Australian AI startup granted AUKUS exemption for autonomous vessel software
SYDNEY (Reuters) -An Australian AI startup developing software for crewless boats said it has been granted one of the first AUKUS exemption licences by the Australian government, allowing it to share information with defence contractors in the U.S. and Britain.
Defence officials have said Australia will rely more on autonomous systems to protect its vast coastline and up to 1.2 million square miles (3.1 million sq km) of northern ocean, even as it spends billions on nuclear-powered submarines.
Australia, the United States and Britain removed significant barriers on defence trade in August through an exemption to the U.S. International Trafficking in Arms Regulations, designed to speed up construction of nuclear-powered submarines under the Australia-UK-US (AUKUS) pact.
The co-founder of the Greenroom Robotics startup, former Royal Australian Navy engineer Harry Hubbert, told Reuters the licence exemption will also speed up the company's collaboration on autonomous vessel trials with defence companies in Britain and the United States.
Greenroom's software acts like "the brain of a vessel", he said, emulating what a helmsman or navigator would do by talking to the rudder, engine and radar systems on board.
Trials of the software have been conducted on boats ranging from a one-metre long research vessel to an offshore patrol boat, he said.
Greenroom has a partnership with navy shipbuilder Austal Australia and has also worked with British company Subsea Craft on a tactical water vessel, Hubbert said.
Greenroom's software is dual-use, and can also be applied to help vessels monitor for whales, he added.
"The opportunity with AUKUS is that we can enter U.S. and UK markets but also expand the horizon," he said.
With around 80% of the ocean floor uncharted to modern standards, autonomous vessels can gather information that helps ocean research, national security needs and sea-borne trade, he said.

Etsy Q2 2025 Earnings Preview: GMS Under Macro Pressure
Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY) reports before the bell on July 30. Consensus targets point to EPS $0.48 and revenue $647.4 million, implying flat revenue and about 17% EPS growth. Shares are up approximately 60% since the April 2025 low and sit just below the 52-week high of $66.31, though still far from the November 2021 peak of $307.75. The shares have been under pressure since the pandemic, but tariffs on imported goods could renew interest in Etsy's US-made handmade offerings and give the company a second life. Investors will watch whether Etsy can reignite Gross Merchandise Sales after last year's flat revenue. Signals include active-buyer and active-seller counts (both trending lower), conversion from Offsite Ads, and any change in the 23% take-rate logged in Q1. Management aims to hold adjusted EBITDA margin near the 25% level despite marketing spend and higher payment-processing fees. Guidance on cost discipline and ad monetization will be key. Strong FCF conversion or incremental share-repurchase authorization could support the stock's 40 forward P/E, but a soft GMS print or weaker buyer engagement may outweigh an earnings beat.

Trump tariffs live updates: US, EU rush to finalize deal as 90-day extension of China trade truce likely
The US and EU are racing to lock in the final details of their major new trade deal before Friday's deadline. But critics say its a rushed fix, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz calling the outcome unsatisfying, while France's Bayrou dubbed the EU's 'submission' a 'dark day'. President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced Sunday that the US and EU had agreed to the framework of a trade deal that included a baseline tariff rate of 15% on EU goods imported into the US. Trump, called the deal 'the biggest of them all,' while von der Leyen said that "15% is not to be underestimated, but it is the best we could get." EU reaction to the agreement was decidedly mixed, with Germany and France offering perhaps the strongest criticism. Trump also confirmed on Monday that 15% represents the new standard for tariff negotiations. 'For the world, I would say it'll be somewhere in the 15% to 20% range,' Trump said in Scotland as he met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Meanwhile, another round of US-China talks kicked off this week, with markets hoping for another extension of the countries' trade truce. The South China Morning Post, a Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper, reported that is seen as the likely outcome. This was confirmed by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick who said a 90-day China trade truce extension is likely. Last week, Trump said that letters dictating tariff rates for over 200 countries would go out soon while his administration works to clinch deals with larger trade partners. Trump said the US hasn't had a "lot of luck" with Canada and suggested he may impose threatened 35% levies on goods not covered by the US-Canada-Mexico trade agreement. Trump also touted a deal with Japan that included a $550 billion investment in the US and a 15% tariff on goods imported into the US from Japan. Japan said Tuesday its trade deal with the US eased policy uncertainty but warned US trade actions could still weigh on its economy. Meanwhile, US Trade Representative Jamison Greer said "more negotiations" would be needed with India, just days before the Aug. 1 deadline.

If this information from the US on zero tariffs on semiconductor equipment is correct then this would be very positive for ASML in particular, but also for VAT.

Spotify stock sinks after Q2 earnings miss Spotify (SPOT) shares fell as much as 10% in early premarket trading Tuesday after the company missed second quarter earnings and revenue expectations. The results follow a remarkable 120% rally over the past year, as the stock rebounded from 2022 lows on the back of price hikes, cost cuts, and investor enthusiasm for AI and advertising. Spotify hit a record high of $738.45 earlier this month, but shares slid to around $635 immediately following the results. Spotify reported second quarter revenue of €4.19 billion ($4.86 billion), missing analyst expectations of €4.27 billion, though up from €3.81 billion in the same period last year. The company posted an adjusted loss of €0.42 ($0.49) per share, sharply missing forecasts for a profit of €1.97 and down from earnings of €1.33 in Q2 2024. "Outsized currency movements during the quarter impacted reported revenue by €104 million vs. guidance," the company said in the earnings release. Operating income also fell short of expectations in the quarter, though subscriber metrics for both premium and ad-supported tiers came in ahead of estimates. Gross margins of 31.5% came in as expected. Spotify's massive rally heading into the earnings report was fueled by a sweeping business overhaul, including layoffs, leadership changes, and a pullback from costly podcast exclusivity. After spending $1 billion to build out its podcast business, the company has since scaled back and narrowed its focus. Still, it remains committed to the medium, paying over $100 million to creators in Q1 alone, including high-profile names like Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper. Read more here.

Spotify stock sinks after Q2 earnings miss Spotify (SPOT) shares fell as much as 10% in early premarket trading Tuesday after the company missed second quarter earnings and revenue expectations. The results follow a remarkable 120% rally over the past year, as the stock rebounded from 2022 lows on the back of price hikes, cost cuts, and investor enthusiasm for AI and advertising. Spotify hit a record high of $738.45 earlier this month, but shares slid to around $635 immediately following the results. Spotify reported second quarter revenue of €4.19 billion ($4.86 billion), missing analyst expectations of €4.27 billion, though up from €3.81 billion in the same period last year. The company posted an adjusted loss of €0.42 ($0.49) per share, sharply missing forecasts for a profit of €1.97 and down from earnings of €1.33 in Q2 2024. "Outsized currency movements during the quarter impacted reported revenue by €104 million vs. guidance," the company said in the earnings release. Operating income also fell short of expectations in the quarter, though subscriber metrics for both premium and ad-supported tiers came in ahead of estimates. Gross margins of 31.5% came in as expected. Spotify's massive rally heading into the earnings report was fueled by a sweeping business overhaul, including layoffs, leadership changes, and a pullback from costly podcast exclusivity. After spending $1 billion to build out its podcast business, the company has since scaled back and narrowed its focus. Still, it remains committed to the medium, paying over $100 million to creators in Q1 alone, including high-profile names like Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper. Read more here.
