Get a jump start on the US trading day with Matt Miller and Dani Burger on "Bloomberg Open Interest."

Meanwhile, Anthropic and the Pentagon hit turbulence over surveillance fears — just as investors dump software stocks on AI anxiety. And on Wall Street? The new trade isn't tech — it's teams.

Warner Bros. Reopens Talks as Paramount Signals Higher Bid (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Warner Bros Discovery Inc. has agreed to reopen negotiations with rival Hollywood studio Paramount Skydance Corp. after the suitor proposed raising its bid and sweetened other terms of its offer, setting the stage for a renewed showdown with Netflix Inc.
Netflix, which Warner Bros. still described as its preferred bidder, has granted the board seven days to discuss Paramount's most recent proposal, according to a statement Tuesday. The decision came after a Paramount banker told a Warner Bros. board member that Paramount would offer at least $31 a share, or $1 a share higher than its previous offer, if the company agreed to reopen talks. Warner Bros. now wants to see that, and other aspects of Paramount's new bid, in writing. Bloomberg's Stephen Flynn joins to discuss on Bloomberg Intelligence. (Source: Bloomberg)...
