Asian stocks are up today, with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index rising by 1.2%. The excitement is largely driven by the successful IPO of Anthropic, which has given a significant boost to chip shares.

Ninth Circuit Upholds Block On Trump's Federalization Of California National Guard, Rejecting "Rebellion" Claim
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a block on Trump’s attempt to federalize 4,000 California National Guard troops, ruling 2-1 that he exceeded his authority. The court found that the administration failed to demonstrate the need for federalization under the relevant statutes, particularly after a Supreme Court ruling clarified the president's responsibilities. The court defined "rebellion" narrowly, stating the protests didn’t meet the criteria, as they were focused on a specific issue rather than an organized uprising.
Despite some violence during the protests, the court noted there was no evidence of coordinated efforts to challenge the government. The ruling primarily serves as precedent, as the troops have already returned home, and California’s Attorney General hailed it as a win for the rule of law.

Anthropic is gearing up for its IPO, and it’s creating quite a buzz, especially in Asian markets. The focus is on who can actually subscribe to this offering.
