A three-judge panel of the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided 2-1 with Kalshi in finding that the Commodity Exchange Act preempts state law and governs the sports-related event contracts it offers on its platform and that New Jersey gaming regulators cannot prevent Kalshi from allowing people in the state to use its prediction market to place bets on the outcome of sporting events, reported Reuters. Online sports betting companies include DraftKings (DKNG) and Flutter Entertainment (FLUT). Other publicly traded companies in the casino gaming space include Boyd Gaming (BYD), Caesars (CZR), Churchill Downs (CHDN), Gan Limited (GAN), Genius Sports (GENI), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), MGM Resorts (MGM), Penn Entertainment (PENN), Rush Street Interactive (RSI), Sportradar (SRAD) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN).

European Auto Industry Shifts to Defense Manufacturing Amid Crisis
- Crisis Deepens: The European automotive industry is experiencing a structural crisis characterized by slowing electric vehicle demand, lost market share to Chinese competitors, and rising borrowing costs, leading to sales volumes significantly below pre-pandemic levels, which adversely affects profitability and market confidence.
- Shift to Defense Manufacturing: Renault's announcement to develop ground-based drones and its partnership with defense group Turgis Gaillard for aerial drones indicate a strategic pivot by automakers seeking diversification in response to market challenges, aiming to leverage growth opportunities in the defense sector to alleviate current difficulties.
- Intensifying Market Competition: According to ACEA data, BYD reported a staggering 175% year-on-year increase in new car sales, reaching 13,982 units, while European automakers like Volkswagen have seen their stock prices plummet over 60% in the past five years, highlighting the strong performance of Chinese brands and the threat they pose to the European automotive industry.
- Employment and Ethical Challenges: Volkswagen plans to cut approximately 35,000 jobs by 2030, and while collaboration with Israeli defense firm Rafael may preserve some positions, unions warn that the significant differences in production models between the defense and automotive sectors make it unrealistic to resolve the structural issues facing the auto industry.
