Quick overview

Apple is considering Intel and Samsung as alternative manufacturers for its device processors, moving away from its long-time partner TSMC.

Preliminary discussions have occurred with Intel and a visit to a Samsung facility in Texas, but no orders have been placed yet.

Apple has concerns about using non-TSMC technology and may choose not to partner with these suppliers.

Recent chip shortages, driven by high demand for AI-capable Macs, have highlighted the need for Apple to diversify its supply chain.

Apple has explored using Intel and Samsung Electronics to manufacture the primary processors for its devices in the United States to provide an alternative to its longtime partner, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

QCOM closed at $168.38 on May 4, down 4.88% for the day, after analysts raised concerns about weak Android demand affecting Q3 guidance.QCOM closed at $168.38 on May 4, down 4.88%, amid concerns about weak Android demand impacting Q3 guidance.

Despite strong Q2 FY2026 results with $10.6 billion in revenue and record automotive revenue, analysts question the sustainability of growth.

The stock is testing key support levels between $166 and $168, with potential buying opportunities suggested near this range.

Long-term prospects remain positive, with a $45 billion design-win pipeline in automotive and a new $20 billion share repurchase plan.

QCOM closed at $168.38 on May 4, down 4.88% for the day, after analysts raised concerns about weak Android demand affecting Q3 guidance. The stock has dropped from its post-earnings high of $180.49 and is now testing the $166 to $168 range. Q2 FY2026 results were strong, with $10.6 billion in revenue, $2.65 EPS, and record automotive revenue of $1.33 billion. Now, investors are asking if this pullback is a buying chance or an early warning that Q3 guidance of $9.2 to $10.0 billion could fall short of expectations.

Ethereum Doubles Smart Contract Activity In 15 Days, But Price Barely Moves: Discover What That Gap MeansEthereum has been struggling to push above local highs as buyers search for the conviction need

Ethereum Doubles Smart Contract Activity In 15 Days, But Price Barely Moves: Discover What That Gap MeansEthereum has been struggling to push above local highs as buyers search for the conviction needed to break through resistance above $2,300. The price action is frustrating — a market that keeps approaching a level without clearing it
- and the chart alone does not explain why the upward pressure has been building. A CryptoOnchain analysis has just identified something in the network data that may be the answer the price chart is not providing.
In late April 2026, Ethereum's smart contract activity reached an all-time high. The metric tracking transfers generated by external contract calls —a measure of how actively the network's programmable infrastructure is being used-surged from 142,194 on April 10 to a peak of 309,032 on April 25. That is a
117% increase in fifteen days. Reaching a level of smart contract interaction that the Ethereum network has never recorded before.
The timing creates a divergence that demands examination. Ethereum's most fundamental measure of utility just set a historic record — and the price has been trading sideways, unable to push decisively above $2,300. The network is being used more than at any point in its history. The market has not priced that in.
That gap between what the network is doing and what the price is doing is where the story lives — and it is the gap that tends to close eventually rather than persist.

L&T Q4 Results for FY26 showed a minor drop in profit, but the company still delivered strong growth in business. Larsen & Toubro reported a net profit of Rs. 5,325.60 crore for the January to March quarter. This is 3% lower than Rs. 5497.26 crore reported in the same quarter of the previous year. 

Even with this dip, L&T Q4 Results looked positive in many areas. The company’s revenue from operations rose to Rs. 82762.16 crore. This is an increase of more than 11% compared to last year. Growth came from steady work in infrastructure, construction, and international projects.

Iran's attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and a drone strike on the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone sent Brent crude to $114.44 and WTI to $106.42, while the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to roughly 4.44% and the 30-year broke above 5%.

Bitcoin registered an intraday high of $80,717.66 on May 4, putting its macro identity to the test of being a hedge against monetary disorder or a liquidity-sensitive asset that struggles when yields rise, and cash becomes more attractive.

When the 10-year approaches 4.5%, mortgage rates, equity valuations, and corporate borrowing all tighten with it. Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.30% as of Apr. 30, already up from 6.23% the week before.

When war-driven yield moves pushed the 10-year to 4.39% in late March, that mortgage rate jumped to 6.38% and climbed to 6.46% as escalation fears intensified in early April.

A poll of strategists had a median 12-month forecast for the 10-year yield of roughly 4.26%, and the market is already trading about 20 basis points above that level.

About 20% of global oil and LNG supply moves through the Strait of Hormuz, which is why the market reaction spread immediately from crude into rates.

Eurasia Group warned that without a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, US gasoline could reach $5 a gallon, while AAA's national average stood at $4.457 on May 4. Both numbers frame the inflation risk that feeds into rate expectations and complicates the Fed's position.

Solana rolls out Pay.sh with Google Cloud to bring pay-per-use API payments to AI





The Solana Foundation has introduced Pay.sh, a new payment gateway built in collaboration with Google Cloud, aimed at enabling autonomous AI agents to access and pay for APIs using stablecoins on the Solana network.

The launch targets a growing friction point in the AI economy: while agents increasingly automate workflows, access to enterprise-grade APIs still requires manual onboarding, credentials, and billing relationships.

Pay.sh attempts to remove those barriers.
