Friday Harbor unveils AI-powered condition engine to deliver faster, cleaner, audit-ready mortgage files
SEATTLE, Wash., May 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, today announced the launch of a retooled condition engine that automatically generates actionable underwriting conditions based on borrower source documents and loan guidelines.
Unlike traditional 'stare and compare' tools that flag generic issues, Friday Harbor's condition engine reads the full context of the loan file—including borrower documents, AUS findings and lender overlays—and outputs conditions that are immediately usable by loan officers, processors and borrowers. Each condition is written in plain English, color-coded by urgency and supported by documentation that gives underwriters a ready-made audit trail.
'In most mortgage workflows today, identifying conditions is a game of hot potato between departments. Friday Harbor solves that by delivering conditions in real time that are actionable at the beginning of the borrower journey, not just in the underwriting queue,' said Theo Ellis, co-founder and CEO of Friday Harbor. 'We're empowering originators to spot and solve issues earlier, which leads to cleaner files, faster closings and dramatically lower costs to originate.'
The new engine doesn't just catch obvious clerical gaps. It's also trained to spot nuanced issues such as:
For each flagged issue, Friday Harbor provides a proposed resolution path and direct links to applicable guidelines. For junior loan officers, the engine pairs with the platform's AI-powered Scenario Desk to explain next steps or script borrower communications. For underwriters, it offers full traceability, with source documents and reasoning behind every condition.
Friday Harbor's AI underwriter is already used by some of the nation's most forward-thinking lenders, including Partners Bank, NewFed Mortgage, Developer's Mortgage Company and Paramount Residential Mortgage Group. The company is backed by the AI2 Incubator, a technical incubator born from the Allen Institute for AI in Seattle, and was recently funded by leading Silicon Valley venture firms including Abstract Ventures, Mischief and Wischoff Ventures.

Aptiv forecasts better-than-expected 2025 profit despite auto tariffs hit
(Reuters) -Aptiv PLC forecast a bigger-than-expected annual adjusted profit on Thursday, banking on resilient demand for its auto parts despite pressure from U.S. tariffs and higher costs. U.S.-listed shares of the Dublin-based company rose nearly 3% in premarket trade. Strong demand from automakers for advanced driver-assistance features and infotainment systems has helped companies like Aptiv. But U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs have hit the import-heavy automotive industry. Global demand for electric vehicles has also slowed down, forcing Aptiv to cut costs last year. Aptiv, which sources components globally for its auto parts business, counts major automakers such as the Detroit Three, Volkswagen AG and BMW among its key clients. The supplier now expects annual adjusted earnings per share between $7.30 and $7.60, above analysts' estimates of $7.23, according to data compiled by LSEG. On an adjusted basis, Aptiv earned $2.12 per share in the quarter through June, compared with estimates of $1.84 per share. Overall quarterly net sales rose 3% to $5.2 billion from a year ago. Analysts on average expected net sales of $5.09 billion.

South Africa readying last-minute trade offer to avoid US tariff
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -South Africa is preparing a last-minute "enhanced" trade proposal at the urging of U.S. officials in hopes of avoiding a 30% tariff which kicks in on Friday, its trade minister said on Thursday. South Africa initially submitted a proposed trade deal to President Donald Trump's administration in May and revised it in June, but received no response. "We're having to navigate a last-minute proposal that's enhanced from the proposal that we had initially given," Trade Minister Parks Tau said on South Africa's 702 radio, adding: "And to tell the truth, it's wait and see." The countdown to the August 1 deadline has stirred fear and uncertainty in South Africa, where the central bank governor has estimated a 30% U.S. tariff would put 100,000 jobs at risk, with the agriculture and automotive sectors hit hardest. The U.S. is South Africa's second-largest bilateral trading partner after China. South Africa exports cars, some manufactured goods, citrus fruits and wine to the U.S. Tau said South Africans spoke to U.S. officials on Wednesday night, both at the level of Washington's embassy in Pretoria and also the U.S. trade representative, but uncertainty lingered on what would happen as the tariff deadline approached. "They (said) they would encourage us to resubmit our proposal, possibly an enhanced proposal, to the United States government," Tau said. A top South African diplomat said on Tuesday that U.S. demands on domestic affirmative-action policies were complicating efforts to secure a trade deal. Bilateral relations have been strained by South Africa's Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policies to address the legacy of centuries of racial inequality and its genocide case against Israel at the World Court, which Israel and the U.S. vehemently oppose.

Stock market today: Nasdaq, Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures jump as Big Tech earnings, trade deals lift spirits
S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures surged on Thursday, setting sights on fresh record highs after strong Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) earnings boosted faith in a payoff from Big Tech's massive AI investments. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) climbed roughly 1.4%, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) rose almost 1%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) lagged, up 0.3%. Meta shares shot up 12% in premarket, as investors welcomed its earnings beat and stronger-than-expected guidance even as it ramps up its AI spending spree. Microsoft stock jumped over 8% after its impressive results, on track to make the company the second in the world to reach a $4 trillion market valuation. Markets are now looking to after-hours results from their "Magnificent Seven" peers Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) for reasons to keep the rally going. On the macro front, investors will get another clue as to the possible direction of interest rates with the release of the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index. Stocks were mixed in during the day Wednesday after the Fed held interest rates steady for its fifth-straight meeting, with two Fed governors dissenting. Following the decision, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stressed "no decisions" had been made about a September rate cut, undercutting President Trump's claim he had heard a cut was coming at policymakers' next meeting.. Meanwhile a flurry of trade deals eased trade-war fears on the eve of President Trump's deadline on Friday. A pact with South Korea announced late Wednesday sets a 15% tariff rate on its imports. US exports will face zero duties in return, and Seoul has agreed to make $350 billion in US investment and pledged to buy US energy products, Trump wrote in a social media post.

Got to love the market ignoring the capex stuff in its earnings release below, and focusing in on Meta's revenue trends (strong). "We currently expect 2025 capital expenditures, including principal payments on finance leases, to be in the range of $66-72 billion, narrowed from our prior outlook of $64-72 billion and up approximately $30 billion year-over-year at the mid-point. While the infrastructure planning process remains highly dynamic, we currently expect another year of similarly significant capital expenditures dollar growth in 2026 as we continue aggressively pursuing opportunities to bring additional capacity online to meet the needs of our artificial intelligence efforts and business operations," Meta said. Bottom line: bull market ... carry on! Microsoft earnings call: A quick take A bit of a sleepy earnings call from Microsoft (MSFT) after the close, filled with the typical Satya Nadella tech jargon. Bottom line is this: Azure sales crushed, and there was zero signs of peaking AI demand. That should be good enough for the bulls.
