he's still measuring entrepreneurs against it.
What Happened: "Steve would say, ‘They don't know what they want till I tell them,' " O'Leary recalled of quarterly meetings built around Oregon Trail upgrades during his stint making education software for Apple in the early 1990s.
O'Leary told Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpAZehPviLQ&amp;t=467s">podcast</a> that Jobs boiled success down to &#8220;signal-to-noise ratio,&#8221; an idea that a leader must lock onto the day's three to five critical tasks and ignore everything else. "For Steve Jobs it was 80 signal, 20 noise," he said. Jobs' focus was so intense, O'Leary added, that "he would email me at 2:30 in the morning and expect me to get back to him."

The Canadian investor called Jobs "not a nice guy," paraphrasing one blow-up in which the Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) co-founder snapped, "Shut up and do what I say." Yet the approach produced &#8220;wildly successful&#8221; results, O'Leary said.

He sees only one contemporary who outdoes the late Apple chief: "Elon Musk… he has no noise,&#8221; O'Leary said. &#8220;Sixty seconds of every minute, 60 minutes of every hour, the 18 hours he's awake, it's all signal. And look what he's achieved."That level of concentration, he argued, separates &#8220;geniuses of their time&#8221; from merely competent managers.
Why It Matters: The 70-year-old software mogul said he still teaches Jobs' formula to CEOs and MBA students. "It's not your vision for next year," he told Bartlett. "It's the next 18 hours you're awake."
Musk, for one, has repeatedly heralded hard work and long hours as major factors in success. At USC's Marshall School of Business commencement in 2014, Musk urged graduates to "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41428758/its-simple-math-musk-said-if-you-work-100-hours-a-week-and-others-work-50-youll-accomplish-twice-as">work super hard</a>," recounting how he and his brother launched their first company from a rented office where they slept on the couch and showered at the YMCA.
Steve Jobs was also one who demanded relentless focus at work from every employee at Apple, according to an account by Jony Ive. Ive, at an on-stage conversation back in 2014, called Jobs &#8220;the most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45718360/jony-ive-once-said-steve-jobs-demanded-everyone-at-apple-often-answer-this-question-it-still-shocks-me-how-few-people-actually-practice-this">remarkably focused</a> person I&#8217;ve ever met.&#8221;

Kevin O'Leary Says Steve Jobs Was 'Not A Nice Guy' But Taught Him A Success Formula That Elon Musk Now Uses

On Monday, Nassim Nicholas Taleb expressed concern for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk while criticizing his personality.
What Happened: Taleb, a Lebanese-American options trader and strategist who is known for his book "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable," took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, "I may find @elonmusk callous, insensitive, even extremely cruel (&amp; non-nuanced), but I root for him &amp; pray for his safety."

Why It's Important: The comment came amid Musk's ongoing feud with President Donald Trump over the "Big Beautiful Bill," a sweeping tax-and-spend package that adds trillions to the federal deficit.
Last month, Taleb also called on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45795080/whatever-you-think-of-elon-musk-you-must-support-his-fight-against-the-big-beautiful-bill-says-black-swan-author-nassim-taleb">others to support Musk's stance</a>. "Whatever you thin[k] of @elonmusk, you must support him in this. The Trump budget is a lunacy; it will bankrupt America," he wrote at the time.
Musk, who previously headed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been vocal in his criticism, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45784755/elon-musk-who-called-trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-a-disgusting-abomination-responds-to-coinbase-ceos-warning-that-bitcoin-could-replace-dollar">calling the bill</a> "a disgusting abomination."
On Saturday, Musk announced the formation of a new third party called the "America Party." <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46266957/trump-calls-america-party-a-train-wreck-blasts-elon-musk-for-going-completely-off-the-rails-president-says-system-not-designed-for-a-third-player">Trump responded</a> by calling the idea "ridiculous" and Musk "off the rails."
According to Bloomberg's Billionaires <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>, Musk's current <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46227172/musk-net-worth-drops-12-billion-after-new-trump-battle-tesla-ceo-is-still-77-times-richer-than-president">net worth stands</a> at $346 billion, reflecting a $15.3 billion decline in the latest change and a $86.7 billion drop year-to-date.

Elon Musk May Be Callous, Insensitive And 'Extremely Cruel' But 'Black Swan' Author Nassim Taleb Is Praying For His Safety Amid Rift With Trump

XDC Network (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">XDC</a>) rallied sharply on Monday, defying the broader market lag that restricted heavyweights like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
What happened: The XDC token jumped over 5% to become the most successful cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours, while the trading volume spiked nearly 24% to $30 million. The uptick pushed XDC to its highest value since June 12.

