Baidu Launches Autonomous Service with Uber in Dubai
Baidu (BIDU) announced that Apollo Go's autonomous vehicles are officially available to riders on the Uber (UBER) platform in Dubai, with New Horizon Luxury Transport serving as the fleet operator. Starting now, riders in Dubai can hail a fully driverless Apollo Go vehicle directly through the Uber app. The launch marks the first deployment built on the multi-year strategic partnership between the two parties to bring thousands of Apollo Go autonomous vehicles to the Uber platform across global markets. At initial launch in Dubai, the fully autonomous service will be available in select locations in Umm Suqeim and Jumeirah, with plans to expand the operating territory in the future. For trips within the service area, riders will have the opportunity to be matched with a fully driverless Apollo Go vehicle when booking an Uber Comfort or UberX, or by selecting the "Autonomous" option in the Uber app.
Major Averages Rise as Bond Yields Slip
The major averages were broadly higher near noon as bond yields slipped after the U.S. Treasury Department announced an increased buyback operation for longer-term debt. Investors are also eyeing stabilization following recent declines led by a sharp selloff in technology and semiconductor names.The Federal Reserve's July meeting minutes are the day's main catalyst, due at 2 p.m. ET. Investors will be looking for clues about the debate within the FOMC after the central bank held rates at 3.5%-3.75% in July. The minutes could be particularly important following the weak July employment report and relatively contained inflation data, which have reduced probabilities for a more hawkish September policy tilt, although rising oil prices and longer-term Treasury yields complicate the outlook.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.

Stock Futures Weaken as Oil Prices and Treasury Yields Rise
Stock futures are pointing to a weaker open as fading hopes for a U.S.-Iran peace agreement push oil prices and Treasury yields higher. Brent crude is rising as the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran comes under pressure, while the 30-year Treasury yield has climbed to around 5.33%, its highest level since 2007. The combination of higher oil and long-term yields is tightening financial conditions and making high-duration technology stocks particularly vulnerable.AI and semiconductor stocks are bearing the brunt of the selling. The weakness comes as investors reassess elevated valuations across the AI trade, with higher borrowing costs adding another headwind to companies whose valuations depend heavily on future growth.The retail sector is providing some support. Home Depot is gaining about 2% after reporting second-quarter sales above expectations, although the company said the housing market remains challenging. Investors will also look to Target and Walmart later this week for a clearer picture of consumer spending and the health of the U.S. consumer.The Federal Reserve's July meeting minutes, due Wednesday, are another catalyst. After the recent weak labor-market data and relatively benign inflation reports, investors have been looking for evidence that policymakers are becoming more comfortable with eventual rate cuts.
