US forces used Palantir's Maven against 13,000 targets in the 38 days of Operation Epic Fury, per the Pentagon's AI chief, while hyperscalers called for about $730 billion of 2026 capital spending, per CNBC. Shayne Heffernan reads demand, chips, power, the Gulf escalation around the 3 November midterms, and the defence AI companies: Palantir, SpaceX and xAI, Anthropic, OpenAI, Alphabet, Anduril and Shield AI.

The Pentagon is pouring $13.4 billion into AI this year, and a new generation of tech-native defense companies — Palantir, Anduril, SpaceX — are capturing the lion's share of the fastest-growing military spending category in history.

Is the Iran War Back?
US Central Command struck Iran on June 26, nine days after a peace memorandum, after an alleged drone attack on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. What it means for gold, Bitcoin, the defense complex — Palantir, Lockheed, RTX — and why the return of QE matters more than the bombs.

SpaceX and the Space Economy
Space is no longer the domain of governments alone. Led by SpaceX and a growing ecosystem of launch providers, satellite operators, and lunar infrastructure companies, the space economy is rapidly becoming one of the world's most important growth industries and could represent the next great gold rush for investors.