Bitcoin, the market leader, declined 1.35% during the last 24 hours, while Dogecoin fell 2.09%.

XDC Token Breaks Out With 5% Spike While Bitcoin, Dogecoin Retreat — What's Driving It?

Japan&#8217;s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has voiced his dissatisfaction with the U.S. decision to impose a 25% tariff on Japanese imports, a move initiated by President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Ishiba expressed disappointment over U.S. President Donald Trump&#8216;s decision to impose a 25% tariff on Japan, as <a href="https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20250708/p2g/00m/0na/017000c">reported</a> by The Daily Mainichi on Tuesday. During a government meeting, Ishiba remarked that the tariff decision is &#8220;truly regrettable.&#8221; He noted that the tariff was lower than initially threatened and that the deadline for reaching a potential agreement has been extended.
Ishiba emphasized that his administration will focus on bilateral discussions to achieve a mutually advantageous agreement. The Japanese government aims to continue negotiations with the United States to resolve the tariff issue.

Why It Matters: The imposition of these tariffs by Trump has sent shockwaves through global markets, with significant repercussions. On Monday,  Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46281204/wall-street-today-trump-tariffs-japan-south-korea-stocks-drop">experienced a notable slump</a>, and the U.S. dollar surged following the announcement of the tariffs. These tariffs, which affect all imports from Japan and South Korea, are set to begin on August 1 and are in addition to any existing sector-specific duties.
At the time of writing, the Nikkei was seen trading 0.2% higher at 39,679.09. 
The dollar index, which measures the greenback&#8217;s strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.517% to 97.467, touching a one-week high, reported Reuters. Japanese yen edged up 0.07% to 146.11 against the dollar.

Japan's Prime Minister Criticizes Trump's Tariff Decision: Shigeru Ishiba Calls Move 'Truly Regrettable'

Dave Portnoy, the founder and CEO of Barstool Sports, just announced a bold bet on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), following a pullback in the company&#8217;s shares early this week.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TSLA stock here.</a>
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, Portnoy stated that he had purchased $10 million worth of Tesla shares, in anticipation of a 10% bounce in under two weeks.
&#8220;Update – I bought the 10 milly $tsla hoping for 10% bounce in 2 weeks or less,&#8221; Portnoy posted on X, tagging the move as a #crazyelon play, a reference to CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s erratic behaviors that have since become a defining trait of the stock&#8217;s volatility in recent years.

In the video accompanying the post, Portnoy detailed his thought process behind the high-stakes trade. &#8220;I'm looking at Tesla. It's down seven and a half percent,&#8221; he says, likely sitting in front of his trading screen, while pondering &#8220;Do I put $10 million into Tesla right now, hope to make 10%, that's a million bucks?&#8221;
Portnoy says that he aims to make 10% or &#8220;a million bucks&#8221; in under two weeks with this investment, which he then plans to take to the Saratoga Race Course in New York.

Why It Matters: Tesla shares witnessed a pullback on Monday, down 6.79%, trading at $293.94 per share, following the escalating feud between Musk and President Donald Trump, and the former&#8217;s decision to form a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46265725/elon-musk-announces-formation-of-america-party-emerges-in-wake-of-donald-trumps-historic-spending-bill">new political entity</a>, dubbed the &#8220;America Party.&#8221;
Several experts, investors and analysts have hit out at Musk&#8217;s decision, with investment firm Azoria Partners <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46268694/elon-musks-america-party-plans-conflict-with-his-full-time-responsibilities-as-tesla-ceo-says-former-doge-advisor">delaying the listing</a> of its Azoria Tesla Convexity ETF as a result of this.
Azoria&#8217;s CEO, James Fishback, who once hailed the EV giant as the &#8220;most compelling investment,&#8221; believes Musk&#8217;s latest political pivot will result in &#8220;conflict with his full-time responsibilities as CEO of Tesla.&#8221;
&#8220;Unlike his work with SpaceX or xAI, which complement Tesla&#8217;s R&amp;D efforts in AI, automation, and engineering, a political party not only fails to complement Tesla&#8217;s mission, it actively undermines it,&#8221; Fishback said.
Wedbush Securities senior analyst&nbsp;Dan Ives echoed similar views, saying that Musk&#8217;s move was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46267326/elon-musks-america-party-is-a-move-in-the-opposite-direction-says-dan-ives-analyst-gary-black-says-difficult-to-predict-impact-on-tesla-brand-short-term">&#8220;exactly the opposite direction&#8221;</a>&nbsp;of what most Tesla investors would have wanted, especially during what he refers to as a &#8220;crucial period for Tesla.&#8221;

