Markets saw continued pressure Thursday as broader AI related fears continued to roil Wall Street. A selloff of shares in US companies perceived to be under threat from artificial intelligence spread across sectors, including more insulated corners of the market like industrials, to send all market gauges lower. Technology names, such as Cisco., AppLovin and Tyler Technologies led the decline. Cisco plunged 12% as investors are concerned hardware and memory-chip prices are weighing on the company’s outlook. Consumer staples and utilities were the top-performing sectors as investors continued to pile into defensive groups. Raphael Thuin, Head of Capital Markets Strategies at Tikehau Capital, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
Glass House Analysis
Inflation is the silent tax that erodes purchasing power, hitting hardest those who can least afford it. When grocery bills rise faster than wages, families face impossible choices between food, medicine, and rent. Unlike market volatility that mainly affects investors, inflation touches everyone who buys groceries, fills a gas tank, or pays rent.
Corporate decisions reverberate through local communities—a merger might mean headquarters relocating, a restructuring could eliminate jobs, and strategic shifts affect suppliers and service providers in countless towns. Behind quarterly earnings numbers are real employment decisions, investment choices, and community impacts that shape the economic landscape of regions across the country.
Energy prices affect virtually every aspect of daily life—from commuting costs to heating bills to the price of groceries (which must be transported). For working families, energy represents one of the most volatile and impactful line items in their budgets. Energy policy decisions ripple through the economy, affecting everything from manufacturing competitiveness to household financial stress.
The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
