Eric Trump, VP of Trump Organization, touts new venture as based in USA
Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said in an interview on Fox Business on June 16 that Trump Mobile is "going to revolutionize cell phones, mobile calling." He also said the company will operate fully in the United States.
"You're not calling up call centers in Bangladesh − do it right out of St. Louis, Missouri, and you're going to have phones that are made right here in the United States of America," he said.
The second eldest Trump son touted the Trump Organization's foray into the tech industry with both social media platform Truth Social and World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture.
"I really believe we're gonna have one of the great kind of tech platforms as part of the Trump Organization of any company in the world," he said.

Stock Futures Flat as S&P 500 (SPX) Eyes All-Time High
U.S. stock futures held steady Wednesday night, with the S&P 500 (SPX) staying close to its record high. Futures on the Nasdaq 100 (NDX), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the S&P 500 (SPX) were up 0.05%, 0.01%, and 0.01%, respectively, at 8:39 p.m. EST, June 25. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter On Wednesday, the S&P 500 ended with a gain of less than 0.01%, the Nasdaq 100 edged up 0.21%, while the Dow Jones slipped about 0.3%. Despite the mixed session, all three indexes remain on track for a positive week, with the S&P 500 still less than 1% below its February peak. Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East have eased as Israel and Iran agreed to a truce. However, Trump cautioned that fighting could resume 'soon,' even though he believes that scenario is unlikely.

CNBC Daily Open: Funny how the S&P 500 is teasing a new high amid uncertainties
Have we gone back in time? It certainly seems on the markets front. Just look at the S&P 500 and you will think that it's back in February — before U.S. President Donald Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs, before the White House's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," and before the war between Israel and Iran. On February 19, the broad-based index closed at an all-time high of 6,144.15. Yesterday, it ended the trading session at 6,092.16. That's a difference of less than 1%. A light breeze (or rogue social media post from the sitting U.S. president) could push the S&P 500 beyond that level. In another sign investors seemed to be back to the days before trade and geopolitical uncertainty, Nvidia's again in the headlines after it surged 4.3% to close at a new high, a symbol of the optimism surrounding artificial intelligence that drove much of 2024's market gains. What's strange is that the market appears to have shrugged off heavy loads that have been weighing it down since March. Tariff worries still persist. Trump on Wednesday threatened Spain that he would "make them pay twice as much" in a trade deal because the European country is resisting an increase in spending on defense. The war between Israel and Iran, though currently paused thanks to a ceasefire, is not conclusively over. And that truce appears fragile — it was almost broken just hours after it kicked in. Who knows how the planned U.S. talks with Iran next week will go. (As long as it doesn't descend into the shouting match in the Oval Office when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was there, I'd consider it a success.) Nostalgia is alluring. But that allure can be dangerous. The S&P 500 is at the cusp of a new high. The index, however, ended Wednesday little changed. Tech stocks rose, with many hitting intraday highs. But Asia-Pacific markets mostly fell Thursday, with Japan's Nikkei 225 one of the few indexes in the green. Trump threatened Spain with a tough trade deal. The U.S. president made those comments at NATO's annual summit after the alliance's allies — barring Spain — agreed to meet a defense spending target of 5% of gross domestic product by 2035. Nvidia's the most valuable company again. Shares jumped 4.3% on Wednesday and closed at a record — the first time it's done so since January. Asian chip stocks chased Nvidia's highs on Thursday. China urges development bank to support Belt and Road. Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Thursday urged the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, a Beijing-backed development bank, to increase its support for the Beijing-launched regional development program. [PRO] Investors are holding their breath. The U.S. market seems surprisingly resilient to trade friction and geopolitical instability. In fact, the S&P 500 seems on track to close at a fresh record. But risks that could knock it off course remain. Japan rice crisis shows signs of easing as stock return to shelves After months of soaring rice prices, Japanese consumers may be finally getting some relief. Data from Japan's agriculture ministry showed that the average price of a 5-kg bag of rice had fallen to 3,920 yen ($27.03) for the week ending June 15. It's the first time that the price dropped below the 4,000-yen mark since the week that ended on March 2. That's partly thanks to the government releasing its rice reserves. But many consumers are concerned that the stockpiled rice is old and not as tasty, according to a professor of Japanese business.

Intel Capital-Backed AI Firm Reconova Is Said to Plan HK IPO
(Bloomberg) -- Reconova Technologies Co., a Chinese artificial intelligence company specializing in visual perception, is planning a Hong Kong initial public offering as soon as this year, according to people familiar with the matter. Bezos Wedding Draws Protests, Soul-Searching Over Tourism in Venice US Renters Face Storm of Rising Costs US State Budget Wounds Intensify From Trump, DOGE Policy Shifts Commuters Are Caught in Johannesburg's Taxi Feuds as Transit Lags Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown The Intel Capital Corp.-backed firm is working with advisers on a share sale that could raise about $100 million, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn't public. Deliberations are ongoing and details such as size and timing may change, the people added. A representative for Reconova didn't respond to requests seeking comment. The Xiamen-based company, which also counts Greenland Holdings Corp. and Citic Securities Co. as backers, is one of several Chinese AI startups looking to go public in Hong Kong to tap investor interest in the rapidly growing sector. The emergence of DeepSeek prompted a revaluation of China's progress in AI technology, despite concerted efforts by the US to curb the country's push in the sector. Beijing is prioritizing the development of a domestic technology industry in its race with the US to become the global leader in AI. Founded in 2012, Reconova develops vision technologies such as facial recognition that can be used in airports, stores, industrial complexes and commercial vehicles, its website shows.
