Welcome to Markets Desk, here's what's moving the needle this hour.
A federal jury in Oakland has ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI, finding unanimously that Musk waited too long to bring his claims — missing the statute of limitations entirely. After three weeks of trial, the verdict is a clean sweep for Altman and OpenAI at a pivotal moment in the company's transition to a for-profit structure.
Shifting to India, the Justice Department has dropped its fraud charges against billionaire Gautam Adani, saying prosecutors would not devote further resources to the case. That's a significant reversal for the Adani Group, whose stocks were battered when the charges first surfaced late last year, and markets will be watching for any recovery momentum across the conglomerate's listed entities.
And on the AI trade, the investment story is broadening well beyond graphics chips. As inference demand builds — meaning companies are now running models, not just training them — the opportunity is expanding into CPUs, servers, data centers, and power infrastructure. That's a meaningful rotation worth watching ahead of Nvidia's earnings later this week.
That's the tape.
