The US Treasury Department revoked a waiver that allowed the sale of Iranian oil in response to attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, jeopardizing an interim peace deal between Washington and Tehran.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control said no new transactions for Iranian oil may take place on or after July 7. A previous version of the waiver, titled General License X, was issued in the wake of the peace agreement and allowed transactions for 60 days, through August 21.

Audi introduced its newest car, the Nuvolari, a hybrid with a 1,000-horsepower, V-8 engine, which will share hardware with its Volkswagen AG sister brand, Lamborghini. The Nuvolari is a halo car, created to attract attention and generate excitement around the Audi brand, with an estimated price of $686,000 and only 499 units to be made. The concept of a halo car is changing, with the rise of electrification and domestic alternatives in China, making it challenging for traditional automakers to create vehicles that provoke a visceral reaction and justify their high prices.

Broadcom said that it will provide new custom chips to Apple Inc. in an expanded partnership that now runs through 2031.Under the new agreement, the companies will partner on ASIC silicon, short for application-specific integrated circuit. These types of chips will be found in “multiple generations of Apple products,” according to a Broadcom filing on Monday.
ASIC chips, silicon developed for a specific purpose, are increasingly vital to the development of components for processing artificial intelligence-related tasks. Apple is working on more advanced AI servers that the company is planning to deploy as early as 2027, Bloomberg has reported.
Broadcom has long made components for Apple related to cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but that relationship has taken a step back in recent years with Apple developing its own N1 chip, a combined Wi-Fi and Bluetooth component found in recent iPhones, iPads and Macs.

Rhode Island’s new tax on second homes is nicknamed for its most famous part-time resident, music superstar Taylor Swift, but the levy will also squeeze owners of saltbox houses on the coast that are much less grand than the singer’s Holiday House mansion.
Under an annual property tax measure that takes effect Wednesday, the state will collect $5 for every $1,000 that a vacation home’s value is assessed over $1 million. Rhode Island lawmakers passed the measure last year, targeting out-of-towners in coastal enclaves like Newport and Little Compton to raise revenue for affordable housing construction.
Tim Stenovec and guest host Norah Mulinda speak with Bloomberg News Boston Money and Power Reporter Greg Ryan on his reporting on the 'Taylor Swift Tax'.

A dangerous heat wave that is trapped over New York City is also trapping people in the city.

The heat dome that’s settled over the East Coast has New York City set for its hottest day since 2012, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures in Central Park are expected to spike to 100F (38C) Thursday afternoon, but swampy, oppressive humidity will make it feel more like 110F. In parts of the city with less shade and more pavement, temperatures are likely to push even higher.

Power prices on the largest US grid surged as the eastern part of the country was struck by what is forecast to be the hottest day of the year so far.

Show notes

The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

Bending Spoons shares surged 40% above their initial public offering price after the company and some of its backers raised $1.68 billion. The trading gives Bending Spoons a market value of $25.7 billion. That compares with a valuation of about $14.5 billion in 2025, after a funding round comprised of $270 million in primary capital and $440 million in secondary capital and a $2.8 billion debt package, according to PitchBook data.

Bending Spoons was formed in 2013 and derived its name from a scene in the 1990s science-fiction film The Matrix. The company brings a private equity-style playbook to distressed software apps, buying largely subscription-based services, trimming their staff and handing operations to coders
