In related news, Sterlite Technologies announced a substantial 1.11 billion dollars multi-year supply contract for optical connectivity products designated for AI data centers.

From the international front, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated that while a potential framework for negotiations with Iran is being discussed, no immediate breakthrough is expected, as both parties seem to navigate complex diplomatic waters. Recent comments from President Trump suggest positive momentum in talks, indicating progress towards stabilizing the region could potentially impact energy prices and further motivate market shifts. In other news, Schneider Electric projects its Indian data center segment, fueled by the AI boom, will outpace overall growth in the coming years. As demand for AI-related infrastructure surges, Schneider anticipates a significant increase in its market share, showcasing a trend likely to resonate across similar sectors. On the global stage, Pope Leo XIV addressed the increasing risks associated with artificial intelligence, advocating for regulation to prevent technology from overshadowing human governance. His comments highlight ongoing concerns regarding the ethical implications of AI and its potential military applications, amidst fears of it becoming a tool for conflict.
