T-Mobile To Roll Out Satellite Data Service This October

Federal Reserve Governor&nbsp;Michelle Bowman&nbsp;has expressed her support for a potential interest rate cut in July, provided that inflation remains subdued.
What Happened:  Bowman, during a speech in Prague, suggested that an interest rate cut at the upcoming July meeting would be appropriate if inflationary pressures remain low, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/23/fed-governor-bowman-favors-july-interest-rate-cut-if-inflation-stays-low.html">reported</a> CNBC on Monday.
&#8220;Should inflation pressures remain contained,&nbsp;I would support lowering the&nbsp;policy rate as soon as&nbsp;our next meeting in order&nbsp;to bring it closer to&nbsp;its neutral setting and to&nbsp;sustain a healthy labor market,&#8221;&nbsp;Bowman said.
Bowman&#8217;s view aligns with that of fellow Governor Christopher Waller, who also hinted at a possible rate cut in July. Both governors are of the opinion that the effect of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on prices will be temporary and muted, thus creating a favorable environment for lower rates.
"I think it is likely that the impact of tariffs on inflation may take longer, be more delayed, and have a smaller effect than initially expected, especially because many firms frontloaded their stocks of inventories," stated the Fed Governor.
While Bowman did not specify the extent of the rate cut she supports, Waller has stated that drastic cuts aren&#8217;t needed at the moment. The FOMC&#8217;s next meeting is scheduled for July 29-30.

Why It Matters: The Federal Reserve&#8217;s 2% inflation target has been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/33000234/california-democrat-ro-khanna-questions-feds-2-inflation-target-why-is-it-sacrosanct-as-opposed-to-s">subject of debate</a>, with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) questioning its sanctity. The Fed&#8217;s decision to maintain its benchmark rate at 4.25%-4.50% for a sixth consecutive meeting, has left borrowing costs and deposit payouts near current levels across the economy. This comes amid mounting White House pressure for rate cuts.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) criticized President <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elizabeth-warren-says-americans-deserve-013139342.html">Trump&#8217;s tariff</a> policies, arguing they prevent the Federal Reserve from delivering the lower interest rates Americans need.
Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s semiannual appearance starts Tuesday as he delivers the Federal Reserve's monetary policy report to the House Financial Services Committee, followed by the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday.

Fed Governor Michelle Bowman Backs July Rate Cut, Citing 'Contained' Inflation Pressure: 'Impact Of Tariffs...May Take Longer'

U.S. futures were trading higher on Tuesday after a positive day of trading on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading higher.
President Donald Trump announced a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46066239/dow-futures-jump-over-200-points-as-trump-announces-ceasefire-but-iran-says-no-agreement-crude-plunges">ceasefire</a>&#8221; in a Truth Social post, saying that "THE 12 DAY WAR" will be considered "ended." 
Despite this, the Foreign Minister of Iran, Syed Abbas Araghchi, refuted claims of a ceasefire, saying that there was "no agreement" for cessation of military operations, in a post on X.

The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 77.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist Jeremy Siegel expressed his opinions on the ongoing tensions as Trump announced a ceasefire.
&#8220;Geopolitics is a wildcard, but the U.S. is far less exposed than it was in the 1970s. Even a brief closure of the Strait of Hormuz would not derail domestic growth—shale capacity and strategic reserves mute the blow,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;I maintain that investors should stay overweight equities versus bonds,&#8221; he added, sayin that &#8220;don't just chase the AI enablers at high multiples to earnings; real margin expansion could very well accrue to users of AI—banks, industrial, consumer-staples, mid-cap firms that are learning where they can cut costs, increase output and improve margins.&#8221;
In its most recent note, BlackRock spotlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46068345/blackrock-bets-big-on-defense-companies-amid-escalating-geopolitical-tensions-palantir-lockheed-">defense sector as a top investment prospect</a>, fueled by escalating geopolitical fragmentation and a worldwide focus on national security.
As per BlackRock, the U.S. distinguishes itself through its extensive defense spending, which, according to SIPRI data, "spends more than double on defense than Europe."
Moreover, the U.S. hosts the world's most advanced defense and defense technology companies, acting as a vital provider of critical systems like air and missile defense for numerous countries.
Within the defense sector, BlackRock identifies substantial opportunities in defense tech. This expansive field includes not just artificial intelligence (AI) and software firms but also crucial IT services and hardware, such as semiconductors, that drive cutting-edge defense capabilities.
BlackRock observes that "growing geopolitical fragmentation and strategic competition in AI are reinforcing the global focus on national security and resilience – creating opportunities in defense." This highlights a targeted investment strategy in defense, where technological leadership and strong national security frameworks are increasingly critical.

