US stocks diverged on Thursday amid fresh doubts about President Trump's ability to end the war with Iran and a potential shake-up to the booming AI trade.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose over 1.7%, or more than 900 points. The benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) added 0.3%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) pared losses to around 0.2%.
Broadcom (AVGO) shares sank more than 14% after its AI chip forecast disappointed, raising questions about the strength of the broadly booming AI trade.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday evening, following the most serious escalation between the US and Iran since the April ceasefire took effect, the House of Representatives voted to end the war in a rebuke to Trump. Earlier in the day, stocks retreated from records, and oil rose as hopes for a quick Iran deal faded.
Elsewhere, ****** eX confirmed in a new filing that it plans to secure a record-breaking $75 billion in its IPO on June 12. Relaxed rules that could fast-track ****** eX's inclusion in index funds mean that 401(k) investors could wind up invested in the company without buying a single share.

As the summer arrives, parents start to look for cost-effective ways to keep their kids entertained. Seattle Reign FC is offering an easy solution: Bring your kids to a game for free.
On Thursday, the team launched a unique initiative, “Kids 12 & Under Free,” which allows families to bring their kids to the rest of the Reign’s home games at no additional cost. Through the promotion, families can get up to five complimentary tickets for children who are 12 or younger with the purchase of an adult ticket.
In an exclusive interview with Yahoo Sports, Reign Chief Business Officer Maya Mendoza-Exstrom said that the promotion was part of a deliberate effort to invite more families to be fans.
“One of the core opportunities we saw in our market, and just even more broadly in women's sports, were families — the opportunity to bring young people and families into our experiences in a greater number,” Mendoza-Exstrom said.
Fans can take advantage of the promotion for six of the team’s final nine matches of the year, beginning with the Reign’s return to the field against rival Portland Thorns on July 12, after the World Cup break.

We've hit June and the small-sample alarm is no longer sounding — we've played about 38% of the season. Fast starts have more meaning now; they could mean strong seasons. Many players we drafted late or added off the fantasy baseball waiver wire have earned solidified roles on our rosters.
Today's ***** ignment was to locate some surprising hitters and try to determine just how real their fast starts are. Settle in and let's see what we can figure out.
It's important to remember that Vargas was once a rated prospect. He was on everyone's clipboard in 2022 and made the Futures Game. His highest prospect rank came in 2023, when Baseball America listed him at No. 30. Player development is not always linear.
The White Sox are getting a lovely breakout from Vargas this year. His bat speed has improved, his hard-hit metrics are good, his plate-discipline stats are very good. Swinging at strikes and spitting on ***** is the quickest path to success in this game. He's also learned the craft of stealing bases, now 15-for-15 over the past two seasons. And heck, he hasn't even been lucky — his .242 average and .502 slugging lag behind his .262 expected average and .535 expected slugging. Vargas is set up to be one of the strongest right answers of 2026 fantasy baseball.
Marsh has been a plus-offensive player for most of his career, in his fifth straight season with a favorable OPS+. But the timing has been right for a career year at age 28, as he's hit new highs for all the slash categories (.335/.365/.482). We like seeing his strikeout rate moving down, but it's also telling that his walk rate has fallen significantly, too. A dip in walks isn't always a bad thing — sometimes it's a matter of not letting so many hittable strikes pass the zone.

On May 26, Itron Inc. (NASDAQ:ITRI) announced the expansion of its strategic collaboration with Hunter Water.

Netherlands are ranked only eighth favourites to win the 2026 World Cup, below Spain, France, Argentina, Brazil, England, Portugal and Germany. Depending where you draw the line, they are either the worst of the realistic contenders or the best of the rest.
Yet there is plenty of evidence to suggest that is a pessimistic view of one of the best squads in North America this summer. Netherlands have one of Europe’s form strikers in Donyell Malen, who scored 14 goals in 18 Serie A games since joining Roma in January, much to the surprise of Aston Villa fans. They have Frenkie de Jong, Ryan Gravenberch and Tijjani Reijnders in midfield. And the defence is like something from a Premier League fantasy team.
Virgil van Dijk, Micky van de Ven, Nathan Ake and Jurrien Timber are an elite quartet, and that is before you get to the power of right-back Denzel Dumfries – about to join Real Madrid from Inter as Jose Mourinho’s first marquee signing since returning to the Bernabeu. Chelsea’s Jorrel Hato and Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke add strength in depth.
Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen is developing into a hugely talented player in his own right, but he feels more secure knowing who will be standing in front of him when the Netherlands begin their World Cup campaign, against ***** an on 14 June.
“It makes my life a bit easier, that’s for sure,” Verbruggen says. “As a competitor, you always want to play against the best players but you also want to beat them, and in order to beat them you need the best players on your side as well. And I’ve got the big privilege to be able to play with a defensive line that I think is up there with the best in the world.”

