Rivian (RIVN) Q1 Earnings Preview: Key Metrics Wall Street Is Tracking Thursday

Rivian Automotive, Inc., RIVN　　The electric vehicle manufacturer delivered 10,400 units during the first quarter, representing a 20% climb compared to last years corresponding period and exceeding Street expectations of approximately 9,900 vehicles. Management stood by its annual delivery forecast of 62,000 to 67,000 units, indicating confidence in accelerating production through the remainder of 2026.　　With delivery figures already disclosed, investor focus shifts to profitability metrics and revenue composition.　　Wall Street analysts project first quarter revenue of $1.37 billion, which would mark roughly 10.5% growth versus the year-ago quarter. The Streets EPS forecast stands at a loss of $0.60 per share.　　Historically, Rivian has surpassed earnings per share projections just 38% of the time across the previous two years, though it has exceeded revenue forecasts 63% of reporting periods. Recent estimate revisions lean positive, with 10 upward EPS adjustments in the past 90 days against zero downgrades.　　Analysts are particularly interested in average transaction prices. Should automotive revenue outpace unit delivery growth, it would indicate stronger sales mix toward the premium R1T pickup and R1S SUV models — a favorable development for gross margin expansion.　　Software Segment Drives Margin Opportunity　　The software and services division generated $447 million in the fourth quarter, representing more than double the

USD/CAD reverses post-Fed spike to settle near 1.3680

Monetary policy in the US is shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to achieve price stability and foster full employment. Its primary tool to achieve these goals is by adjusting interest rates.　　When prices are rising too quickly and inflation is above the Feds 2% target, it raises interest rates, increasing borrowing costs throughout the economy. This results in a stronger US Dollar (USD) as it makes the US a more attractive place for international investors to park their money.　　When inflation falls below 2% or the Unemployment Rate is too high, the Fed may lower interest rates to encourage borrowing, which weighs on the Greenback.　　The Federal Reserve (Fed) holds eight policy meetings a year, where the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) assesses economic conditions and makes monetary policy decisions.　　The FOMC is attended by twelve Fed officials – the seven members of the Board of Governors, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and four of the remaining eleven regional Reserve Bank presidents, who serve one-year terms on a rotating basis.　　In extreme situations, the Federal Reserve may resort to a policy named Quantitative Easing (QE). QE is the process by which the Fed substantially

Market Reacts as Fed Holds Rates Steady, But Historic Dissent Signals Deeper Divide

The Federal Reserve delivered a widely expected pause on interest rates Wednesday, holding the federal funds rate at 3.50%–3.75%.

White House Weighs Reinstating Anthropic for Federal Use Amid Pentagon Fight: Report

The White House is reportedly drafting guidance to help agencies use Anthropic despite Pentagon restrictions.Agencies are seeking access to Anthropics newest model, Mythos, for cybersecurity and defense uses.The dispute centers on Anthropics limits on surveillance and autonomous weapons use.　　The White House is reportedly moving to restore Anthropics standing across the federal government as the AI company remains in a dispute with the Pentagon over how its models can be used.　　According to a report by Axios citing multiple sources, officials in President Donald Trump‘s administration are drafting guidance that could let federal agencies work around Anthropic’s “supply chain risk” designation and gain access to its newest AI models, including Mythos.　　The move would mark a reversal for an administration that previously treated Anthropic as a security risk and sought to remove its technology from government systems, after CEO Dario Amodei refused unrestricted access to the Pentagon earlier this year.　　Axios reported that a draft executive action under discussion could ease the administration‘s stance and allow agencies to use Anthropic’s technology while allowing the administration to “save face and bring them back in.”　　In February, the Pentagon designated Anthropic a “supply chain risk.” After Trump ordered agencies to “immediately cease” using its products, federal departments

US spends $25B on Iran conflict, ceasefire unlikely by April 30

Tech　　US spends $25B on Iran conflict, ceasefire unlikely by April 30　　The U.S. has spent $25 billion on its military operations against Iran, according to a senior Pentagon official. The probability of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire by April 30 is at 1.8% YES, down from 16% a week ago.　　Daily military costs exceeding $1 billion point to continued hostilities, not wind-down. Traders have responded by pushing ceasefire odds lower, and the April 30 ceasefire market is now approaching expiration with almost no movement.　　The market trades $50,697 in daily USDC volume. It takes $5,457 to move the price 5 points, indicating a thick order book. The largest move in the past 24 hours was a 1-point spike, consistent with stable sentiment against a ceasefire.　　The Pentagons $25 billion figure confirms the conflict is entrenched, making a near-term ceasefire less likely, not more. With no formal end to hostilities and daily costs above $1 billion, this is a bearish signal for any immediate resolution. Buying YES at 2¢ offers a 50x return but requires an improbable diplomatic breakthrough within a day.　　Watch for any movement from intermediaries like Oman or Qatar, or signals from Trump or CENTCOM indicating a shift in strategy. A sudden diplomatic event could
