Federal Reserve Governor&nbsp;Michelle Bowman&nbsp;has expressed her support for a potential interest rate cut in July, provided that inflation remains subdued.
What Happened:  Bowman, during a speech in Prague, suggested that an interest rate cut at the upcoming July meeting would be appropriate if inflationary pressures remain low, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/23/fed-governor-bowman-favors-july-interest-rate-cut-if-inflation-stays-low.html">reported</a> CNBC on Monday.
&#8220;Should inflation pressures remain contained,&nbsp;I would support lowering the&nbsp;policy rate as soon as&nbsp;our next meeting in order&nbsp;to bring it closer to&nbsp;its neutral setting and to&nbsp;sustain a healthy labor market,&#8221;&nbsp;Bowman said.
Bowman&#8217;s view aligns with that of fellow Governor Christopher Waller, who also hinted at a possible rate cut in July. Both governors are of the opinion that the effect of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on prices will be temporary and muted, thus creating a favorable environment for lower rates.
"I think it is likely that the impact of tariffs on inflation may take longer, be more delayed, and have a smaller effect than initially expected, especially because many firms frontloaded their stocks of inventories," stated the Fed Governor.
While Bowman did not specify the extent of the rate cut she supports, Waller has stated that drastic cuts aren&#8217;t needed at the moment. The FOMC&#8217;s next meeting is scheduled for July 29-30.

Ro Khanna (D-CA) questioning its sanctity. The Fed&#8217;s decision to maintain its benchmark rate at 4.25%-4.50% for a sixth consecutive meeting, has left borrowing costs and deposit payouts near current levels across the economy. This comes amid mounting White House pressure for rate cuts.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) criticized President <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elizabeth-warren-says-americans-deserve-013139342.html">Trump&#8217;s tariff</a> policies, arguing they prevent the Federal Reserve from delivering the lower interest rates Americans need.
Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s semiannual appearance starts Tuesday as he delivers the Federal Reserve's monetary policy report to the House Financial Services Committee, followed by the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday.

Fed Governor Michelle Bowman Backs July Rate Cut, Citing 'Contained' Inflation Pressure: 'Impact Of Tariffs...May Take Longer'

U.S. futures were trading higher on Tuesday after a positive day of trading on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading higher.
President Donald Trump announced a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46066239/dow-futures-jump-over-200-points-as-trump-announces-ceasefire-but-iran-says-no-agreement-crude-plunges">ceasefire</a>&#8221; in a Truth Social post, saying that "THE 12 DAY WAR" will be considered "ended." 
Despite this, the Foreign Minister of Iran, Syed Abbas Araghchi, refuted claims of a ceasefire, saying that there was "no agreement" for cessation of military operations, in a post on X.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist Jeremy Siegel expressed his opinions on the ongoing tensions as Trump announced a ceasefire.
&#8220;Geopolitics is a wildcard, but the U.S. is far less exposed than it was in the 1970s. Even a brief closure of the Strait of Hormuz would not derail domestic growth—shale capacity and strategic reserves mute the blow,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;I maintain that investors should stay overweight equities versus bonds,&#8221; he added, sayin that &#8220;don't just chase the AI enablers at high multiples to earnings; real margin expansion could very well accrue to users of AI—banks, industrial, consumer-staples, mid-cap firms that are learning where they can cut costs, increase output and improve margins.&#8221;
In its most recent note, BlackRock spotlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46068345/blackrock-bets-big-on-defense-companies-amid-escalating-geopolitical-tensions-palantir-lockheed-">defense sector as a top investment prospect</a>, fueled by escalating geopolitical fragmentation and a worldwide focus on national security.
As per BlackRock, the U.S. distinguishes itself through its extensive defense spending, which, according to SIPRI data, "spends more than double on defense than Europe."
Moreover, the U.S. hosts the world's most advanced defense and defense technology companies, acting as a vital provider of critical systems like air and missile defense for numerous countries.
Within the defense sector, BlackRock identifies substantial opportunities in defense tech. This expansive field includes not just artificial intelligence (AI) and software firms but also crucial IT services and hardware, such as semiconductors, that drive cutting-edge defense capabilities.
BlackRock observes that "growing geopolitical fragmentation and strategic competition in AI are reinforcing the global focus on national security and resilience – creating opportunities in defense." This highlights a targeted investment strategy in defense, where technological leadership and strong national security frameworks are increasingly critical.

