Introduction:

In today's episode, we delve into three critical stories shaping the financial and technological landscape. First, we explore the surge in U.S. subprime auto loan delinquencies, which have reached 15.2% amid the collapse of a key lender. This alarming trend raises concerns of a potential credit crunch similar to 2008, with significant implications for consumer spending and Federal Reserve policy decisions. Next, we unpack Broadcom's recent stock surge of nearly 10% following the announcement of a major partnership with OpenAI to develop custom AI chips aimed at challenging Nvidia's dominance. We'll analyze Broadcom's strategic pivot toward specialized AI accelerators and what it means for the broader AI supply chain and market competition. Lastly, we cover a landmark class action lawsuit involving five major automakers in the UK. Accused of employing illegal software to cheat diesel emissions tests, these companies face a potentially massive financial liability that could impact their EV transition efforts and their ability to compete against Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