The Detroit Lions have added another receiver to their offseason roster.
On Wednesday, the team announced that it has signed wide receiver Kyre Duplessis, adding another young playmaker to compete for a spot during training camp.
The move comes shortly after the Lions learned that rookie fifth-round pick Kendrick Law will miss the 2026 season after suffering a torn ACL.
Duplessis enters the NFL after a productive career with the Delaware Blue Hens.
During the 2025 season, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound receiver hauled in 60 receptions for 824 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 13.7 yards per catch.

A Michigan couple has closed what Coinbase (NASDAQ: $COIN) and Better described as the first Fannie Mae-backed home loan using Bitcoin as collateral, turning a crypto-mortgage product announced earlier this year into a completed transaction.
The transaction gives Coinbase a new real-world use case for digital ***** ets at a moment when crypto firms are trying to push beyond trading and payments. Working with Better, the exchange said borrowers can pledge Bitcoin against a down payment instead of selling the ***** et, preserving exposure while avoiding an immediate taxable sale.
The product, first announced in March, is expected to become available to qualified borrowers nationwide this summer. It initially supports Bitcoin and Circle’s USDC (CRYPTO: $USDC), with Better originating and servicing the mortgage and Coinbase providing the crypto account infrastructure.

Having come on strong in this year’s French Open, Diana Shnaider’s explosive left-handed forehand and double-handed backhand aren’t her only signatures.
The Russian-born player, who is recognizable for her colorful headscarves, is squaring off against Maja Chwalińska of Poland Thursday. Shnaider opted for a repeat look, wearing the same orange headscarf and black Yonex tennis dress that she wore Wednesday to defeat the WTA’s top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. As for her French Open strategy, Shnaider told reporters earlier this week that she was “trying to go match by match.”
The Yonex-sponsored athlete was unmissable in an orange ribbed headscarf that accented the orange and turquoise trim on her black tennis dress with a leathery-looking pleated skirt. It also coordinates with the red clay courts at Roland-Garros.
Born in Zhigulevsk, Russia, Shnaider started playing tennis at the age of 4 and was training under coach Samvel Minasyan in Moscow by the age of 8. After a stint at North Carolina State University in 2022, she competed in her first Grand Slam tournament the following year at the Australian Open. Repped by Topnotch Management, the former Adidas-sponsored athlete has an endorsement deal with the sports media content company First & Red. Her career earnings to date are $5.17 million including $952,112 in prize earnings. This year women’s single winner at the French Open will take home 2,800,000 euros, or $3.25 million.
Her signature headscarf was something that she started wearing years ago to shield the sun. Shnaider’s parents were concerned that the fair-haired daughter would get sunburned on the courts, but caps and visors reportedly obstructed her view. So Shnaider opted for a headscarf that they bought in a supermarket. By 2023, Shnaider was outsourcing the design of her favorite accessory, by buying the material for a seamstress to design. However, for Wednesday’s upset victory, she appeared to wear a ribbed one with the Yonex logo on it. A Yonex representative deferred an interview request to Topnotch Management, which did not respond to requests for comment.
The American men’s singles player Frances Tiafoe copied the look last year by sporting a blue headscarf with white polka dots at last year’s Cincinnati Open. He gave her credit for the choice via Instagram inspiration on Instagram with “New look?? Appreciate u _di_shnaider_ .”

