Welcome to Markets Desk, here's what's moving the conversation this afternoon.
Google is facing internal dissent after signing an amendment to an existing Pentagon contract allowing its AI models to be used for classified government work. A DeepMind employee publicly called themselves ashamed of the decision, a rare and pointed breach of corporate loyalty that puts fresh pressure on Sundar Pichai as the company navigates its defense ambitions.
Shifting to markets, Lululemon shareholders are being told patience is not just a virtue here, it's a requirement. The athletic apparel brand has shed roughly half its market value over the past year, and analysts now suggest a meaningful turnaround may not materialize until two thousand twenty seven, citing product cycle timing and softening consumer discretionary spending.
And from the interview circuit, former Fed Chair and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is reflecting on her legacy as she earns induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame. She's also weighing in on the current tension between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve, and the tightrope facing potential Fed Chair successor Kevin Warsh as central bank independence comes under renewed political scrutiny.
That's the tape.
