Following regulatory agencies antitrust investigations, Nvidia successfully paid $700 million to purchase the Israeli AI company Runai.

The Commission determined that the transaction would not present any serious risks despite early concerns that it would hurt competition.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Warns of Possible Debt Default by January 14

The Treasury may have to take "extraordinary measures" to prevent a debt default as early as January 14, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned l

The Treasury may have to take "extraordinary measures" to prevent a debt default as early as January 14, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned legislators in a recent letter. Yellen called on Congress to take immediate action to protect the United States creditworthiness. She said a planned redemption for Medicare is expected to reduce the U.S. debt by about $54 billion. Between January 14 and January 23, the Treasury is anticipated to hit the debt ceiling, requiring these unprecedented steps. The budget agreement for 2023 allowed for the continuation of operations by suspending the debt cap until January 1, 2025. Nevertheless, Congress must take action to handle the growing debt, a persistent problem since the first debt ceiling was set in 1939. Read More..

Russias ambassador to Beijing, Igor Morgulov, has claimed that Chinese President Xi Jinping is anticipated to travel to Russia in 2025. He reaffirmed that preparations for bilateral events are underway, highlighting the importance of Xis visit. This comes after higherlevel meetings in the past, such as Putins trips to China in February 2022 and May 2023. China is aware of the current situation in Ukraine and faces comparable difficulties due to pressure from the United States and NATO, Morgulov emphasised. To counter alleged Western "dual deterrence," both countries want to work together. In addition, Russia has backed a peace plan that China and Brazil have put up for Ukraine. Still, Ukraine has rejected it as serving Moscows interests amid unresolved territorial disputes. Read More..

Vanguard and the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have reached a deal to strengthen restrictions on the investment management companys capacit

Vanguard and the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have reached a deal to strengthen restrictions on the investment management companys capacity to purchase sizable shares in major US banking institutions.

To ensure adherence to these new regulations, the FDIC will carefully monitor Vanguards dealings with bank management. As of right now, no such deal with BlackRock has been documented. Read More..

As central banks attempt to lower interest rates in the wake of large inflation shocks, the global economy enters 2025 amid escalating geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures.

Careful central banks like the Bank of England weigh interest rate reductions against ongoing inflation and wage increases. Furthermore, governments face increased borrowing costs in a market where bond investors can expect higher returns, making fiscal policies more difficult if deficits continue to rise. Read More..