On-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant drew attention to Bitcoin's bounce above the 365-day Simple Moving Average, a level that has historically served as strong support.
"Historically, as long as MVRV stays above its SMA365, the uptrend tends to continue," CryptoQuant added.
MVRV, a shorthand for Market Value to Realized Value, is a ratio used to assess the value of a cryptocurrency by comparing its current market value to its realized value.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Dip On Macro Jitters From Trump's Japan, South Korea Tariffs: Analyst Says BTC 6 Months Away From Top If History Repeats

Ruoming Pang, the AI model lead at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), is reportedly leaving to join Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
What Happened: Pang, who was leading Apple's AI model team responsible for training Cupertino's foundational models, is the latest hire to escalate Meta's suprintelligence efforts, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-07/apple-loses-its-top-ai-models-executive-to-meta-s-hiring-spree?srnd=phx-technology">reported</a> Bloomberg on Monday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Meta proposed a compensation package valued at tens of millions of dollars annually to ensure Pang joins the Facebook parent. At Apple, Zhifeng Chen will take over his responsibilities.

On the same day, Meta also brought on board Yuanzhi Li, a researcher from OpenAI, and Anton Bakhtin, formerly of Claude at Anthropic PBC, the report added, citing people with knowledge.
Apple and Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It's Important: The latest move by Meta is another in the series of pushes the company is taking to expand its superintelligence unit.
Last month, Zuckerberg's company also brought Scale AI's Alexandr Wang, startup founder Daniel Gross and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman on board with lucrative <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46010604/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-reportedly-looking-to-hire-former-github-ceo-nat-friedman-and-investor-daniel-gross-as-part-of-aggressive-ai-expansion-strategy">compensation packages</a>.
Previously, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that Meta has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041399/meta-tried-luring-openais-top-minds-with-massive-paychecks-but-sam-altman-neglected-to-mention-that-hes-countering-those-offers-says-andrew-bosworth">been approaching several</a> people at ChatGPT-parent, luring them with substantial offers. However, he said that none of the startup's top talent took these offers.
Price Action: Meta shares edged up 0.014% in after-hours trading, while Apple shares slipped 0.46% during the same period, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that META maintains a solid upward trend across the short, medium and long term.

Tesla, SoFi Technologies, Rocket Lab, Bit Digital, And Circle Internet Group: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's mother revealed she still refuses to buy Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) coffee, despite the fact that Uber Eats delivers it.
What Happened: During a segment aired by CBS Sunday Morning on June 29, Khosrowshahi and his mother, Lili Khosrowshahi, sat down to reflect on their family&#8217;s journey from fleeing the Iranian revolution to leading one of America's most influential tech companies.
While discussing their early struggles in the U.S., Lili dropped a candid—and slightly cheeky—remark that caught viewers&#8217; attention.

&#8220;We came from a much better life to a smaller life. At the time, coffee was 15 cents and I wouldn&#8217;t even buy a cup of coffee,&#8221; she said, describing their frugal beginnings. &#8220;In fact, I don&#8217;t pay for Starbucks coffee to this day.&#8221;
Dara, chuckling, quickly jumped in with a reminder. &#8220;Mom, Starbucks is a customer of Uber Eats. You got to talk it up,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;I love Starbucks.&#8221;
To which Lili responded, "I'll let you pay, yes."

Why It's Important: Khosrowshahi's family fled Tehran in 1978 during the revolution, losing everything in the process. The family eventually settled first in southern France and later in the United States, where they lived with a relative in Tarrytown, New York.
The exchange was a rare personal peek into the family dynamics of the Uber chief, who took the reins of the company in 2017 and has since worked to reform its corporate culture and public image.
Uber currently has a market cap of $195.79 billion. Dara has an estimated net worth of $250 million, <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/ceos/dara-khosrowshahi-net-worth/">according</a> to Celebrity Net Worth. Before leading Uber, Dara served as the CEO of Expedia Group, an online travel company that operates several travel fare aggregator sites.

