Prologis has made a third takeover proposal for SEGRO PLC (LSE:SGRO), valuing the FTSE 100 warehouse landlord at approximately £13.5 billion and introducing a partial cash alternative, only for the board to reject the approach once again.
Rebuffing the approach, the UK warehouse group told investors: "Should Prologis submit an improved proposal that more appropriately reflects the value of SEGRO's compelling prospects, SEGRO would continue to make themselves available to engage further with Prologis."
The US logistics property giant's third proposal, made on 16 July and rejected the following day, comprises 0.0890 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share, a 6% increase on its original terms.
It also includes a partial cash alternative of up to £2.7 billion, representing 20% of the total consideration, at a fixed price of 1,000p per SEGRO share, subject to pro-rata scale-back.
Assuming a shareholder elects for 20% cash, the proposal values each SEGRO share at 993p based on Friday's closing prices.
That represents a premium of 33.8% to SEGRO's undisturbed share price of 742p on 23 June, the day before the offer period began, and 9.7% above its pro forma adjusted net asset value of 905p.
The disclosure sets up a tense final act, with Prologis facing a deadline of 5 pm on Tuesday, 22 July, to either announce a firm intention to make an offer or walk away under the Takeover Code.
Prologis also made a second proposal on 10 July, which was rejected two days later, and confirmed it would explore a secondary listing of its shares in London if there is sufficient investor demand.
The company urged SEGRO shareholders to press their board to recommend a deal, and mounted a pointed attack on the defence case SEGRO set out earlier this month.
It said SEGRO's 8% discount rate understates the execution risk attached to speculative, long-dated and often un-zoned development projects, and pointed to the revocation of data centre entitlements in Paris as evidence of risk in its powered land bank.
Prologis also noted that SEGRO's reported net asset value fell 2.2% in the first half of 2026, and questioned why its defence valuation adds a "cluster" premium while the company plans to dispose of prime assets into a joint venture at NAV.
The bidder reminded shareholders that SEGRO rebuffed an all-share approach at 963p in March 2024, arguing they could be 36.5% better off today had that deal proceeded.
SEGRO has dismissed the pursuit as "inadequate, opportunistic and one-sided", with chairman Andy Harrison accusing Prologis of trying to acquire the company on the cheap while its share price was dislocated by the Middle East conflict.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the next evolution of its proprietary Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program (DCLP), expanding program capacity to $5 billion while broadening the integrated risk solutions that support digital infrastructure assets from development through long-term operations.
"Digital infrastructure has become one of the most important and capital-intensive asset classes in the global economy," said Joe Peiser, CEO of Risk Capital for Aon. "As clients build larger and more complex data center portfolios, they need access to greater insurance capacity alongside solutions that strengthen resilience throughout the asset lifecycle. Expanding DCLP to $5 billion demonstrates our ability to help clients access capital, manage risk and scale with confidence."
Reliable by Design Approach to Digital Infrastructure
The expanded program reflects Aon's Reliable by Design approach to digital infrastructure and extends DCLP beyond traditional insurance placement. By bringing together insurance capacity, engineering expertise and risk intelligence earlier in the development process, Aon helps clients reduce transition risk, improve resilience and build digital infrastructure assets that are bankable, insurable at scale and resilient under stress.

Up to $1 billion of terrorism capacity through existing Aon facilities. Expanded lifecycle risk, resilience and advisory capabilities through Aon Global Risk Consulting, including climate risk advisory, environmental risk solutions, Owners Protective Professional Indemnity, security risk consulting, risk engineering and operational resilience expertise, supporting clients across the full asset lifecycle. The expansion comes as investment in artificial intelligence, cloud computing and hyperscale data centers accelerates, increasing demand for insurance solutions capable for supporting larger, more complex and more capital intensive-projects through their lifecycle. The program builds on previous enhancements that increased DCLP capacity to $3.5 billion and expanded support for operational data centers.

Shared Platform Backed by The National Bank of Georgia Will Deliver Trusted Global Infrastructure to Support Growth of the Banking Sector July 20, 2026 03:00 ET | Source: Nasdaq, Inc.