According to a former Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) executive, the company is now aiming for something bigger, which goes beyond the purview of legacy streaming.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nflx">NFLX stock here</a>.
What Happened: On Monday, AlphaSense, an expert network that connects subject-matter experts with investors and analysts, shared the transcript of one such conversation between a former Netflix executive and an analyst, discussing the streaming giant&#8217;s future.
The expert here highlighted the company&#8217;s foray into building a physical, or real-world empire, not unlike that of the Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) with its theme parks, cruises, merchandise and more.
They cite the upcoming Netflix House, Squid Game trials, and Bridgerton-themed balls as more than just novelty, and a strategic bet on customer retention and diversified revenue streams.

&#8220;This isn't just about buzz,&#8221; the expert explained. &#8220;It's a revenue stream, a retention play, and a way to deepen loyalty, more like Disney's ecosystem than HBO's content-first model.&#8221;
&#8220;One of the reasons why I think people love Netflix so much is because it actually almost has like a personality to it,&#8221; he says, pointing to how the company blends content with cultural relevance.
&#8220;For Squid Game we had something called the Squid Game trials where you could go and play six real-life Squid Game events in person,&#8221; the former exec said, using this as an example to illustrate the company&#8217;s efforts in translating its intellectual property into immersive events.
These experiences, including pop-up attractions, themed balls, and the upcoming Netflix House, are already being treated as a revenue stream. But more importantly, they're part of a long-game retention and brand strategy, they say.
The longer-term implication, he suggested, is that Netflix's value proposition is evolving. No longer just a streaming app, the company is building an ecosystem where screen content connects directly to physical consumer touchpoints, from branded experiences and immersive events to merchandise and more.

Why It Matters: Last month, Netflix&#8217;s Co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, stated that the company had pumped $125 billion into the U.S. economy from 2020 through 2024, citing over 900 productions and 140,000 jobs across all 50 states during these four years.
&#8220;People forget this is a real business,&#8221; he says, highlighting the sector&#8217;s overlooked economic clout when it comes to trade talks and federal policies.
When the company first announced its experiential entertainment venues last year, many experts and analysts saw it as something that would help <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39439112/will-netflix-save-shopping-malls-new-experiences-a-potential-game-changer-for-retail-center">save shopping malls</a> in the U.S.
Price Action: Shares of Netflix were up 1.80% on Monday, trading at $1,253.54, and are up 0.60% after hours.

From 'Squid Game' Trials To Bridgerton Balls: Ex-Insider Says Netflix Is Quietly Building A Real-World Empire — A Disney-Style Ecosystem In The Works

Financial commentator Peter Schiff slammed Texas&#8217; move to establish a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve funded by the state treasury.
What Happened: Schiff took to X on Monday, voicing concerns about the legislative clearance given in the &#8220;Lone Star&nbsp;State&#8221; to use public funds to buy the apex cryptocurrency.
&#8220;Texas buying Bitcoin is yet another example of why the Founding Fathers distrusted democracy,&#8221; he said.
Schiff noted that wealthy Bitcoin investors, often known as whales, are buying off lawmakers to push such cryptocurrency-friendly measures and get political backing in exchange, all &#8220;at the expense of taxpayers&#8221; who fund the purchases.

Texas has already allocated $10 million for the purchase of the leading cryptocurrency, meant to be funded from the state treasury pool, according to a <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/06/23/texas-ready-for-10m-bitcoin-purchase-after-governor-signs-bill-for-state-reserve">report </a>by CoinDesk. The bill <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42476809/texas-joins-crypto-movement-introduces-bill-to-set-up-bitcoin-reserve">mandates </a>that only assets having a minimum market capitalization of $500 billion over a 24-month period would be eligible for inclusion in the reserve. Currently, only Bitcoin fits the bill.
Schiff&#8217;s criticism of Texas&#8217;s Bitcoin reserve is not surprising given his public opposition to anything associated with the apex cryptocurrency.
He previously warned that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44423999/peter-schiff-says-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-is-a-scam-to-lure-americans-into-buying-more-crypto">strategic national Bitcoin reserve</a> is a tool to trick Americans into speculative losses and that any government-backed crypto reserve would ultimately turn counterproductive.

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has recalled over 132,914 Lincoln Aviator SUVs over window bar and C-pillar issues.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/f">F stock here</a>.
What Happened: The defect applies to Aviator SUVs made between 2020 to 2025, an official filing with the NHTSA or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed on June 17, 2025.
"The rear door window bars and C-pillar trim may have insufficient adhesive bonding, which can allow the trim to detach from the vehicle," the filing by the NHTSA said.