Uber CEO's Mother Refuses To Buy Starbucks Coffee Thanks To Her Frugal Beginnings — Even Though Her Son's Company Delivers It: 'You Got To Talk It Up' Says Dara Khosrowshahi

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has put forth former U.S. President Donald Trump as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. This nomination was made during a meeting at the White House, highlighting the ongoing collaboration between the U.S. and Israel in addressing Middle Eastern diplomatic issues.
What Happened: Netanyahu presented Trump with a nomination letter during a meeting at the White House on Monday, reported Reuters.
During the meeting, Netanyahu expressed that Israel, alongside the United States, is actively seeking countries willing to improve the future prospects for Palestinians.

Why It Matters: The nomination of Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize by Benjamin Netanyahu is not an isolated event. Earlier this year, Trump himself hinted at his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45003238/trump-says-he-may-deserve-a-nobel-peace-prize-for-this-reason">potential candidacy</a> for the prize due to his contributions to the Abraham Accords. This historic agreement, signed during his presidency, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, marking a significant diplomatic achievement.
In addition, Pakistan announced its intention to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043222/pakistan-will-nominate-genuine-peacemaker-trump-for-nobel-peace-prize">reducing tensions</a> between India and Pakistan. His intervention during a critical standoff between these nuclear-armed neighbors was credited with averting a potential conflict, according to Islamabad.

Trump Proposed For Nobel Prize By Netanyahu, Israeli PM Says Seeking Countries To Provide Palestinians Better Future

A recent episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZwraX7z64g">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; featured a caller who revealed a complicated financial and personal situation that left co-hosts John Delony and Jade Warshaw urging her to take action.
The woman named Beth explained that her husband owns a house in New Jersey that he rents to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46159715/a-caller-told-dave-ramsey-his-girlfriend-was-overspending-on-his-credit-card-ramseys-response-you-gave-your-roommate-a-credit-card">his ex-girlfriend</a>. He doesn't even collect the rent himself; she pays the mortgage directly, which has only added to the lack of accountability.
The two share a child, which is why the arrangement was initially made. But the caller said the ex has been consistently late on rent, and it&#8217;s now affecting their chances of buying a new home.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Late Payments, Damaged Credit</h2>
&#8220;She's been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-happens-if-you-miss-a-mortgage-payment">late on payments</a>,&#8221; the caller said, noting that the mortgage is solely in her husband&#8217;s name. &#8220;In this year alone&#8230; she was late on three payments past the 30-day mark.&#8221;
According to a deeper credit report, the ex has made about 20 late payments in the last five years. This history has now shown up on the husband&#8217;s credit report, jeopardizing their ability to qualify for a mortgage.
&#8220;You're not getting a house,&#8221; Warshaw said flatly. &#8220;Not for a while.&#8221;
Delony acknowledged that the husband may have avoided direct involvement to minimize conflict. &#8220;He doesn't have an obligation to that mother or that new stepdad. That's their responsibility,&#8221; he said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Time To Sell</h2>
Both hosts strongly advised selling the home.
&#8220;Y'all got to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39418407/dave-ramseys-advice-for-selling-your-house-quickly-this-isnt-rocket-science-but-its-key">sell the house</a>,&#8221; Delony said. &#8220;This has been going on long enough. It's been five years for crying out loud,&#8221; Warshaw added. &#8220;You&#8217;re not throwing them out. You&#8217;re giving them five, six months to get their own space. That&#8217;s fair. He owns the house.&#8221;
The caller said her husband has been responsible with money overall and his credit score is still in the low 700s. But the emotional dynamics of the breakup and desire to provide stability for his daughter had complicated things. Still, both hosts emphasized that the situation had dragged on too long.
&#8220;You've been the safety net this whole time,&#8221; Warshaw said. &#8220;If they&#8217;re struggling with $1,100 on this rent, they&#8217;re struggling struggling.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bigger Picture Questions</h2>
Beth also revealed that the father only sees his daughter every other weekend. Delony questioned whether that arrangement still makes sense, especially since it was based on his old work schedule.
&#8220;If he is okay seeing his daughter every other weekend, more power to you,&#8221; Delony said. &#8220;I couldn't live like that. If her new stepdad and her biological mom cannot afford to find a place to live, cannot afford groceries, I&#8217;m going to have a different conversation with them in the courts about my daughter&#8217;s well-being and safety, right?&#8221;
Delony wrapped it up in one line: &#8220;I'm not going to burn down my financial life supporting somebody that has no interest in supporting themselves.&#8221;