For the fifth year in a row, the Atlanta Falcons could enter the season with a new starting quarterback. The team is having an open competition between Michael Penix Jr. and veteran Tua Tagovailoa for the QB1 job.
Tagovailoa seems to have the early advantage being the healthier of the two quarterbacks, and his veteran experience could help him secure the job. Nonetheless, the Falcons are going to make sure the best man wins the job.
The national media seems to be convinced that it's Tagovailoa's gig to lose, but that doesn't mean we won't see both quarterbacks in 2026. In fact, Tua was listed as one of Bleacher Report's eight quarterbacks who could be benched this season.
"Another significant injury would quickly open the door for Penix or Trevor Siemian, as would a stretch of poor play," wrote B/R's Kristopher Knox. "Atlanta doesn't have much invested in the former Miami Dolphins starter, and if Tagovailoa can't deliver a playoff run, the Falcons will give Penix another chance to prove he can be the long-term answer. Of course, if Tagovailoa and Penix both battle injuries and/or underwhelm, Siemian could end up steering the ship down the stretch while the Falcons eye that 2027 QB class."
Tagovailoa was benched late in the 2025 season by the Miami Dolphins, leading to his release over the offseason. The Falcons were able to land Tua for the veteran minimum, which was a savvy move that gives the team another starting-caliber QB without paying an arm and a leg (aka the Kirk Cousins contract).

“I want to thank Josh Reynolds for his hard work and dedication to the Tennessee baseball program during his two seasons in Knoxville, but I have decided it’s best for our program to move in a different direction from a pitching standpoint at this time," coach Josh Elander said in a school release.
Reynolds spent two seasons with the Vols, first as director of baseball operations and pitching performance in 2025 before being promoted for Elander's first season as head coach in 2026. He replaced Frank Anderson, who followed former coach Tony Vitello to the San Francisco Giants when Vitello was hired as their manager in October 2025.
Tennessee had a team ERA of 4.72 this season as it went 38-22.

The firm lifted its wafer fab equipment spending estimate for 2026 to $153 billion from $142 billion, and for 2027 to $190 billion from $163 billion.

The firm said its DRAM wafer fab equipment revisions have narrowed and that it has grown more constructive on NAND revisions from here, citing confidence in Lam’s 2027 share gains.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All Jr. aims to put his injuries behind him after missing 43 games dating back to his final season with the Michigan Wolverines in 2022 and his lone season with the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2023. He missed 11 games in 2022 with a significant back injury that required surgery. All then missed seven games in 2023 due to a torn right ACL. He tore the same ACL in his rookie season, missing eight games and the entire 2025 campaign.
All has since fully recovered and has been a full participant in voluntary organized team activities. He will compete for a roster spot, and if he can pick where he left off in both the blocking and receiving departments, he could earn a place on the 53-man roster.
During Tuesday’s press conference, Erick All Jr. was asked about his health after recently recovering from a pair of ACL injuries, as reported by Billy Riccette of Bengals Wire. He said he feels much better than when he first arrived in Cincinnati in 2024 and is now completely healthy. All also emphasized his physicality, saying he “is in heaven” when coaches have him hit.
“I love to hit. If they have me hit, I’m in heaven,” All said, via Riccette.
“If I’m being quite honest, I feel a lot better than I did when I first got here. Like, a lot better. Completely healthy, 2024 season to now, I feel like a completely different person.

Naming Chris MacFarland president of hockey operations and general manager on June 2 begins a new era for the Nashville Predators.
After a lengthy search, majority owner Bill Haslam secured his top target in MacFarland, hiring him away from the Colorado Avalanche, where he served as general manager since 2022.
MacFarland didn't reveal much about his short term intentions for the Predators. Frequently referencing an upcoming "deep dive" into the roster, he anticipates meeting with the team's front office and scouting staff in the coming weeks before the 2026 NHL Draft on June 26.
MacFarland also talked about meeting the Predators' coaching staff, including Andrew Brunette. What he said could suggest his strategy in the coming months.
Though both MacFarland and Brunette have been involved in the NHL to some degree for over 26 years, somehow the two never connected professionally prior to now.