TBILISI, Georgia and NEW YORK, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today announced a landmark partnership with the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) to modernize the treasury and financial markets infrastructure across Georgia's banking sector. Five of the country's largest commercial banks — Bank of Georgia, TBC Bank, Liberty Bank, Terabank and Basisbank — will adopt the Nasdaq Calypso platform under a shared, common infrastructure model spanning the full front-to-back trade lifecycle. The initiative, operating under the Georgian Market Advancement Program (GMAP) and coordinated in collaboration with the Georgian Financial Markets Treasuries' Association (GFMTA), represents a significant milestone in the development of Georgia's capital markets.
Natia Turnava, Governor of the National Bank of Georgia, said: “Modernising Georgia's treasury infrastructure is a strategic priority for the National Bank of Georgia and a critical step in the continued development of our financial system. By bringing the country's five largest commercial banks onto a common, internationally recognized platform, we are raising the standard of risk management, regulatory oversight, and operational resilience across the sector. This initiative reflects our commitment to building a financial market that is robust, transparent, aligned with international best practice, and equipped to support Georgia's continued economic growth.”
Why Georgia's Banks Need a New Treasury Infrastructure Model
Georgia's commercial banking sector has experienced double-digit growth over the past five years, with total assets approaching USD 38 billion - reflecting the depth and dynamism of the country's financial system. As the sector has grown, so too has demand for more sophisticated treasury infrastructure capable of supporting complex securities and derivatives markets, enterprise-grade risk management, and increasingly rigorous regulatory standards. At the same time, the investment required to deploy and maintain such infrastructure at the individual institutional level represents a significant undertaking for any single bank. A shared, coordinated approach - pooling resources and expertise across the sector - provides the most efficient path to achieving that ambition at scale.
Magnus Haglind, Head of Capital Markets Technology at Nasdaq, said: “Georgia presents a compelling example of how the shared infrastructure model can unlock real value for individual institutions and the financial system as a whole. By drawing on Nasdaq’s experience navigating modernization programs at scale, firms gain access to deep institutional knowledge and the ability to evolve without bearing the full cost, risk, or operational complexity of doing it alone. GMAP reflects exactly the kind of structured, country-level framework that enables this type of transformation to succeed. We welcome the opportunity to support the National Bank of Georgia in this initiative, and to help Georgia's banking sector build the infrastructure it needs for its next phase of growth.”
How Nasdaq Calypso Solves the Shared Infrastructure Challenge for Georgian Banks
The Nasdaq Calypso platform will be deployed as a shared infrastructure model, installed at a centralized location with each of the five participating banks represented as a separate entity within the same instance, with their data fully segregated. Each institution will benefit from a configuration adapted to its individual business requirements, risk profile, and operational context, while operating within a common framework that enables standardized reporting and workflows, shared market data, and collective governance, oversight, and audit capabilities.
The platform will span the complete trade lifecycle from front-office deal capture and pricing, through middle-office risk management and compliance, to back-office settlement, accounting, and financial reporting. This end-to-end architecture eliminates the need for multiple point solutions, reduces reconciliation overhead, and delivers a single source of truth for treasury operations across the sector.
Standardization also delivers systemic benefits beyond any single institution. With harmonized data and reporting across all five banks, the National Bank of Georgia gains materially enhanced visibility into treasury exposures, liquidity positions, and systemic risk, supporting more effective macroprudential supervision. Consistent audit trails and common reporting frameworks reduce the burden on both banks and regulators and provide a robust foundation for Georgia's continued integration with international financial standards, including ISO 20022, the global messaging standard for financial data exchange.
Lasha Jugeli, Executive Secretary of the Georgian Financial Markets Treasuries' Association, said: “The Georgian Market Advancement Program (GMAP) is the result of years of deliberate coordination across Georgia's banking sector, and it marks a pivotal moment for our Association and the institutions we represent. By aligning on a shared infrastructure backed by Nasdaq's global expertise and the National Bank of Georgia's institutional support, and project management funding provided by Japan through the Japan–EBRD Cooperation Fund, our member banks are not only modernising their own operations — they are collectively raising the standard for treasury management across the sector. We are proud to have played a central role in bringing this initiative to fruition, and we look forward to the tangible benefits it will deliver for our members and for Georgia's financial markets as a whole.”
The five participating banks collectively represent the majority of Georgia's commercial banking sector assets, and their adoption of a common, internationally recognised platform marks a defining step in Georgia's emergence as a modern, well-governed financial market.

