The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has formally stepped into Kalshi’s legal dispute with Michigan, ordering the prediction market platform not to reverse certain completed trades as demanded by a state court. The agency said a state court cannot require a federally regulated venue to act in violation of the Commodity Exchange Act. CFTC Chair Mike Selig said Kalshi operates as a designated contract market approved by the commission, meaning its trading activity falls under federal law. The order marks a sharper escalation in the broader fight between the CFTC and several U.S. states over who controls prediction market oversight. Michigan is described as the first state to try to directly interfere with already executed trades. The dispute began after a circuit court in June ordered Kalshi to stop offering online sports event contracts in the state and later demanded that some completed trades by Michigan users be voided, canceled and refunded. Kalshi then sought emergency guidance from the CFTC on July 2.

SpaceX’s Starlink has introduced its new V5 user terminal, a lighter and more power-efficient home internet kit aimed at making satellite connectivity easier to deploy in remote and off-grid areas. According to the information cited by ABMedia, the V5 terminal weighs 1.1 kg, down from 2.9 kg for the previous V4 generation, a reduction of more than 60%.

The new kit comes with a Router Mini and mounting accessories, and Starlink said the system is designed to provide reliable, high-speed home internet with download speeds of more than 375 Mbps. The product is currently available only in selected regions, with broader supply expected as production capacity increases.

The report added that the device is said to carry 820 antenna elements, 2 beamformers, a panel size of about 274 by 350 mm, 54V input voltage, and a maximum power rating of 111W.

Tickmill Group analyst Patrick Munnelly said in a report that U.S. technology stocks could benefit if oil prices stabilize and investors scale back expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes. He said the earlier rise in oil had already pushed market pricing toward a higher likelihood of Fed tightening in the coming months, which in turn weakened demand for risk assets. Munnelly added that the picture could shift again if energy prices keep climbing. In that case, inflation concerns may intensify and weigh on overall market risk appetite. The comments were cited by Jin10 and frame oil as a key variable in how investors assess both monetary policy expectations and sentiment toward growth-sensitive sectors.
