Super Micro's AI Backlog Surges: Super Micro Computer's shares jumped more than 15% after the company reported a record order backlog exceeding $60 billion, signaling strong demand for its AI servers powered by Nvidia chips. While quarterly revenue is expected to land at the low end of guidance, improved gross margins suggest the company is making progress on profitability and cost control.

U.S.-Canada Trade Tensions Escalate: President Donald Trump announced new 50% tariffs on a broad range of Canadian exports, citing what the White House calls discriminatory Canadian trade policies affecting U.S. industries. The tariffs, set to take effect in 30 days, have drawn mixed reactions in Canada, with Prime Minister Mark Carney favoring negotiations while several provincial leaders have called for retaliatory measures.