Wolfspeed transitioned from post-bankruptcy turbulence to a period of relative calm, but recent months have brought renewed volatility. A bull case for a recently bankrupt firm with negative gross margins seems impossible — but there's a rational case for long-term upside. A growing role for silicon carbide in the AI buildout should drive a far larger market, and Wolfspeed's capacity has real value.
One of the wealthiest people in America is about to give away (almost) his entire fortune. Warren Buffett, legendary investor and longtime CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.34%)(BRKB 0.42%), announced on Tuesday that he will donate his entire $140 billion of Berkshire stock to charity.
Let's look at why Buffett's stock donations are a big deal, and whether they could affect Berkshire shareholders.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
How will Warren Buffett's stock donations work? In a news release on July 14, Buffett announced that he was converting 8,000 Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares into 12 million Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares. That's a ratio of about 1,500 Class B shares per Class A share.
Out of those 12 million Class B shares, he donated:
9 million shares to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation (named for his late wife) 1 million shares to the Sherwood Foundation (managed by his daughter, Susie) 1 million shares to the Howard G. Buffett Foundation (managed by his son, Howard) 1 million shares to the NoVo Foundation (managed by his son, Peter) Based on the July 13 closing prices of $496.85 per Berkshire Hathaway Class B share and $744,850 per Class A share, Buffett's donation of 12 million Class B shares was worth about $5.96 billion. Following those donations, Buffett still owns 1,162 Class B shares (worth about $577,340) and 188,290 Class A shares (worth about $140.25 billion).
In the news release, Buffett also announced, "My goal is to dispose of all of my Berkshire shares within about eight years" -- by Dec. 31, 2034.

Will Buffett's donations hurt Berkshire's stock price? Buffett deciding to donate his Berkshire shares should not be considered a bullish or bearish signal for the future of the company's stock price. He's not selling the shares; he's just transferring them to a new owner. Buffett's philanthropic donations are unlikely to cause any major changes in Berkshire's share price.
And even if Buffett were selling all 12 million of those Class B shares, that would amount to only about 0.85% of the company's 1.4 billion shares outstanding. That's not a big enough shift in volume to drive down the share price.
Berkshire Hathaway shareholders ought to be more concerned about the company's long-term underperformance compared to the S&P 500 index. In the past 10 years, the S&P 500 has delivered total returns of 314%, while Berkshire has delivered gains of about 235%.
BRK.B Total Return Level data by YCharts
Buffett is one of the most successful investors of all time, and his philanthropy is a generous capstone to his career. But it's not necessarily bad news for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. Instead of worrying about the effects of Buffett's $140 billion of stock donations, shareholders should hope that new CEO Greg Abel can deliver some stronger future gains.
Po téměř dvou měsících výprodejů se zdá, že se sentiment u kryptoměn začíná pomalu obracet. Americká ETF navázaná na spotovou cenu bitcoinu zaznamenala druhý týden v řadě čistý příliv kapitálu. Někteří analytici tak hlásí, že kryptoměny by mohly nacházet své cenové dno.
Třináct amerických spotových bitcoinových ETF přilákalo v uplynulém týdnu přibližně 75,7 milionu dolarů. Navázaly tak na předchozí týden, kdy do nich přiteklo zhruba 197,4 milionu dolarů. K obratu došlo navzdory výraznému odlivu ve výši 424,7 milionu dolarů během pondělí 13. července, který následoval po eskalaci vojenského napětí mezi Spojenými státy a Íránem.
Zvrat v kombinaci také s přílivem do ETF vázaných na Ether, druhou největší kryptoměnu, by mohl signalizovat pozitivní návrat sentimentu na trh, tvrdí Richard Galvin, výkonný předseda kryptoměnové investiční firmy DACM.„Myslím, že je to známka dosažení dna. Vzhledem k jejich velikosti a šíři se ETF staly dobrým ukazatelem obecného sentimentu vůči Bitcoinu a celému sektoru. Takže obrat po osmi týdnech v řadě, nyní potvrzený během dvou týdnů, je pozitivní,“ řekl agentuře Bloomberg.
Zlepšení ukazuje i technický obraz. Bitcoin se vrátil nad svůj 200týdenní klouzavý průměr, který se pohybuje kolem 63 300 dolarů a bývá vnímán jako významná hranice mezi dlouhodobě býčím a medvědím trhem. V posledních týdnech se přitom největší kryptoměna obchodovala převážně v pásmu mezi 60 000 a 65 000 dolary, když investoři vyhodnocovali nejisté makroekonomické prostředí.
