Nvidia–Groq Deal Explained: The $20B AI Inference Licensing Pact, Talent Grab, and the Antitrust “Hackquisition” Playbook

Nvidia has struck a sweeping deal with AI chip startup Groq that—depending on which headline you saw first—was either the chip giant’s biggest acquisition ever, or something much more unusual: a “non-exclusive” technology licensing agreement paired with a migration of Groq’s top leadership and engineering talent into Nvidia. That distinction isn’t just semantics. It’s the whole story. Groq says it has entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement for its AI inference technology with Nvidia, and that Groq founder Jonathan Ross and Groq President Sunny Madra, along with additional team members, will join Nvidia as part of the arrangement—while Groq continues

Apple Stock (AAPL) Update for Dec. 26, 2025: Shares Hover Near $273 After the Bell as China iPhone Data, Apple Watch Legal Win, and 2026 AI Forecasts Take Center Stage

NEW YORK — Friday, Dec. 26, 2025 (4:32 p.m. ET). U.S. stocks just wrapped up a thin, post‑Christmas trading session with major indexes ending only slightly lower and still sitting near record territory. Reuters For Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), the day’s story is a familiar late‑year mix: low liquidity, headline‑driven swings, and investors trying to handicap 2026 catalysts—especially AI features, China demand signals, and legal/regulatory risks. In late after‑hours trading, Apple shares were around $273.40, down about 0.16% from the prior close, with the stock still carrying a market cap of roughly $3.0 trillion and a trailing P/E near 30.

Portugal Tops The Economist’s 2025 Economy Ranking as France Lands 11th — and Why “Progress” Looks Different From Syria to Argentina

December 26, 2025 — In a year when inflation cooled across much of the world and central banks delivered their biggest easing push in more than a decade, economic “winners” depended on what, exactly, you measured: growth, price stability, jobs, market confidence—or societal change. Reuters That tension is at the heart of two closely watched year-end scorecards circulating across European and global media. One is The Economist’s annual ranking of the best-performing advanced economies—where Portugal takes the top spot for 2025 and France places a solid but unspectacular 11th. euronews+2La finance pour tous+2 The other is the magazine’s “country of

Silver’s surge to the mid-$70s has turned into one of the most dramatic commodity moves of 2025—and it’s not happening in isolation.

Silver Price Nears $78 as Gold and Platinum Hit Records: What’s Driving the 2025 Precious-Metals Melt-Up

Silver has pushed into territory that would have sounded far-fetched just a year ago. On Friday, December 26, spot silver surged through the $75-per-ounce threshold—an all-time high in nominal terms—before stretching higher in a powerful end-of-year rally that’s also lifted gold and platinum to fresh records. Reuters+1 While gold’s breakout has grabbed headlines for months, silver is increasingly becoming the market’s “tell”: a metal that behaves like a safe haven in risk-off moments, but also trades like a scarce industrial input when supply chains tighten.
