Delta Taps Amazon for Wi-Fi, McCormick Buys Unilever’s Food Business for $45 Billion

Delta Airlines announced a deal to equip 500 planes with Amazon's Leo satellite internet starting in 2028, promising speeds three to five times faster than current airline Wi-Fi—enough for 4K video streaming. This helps Amazon challenge SpaceX's Starlink, which dominates with deals at United, Southwest, and others, backed by thousands of satellites. Delta already relies on Amazon Web Services for operations, and CEO Ed Bastian envisions deeper ties, like personalized in-flight content, potentially including Amazon Prime Video on seatback screens.

Markets dipped Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.4% and Nasdaq off 0.7%, ending a streak of gains every Monday since the Iran war began. The shift ties to fading trust in weekend headlines amid closed Strait of Hormuz, pushing oil higher: Brent at $116/barrel, WTI above $100 for the first time since 2022. National gas prices topped $4/gallon, up over a dollar in a month, raising risks of demand destruction as consumers and businesses cut energy use. Reports note global energy emergencies, with uncertainty over reopening Hormuz—even a Wall Street Journal piece suggests Trump might end the war without it.
