À propos de ce contenu audio

 As of January 12, today’s news highlights significant developments surrounding the Federal Reserve, U.S.-China relations, and the latest advancements in energy and technology sectors. The most notable highlight involves mounting pressure from President Donald Trump's administration on the Federal Reserve, targeting Chair Jerome Powell with threats of criminal indictment. This escalates an ongoing effort by Trump to exert greater control over the Fed, particularly concerning interest rates that he wishes to see cut. Meanwhile, Apple will use Google's Gemini models for its revamped Siri coming later this year under a multi-year deal that deepens the tech giants' alliance in the artificial intelligence era and bolsters Alphabet's position in the race against OpenAI. The deal announced Monday marks a major vote of confidence for Google. Turning to market updates, copper prices have shown an upward trend, inching towards record highs due to optimistic forecasts for demand in China, largely driven by the growth of data centers essential for artificial intelligence technologies. Benchmark copper prices recently rose by 1.6% to approximately 13,205 dollars per metric ton, buoyed by expectations for strong industrial demand, particularly in the electric vehicle sector and power grids. Meanwhile, Financial Times reported that Siemens Energy was the second-best performing German blue-chip stock in 2025, with its shares more than doubling, but the dramatic recovery has been too slow for some investors who see its struggling wind business weighing down its valuation. Looking at global scenarios, major oil companies have provided a sobering perspective on Trump's ambitious plans to invest in Venezuela's oil industry. The complexities surrounding security and legal matters pose significant hurdles to revitalizing the country’s production capabilities. The recent meeting between Trump and oil producers was perceived as a publicity win for the president but fell short of securing strong commitments for substantial investments. From Europe, the EU has established firm conditions for Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers to circumvent tariffs by committing to minimum pricing structures. This initiative aims to protect the European automotive industry from an influx of budget-friendly imports, an issue that has fueled trade tensions. Lastly, concerns have arisen over Trump's statements regarding Greenland, with European officials warning that a U.S. military takeover could jeopardize NATO's stability. This geopolitical tension has prompted discussions within both Denmark and the U.S. about the territory's future, underscoring the heightened global uncertainties.
