    • Trump pressures the Fed as AI and copper surge - Jan 12, 2025

      Trump pressures the Fed as AI and copper surge - Jan 12, 2025
      Jan 12 2026
      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.

    • EU’s Mercosur deal advances amid tariff uncertainty - Jan 9, 2025

      EU’s Mercosur deal advances amid tariff uncertainty - Jan 9, 2025
      Jan 9 2026
      As of January 9, today’s news features the EU’s push on global trade agreements and renewed M&A activity in the mining industry. European Union countries backed a trade deal with the so-called Mercosur bloc of countries in South America, paving the way for the EU to sign its largest free-trade agreement next week. EU ambassadors supported the deal at a meeting in Brussels today, despite the opposition of France and a number of countries, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Meanwhile, Glencore shares rose by almost 10% today following news it is in talks with Rio Tinto about a potential takeover that would create the world's largest mining group, valued at almost 207 billion dollars. While Glencore gained, Rio Tinto shares fell by as much as 3%, reflecting investor scepticism towards a deal and concerns it will overpay. Turning to market updates, copper and nickel prices are anticipated to finish the week on a high note despite a recent selloff driven by profit-booking after favorable price rallies. The London Metal Exchange reported a rebound in copper prices, reflecting ongoing supply constraints, particularly in the U.S. The recent fluctuations in prices underscore the dual challenges of inflationary pressures and tariff-related uncertainties, influencing market dynamics significantly. Looking at broader macro trends, the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to announce rulings that may impact President Trump's global tariff regime, which has faced legal challenges questioning its legitimacy. This case could redefine presidential powers regarding economic controls, bearing implications for international trade and economic relations. In the energy sector, Barclays raised its price target for National Grid, referencing new growth opportunities in the UK energy landscape stemming from recent regulatory updates. Meanwhile, China is advocating for increased onsite renewable energy usage in industrial parks, indicating a strategic push for greener manufacturing processes. Amid these developments, U.S. President Donald Trump said he had canceled a second wave of attacks on Venezuela following cooperation from the South American nation.

    • Trump’s tariffs face the Court and the Markets React - Jan 8, 2025

      Trump’s tariffs face the Court and the Markets React - Jan 8, 2025
      Jan 8 2026
      As of January 8, today’s news is dominated by the potential implications of the U.S. Supreme Court's deliberations on President Trump's emergency tariff powers and the resulting market risks. The Supreme Court is poised to rule on whether Trump can legally impose tariffs through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with a decision expected soon, as reported by Reuters. Analysts warn that striking down these tariffs could have significant repercussions for financial markets, potentially leading to substantial government refunds amounting to tens of billions of dollars and heightened volatility across equity markets. Current predictions indicate a 30% likelihood that the court will uphold the tariffs, which if deemed unlawful, would disrupt government revenue and economic stability, leading to increased Treasury yields. In related tariff news, U.S. consumers are facing record high prices for aluminum due to a combination of domestic tariffs and global supply shortages. Since President Trump doubled the tariffs on aluminum imports to 50% last June, prices have surged by 40%, now exceeding 5,200 euros per metric ton. This escalation impacts manufacturing costs across various industries, intensifying inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, growth in the AI and defense sectors will boost global copper demand 50% by 2040, but supplies are expected to fall short by more than 10 million metric tons annually without more recycling and mining, the consultancy S&P Global said today. On the corporate landscape, American Electric Power has committed to a 2.65 billion dollars deal to significantly advance its solid oxide fuel cell capabilities. This move includes the acquisition of 1,000 megawatts of fuel cell technology as part of a strategic shift towards more sustainable energy solutions. In the realm of technology, Samsung Electronics is forecasting a record profit for the fourth quarter of this year, projecting a three-fold increase to approximately 13.82 billion dollars, largely driven by the burgeoning demand for AI and memory chip products. This surge underscores the competitive pressure as chipmakers struggle to keep pace with market needs. On the international stage, President Trump’s recent move to assert control over Venezuela's oil revenue and facilitate the import of previously sanctioned Venezuelan crude into the U.S. demonstrates a strategic pivot aimed at countering Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere. This approach signals stark shifts in both foreign policy and energy regulations, raising questions about the potential impact on U.S. oil companies caught in the crossfire.
