US Strikes Iranian-Linked Oil Tanker, Anthropic Mega-Listing Nears | The Opening Trade 7/16/2026
The US launched more airstrikes on Iran after President Donald Trump pledged to intensify the bombardment until Tehran stops attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz and agrees to open the waterway.
Anthropic PBC is seeking to meet with investors ahead of its potential mega-IPO, according to people familiar with the matter, as the company prepares to join the rush of artificial intelligence-driven stock market debuts.
