Your exchange-traded fund is flat. Remember that ETF you tucked away that invests in developed markets outside the U.S.—the one that looked cheap but has lagged behind the S&P 500 forever because it’s loaded with crusty old companies in Europe and Japan? By the way, both of these overseas funds, developed and emerging, beat the S&P 500 by a lot in 2025, too, but that was partly because the value of the dollar tanked last year as the Federal Reserve was cutting interest rates.

IBM on Thursday unveiled what it said was the world's first technology capable of producing chips smaller than one nanometer, as tech companies race to build semiconductors that can handle increasingly demanding AI workloads. The new chip technology, which bolsters IBM's position to compete with contract chipmakers TSMC and Intel, has a transistor architecture of 0.7 nanometers, or 7 angstroms. Last week, Intel said the new generation of its 18A manufacturing process, which makes 1.8 nanometer chips, moved into risk production, the testing phase before commercial manufacturing.

Supply constraints at the contract manufacturer have held back iPhone sales, Apple CEO Tim Cook said in April.
