SpaceX’s share price fell back to Earth, erasing some of the gains it had chalked up since an initial public offering on June 12th. The stock was listed at $135 at the company’s flotation, had climbed to over $200 in subsequent days and was trading at around $155 during the middle of this week. Some $400bn was wiped off SpaceX’s market value in one day, the second-biggest such loss for any company (Nvidia lost almost $600bn on January 27th 2025). Meanwhile, SpaceX launched its first bond offering, over a range of maturities, to institutional investors, which should raise $25bn. The company will use the proceeds to repay a bridge loan it took out in March when x AI, Elon Musk’s AI company, and X, his social-media platform, were merged with SpaceX.
Other tech stocks fell heavily during the week, as concerns about the lofty valuations of AI -related firms and the prospect of higher interest rates once again rattled investors. The share prices of chipmakers such as Micron, Nvidia and Qualcomm dropped sharply. Alphabet’s stock slid by 5% after two senior AI researchers said they were leaving, one to join Anthropic and the other to join Open AI.
Micron cheered investors, however, when it published its quarterly earnings. The chipmaker’s revenue climbed by 345%, year on year, to $41.5bn, and net profit soared by 1,400%, to $28.2bn.
Trading in South Korea’s stock market was also volatile. The KOSPI index, which is dominated by Samsung and SK Hynix, the country’s big chipmakers, dropped by 10% in a day. The volume of share trading was exceptionally high. The Korean stock exchange’s circuit-breaker was triggered for the fourth time this year. It wasn’t triggered at all in 2025.
Meanwhile, SK Hynix filed papers to list shares in America for the first time. It plans to start selling American depositary receipts (enabling US investors to buy its stock) on the Nasdaq exchange on July 10th and hopes to raise 45.4trn won ($29.4bn).
If you can’t beat them…
For the past few years investors have wondered how companies that provide stock pictures, video and graphics to the media and other creative markets will survive in the world of AI. Getty Images has provided an answer to that conundrum by striking a licensing agreement with Open AI that will make its content available on Chat GPT, providing the chatbot with a trustworthy source of pictures. Getty’s share price surged.
In what could be India’s largest-ever initial public offering, Jio Platforms, the country’s biggest mobile-network operator, filed a draft prospectus with regulators, starting the ball rolling on its stock-market flotation. Jio is a subsidiary of Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries; the business tycoon described it as a “deeply emotional moment”. Jio hopes to raise $4bn through the IPO, which would give it a market capitalisation of $130bn.
A regulatory filing from Oracle revealed that the software company has erased 21,000 jobs over 12 months, reducing its full-time global workforce to 141,000. Oracle is under pressure to reduce costs that have spiralled because of its expansion into data centres, but the job losses are higher than the forecasts of most analysts. Oracle said AI supplanted some of the workers.
In China, Richard Liu, the boss of JD.com, predicted that robots will replace the e-commerce company’s 700,000 delivery workers “sooner or later”. Robots will eventually handle all deliveries, said Mr Liu, and workers will need to be retrained to maintain and repair their automated colleagues. China’s experiments with robot technology threaten to throw the country’s army of drivers in the gig economy out of work. Last year Shenzhen airport began a service that enables passengers to order food and have it delivered to their gate by a robot.
Forget LA law, here’s AI law
A law firm that uses AI instead of lawyers won a case in the English courts, in what is thought to be a legal first for AI anywhere in the world. Garfield AI, which uses the technology to prepare its cases, helped a human-resources freelancer recover money owed to her by a firm, though a human barrister represented her in court. The freelancer spent £400 ($525) on AI legal services and was awarded £7,000, while the defending firm paid lawyers for their advice in the case.
Tributes were paid to Alan Greenspan, who died aged 100. Mr Greenspan was chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006, the second-longest tenure of anyone in the job. Nicknamed the Maestro for his mastery of policy and his loquacious statements, Mr Greenspan once said, “If I turn out to be particularly clear, you’ve probably misunderstood what I’ve said.”