The affected models would be recalled and fixed by the dealer free of charge, the regulator shared in its filing.
Why It Matters: This is another one in multiple recalls issued by the Detroit-based automakers in recent times. Earlier, the company also issued a recall for the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46012477/ford-recalls-over-197000-vehicles-for-backseat-issue-that-could-trap-occupants-in-emergency-situations"> Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> for a rear door issue, which could trap occupants inside the EV.
Ford also issued separate recalls for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739688/ford-recalls-over-29500-f-150-lightning-pickup-trucks-over-suspension-defect">F-150 Lightning</a> all-electric pickup truck over a suspension issue, as well as recalling over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45643704/ford-recalls-11-million-vehicles-for-camera-software-issue-report">1.1 million vehicles</a>, including the Bronco and the Edge, over camera software issues.
Elsewhere, the company says that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46020713/ford-says-upcoming-budget-ev-platform-will-rival-chinese-ev-prices-report">its budget EV platform</a>, due to arrive in 2027, could help the company rival its Chinese counterparts on cost-effectiveness.
"Ford intends to match the cost structure of leading Chinese players," Ford's VP for EVs Systems and Platform Programs, Lisa Drake, had said.

Klotho Neuroscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLTO), a US-based biogenetics company developing cell and gene- based treatments to address neurological conditions, including ALS, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD), has announced that it is partnering with Drs. Makoto Suzuki, Craig and Bradley Willcox, Richard Allsopp, and Michio Shimabukuro of the Okinawa Research Center for Longevity Science (ORCLS), as part of its research program on Okinawa, Japan, where a comparatively high number people live extremely long and healthy lives, many reaching 100 years and more.
&nbsp;
Okinawa is the original Blue Zone, validated by nearly five decades of groundbreaking research by ORCLS, which led to the discovery of other "longevity hotspots" - areas of the world with high concentrations of where people live to exceptional ages, extending not only their lifespans but their healthspans. KLTO has preliminary data from ORCLS suggesting the human alpha-Klotho gene and its secreted alpha-Klotho protein isoform (s-KL) may contribute to healthy longevity and lifespan. As we grow old, α-Klotho blood and tissue levels decrease. The decrease in tissue levels precedes the onset of multiple pathologies and diseases of human organ systems. Importantly, replenishing the s-KL levels using gene therapy may help protect against neurodegenerative disorders, muscle loss, bone loss and heart, liver and kidney disfunction associated with aging.

Israel accused Iran of violating the U.S.-brokered ceasefire Tuesday after detecting missile launches from Iranian territory, with Defense Minister Israel Katz ordering &#8220;high-intensity strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.&#8221;
What Happened: The accusation came hours after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social at 1:08 AM EST, declaring &#8220;The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!&#8221; 
Trump had announced a &#8220;complete and total ceasefire&#8221; between the nations Monday, outlining a phased timeline where Iran would initiate a 12-hour ceasefire six hours after his announcement, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46067020/trump-declares-israel-iran-ceasefire-now-in-effect-as-china-warns-of-spiraling-escalation-at-un">followed by Israel 12 hours later</a>.
Katz said the Israeli military would respond to &#8220;Iran&#8217;s blatant violation of the ceasefire declared by the President of the United States through the launch of missiles toward Israel,&#8221; Reuters reported. However, Iranian state media denied reports of any missile attack, according to state television.
The dispute follows Monday&#8217;s Israeli airstrikes on Tehran, including Iran&#8217;s Evin prison. Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir confirmed casualties in the prison&#8217;s administrative building, stating, &#8220;we had martyrs as well but the number is not yet defined.&#8221; The facility houses political prisoners and foreign nationals, prompting France to accuse Israel of endangering two French citizens, according to the Reuters report.

Why It Matters: Markets initially rallied on ceasefire news, with Dow futures jumping 200 points to 43,136. However, energy sectors declined sharply as oil prices fell 12.83% from last week&#8217;s $78.74 peak to $68.63 per barrel. United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) dropped 11.0% while SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) fell 5.69%.
The tensions escalated after U.S. B-2 bombers from Northrop Grumman Corp. struck three Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday, targeting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46067020/trump-declares-israel-iran-ceasefire-now-in-effect-as-china-warns-of-spiraling-escalation-at-un">Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sites in a 36-hour mission</a>.

