Introduction:
In this episode, we dive into a brewing conflict within the Federal Reserve as Governor Christopher Waller calls for a more aggressive interest rate cut, citing hidden job losses and a weakening labor market. Next, we examine Alibaba’s bold move to develop its own AI chip amid escalating US-China tech tensions, a strategy that’s driving its stock higher while dealing a blow to Nvidia. We also spotlight Chinese AI chipmaker Cambricon’s remarkable 4,000 percent revenue surge. Shifting to Europe, we analyze the stalled banking merger wave in Italy, where the government’s use of “golden power” has blocked a €15 billion deal, even as UniCredit quietly amasses a significant stake in Germany’s Commerzbank.
