Nvidia's record earnings revive AI trade.

Salesforce AI partnership drives stock.
Salesforce had its best day in six years after a strong revenue guide and an expanded Anthropic partnership, reassuring investors that it can compete in the AI era.
CRM MED

Bond market cautious on hawkish Fed.
The bond market is cautious into Jackson Hole with long-term rates elevated; comments from two Fed officials leaned hawkish, leaving investors watching whether rates may need to rise and whether the Fed can return inflation to 2%.
TLT MED
Sid Miller Texas Agriculture Commissioner 25:08
Foreign beef imports hurt US ranchers.
Trump's move to allow more foreign beef imports is a bad policy for the industry because it fails to rebuild the cattle herd, worsens the agriculture trade deficit, and takes profits from American ranchers, leaving US beef producers less attractive.

US data center dominance wins AI race.
The US has more data centers than China—over 500 in Texas alone versus China's 453—and is on track for 5,000 in the United States; the AI race is effectively over and US data-center buildout remains dominant.