Odolnost trhu se projevila i během dnešního obchodování v Asii. Bitcoin krátce vystoupal nad hranici 65 000 dolarů navzdory novým americkým úderům na cíle v Íránu. Geopolitické napětí však podle analytiků současně zvyšuje inflační rizika, přičemž obavy z dalšího vývoje úrokových sazeb mohou podle Damiena Loha, investičního ředitele společnosti Ericsenz Capital, stále brzdit plnohodnotný návrat institucionálních investorů.
Potenciálním impulzem pro další růst by naopak mohlo být schválení dlouho očekávaného zákona Clarity Act, který má upravit strukturu kryptoměnového trhu v USA. Pokud by legislativa prošla Kongresem ještě před srpnovou přestávkou, mohla by podle Loha podpořit další posilování bitcoinu.
Od začátku června bitcoin ztratil přibližně deset procent hodnoty. K tlaku na cenu přispěla také společnost Strategy, jež oznámila prodej části svých bitcoinových rezerv. Firma vedená Michaelem Saylorem byla dlouhodobě známá strategií nepřetržité akumulace kryptoměny a opakovaně deklarovala, že bitcoin prodávat nehodlá.
S poklesem ceny bitcoinu přibližně na polovinu říjnového maxima okolo 126 000 dolarů však začalo být pro společnost složitější plnit některé finanční závazky. Saylor v posledních týdnech připustil větší flexibilitu při nakládání s drženými tokeny a Strategy následně oznámila další prodej bitcoinů v hodnotě 216 milionů dolarů. Přitom předchozí zveřejněná transakce představovala činila pouze 2,5 milionu dolarů.
Upozornění pro investory:
Investování do virtuálních aktiv (např. Bitcoin) či investičních nástrojů navázaných na virtuální aktiva je spojeno s řadou rizik, na která upozorňuje např. EBA (European Banking Authority) v článku „Crypto-assets: ESAs remind consumers about risks“ ze dne 17.3.2021. Tato upozornění naleznete ZDE. Patria Finance a.s. obecně nedoporučuje investovat do nástrojů navázaných na virtuální aktiva z důvodu rizik, která jsou s nimi spojena.
Tento týden bude zveřejněn nižší počet makroekonomických dat. Pozornost trhu se zaměří zejména na čtvrteční rozhodnutí ECB o sazbách, kde se očekává, že centrální banka téměř jistě ponechá úrokové sazby bez změny. Kromě toho budou publikovány také například každotýdenní nové a pokračující žádosti o podporu v nezaměstnanosti či indexy nákupních manažerů napříč jednotlivými regiony.
Rozhodnutí ECB o sazbách v eurozóně ECB na svém zasedání ve dnech 22. a 23. července téměř jistě ponechá úrokové sazby bez změny. Červnové zpomalení inflace v eurozóně podle agentury Bloomberg totiž odstranilo jakoukoli potřebu okamžitého zásahu. Slabší trh práce i celkový útlum ekonomiky by měly brzdit druhotné dopady inflace a mírnit tak tlaky způsobené drahými energiemi.
Rostoucí ceny komodit však ECB pravděpodobně přimějí k dalšímu zvýšení sazeb v září, kdy proběhne poslední zvýšení v tomto cyklu zpřísňování. Ceny ropy se drží jen mírně pod úrovní z minulého zasedání ECB, zatímco zemní plyn podražil.

Index výrobních cen v červnu meziročně vzrostl o 1,8 %, což bylo v souladu s očekáváním.
Nové a pokračující žádosti o podporu v nezaměstnanosti v USA Nové žádosti o podporu v nezaměstnanosti v USA podle Bloombergu pravděpodobně zůstaly blízko úrovně z předchozího týdne, což zdůrazňuje, že propouštění zůstává omezené.

Irské nízkonákladové letecké společnosti Ryanair klesl v prvním finančním čtvrtletí zisk po zdanění meziročně o 34 procent na 538 milionů eur (zhruba 13 miliard Kč). Firma, která je největším leteckým dopravcem v Evropě, to oznámila v pondělní tiskové zprávě. Na hospodářské výsledky podniku měl negativní dopad konflikt na Blízkém východě, který vedl k růstu cen pohonných hmot a který narušil poptávku po letecké dopravě.
