Another sector suffering from the war in Iran is the auto industry.
The war is driving up US aluminum prices by choking off critical shipments from the Persian Gulf.
Combined with a 50% tariff and a major supplier outage, the cost of primary aluminum from smelters is nearly 90% higher than a year ago.
The supply crunch leaves the auto industry facing a severe shortage for a metal that has become critical for truck building.
That's Journal reporter Bob Tita, who covers the metals industry.
He says that the pain is especially acute at Ford.
Aluminum is used in the best-selling vehicle in the U.S., the F-150 pickup.
Ford recently asked the Trump administration to waive the 50 percent tariff on imported aluminum until its primary supplier, the Oswego plant, returns to full service.
So far, administration officials have refused to budge on the request.
In markets news, we're exclusively reporting that GameStop has made an unsolicited offer to buy eBay for about $56 billion.
In an interview with the journal, GameStop CEO Brian Cohen said eBay can be a much bigger rival to Amazon.
He said GameStop has built a roughly 5% stake in eBay and that if the e-commerce company isn't receptive to the proposal, he's prepared to launch a proxy fight and take the offer directly to its shareholders.
We report GameStop is offering a roughly 20% premium to eBay's Friday closing price, and that the video game company has a commitment letter from TD Bank to provide up to $20 billion in debt financing to help make a deal possible.
And Anthropic is finalizing a deal to create a joint venture with Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and a handful of other Wall Street firms to sell AI tools to companies backed by private equity.
All told, about $1.5 billion is expected to be committed.
The company would act as a consulting arm for Anthropic to help teach businesses how to incorporate AI across their operations.
Anthropic, Blackstone, and Hellman & Friedman are anchoring the deal, which could be announced as soon as today.
Coming up, prediction markets have become wildly popular, even though almost everyone is losing.
That story and more after the break.
The amount of money traded on prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket has surged over the past year, with users trying to hit it big by betting on sports, celebrities, and sometimes seemingly random or very specific news.
