โก๐บ๐ธ Bloomberg reports that the "circle debt" phenomenon in Ai investment continues to dominate the Ai industry.
In simple terms companies are lending each other debt to keep each other alive using their own inflated overvalued stocks as collateral. While using different methods like merges to get even more debt.
Translation: Tech industry valuations (which make up most recent stock market gains) are largely driven by circle jerk deals that lead to stock price boosts and not real productive activity.
The question is how long can this merry go round continue?

Israel is surprised by the rapid reconstruction of Iran's defense industries
**
๐น Jerusalem Post, quoting officials from Israel's army and Mossad, reported that the speed of rebuilding Iran's defense industry after the joint war between Israel and America against Iran has surprised Israel.
๐น The damage caused to Iran's defense industry has only delayed the activity of this sector for a few months instead of a few years.
๐น Iran has also maintained the ability to rapidly produce ballistic missiles.

The Renminbi rally underlines the US lack of fiscal discipline and the rampant weaponization of the US dollar. The FED under President Trump's appointee Kevin Warsh has so far held off rising interest rate.

๐ฎ๐ท๐ Iranian swift missile recovery leaves Israeli leadership in shock
Israeli military and intelligence officials have been caught off guard by the speed at which Iran has restored its military capabilities following the 2026 war, according to the Jerusalem Post.
During the 40-day war in 2026, the US and Israel launched more than 30,000 strikes against approximately 2,600 military and industrial targets, vastly exceeding previous campaigns in both scale and intensity. Yet despite the scale of the damage, Israeli defense officials have privately acknowledged that Iran has managed to rebuild faster than anticipated.
๐ด Iran used bulldozers to clear access to underground missile facilities that had been sealed off but not destroyed. This allowed it to regain access to stored munitions and arsenals
๐ด More critically, Iranian officials have confirmed that new production is now resuming at a far greater speed than analysts had projected, almost returning to its previous pace
๐ด If Iran can sustain a production rate of 100 to 300 missiles per month, it could restore its arsenal levels by mid-2027
Despite IDF assurances that the situation remains under control, Israeli leadership is beginning to sense a strategic deadlock amid growing disagreements with the US, which has shown little appetite for further escalation.
Trump's administration's "peace rhetoric" is driven by a stark contrast with Iran: while Iran is surging production, US stockpiles are being depleted at an alarming rate.
โก๏ธ Nearly half of the US Tomahawk cruise missile inventory has been expended
โก๏ธ Patriot interceptor stocks have dropped from roughly 2,200 before the war to between 759 and 827, while THAAD interceptors have fallen from 452 to fewer than 278
โก๏ธ Gulf allies have also warned that missile interceptor shortages could weaken their capacity to intercept Iranian missiles if they come under retaliatory fire following further American strikes
โก๏ธ US Army leadership, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Caine, is raising alarms and pressing Trump to withdraw from the conflict