Zisk zaostal za očekáváním analytiků, kteří jej podle průzkumu agentury Bloomberg odhadovali zhruba na 624 milionů eur. Konflikt na Blízkém východě, který koncem února odstartovaly americko-izraelské útoky na Írán, vedl mimo jiné k ochromení lodní dopravy v Hormuzském průlivu. Tím běžně prochází zhruba pětina světových dodávek ropy.
"Konflikt na Blízkém východě znejistil spotřebitele, vyvolal obavy z nedostatku leteckého paliva v EU a ekonomickou nejistotu a způsobil odklad rezervací," uvedl šéf Ryanairu Michael O'Leary.
Tržby společnosti se v prvním finančním čtvrtletí, které skončilo 30. června, meziročně zvýšily o procento na 4,38 miliardy eur. Jejich růst výrazně zaostal za růstem provozních nákladů, které se zvýšily o 11 procent na 3,81 miliardy eur.
Ryanair je první velkou leteckou společností v Evropě, která zveřejnila hospodářské výsledky za období od dubna do června. Investoři si tak nyní mohou učinit lepší představu o dopadech války s Íránem na odvětví letecké dopravy v Evropě.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) ("Akeso" or the "Company") today announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase II clinical study (AK146D1-201) evaluating its internally developed TROP2/Nectin-4 bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), AK146D1, in combination with ivonescimab (the Company's PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will explore the therapeutic potential of this combination, with a particular emphasis on the first-line treatment setting.
The advancement of ADC 2.0 candidates AK146D1 and AK138D1 into Phase II trials marks a critical milestone for Akeso's "IO2.0 + ADC2.0" strategy. Built upon our proprietary bispecific and multispecific antibody technology alongside our innovative IO2.0 portfolio, this progress underscores our commitment to elevating the standard of care for major global diseases like lung cancer. Furthermore, it reinforces our cancer therapy matrix, positioning Akeso with distinct, cross-generational competitive advantages in the global market.
In the immuno-oncology (IO) arena, Akeso stands as the only company globally with two approved bispecific antibodies for cancer immunotherapy. The Company is actively evaluating ivonescimab and cadonilimab in combination with its pipeline of proprietary next-generation ADC2.0 agents. Increasingly, global partners recognize both ivonescimab and cadonilimab as preferred agents for combination regimens and breakthrough therapy explorations across a wide spectrum of tumor types.
Within the ADC landscape, Akeso has established a pipeline of breakthrough next-generation candidates, with AK146D1, AK138D1, AK157D1, and AK158D1 (a bispecific ADC) already in clinical development. These novel agents are designed to overcome the narrow therapeutic window and safety limitations frequently observed in conventional ADCs, effectively ushering ADC therapy into a new 2.0 era.
Ivonescimab, a first-in-class PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, has demonstrated clinically transformative benefits compared to PD-1 inhibitor-based therapies across multiple Phase III studies, supported by a robust body of clinical evidence. AK146D1 is an ADC2.0 agent that exhibits potent antitumor activity and a favorable safety profile. The combination of AK146D1 and ivonescimab holds the potential to significantly enhance clinical efficacy, reduce treatment-related toxicity, and broaden the range of eligible patients. By addressing the multifaceted clinical limitations of conventional immunotherapy and current ADC therapies, this regimen aims to emerge as a next-generation solution that offers superior efficacy and safety for patients with cancer.

Friedrich Merz zve investory do Berlína. Na 19. a 20. října chystá jeho vláda první „Invest in Germany Summit" — akci po vzoru francouzského “Choose France”, kterou Paříž pořádá už od roku 2018. A na pozvánce slibuje investorům, že vysvětlí, jak Německo samo sebe zreformuje . To vše přichází ve chvíli, kdy se německý průmysl už osmým rokem marně snaží zvrátit svůj sestup. Ten zasáhl páteřní odvětví v čele s automotive, strojírenstvím a chemií — loni sjelo z německých linek 4,15 milionu osobních aut proti 5,6 milionu v roce 2017. A nejhorší může být teprve před námi: koncern Volkswagen podle červnových zpráv chystá rozšíření škrtů až na 100 tisíc pracovních míst. Je tedy dobře, že kancléř bere konkurenceschopnost vážně. Bude však stačit uspořádat summit?
