Introduction:
In this episode, we explore the latest economic shifts impacting markets and industries worldwide. UK inflation unexpectedly rose to 3.8% in July, driven by a sharp 30.2% spike in airfares and rising food prices, complicating the Bank of England’s monetary policy decisions. Meanwhile, US tech stocks, including AI leaders like Nvidia and Palantir, have pulled back significantly after a strong rally, raising questions about the sustainability of AI-driven gains ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s critical Jackson Hole speech. Lastly, new US tariffs on Chinese graphite anode materials are fueling a strategic move by India’s Epsilon Advanced Materials, which is racing to build a $650 million factory in North Carolina to supply the booming EV battery market.
