Global AI spending is set to surge by 60% in 2025, reaching $360 billion, and is projected to rise another 33% to $480 billion in 2026. The share of spending by major tech firms—Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta—will decline from 58% to 52%, with China expected to contribute significantly, accounting for 35% of non-Big Four spending. Emerging players, including Neocloud providers, are anticipated to capture around 25% of this market, indicating a healthier distribution of investments across the sector.
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman praised "Buffett & Munger Unscripted," a book by Alex Morris that compiles decades of investment wisdom from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, as “a great book.” This endorsement comes as Buffett prepares to step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, marking the end of a remarkable career. The book highlights key investment principles and showcases how Buffett and Munger transformed Berkshire into a multi-billion dollar conglomerate.
Huawei has launched the MateBook X Pro 2024 Linux Edition, priced at 10,399 yuan for the Ultra7/16GB + 1TB variant and 11,399 yuan for the Ultra7/32GB + 1TB variant, with a national subsidy reducing the starting price to 8,399 yuan. This new model comes as the company shifts away from Windows due to expiring licenses amid U.S. sanctions, offering users the option to install different operating systems. The laptop features a 14.2-inch display with a 3120 x 2080 resolution, Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, and a 70Wh battery with 140W fast charging.
The financial markets have rebounded despite ongoing global turmoil, with US equities returning to pre-April levels, while the economy shows signs of strain, including negative GDP growth and disrupted trade flows. The Fed is cautious, monitoring the impact of tariffs on inflation, and uncertainty persists in market reactions. Investors are advised to align their portfolios for the long term, focusing on solid companies and maintaining liquidity amid unpredictable US policies.
At the WAVES 2025 summit in Goa, Shraddha Kapoor and Instagram Head Adam Mosseri discussed India's pivotal role in the digital revolution, emphasizing its mobile-first approach and diverse creator ecosystem. Kapoor highlighted the significance of multilingual content and cultural inclusivity, while sharing Maharashtra's culinary heritage by offering Mosseri homemade puran poli, symbolizing the blend of tradition and digital interaction.
Warren Buffett announced he will step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of 2025, recommending Greg Abel as his successor. Tributes poured in from business leaders, praising Buffett's extraordinary career, integrity, and philanthropic efforts, with many expressing confidence in Abel's leadership.
Chinese investors continue to accumulate gold despite a recent price correction, with buying interest expected around $3190. Meanwhile, the USD/JPY has strengthened following the Bank of Japan's decision to maintain interest rates at 0.5%, while the Fed and BoE prepare for key rate decisions amid mixed economic signals. The Hang Seng Index rose 2.4% on optimism from China's economic support measures, despite a contraction in US GDP.
The Treasury has warned Defra of a potential £4 billion bill if Thames Water is nationalised. This financial threat underscores the complexities surrounding the management and future of the water utility, which is facing significant operational challenges.
Warren Buffett criticized President Trump's tariff policies during Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting, stating, “Trade should not be a weapon,” and emphasizing the importance of global trade cooperation. Despite a significant drop in earnings, with operating income down 14% and net income nearly 64% lower, Berkshire's cash reserves reached a record $347.7 billion as Buffett continued to sell more stocks than he purchased. The meeting attracted notable figures from the business world, including Bill Gates and Tim Cook.
Warren Buffett's "Buffett Indicator," which compares the total value of U.S. publicly traded companies to the country's GDP, signals that equities may be attractively priced at around 180%. This level, reminiscent of past market bubbles, comes as the S&P 500 has rebounded 12% from April lows, despite ongoing concerns about global trade tensions. Traders are keenly observing Berkshire Hathaway's upcoming annual meeting for potential insights into Buffett's investment strategies amid a recovering market.
