California regulators challenge AT&T bid to end copper phone service in parts of the state, pressuring T stock
California’s Public Utilities Commission has urged a court and the FCC to reject AT&T’s request to stop offering traditional copper-wire phone service to new customers in parts of the state, saying the carrier-of-last-resort obligation is technology-neutral. The CPUC also argues AT&T has not shown that replacement options would meet state standards for all affected users. The pushback could keep AT&T maintaining aging copper lines alongside newer fiber, raising costs and slowing the company’s cost-cutting timeline. The article adds that the regulatory drag compounds technical weakness in the shares, which are below major moving averages with softer MACD momentum.

Bessent says U.S. used four-stage pressure to bring Iran to nuclear talks as Polymarket puts Hormuz normalization at 44% by July 31
The U.S. and Iran have reached a phased framework for nuclear talks that includes a 60-day waiver for Iranian crude exports, lifting a naval blockade and conditional access to frozen assets, while Iran pledged zero fees for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Washington retains the option to end negotiations immediately if Tehran’s assurances prove false. Prediction markets put the probability of Hormuz traffic returning to pre-disruption norms at 44% by July 31 and 86% by Dec. 31, while Brent has fallen below $75 a barrel and the IEA estimates the UAE is exporting at nearly 85% of prewar levels.

CryptoQuant CEO urges MicroStrategy to pause Bitcoin buys as STRC slides to $82.50 and cash coverage tightens
CryptoQuant’s CEO criticized MicroStrategy for continuing to buy Bitcoin, arguing it is intensifying cash-flow pressure as the company’s USD reserve has fallen 38% since the start of 2026 and annual dividend obligations have risen to $1.2 billion. He said Strategy has $1.1 billion in cash versus $2.8 billion needed to cover 24 months of dividends, while STRC fell to $82.50—its deepest 17.5% discount to par. The note also flagged MSTR testing the $100–$103 support zone, warning that a break below $100 would leave no major support until much lower.

SanDisk rises 3.13% to $2025.00 in Wednesday premarket as Micron earnings loom