Německo potřebuje na prvním místě reformy, které sníží administrativní zátěž, rozhýbou pracovní trh a zjednoduší firmám přístup ke kapitálu. Vládní web summitu má sekci „Probíhající reformy" a vypočítává v ní zrušený poplatek za skladování plynu, nižší síťové poplatky, sníženou daň z elektřiny a rychlejší povolovací procesy. O pracovním trhu a kapitálovém trhu ani slovo. Přitom právě málo pružný pracovní trh může za to, že se zaměstnanci nedokážou přesouvat z méně produktivních činností do perspektivnějších — výsledkem je stagnace produktivity a nakonec potřeba mamutích koncernů včetně VW masivně propouštět. Nerozvinutý kapitálový trh je zase hlavní brzdou přerodu německých patentů ve skutečný byznys. Výsledky kvalitního německého výzkumu tak často končí za hranicemi, kde se financování shání snáz. I proto se německý průmysl propadá z globální technologické špičky v řadě oborů do „prostředku pelotonu".
Vláda si troufla i na pověstnou německou byrokracii. Zřídila ministerstvo pro modernizaci státu a od loňského listopadu už dvakrát zasedal „odlehčovací kabinet", naposledy 15. července. Pokroky jsou však zatím velmi pomalé. Odhady ročních byrokratických nákladů německých zůstávají vysoké a právo veta při rušení byrokracie zůstává na straně spolkových zemí. Právě komplikované povolovací řízení na úrovni šestnácti zemí a obcí přitom podle Financial Times vedou k tomu, že investice častokrát skončí jinde. Někdy i ve Francii.
A stejně pomalé jsou pokroky na německém kapitálovém trhu. Vládní komise v červnu doporučila zavést podle švédského vzoru povinnou kapitálovou složku důchodů, která by německý kapitálový trh nastartovat mohla. Zatím jde však pouze o doporučení, nikoliv o zákon.
A i kdyby se reformy skutečně rozjely, nelze přehlédnout druhou část “německého problému”. Tím je “neférová” čínská průmyslová politika, která v čím dál větší míře zaplavuje globální trhy subvencovaným zbožím . Je přímým důsledkem toho, že Čína nedokáže rozhýbat vlastní domácí poptávku — domácnostem připadá neobvykle malá část národního důchodu, bohatství je extrémně koncentrované, sociální sítě jsou slabé a lidé proto ve velkém spoří. Peking je tak odsouzen pro zachování zaměstnanosti a “sociálního smíru” tlačit na export ve strategických odvětvích za “každou cenu”.
Na obchod s Čínou proto mění pohled i největší zastánci volného obchodu. Paul Krugman, který cla sice obecně dál odmítá, v posledních rozhovorech mluvil o nutnosti chránit v Evropě automotive všemi prostředky. Evropa však mezitím staví obranný val pomalu. O rozšíření obchodní zbrojního arzenálu si evropští lídři řekli Komisi teprve letos v červnu. Pokud tento val zůstane děravý, může mít Německo i při sebelepší snaze o strukturální restart nakonec smůlu. A investoři pak přijedou v říjnu do Berlína spíš ze zdvořilosti.
TRHY
Koruna
Česká koruna se drží v letním obchodování v blízkosti 24,20 EUR/CZK. Na jedné straně se jí sice nemusí líbit vyšší ceny ropy atakující 90 USD/barel, na druhé ji však uklidňuje relativní stabilita eurodolaru. V tomto týdnu je domácí kalendář událostí prázdný a korunu bude dál zajímat především vývoj na Blízkém východě a výsledek zasedání ECB.
Eurodolar
Opětovná eskalace konfliktu mezi Íránem a USA sice vrátila cenu ropy nad 90 USD za barel, na eurodolaru se to prozatím nijak zásadně neprojevilo. Stejně se tak eurodolar nedostal pod tlak z titulu dalších jestřábích komentářů přicházejících z Fedu.
Jeden z důvodu proč eurodolar nereaguje medvědím způsobem může být blížící se zasedání ECB. To je naplánováno na čtvrtek a platí, že opětovný růst cen ropy vrací do hry scénář ještě jednoho zvýšení sazeb (nikoliv však na tomto zasedání).

