This hour was characterized by significant geopolitical shifts and regional instability, headlined by a magnitude 4.7 earthquake in Italy's Campi Flegrei region that injured dozens and disrupted power for 100,000 customers. Sovereignty issues remained at the forefront as the U.S. moved to step back from leading NATO's Ukraine aid group, while tensions flared in South America following twin car bombs in Cúcuta, Colombia, and fresh accusations of piracy surfaced regarding a freighter strike. In the markets, indicators of stabilization emerged as Bank of America reported that Nasdaq de-risking appears largely complete, even as Berkshire Hathaway shares climbed to an eight-month high. Concurrently, technology policy saw new developments, with the launch of Trump Media's paid data service and ongoing labor regulatory battles between Uber and Waymo in Washington, D.C.
