S&P Wants to Know Everything About Private Money

S&P Global Inc. (NYSE: SPGI) just made a bold $1.8 billion bet on the secretive world of private markets by acquiring With Intelligence.

The deal gives S&P an instant edge in tracking private equity, venture capital, and alternative credit—areas where data has always been hard to come by.

You might not realize how big this shift is until you see how much private capital now shapes global investing.

By unlocking better data, S&P is helping you understand the money movements that used to stay hidden.

Turning Opacity Into Opportunity

Private markets have exploded as investors search for growth beyond traditional stocks and bonds.

With Intelligence’s analytics platform will help S&P turn raw data into the kind of actionable insight that drives billion-dollar decisions.

You can think of it as S&P upgrading from telescope to microscope—seeing every move in private deal-making before others do.

For financial pros, that clarity can mean the difference between guessing and winning.

The Bigger Battle for Financial Insight

This acquisition puts S&P Global in the same competitive arena as BlackRock and other data-heavy giants.

By bridging the gap between public and private market intelligence, the company is future-proofing its dominance in financial transparency.

If you’ve ever wondered where the next wave of Wall Street power will come from, S&P just gave you the answer.

The real game now lies in who controls the data that moves the world’s money.

Infrastructure

The $40 Billion Reason BlackRock Now Owns the World’s AI Engine Room

A global investor group led by BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) has closed a $40 billion deal to buy Aligned Data Centers, one of the largest operators of computing infrastructure on the planet.

The acquisition gives the group control of nearly 80 facilities across the U.S. and Latin America, locking in more than 5 gigawatts of existing and planned capacity.

You can think of this as owning the factories of the AI age. The massive power hubs where algorithms come to life.

If you’ve ever wondered where AI gets its horsepower, this is where it’s built, cooled, and monetized.

Where Capital Meets Computer

Demand for AI processing has turned data centers into one of the most valuable assets in tech.

These facilities now blend the reliability of energy investments with the scale of digital infrastructure, creating a new frontier for institutional money.

You can see why investors are chasing these deals: data capacity is becoming the oil of the digital world. BlackRock’s move ensures it owns a critical piece of that supply chain.

The Real AI Gold Rush

For BlackRock, this is dominance. The firm is evolving from an asset manager into an architect of digital infrastructure, with compute capacity as its newest currency.

If you’re tracking the next trillion-dollar opportunity, start looking at who powers the machines rather than who trains them.

The winners in the AI era might just be the ones who own the plugs.

Energy

The Rare Earth Play That’s Suddenly Not So Rare

MP Materials (NYSE: MP) just rocketed more than 20 percent in a single session after geopolitical tension with China sent investors scrambling for safe, strategic plays.

You could say the company’s Mountain Pass mine in California became the new front line of economic competition overnight.

You might not usually care about who digs what from where, but this story hits differently when it ties directly to America’s control of rare earths, the essential metals for everything from EVs to fighter jets.

MP now looks less like a mining stock and more like a government-backed necessity.

How a Miner Became a Moment

For years, MP shipped its raw materials to China for processing, missing out on the real profits.

That changed when it scaled up its own separation facility, allowing it to process high-value rare earth oxides right at home.

You can see why this move matters.

It turned MP into the only scaled producer of these critical materials in the Western Hemisphere, giving investors a play that aligns with both profit and policy.

From Commodity to Strategy

The recent rally shows Wall Street is finally pricing in what Washington already knows—MP isn’t just a business, it’s a security asset.

With the U.S. Department of Defense and Apple backing its supply chain, MP is now in a league few can touch.
