Warren Buffett said Kevin Warsh is the right person to serve as the new chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, according to CNBC. Buffett said Warsh would do his best to carry out the job’s core mandate: bringing inflation to 2% while maintaining full employment. He also stressed that perfection is unrealistic in a role like this, comparing the challenge to his own experience managing other people’s money and trying to generate excess returns. Buffett added that Warsh cares about the country and said many Federal Reserve officials do as well, even if their decisions are not always perfect. He described Fed policymaking as difficult at times, pointing to the complexity of the role rather than offering any guarantee about policy outcomes. The remarks focused on Warsh’s fitness for the position and Buffett’s view of the demands tied to central bank leadership.

SpaceX has fallen below its offer price, triggering a sharp build-up in bearish bets, according to Bloomberg. Data cited in the report showed short sellers were sitting on nearly $3.88 billion in paper profits, with about 181 million SpaceX shares sold short. That position accounts for roughly 28% of the company’s free float, underscoring how heavily traders have leaned into the decline. The drop has been steep. Since hitting a closing high on June 16, SpaceX has lost about $86 billion in market value, a slide of roughly one-third. Investors are now watching two near-term catalysts closely: the company’s first quarterly earnings report and the release of additional locked-up shares. Both events could shape the stock’s next move as the market gauges whether the selling pressure has run its course or will continue to build.

The U.S. Department of Defense has barred the public release of the annual report on the F-35 fighter jet program for the first time in more than two decades, according to Odaily. The report is prepared at the request of the U.S. Congress and has been published every year since 2005. This year, the Pentagon said its review process identified classified information that should not be disclosed publicly, marking the first time such a finding has prevented release of the document. The F-35 program has faced repeated criticism over the years, including budget overruns, delays in engine deliveries, postponed software updates, and parts wearing out earlier than expected. The move breaks a long-running pattern of annual disclosure tied to congressional oversight of the project.

ASML is planning to raise prices for some of its chipmaking equipment, a move that could put it at odds with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), according to The Information, which cited people familiar with the matter. TSMC, described as ASML’s largest customer, has already begun opposing the plan. The report centers on extreme ultraviolet, or EUV, systems, which are used to manufacture advanced semiconductors. Demand for advanced chips has been climbing as artificial intelligence drives more investment across the sector, making EUV tools even more critical for leading-edge production. Speaking on the company’s earnings call on Wednesday, ASML Chief Financial Officer Roger Dassen said the company could adjust pricing for its less advanced low-NA EUV machines. He said ASML has continued to improve production efficiency for low-NA EUV, which gives the company room for potential future price increases. At the same time, he said any change would not affect pricing immediately because order cycles are long.