According to a former Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) executive, the company is now aiming for something bigger, which goes beyond the purview of legacy streaming.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nflx">NFLX stock here</a>.
What Happened: On Monday, AlphaSense, an expert network that connects subject-matter experts with investors and analysts, shared the transcript of one such conversation between a former Netflix executive and an analyst, discussing the streaming giant&#8217;s future.
The expert here highlighted the company&#8217;s foray into building a physical, or real-world empire, not unlike that of the Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) with its theme parks, cruises, merchandise and more.
They cite the upcoming Netflix House, Squid Game trials, and Bridgerton-themed balls as more than just novelty, and a strategic bet on customer retention and diversified revenue streams.

&#8220;This isn't just about buzz,&#8221; the expert explained. &#8220;It's a revenue stream, a retention play, and a way to deepen loyalty, more like Disney's ecosystem than HBO's content-first model.&#8221;
&#8220;One of the reasons why I think people love Netflix so much is because it actually almost has like a personality to it,&#8221; he says, pointing to how the company blends content with cultural relevance.
&#8220;For Squid Game we had something called the Squid Game trials where you could go and play six real-life Squid Game events in person,&#8221; the former exec said, using this as an example to illustrate the company&#8217;s efforts in translating its intellectual property into immersive events.
These experiences, including pop-up attractions, themed balls, and the upcoming Netflix House, are already being treated as a revenue stream. But more importantly, they're part of a long-game retention and brand strategy, they say.
The longer-term implication, he suggested, is that Netflix's value proposition is evolving. No longer just a streaming app, the company is building an ecosystem where screen content connects directly to physical consumer touchpoints, from branded experiences and immersive events to merchandise and more.

Why It Matters: Last month, Netflix&#8217;s Co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, stated that the company had pumped $125 billion into the U.S. economy from 2020 through 2024, citing over 900 productions and 140,000 jobs across all 50 states during these four years.
&#8220;People forget this is a real business,&#8221; he says, highlighting the sector&#8217;s overlooked economic clout when it comes to trade talks and federal policies.
When the company first announced its experiential entertainment venues last year, many experts and analysts saw it as something that would help <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39439112/will-netflix-save-shopping-malls-new-experiences-a-potential-game-changer-for-retail-center">save shopping malls</a> in the U.S.
Price Action: Shares of Netflix were up 1.80% on Monday, trading at $1,253.54, and are up 0.60% after hours.

From 'Squid Game' Trials To Bridgerton Balls: Ex-Insider Says Netflix Is Quietly Building A Real-World Empire — A Disney-Style Ecosystem In The Works

Financial commentator Peter Schiff slammed Texas&#8217; move to establish a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve funded by the state treasury.
What Happened: Schiff took to X on Monday, voicing concerns about the legislative clearance given in the &#8220;Lone Star&nbsp;State&#8221; to use public funds to buy the apex cryptocurrency.
&#8220;Texas buying Bitcoin is yet another example of why the Founding Fathers distrusted democracy,&#8221; he said.
Schiff noted that wealthy Bitcoin investors, often known as whales, are buying off lawmakers to push such cryptocurrency-friendly measures and get political backing in exchange, all &#8220;at the expense of taxpayers&#8221; who fund the purchases.

Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s remarks come after the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act was signed into <a href="https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Text.aspx?LegSess=89R&amp;Bill=SB21">law</a> by Governor Greg Abbott last week, making Texas the third state, after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45243344/bitcoin-reserve-bill-signed-into-law-by-new-hampshire-governor-granite-state-move-makes-it-a-pioneer">New Hampshire</a> and Arizona, to authorize such a reserve.
Texas has already allocated $10 million for the purchase of the leading cryptocurrency, meant to be funded from the state treasury pool, according to a <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/06/23/texas-ready-for-10m-bitcoin-purchase-after-governor-signs-bill-for-state-reserve">report </a>by CoinDesk. The bill <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42476809/texas-joins-crypto-movement-introduces-bill-to-set-up-bitcoin-reserve">mandates </a>that only assets having a minimum market capitalization of $500 billion over a 24-month period would be eligible for inclusion in the reserve. Currently, only Bitcoin fits the bill.
Schiff&#8217;s criticism of Texas&#8217;s Bitcoin reserve is not surprising given his public opposition to anything associated with the apex cryptocurrency.
He previously warned that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44423999/peter-schiff-says-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-is-a-scam-to-lure-americans-into-buying-more-crypto">strategic national Bitcoin reserve</a> is a tool to trick Americans into speculative losses and that any government-backed crypto reserve would ultimately turn counterproductive.

Volvo Group Awarded EUR49M EU Grant For CarbonSmart SPACE Project To Cut CO₂ Emissions At Skövde Plant Using AI, Green Tech, And Hydrogen Batteries

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has recalled over 132,914 Lincoln Aviator SUVs over window bar and C-pillar issues.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/f">F stock here</a>.
What Happened: The defect applies to Aviator SUVs made between 2020 to 2025, an official filing with the NHTSA or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed on June 17, 2025.
"The rear door window bars and C-pillar trim may have insufficient adhesive bonding, which can allow the trim to detach from the vehicle," the filing by the NHTSA said.

The affected models would be recalled and fixed by the dealer free of charge, the regulator shared in its filing.
Why It Matters: This is another one in multiple recalls issued by the Detroit-based automakers in recent times. Earlier, the company also issued a recall for the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46012477/ford-recalls-over-197000-vehicles-for-backseat-issue-that-could-trap-occupants-in-emergency-situations"> Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> for a rear door issue, which could trap occupants inside the EV.
Ford also issued separate recalls for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739688/ford-recalls-over-29500-f-150-lightning-pickup-trucks-over-suspension-defect">F-150 Lightning</a> all-electric pickup truck over a suspension issue, as well as recalling over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45643704/ford-recalls-11-million-vehicles-for-camera-software-issue-report">1.1 million vehicles</a>, including the Bronco and the Edge, over camera software issues.
Elsewhere, the company says that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46020713/ford-says-upcoming-budget-ev-platform-will-rival-chinese-ev-prices-report">its budget EV platform</a>, due to arrive in 2027, could help the company rival its Chinese counterparts on cost-effectiveness.
"Ford intends to match the cost structure of leading Chinese players," Ford's VP for EVs Systems and Platform Programs, Lisa Drake, had said.

Ford Recalls Aviator SUVs As Adhesive Issue Adds To Automaker's Mounting Recall Woes

Aurora Mobile To Invest Up To 20% Of Cash Reserves In Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, And Other Digital Assets As Part Of Treasury Diversification Strategy

Klotho Neuroscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLTO), a US-based biogenetics company developing cell and gene- based treatments to address neurological conditions, including ALS, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD), has announced that it is partnering with Drs. Makoto Suzuki, Craig and Bradley Willcox, Richard Allsopp, and Michio Shimabukuro of the Okinawa Research Center for Longevity Science (ORCLS), as part of its research program on Okinawa, Japan, where a comparatively high number people live extremely long and healthy lives, many reaching 100 years and more.
&nbsp;
Okinawa is the original Blue Zone, validated by nearly five decades of groundbreaking research by ORCLS, which led to the discovery of other "longevity hotspots" - areas of the world with high concentrations of where people live to exceptional ages, extending not only their lifespans but their healthspans. KLTO has preliminary data from ORCLS suggesting the human alpha-Klotho gene and its secreted alpha-Klotho protein isoform (s-KL) may contribute to healthy longevity and lifespan. As we grow old, α-Klotho blood and tissue levels decrease. The decrease in tissue levels precedes the onset of multiple pathologies and diseases of human organ systems. Importantly, replenishing the s-KL levels using gene therapy may help protect against neurodegenerative disorders, muscle loss, bone loss and heart, liver and kidney disfunction associated with aging.
