Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore three major stories shaping the global financial and geopolitical landscape. First, the United States signals a new approach to intervention in Argentina’s crisis by deploying its rare Exchange Stabilization Fund to counter China’s growing influence. We’ll analyze what this means for emerging market debt and the broader geopolitical balance. Next, India’s ambitious $18 billion investment in mature-node semiconductor manufacturing could trigger a global supply glut and provoke anti-dumping measures from the US and Europe. We’ll examine how India’s intellectual property framework may impact its goal of becoming a credible “China+1” alternative for Western companies. Finally, we delve into TikTok’s algorithm overhaul under Oracle’s oversight, creating a unique “algorithm fork” regulatory precedent for its 170 million US users. We discuss the potential consequences of isolating the US algorithm from global data, including risks to user experience and the platform’s advertising revenue.