Západoevropské burzy zahájí nový týden mírným poklesem v důsledku přetrvávajícího napětí na Blízkém východě
Zámořské akciové trhy zakončily minulý týden v záporném teritoriu, přičemž největší ztráty zaznamenal technologický index Nasdaq. Investory znervóznila eskalace konfliktu na Blízkém východě, která vedla k růstu cen energetických komodit. Cena ropy se aktuálně pohybuje na nejvyšších úrovních za poslední měsíc a jediným ziskovým sektorem v rámci indexu S&P 500 tak byly energetické společnosti. V úvodu nového týdne se asijské akciové trhy vyvíjejí smíšeně. Výrazně oslabují například jihokorejské akcie, které jsou pod tlakem kvůli obavám z vysokých valuací společností spojených s umělou inteligencí. Naopak čínské akcie posilují díky optimismu ohledně rozvoje domácích technologií v oblasti umělé inteligence. Futures na americké akciové indexy se po pátečních výprodejích stabilizovaly a pohybují se pouze nepatrně v záporném teritoriu. Západoevropské burzy by podle indikací futures měly zahájit nový týden poklesem, ten by však neměl přesáhnout 0,5 %. Pražská burza by mohla otevřít bez výraznějších změn poblíž pátečních závěrečných hodnot.
Alibaba Group previewed its new artificial-intelligence model in the latest sign that China is fast closing the gap with the U.S. for global technological dominance.
Google is escalating its campaign to break Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD) grip on artificial intelligence chips, deploying creative dealmaking to push its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) into the wider market.
The strategy, detailed in exclusive reporting by The Information's Amir Efrati, targets the "neo-clouds": specialised GPU cloud providers, many of which began life as cryptocurrency miners.
Hundreds of these firms exist, but only about half a dozen matter, and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)-owned Google has been in talks with them about adding TPUs to their offerings.
The pitch is diversification, freeing these providers from total dependence on Nvidia, alongside a technical argument that TPU designs have remained stable while Nvidia's architecture changes radically with each generation.
Those frequent shifts create genuine installation headaches for the data centre operators tasked with deploying them.
Financial firepower
The competition is increasingly being fought with balance sheets rather than benchmarks.
Nvidia has long used its financial muscle to support its largest customers, and Google is now considering matching that approach by offering backstop deals to lenders.
Under these arrangements, Google would guarantee payments if businesses that borrow to buy TPUs cannot find renters or buyers for the chips.
Google holds a structural advantage here: unused TPUs can simply be absorbed into its own cloud operations, whereas Nvidia lacks a cloud business of comparable scale to soak up stranded hardware.
A joint venture with Blackstone to build a TPU-based cloud provider extends the same logic.
The friction is already visible, with reports suggesting Nvidia became aware of Google's discussions with neo-cloud provider Nscale and may have offered additional incentives to discourage TPU adoption, though Nscale has said on the record that this is not its position.
Jensen Huang is said to monitor Google's chip programme closely and regards the company as a significant competitive threat.
An awkward embrace
The rivalry is complicated by mutual dependence.
Google remains one of Nvidia's largest customers, buying GPUs at scale for a cloud business that serves external clients, and it currently needs Nvidia's supply as much as Nvidia needs its custom.
Meanwhile, the external TPU business is gaining real traction, with Anthropic, Apple and Meta among the clients, and Meta emerging as a significant customer.
The next constraint is manufacturing, since TSMC is the bottleneck through which all chip ambitions must pass, and Google secures its capacity via Broadcom as intermediary.
Allocations for 2027 production are being determined now, and the capacity Google wins will indicate how seriously TSMC takes the TPU business against competing demands from Nvidia and others.
The stakes extend beyond chips: with gigawatt data centres costing $50 billion to $60 billion and rising, the companies able to guarantee that spending will shape the infrastructure of the entire AI economy.
Námi sledované indexy v asijsko-pacifickém regionu se obchodují smíšeně. Zatímco japonské trhy zůstaly dnes kvůli svátku zavřené, jihokorejský index Kospi se po pátku (kdy se kvůli státnímu svátku neobchodovalo) propadl až o 5,1 %. Hlavní tíhu tohoto poklesu nesli výrobci paměťových čipů, především Samsung Electronics (-4,1 %) a SK hynix (-3,9 %).