Israel Says Iran Broke Trump Ceasefire, Orders 'High-Intensity Strikes' On Tehran

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday eliminated judicial restrictions on the Trump administration&#8217;s controversial third-country deportation program, allowing the government to resume sending migrants to nations other than their home countries without mandatory due process hearings. 
What Happened: The unsigned 6-3 decision marks a significant legal victory for President Donald Trump&#8216;s mass deportation initiative, which has already strained federal budgets and impacted labor-intensive sectors, Reuters reported.
The court lifted Boston-based U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy&#8217;s April 18 order that required migrants facing third-country deportation receive a &#8220;meaningful opportunity&#8221; to demonstrate potential torture risks at their destination. 
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by liberal justices, called the majority decision a &#8220;gross abuse&#8221; of judicial power, warning that &#8220;thousands will suffer violence in far-flung locales.&#8221;
The ruling comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces a $1 billion budget shortfall with three months remaining in the fiscal year, according to recent reports. ICE&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967200/ice-could-run-out-of-money-in-weeks-trumps-immigration-push-now-threatens-to-break-the-budget-report">current arrest quota of 3,000 daily immigrants</a>, up from 1,000 under previous guidance, has pushed detention facilities beyond their 41,000-bed capacity. 
The Department of Homeland Security has reallocated nearly $500 million to immigration operations but requires an additional $2 billion by September to avoid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967200/ice-could-run-out-of-money-in-weeks-trumps-immigration-push-now-threatens-to-break-the-budget-report">violating federal spending laws</a>.

Why It Matters: Recent ICE workplace raids have targeted labor-intensive sectors including agriculture, hospitality and retail operations. Home Depot Inc. stores faced enforcement actions in California, while the administration reversed guidance that had temporarily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45966899/ice-raids-return-to-farms-hotels-and-restaurants-as-dhs-reverses-course-escalating-trumps-crackdown-on-illegal-immigration-report">paused raids on farms, hotels and restaurants</a>.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the court&#8217;s decision &#8220;reaffirms the president&#8217;s authority to remove criminal illegal aliens&#8221; and advance public safety objectives. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded with &#8220;Fire up the deportation planes.&#8221;
Immigration enforcement has prompted widespread protests across Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle, leading to the deployment of over 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to California. This marks the first federal National Guard activation without <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45966899/ice-raids-return-to-farms-hotels-and-restaurants-as-dhs-reverses-course-escalating-trumps-crackdown-on-illegal-immigration-report">gubernatorial consent since 1965</a>.

Trump's Deportation Flights Get Supreme Court Greenlight: DHS Says 'Fire Up The…Planes' Amid ICE Budget Crisis, Nationwide Protests

BlackRock, in its latest note, highlighted the defense sector as a prime investment opportunity, driven by accelerating geopolitical fragmentation and a global emphasis on national security.
What Happened: The financial giant is sharpening its focus on specific regions and technologies, with a strong preference for the United States.
According to BlackRock, the U.S. stands out due to its substantial defense expenditure, which, as SIPRI data indicates, &#8220;spends more than double on defense than Europe.&#8221;
Furthermore, the U.S. is home to the most sophisticated defense and defense technology firms, serving as a key supplier for critical systems like air and missile defense for many nations.
Within the defense sector, BlackRock highlights significant prospects in defense tech. This broad category encompasses not only artificial intelligence (AI) and software companies but also essential IT services and hardware, such as semiconductors, that power advanced defense capabilities.
The firm anticipates that numerous private defense tech companies could launch initial public offerings (IPOs) in the coming years, offering public market investors new avenues into this expanding theme. Space tech is another area of interest, expected to benefit from intensifying strategic competition.
BlackRock notes that &#8220;growing geopolitical fragmentation and strategic competition in AI are reinforcing the global focus on national security and resilience – creating opportunities in defense.&#8221; This underscores a selective approach to defense investments, where technological superiority and robust national security infrastructure are becoming paramount.
Here&#8217;s a list of some defense and defense tech stocks and global exchange-traded funds that investors could consider.

Why It Matters: The futures of the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 indices rose on Tuesday as the investors overlooked a significant surge in Middle East tensions, triggered by Iran's missile attacks on U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq, which occurred just 48 hours following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social on Monday, announcing a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46066239/dow-futures-jump-over-200-points-as-trump-announces-ceasefire-but-iran-says-no-agreement-crude-plunges">Complete and Total CEASEFIRE</a>," at which point, he says, "THE 12 DAY WAR" will be considered "ended." 
However, the Foreign Minister of Iran, Syed Abbas Araghchi, refuted claims of a ceasefire, saying that there was "no agreement" for cessation of military operations, in a post on X.