Baseball is the Spitaleri family business and, right now, business is booming.
Led senior Sean Spitaleri, Glen Rock is back in the North 1, Group 2 sectional final June 5, taking on Ramsey. Spitaleri is a pitcher/first baseman with a 9-1 record on the hill, a team-high 15 doubles and 28 RBIs. He's the North Jersey Male Athlete of the Week, presented by HSS.
Spitaleri couldn’t escape baseball even if he wanted to – news flash, he doesn’t – his father, Steve, is the Panther's head coach and his brother Jack is a starting outfielder.
“I am not here without my teammates or my coaches,” Spitaleri said after getting home from the Panthers sectional semifinal win in Vernon on June 3. “My whole team deserves a lot of recognition. I’m super lucky to be surrounded by a bunch of great guys, our bench guys bring energy and effort and that fires me up to give 110 percent.”
Sean has heard the question his entire high school career: What’s it like to have your dad as a coach? The answer is he loves it. Steve was a standout at Dominican University and runs a private baseball academy. Sean remembers being exposed to baseball growing up but not overly pushed in that direction.

The foundation has been poured; now the Kentucky Wildcats are looking to build the walls with 18 commitments already secured, and the Wildcats are sitting inside the 247 Sports Top 25 at No. 14 nationally. Will Stein enters another critical June recruiting weekend with momentum on his side. But as every successful recruiting class eventually learns, June isn't about protecting your position—it's about elevating it. This weekend could determine whether Kentucky's 2027 haul remains a solid class or transforms into one capable of competing with the SEC's recruiting powers.
Several of the Wildcats' top remaining targets will descend on Lexington over the next few days, including blue-chip pass rushers, elite offensive linemen, and impact defensive backs. For Stein and his staff, it's another opportunity to prove that Kentucky is no longer simply trying to keep pace in the SEC—it intends to challenge for territory traditionally controlled by college football's heavyweights.
Every recruiting weekend needs a centerpiece. This one begins with Indianapolis Warren Central No. 18 LB Sean Fox.
The explosive Navy All-American originally planned to visit Kentucky later this month but moved his official visit up, a move that speaks volumes about where the Wildcats stand in his recruitment. Kentucky held significant momentum throughout the spring before Georgia and Clemson intensified their pursuit. Now comes the most important stretch.
Fox has already experienced Athens. He's already seen Clemson. This weekend gives Kentucky its opportunity to remind him why the Wildcats sat atop his board earlier in the process. The battle won't be easy. Few programs win many head-to-head recruiting wars against Georgia and Clemson. But Kentucky doesn't need history this weekend.

Falling prices, fluctuating availability and a lack of clarity. With one week to go until the 2026 World Cup kicks off, many questions remain unanswered about match tickets.
Fifa promised the event would be sold out, but there are thousands of tickets available for sale across several platforms.
BBC Sport has found tickets for matches involving the smaller nations are now available well below face value - across Fifa's own resale site and secondary marketplaces.
World football's governing body has itself been accused of dumping inventory it now cannot sell on SeatGeek.
So just how 'sold out' are the matches? Will we see a repeat of last summer's Club World Cup when tickets were sold off at knock-down prices to fill stadiums?

Although FC Nantes will be playing in Ligue 2 next season after finishing 17th in the table, Anthony Lopes (35) will remain in Ligue 1 for a few more months.
With his contract with Les Canaris due to expire next June, the Portuguese goalkeeper is set to sign a two-year deal with SCO Angers, according to L’Équipe. An option for a further year has also been included in the deal.
Having enjoyed a satisfying season on a personal level, Lopes will bring all his experience (he has played 427 matches in the French league, the majority for Olympique Lyonnais) to an Angers side now bereft of Hervé Koffi (29), whose loan from RC Lens came to an end at the close of the season.
A starter in all 31 matches he played for Nantes this season (17 of them as captain), Lopes kept six clean sheets and conceded a total of 51 goals.

The New England Patriots have made a change to their offseason program schedule.
According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the Patriots moved their mandatory minicamp from June 15-17 to June 9-11, as head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed to media members on Tuesday.
The Patriots will hold their mandatory minicamp for veteran players, as stipulated in the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement. Physicals will be administered on June 8, before the team goes through on-field activities.
New England’s second practice of the minicamp will entail walkthroughs only. No live contact will be permitted throughout the three days of the mandatory camp.
The Patriots acquired superstar wide receiver A.J. Brown in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles on June 1, changing the complexion of their roster even further this spring. They will continue to get Brown and the team into shape once the mandatory minicamp takes place next week.
