En este episodio cubrimos los eventos más importantes antes de la apertura del mercado: • Wall Street cierra semana con cautela fiscal: Futuros a la baja: $SPX -0.1%, $US100 -0.1%, $INDU -0.2%. Rendimientos estables: bono a 10 años en 4.53%, bono a 2 años en 4%. El mercado digiere los efectos del nuevo plan fiscal de Trump sobre el déficit. Persisten las dudas pese a la aprobación en la Cámara. Atención hoy en las ventas de viviendas nuevas (esperadas: 694K). Lunes cerrado por Memorial Day. • Trump prepara impulso para el sector nuclear: Según Reuters, Trump firmaría hoy órdenes ejecutivas para declarar emergencia nacional por dependencia de uranio ruso y chino. Invocaría la Defense Production Act para agilizar proyectos nucleares, aprobar nuevos reactores y usar financiamiento del Departamento de Energía. Las acciones del sector subieron en el aftermarket. • Wall Street explora su propia stablecoin: $JPM, $BAC, $C y $WFC analizan lanzar una stablecoin conjunta a través de Early Warning y Clearing House.

Bancos regionales también estudian alternativas. • Apple extiende su racha negativa: $AAPL cayó -0.5% y suma siete jornadas seguidas en rojo, acumulando -20% en 2025. Factores clave: tasas altas, menor confianza del consumidor, presión arancelaria y exposición a China. También enfrenta desafíos legales con Epic Games y el DOJ.

John and Ryan are back with a Game Deflators Podcast episode breaking down the latest gaming and tech shake-ups. First up, they tackle Nintendo's pricing strategy for the Switch 2—could tariffs and rising production costs lead to a price hike in the future?

Benjamin and Chance talk about all the big Apple news of the week, including Apple's latest earnings report, the new 2025 Pride band and wallpaper, and several rumors about the upcoming iPhone roadmap. Apple is apparently going to shift some of its phone releases to the spring going forward, and the 17 Air might not have the battery life we originally hoped. And in Happy Hour Plus, Eddy Cue makes provocative claims about the future of the iPhone in court testimony. We discuss what he meant. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.

This week, Ben and Dave tackle two major policy stories making headlines. Ben unpacks the Fourth Circuit's long-awaited ruling in United States v. Chatrie, where the court failed to reach a majority decision on whether geofence warrants violate the Fourth Amendment. Instead, the panel affirmed the lower court's decision based solely on the good-faith exception, leaving key constitutional questions unanswered. Then, Dave covers the latest twist in the Epic Games v. Apple saga: a federal judge ruled that Apple willfully defied a court order to open up iOS app payment options—referring the company and a senior executive for potential criminal investigation.

A federal judge has just delivered a stunning blow to Apple's App Store dominance, permanently banning the tech giant from charging commissions on purchases made outside their walled garden. This landmark ruling in Epic Games' ongoing legal battle against Apple not only paves the way for Fortnite's return to iOS but signals a fundamental shift in how digital marketplaces operate. Could this be the beginning of the end for Apple's notorious 30% "tax" on developers?Meanwhile, your polite interactions with AI might be costing more than you think. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently revealed that users saying "please" and "thank you" to ChatGPT costs the company tens of millions of dollars annually—money he considers "well spent." Beyond the financial implications, these interactions have surprising environmental consequences, with AI-generated content consuming substantial energy resources. As 67% of users report being polite to their AI assistants (with 12% doing so to appease potential robot overlords), the question emerges: does courtesy to algorithms matter?The financial world isn't sitting idle either. Visa's ambitious new initiative aims to give AI agents direct access to your wallet, allowing them to make purchases on your behalf based on preferences and budgets. This move beyond simple chatbots raises profound questions about convenience versus control in our digital lives. As consumer credit card debt soars past $1.21 trillion, should we trust algorithms to manage our spending habits?
