The $7,500 EV tax credit is gone, but interest on a new car loan is now deductible, up to $10,000 a year, if the vehicle was assembled in the US. Here is the model-by-model eligibility list, the real dollar math, and the income limits.

Apple raised US prices on every Mac, iPad, and home device on June 25, 2026, eight days after Tim Cook admitted absorbing memory costs had become unsustainable. Micron's 84.9 percent gross margin explains who has the power now, and Apple's escape plan runs through a blacklisted Chinese chipmaker.
Dell raised commercial PC prices 15 to 20 percent in mid-December. Lenovo and ASUS followed in early January. IDC now reports all five major OEMs are signaling another 15 to 20 percent hike for the second half of 2026. DDR5 spot prices are up roughly 70 percent year-over-year, and memory makers are reallocating capacity to AI data centers. The buyer pays the difference.
Every NVIDIA AI server rack needs 441,000 ceramic capacitors. Two companies make 84% of them. Orders are double production capacity. Prices just jumped 35%. The AI boom's most overlooked bottleneck is not GPUs or memory - it is a component smaller than a grain of rice.
Beijing is weighing export curbs on the AI models that now carry up to 46% of US enterprise traffic. The weights already on disk can't be recalled, so the real fight is over every model that comes next.
Anthropic just extended no-extra-cost access to Claude Fable 5, its most powerful model, through July 12. You still need a paid plan, and Fable 5 drains your weekly usage limit faster than any other Claude model.
Per-token AI prices collapsed more than 280-fold in roughly two years, yet AI bills keep climbing. Agentic workloads multiplied consumption, GitHub moved Copilot to metered billing, and Anthropic paused its own repricing at the last minute. Here is the math behind the paradox.
The $7,500 EV tax credit is gone, but interest on a new car loan is now deductible, up to $10,000 a year, if the vehicle was assembled in the US. Here is the model-by-model eligibility list, the real dollar math, and the income limits.
Tesla just posted its best second quarter in company history and the stock had its worst day in a year. The two-year math, the US sales decline, and the Model Y L launch all tell the same story: the recovery is real, but it is not happening at home.
Australians bought more used EVs in March than dealers had listed for sale. Stock fell 38% in 30 days, leaving 28.6 days of supply. The Iran oil shock exposed the fact that Australia's used EV market never had any depth to begin with.
The White House ordered NSF to strip climate research out of NCAR and keep the weather work. The government's own budget documents, a federal judge, and 40 years of forecasting code say the two cannot be separated.
On June 22, the US Treasury quietly made buying Iranian crude legal through August 21. Fifteen days later it revoked the license. The paperwork tells a colder story than the ceasefire headlines: the deal was a supply valve, opened to crush a wartime oil premium and shut the moment the price fell.
The United States went to war to end Iran's nuclear program. The deal it signed on June 17 commits to lifting every sanction, clears the way for at least $300 billion to rebuild Iran, and leaves that program standing. The decision was not made on the battlefield. It was made in the oil market, where a closed Strait of Hormuz threatened to drag the West into recession.
The OCC is approving "bank" charters at a record pace, but a national trust bank cannot take your deposits, make loans, or carry FDIC insurance. Here is what the label actually buys, what happens when the ledger behind an app breaks, and how to check where your money really sits.
SpaceX joined the Nasdaq-100 on July 7, forcing index funds to buy it. The next morning SPCX hit an all-time low. Morgan Stanley says the stock is worth up to $8 trillion; Morningstar says $62. The gap is the whole story.
A dead Kentucky aluminum smelter, idled in 2022 because electricity got too expensive, just became the site of a 20-year, $19 billion AI lease with Anthropic. Its new owner is a Bitcoin miner. Across the sector, miners have signed tens of billions of dollars in AI hosting deals, not because they learned to build AI, but because they already own the one thing money cannot buy fast: an energized grid connection. Here is how weakness got repriced as scarcity, and where the real risk hides.
