To deal with the U.S.'s national security concerns, the U.S. and Saudi governments have reportedly discussed creating data embassies, where data centres will fall under foreign regulations rather than local laws around data protection. Meanwhile, Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang announced a deal to deploy 18,000 chips with newly launched Saudi AI firm Humain for a data centre that is expected to reach 500 megawatts. AMD also announced a US$10B partnership with the artificial intelligence (AI) company to build out its AI infrastructure over the next five years. Boeing Co rose +2.46% following reports that China had lifted its ban on deliveries of US-made aircraft.

The Dow and S&P 500 posted a fifth consecutive session of gains, booking their longest winning streak of 2025 to date and settling well off their session lows in a muted trading to open a very busy week of corporate earnings and economic data - Dow rose +114-points or +0.28%. Boeing Co rose +2.44% to US$182.30, buoyed by an upgrade from analysts at Bernstein to ‘outperform with a target price of US$218 (from US$181 previously), and as its deal to reacquire Spirit AeroSystems Holdings (+2.61%) cleared another hurdle. International Business Machines (IBM) Corp +1.61% after pledging a US$150B investment over the next five years to aid the development of technology in the U.S. The company said it would invest more than US$30B in research and development to continue its domestic manufacturing of mainframe and quantum computers. Nvidia Corp fell -2.05% following a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that China's Huawei Technologies has developed a new chip called the Ascend 910D, with hopes it will become be more powerful than Nvidia's H100. Huawei is already poised to ship more than 800,000 of its Ascend 910B and 910C chips to customers including state-owned telecommunications carriers and private AI developers, such as TikTok's parent ByteDance, according to the WSJ. Nvidia's H100 was released in 2022 and has since been superseded by later generations of its Hopper chips and its new Blackwell AI semiconductors. Nvidia is prohibited from selling its most powerful AI chips to Chinese companies.

The pharmaceutical major slightly lowered its earnings forecast for 2025 to account for a US$200M upfront payment to Hengrui Pharma in a licensing deal, now projecting non-GAAP EPS of between US$8.82 and US$8.97 (down from a range of between US$8.88 and US$9.03 previously).

US equity markets mixed after another volatile as the sweeping Trump administration tariff measures continued to reverberate, with the president threatening even higher rates against China and the White House denying reports that they were considering a 90-day tariff pause on all countries except China - Dow fell -349-points or -0.91%, spiking as much as +2.3% during a brief morning session surge.  The Dow swung more than >2,500 points between its intra-day low and high, its largest intra-day points swing on record and all within the opening hour of trading. Apple Inc fell -3.67% after declining -7.3% last Friday (4 April) and was the worst performing Dow component overnight. The iPhone maker, which assembles a large majority of its products in China, slumped -13.6% last week to see US$443.5B wiped off its market capitalisation, the largest weekly market cap decline on record, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Home Depot Inc (down -3.5%) and Travelers Companies Inc (-3.48%) both fell ~3.5%. Nvidia Corp (up +3.53%) was the leading performer in the 30-stock index.

All three major U.S. stock indices snapped a three-day winning streak as an imminent tariff announcement from President Trump derailed the recovery from a month-long selloff - Dow fell -132.71-points or 0.31% lower. Nvidia Corp fell -5.74% amid concerns about possible new restrictions on the chipmaker's sales in China. Regulators in China have been discouraging the country's large technology companies from purchasing Nvidia's H20 chip - specifically designed to satisfy U.S. sanctions on exports - as it breaches energy-efficiency rules, the Financial Times reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Boeing Co fell -2.1% after a federal judge ordered the airplane maker to go to trial in June in a criminal case related to two 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday (24 March) that Boeing sought to withdraw an earlier agreement to plead guilty in the case that blamed it for deceiving regulators before the crashes. The broader S&P500 shed -1.1% and the biggest decline in almost 2 weeks. Consumer staples rose +1.42%, leading five of the eleven primary sectors higher. Information technology was the worst hit -down -2.46% and sat at the foot of the primary sector leaderboard followed by Communication services- down 2.04%

QUESTION PRESENTED:(1) Whether plaintiffs seeking to allege scienter under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act based on allegations about internal company documents must plead with particularity the contents of those documents; and (2) whether plaintiffs can satisfy the Act's falsity requirement by relying on an expert opinion to substitute for particularized allegations of fact. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The US Supreme Court struggled with where to draw the appropriate lines in bread-and-butter cases involving Nvidia Corp., criminal law, and immigration deadlines. In the securities case, the court looked for what Chief Justice John Roberts called a "sweet spot" in the Nvidia investor suit alleging the chipmaker at the heart of the AI boom misled the public about its dependence on crypto-mining revenue. In the criminal case, the justices described the argument that an attempted murder-for-hire scheme isn't a crime of violence as "absurd." But they found similar irrationality in the government's argument on the other side. And finally, the justices similarly struggled over whether to give immigrants who voluntarily agree to leave the country more flexibility to appeal their deportation. Cases and Controversies hosts Kimberly Robinson and Greg Stohr breakdown the justices' concerns in the latest episode. Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler. Producer: Mo Barrow.