Naopak hongkongské akcie dokázaly po propadu z minulého týdne zamířit vzhůru. Trh pozitivně reagoval na oznámení dvou hlavních státních fondů o nových nákupech a také na blížící se schůzky regulátorů s klíčovými účastníky trhu. Tento růst je navíc podpořen silnými zprávami z oblasti umělé inteligence. Pozornost poutá zejména společnost Moonshot AI, stojící za modelem Kimi K3, která investorům sdělila, že chystá vstup na burzu již za šest měsíců. Její nejnovější model totiž zcela převrátil dosavadní vnímání čínských schopností v oblasti AI. Z tohoto technologického optimismu těží i akcie společnosti Alibaba (+3,9 %). Ta posiluje po vydání zkušební verze svého vlajkového modelu Qwen3.8 Max, který společnost sebevědomě označila za druhý nejlepší na trhu, hned po modelu Fable 5 od americké firmy Anthropic.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR 1.40%) is a stock that has greatly divided investors over the years. The biggest reason for this is its valuation, as the stock trades at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of around 41 times 2026 analyst estimates and a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of nearly 90 times. Despite those high valuation metrics, though, the stock looks like it could be a top stock to own for the long term.
Top growth stocks rarely trade cheaply, and Palantir has proven to have one of the best growth stories for a large-cap stock not involved in the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom. The company has seen its revenue growth accelerate for 11 consecutive quarters, with growth of 85% in the first quarter. Meanwhile, its growth is being led by a combination of new customer additions and rapid expansion from existing customers.

A unique offering with a long runway of growth What makes Palantir special is its unique solution, which is becoming an integral part of the AI ecosystem. Instead of trying to build the next great AI model, Palantir turned to its roots in data gathering and analytics to develop an application layer that makes AI more useful for enterprises in the real world.
Its solution gathers information from a variety of disparate sources and then organizes it into an ontology, where it links data to physical assets and real-world processes. This gives AI models a single source of truth grounded in real objects and tasks, greatly reducing AI hallucinations and helping organizations apply AI to solve the actual problems they face.
Being AI-model agnostic is a big plus, as it doesn't tie its customers to one company's models. This gives its customers flexibility that reduces risks and allows it to sell its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) solution across a wide array of industries. The use cases for its solution are enormous, as is its growth runway.

Palantir's solution has been a hit with its customers, and its net revenue retention (NRR), which measures revenue growth from existing customers who have been with the company for a year or longer, is a testament to how important its solution becomes once it gets a foothold in an organization. Over the past 12 months, Palantir's NRR is a whopping 150%, which essentially means customers who have been with Palantir for a year or more are increasing their spending with the company at a 50% annual clip.
That's remarkable. At the same time, Palantir's AI bootcamps, where it helps potential clients solve an actual issue they are facing within seven days, have become a strong selling point that greatly speeds up sales cycles.
While the stock is not cheap, this all provides the foundation for Palantir potentially becoming one of the largest companies in the world over the next decade, making it a top AI stock to own.
Micron Technology (MU) is rated Buy, with upside driven by expanding HBM demand beyond Nvidia, particularly from hyperscaler custom AI accelerators. MU targets maintaining a ~22% HBM market share, matching its DRAM share, as custom ASICs become a larger HBM demand source. Micron's HBM4 is in volume production, with qualification samples sent to multiple customers, but a named non-Nvidia win remains a key inflection point.
Wendell Huang, CFO of TSMC says the company's additional $100 billion investment in the U.S. is beneficial to the U.S. as it further fosters the development of U.S. semiconductor ecosystem, strengthens the supply chain, and helps create more high-tech, high-paid jobs in the country.

Initial production could start within 36 months, the company said, adding that it plans to develop and manufacture the weapon with U.S. and European industry partners.
"American and allied warfighters need a solution that is battle-tested and budget-smart," Tim Cahill, president of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, said in a statement at Britain's Farnborough Airshow.
The location of the announcement underscores efforts by U.S. defense companies to tap a European rearmament boom fueled by Russia's war in Ukraine, even as European governments seek to reduce dependence on American suppliers and expand local defense manufacturing.
The Patriot system has become one of the world's most sought-after air-defense weapons since Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Kyiv credits Patriot batteries with helping defend cities against Russian ballistic missile attacks, while President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has repeatedly appealed for more launchers and interceptors as Moscow intensifies air strikes.
Demand has also been driven by missile exchanges between Iran, the United States and Israel and wider instability in the Gulf, stretching supplies of advanced air-defense weapons and exposing production bottlenecks throughout the Western defense industry.
The launch of a cheaper interceptor by Lockheed underscores how established defense contractors are responding to mounting competition from Silicon Valley-backed startups that promise to deliver weapons faster, in greater numbers and at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.
