Israelis voted in an election described as the most consequential in the country's history, with Netanyahu facing a challenge seen as a referendum on his leadership and no clear majority expected. Anthropic filed to go public with a potential $2 trillion valuation and a massive net loss as it seeks to list on Nasdaq under ANT. Plus the Federal Reserve held rates steady and signaled higher rates through 2027, while consumer confidence fell to its lowest level since 2014.
