Year To Date Performances:

1. As the AI arms race accelerates, tech giants Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft plan to invest up to $320 billion in 2025, a sharp rise from $230 billion last year, to expand data centers and AI capabilities. Amazon leads with a $100 billion budget, focusing on AWS, while Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta will spend $80 billion, $75 billion, and up to $65 billion, respectively. Concerns over cost efficiency surged after China’s DeepSeek challenged U.S. AI dominance at a fraction of the cost, triggering an $800 billion market selloff in AI chip stocks. Despite recent cloud revenue shortfalls, executives remain committed, betting on long-term AI-driven growth.

2. A federal judge has temporarily barred DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, from accessing sensitive Treasury Department data, following a lawsuit by 19 state attorneys general challenging Elon Musk’s authority over confidential financial records. The order, issued by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, blocks political appointees and special government employees from handling payment systems containing Social Security numbers and other private information. The case adds to mounting legal scrutiny of DOGE, with a separate union-led lawsuit alleging federal privacy violations.

3. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s plan to place 2,200 USAID employees on administrative leave as part of an effort to shut down the agency. The ruling by Judge Carl Nichols follows lawsuits from federal worker groups arguing that dismantling USAID would create a global humanitarian crisis. The administration claims the agency is rife with fraud and corruption, with Trump calling for its closure and Elon Musk boasting about its dismantling. The ruling does not apply to 500 employees already placed on leave.

4. Headlines

   1. The Pell Grants Fund, used to help ~40% of all US undergraduate students pay for college, is facing a $2.7B shortfall due to President Trump’s funding freeze.

   2. OpenAI is planning to open a European office in Germany.
