On today’s show, global stocks rally after the US President said he sees the war on Iran ending within two to three weeks. Donald Trump suggests the US has largely accomplished its military goals, and will leave it to other countries to resolve issues with the Strait of Hormuz. The Wall Street Journal reports that the UAE is lobbying for a military coalition to forcibly reopen the Strait.
Also on the programme, OpenAI hits a $852 billion valuation after it raised $122 billion in its largest funding round on record. Amazon, Nvidia and SoftBank are providing the bulk of the financing, with Amazon’s $35 billion investment contingent on OpenAI going public or achieving artificial general intelligence.
