Trump: Consumer confidence has risen by 7.5%, a very substantial increase.

Renowned trader Killa posted that he is still holding his long Bitcoin position entered around $76,400, with no changes to his current trading plan. To capture significant market moves, one must patiently endure extended sideways ranges and dull price action; the difference between profitable and losing traders often lies in patience and the ability to stick to a predefined plan amid shifting market sentiment. Killa noted he will not move his stop-loss up to the entry price, instead holding the position until either his target is hit or the stop-loss is triggered. Frequent position changes by traders are precisely why many suffer trading losses; the key is whether the market structure has changed or if the trading plan needs adjustment. Both factors remain unchanged, so he will not panic, second-guess himself, or waver, and will continue executing his original strategy.

US President Trump said that soon, we will officially ban the term "artificial intelligence (AI)" in all relevant documents.

Oracle (ORCL.N) has launched an AI data platform designed for large-scale enterprise artificial intelligence applications. The company announced an expansion of its cloud AI chip collaboration with NVIDIA (NVDA.O), planning to scale the deployment of AI servers equipped with NVIDIA’s next-generation Vera Rubin chips to the multi-gigawatt level. It will also introduce Google TPU chips, along with AI inference chips from SambaNova Systems and Cerebras Systems, to enrich its computing power supply. Oracle further plans to use its self-developed Acceleron network chips in some NVIDIA servers to replace a portion of NVIDIA’s networking products. The firm stated that different AI workloads have varying computing power needs, and a diversified chip supply helps customers select suitable infrastructure based on performance, throughput and cost. NVIDIA dominates the AI training chip market, while competition in the AI inference market is more diverse.

The Trump administration is considering providing up to $5 billion in financing to Constellation Energy to upgrade and modernize its nuclear reactor facilities in Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said the conditional loan commitment will support the projects, which are expected to add nearly 1.1 gigawatts (GW) of power, helping strengthen the grid and reduce costs. U.S. Energy Secretary Wright will announce the financing deal later Tuesday at an Illinois nuclear power plant that supplies electricity to Google. Wright said in a statement: “The DOE is accelerating the implementation of President Trump’s ‘American Nuclear Renaissance’ initiative and fully unlocking the potential of the nation’s existing nuclear facilities.”
