The technology sector is showing extreme divergence: AMD has crossed the $1 trillion market capitalization mark, reflecting sustained AI infrastructure demand. Conversely, Meta is introducing new fees for WhatsApp Business, signaling margin defense rather than expansion, and Anthropic has disclosed the largest pre-IPO loss in history, underscoring the financial risks of the current AI capital race. Apple Pay has officially launched in India, partnering with Axis Bank to facilitate contactless payments. This marks a significant expansion of Apple's digital services ecosystem in one of the world's largest smartphone markets, potentially driving recurring revenue growth and deepening user engagement with the Apple hardware base.
