Argentum AI has signed a deal worth around $2.5 billion with cloud gaming firm Boosteroid and real estate company DL Invest Group for a 300-megawatt data center in Europe, the artificial intelligence infrastructure provider told Reuters on Friday. Under the deal, Argentum said it will deploy graphics processing unit infrastructure in a data center, with the company expected to use tens of thousands of next-generation GPUs, including Nvidia's Blackwell systems in the future. The deal will be one of the largest independent AI infrastructure projects in the region. It comes as the tech industry rushes to secure compute capacity to meet soaring demand, leading to the emergence of independent infrastructure providers such as Argentum.

Analysts say SpaceX's proposed valuation reflects in part how much investors are being asked to pay for future growth.

The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is rising toward its highest level in nearly a year, as rising oil prices fan fears about inflation again.

Stocks looked set to fall on Friday as investors fretted about soaring Treasury yields and President Donald Trump’s summit with China's leader Xi Jinping concluded without any meaningful breakthrough on trade. “For some time, analysts have been puzzled by equity markets’ resilience in the face of rising bond yields and clear inflationary pressures,” said Kathleen Brooks, research director at the foreign-exchange brokerage XTB. “Today we may see the pressure of rising bond yields start to weigh on equities, and futures prices suggest that U.S. indices will pull back from record highs later today and could close the week on a dampener.”
