Good evening and welcome to Markets Desk.
Wall Street closed under pressure Tuesday as a report from the Wall Street Journal revealed OpenAI's revenue and new user growth are falling short of the company's own internal targets. That hit sentiment across the broader tech sector, and with OPEC delivering a supply-side shock, Asia markets are set to open on a mixed note heading into Wednesday's session.
Staying with OpenAI, the Musk versus Altman trial got underway in San Francisco Tuesday, with Elon Musk taking the stand as the first witness. Musk argued he has held serious, long-standing concerns about artificial intelligence safety, citing conversations with Larry Page and Barack Obama as evidence. He compared AI to a child requiring someone to instill the right values — framing his dispute with Altman as a matter of mission, not rivalry.
On the commodity side, cotton futures found late-session footing Tuesday, with front-month contracts finishing up one to fourteen points. The move came alongside a firmer dollar, back above ninety-eight, and crude oil pushing nearly one hundred dollars a barrel. NASS crop progress data showing sixteen percent of the domestic cotton crop in the ground gave bulls enough fundamental cover to step back in.
That's the tape.