Earnings Scheduled For June 24, 2025

Two U.S. lawmakers are being called out after disclosing their stock purchases involving defense contractor L3Harris Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>), in the lead up to conflict with Iran, while serving on the Congressional Armed Services Committee.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker, which tracks the trades made by politicians, highlighted one such trading disclosure in recent weeks, involving Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) and Rep. Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.).
The post sheds light on the fact that these two lawmakers, who serve on Armed Services Committees in Congress, have bought shares of L3Harris over the past month, in the lead up to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46065102/trump-says-there-is-a-ceasefire-between-isreal-and-iran">conflict between Israel and Iran</a>, in which the U.S. played a significant role.

&#8220;This shouldn't be legal,&#8221; the post says, given the deep ties that contractors such as L3Harris, which sells weapons systems and classified communications infrastructure, have with the government.

Why It Matters: Just recently, the same account reported on three Congressional representatives purchasing shares of IDEXX Laboratories Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDXX#NASDAQ">IDXX</a>) while serving on a committee that was directly tied to the &#8220;National Biotech Initiative Act of 2025,&#8221; which was expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45880762/three-lawmakers-bought-this-biotech-stock-before-supporting-a-bill-that-could-boost-its-value-its-now-up-44">create substantial tailwinds</a> for the company.
This comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44831847/justin-wolfers-when-tweets-move-markets-lawmakers-trading-stocks-is-simply-absurd">growing calls for a ban</a> on Congressional stock trading, with economist Justin Wolfers calling it &#8220;simply absurd&#8221; that representatives are allowed to trade stocks while regularly receiving &#8220;top secret briefings&#8221; and information.
The outsized gains reported in the private portfolios of political leaders have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for instance, has famously outperformed several leading hedge funds, with gains of 65% in 2023 and 54% in 2024.
Her performance, however, pales in comparison to those of her colleagues, who&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45880762/three-lawmakers-bought-this-biotech-stock-before-supporting-a-bill-that-could-boost-its-value-its-now-up-44">returned 70% to 149%</a> over the past year, fueling concerns regarding a conflict of interest.
Price Action: Shares of L3Harris were up 0.58% on Monday, trading at $251.11, but are down 1.64% after hours, following the de-escalation of tensions between Iran and Israel.

Two US Lawmakers On The Armed Services Committee Quietly Snapped Up L3Harris Shares Leading Up To Iran Tensions: 'This Shouldn't Be Legal'

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) successfully launched its second batch of Kuiper satellites, heightening the rivalry with Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX.
What Happened: On Monday, 27 new Kuiper satellites were launched into low Earth orbit, furthering Amazon&#8217;s ambitious Project Kuiper, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/23/amazon-kuiper-satellites-musk-starlink.html">CNBC</a> reported. The launch was conducted by a United Launch Alliance rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This mission had been postponed twice due to unfavorable weather conditions and a rocket booster issue. The new satellites add to the 27 Kuiper satellites Amazon successfully launched in April, marking the early phase of the company's planned 3,236-satellite constellation.
&#8220;We have ignition and lift&nbsp;off of United Launch Alliance&nbsp;Atlas V rocket carrying satellites&nbsp;for Amazon&#8217;s Project Kuiper internet&nbsp;constellation, continuing a new chapter&nbsp;in low Earth orbit satellite&nbsp;connectivity,&#8221; announced&nbsp;Ben Chilton, an ordnance engineer&nbsp;at ULA, during the livestream.
Founded by Jeff Bezos, Amazon is directly competing with SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink, which currently leads the market with 8,000 satellites in orbit. The Federal Communications Commission has issued a deadline to Amazon&nbsp;to launch half of its total constellation, i.e.,&nbsp;1,618 satellites, by July 2026.
The company has secured more than 80 launch agreements with multiple providers, including SpaceX, to deploy its Kuiper satellites into orbit.

Why It Matters: Amazon&#8217;s entry into the satellite internet market in April 2025 marked the beginning of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/45058299/elon-musks-starlink-empire-gets-new-challenger-in-shape-of-jeff-bezos-amazon-project-kuiper-deploys-first-operational-satellites">high-stakes</a> battle with SpaceX. The launch of the first operational satellites for its ambitious Project Kuiper signaled Amazon&#8217;s intent to challenge Starlink&#8217;s dominance.
Moreover, Amazon has been actively retraining its warehouse workers for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46012441/amazon-retrains-warehouse-workers-for-satellite-jobs-it-really-is-life-changing-says-project-kuiper-technician">satellite jobs</a>, as part of its upskilling initiative. This move is transforming the company&#8217;s workforce and contributing to the emergence of Washington state as the nation's commercial space hub.
