It's 'unclear' if US AI chip controls work: Strategist
The US government is reportedly considering capping chip sales to certain countries. The move would affect chipmakers like Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Macrolens chief strategist and managing principal Brian McCarthy joins Seana Smith on Catalysts to discuss the potential export rules and how they could affect the global artificial intelligence (AI) race. “It's unclear whether yesterday's news suggesting there could be tightened restrictions on the UAE and Saudi Arabia is or isn't related to those countries possibly funneling chips to China because it's very hard to sort of bottle up China's access to these chips through third parties,” McCarthy tells Yahoo Finance. He explains that despite the US limiting chip exports to China due to national security risks, widespread smuggling of the tech persists. Due to chip smugglers, “There are many, many holes in this net,” McCarthy says, adding the US government’s export rules are doing something as “clearly the cost of accessing these chips has gone up for Chinese entities, but the net has a lot of holes in it, and it's really unclear how effective these controls are slowing China's ambitions in the AI and other related spaces.” The strategist says beyond the effectiveness of the rules of keeping the chips out of China another question is how much national defense prerogatives “are tied up in the economic race.” He adds, “That’s really unclear to what extent each of those factors is driving US policy at this point. Clearly, AI has a lot of applications in defense that it's important that each side feels it's important that they have access to. As far as the economic stuff goes, it’s interesting to speculate as to whether that may change.” “I know [China is] behind in chips, and [the US will] continue to move forward." McCarthy adds “it is a question of whether there's justification on economic grounds to be trying to halt the advancement of any country that's just trying to build businesses.” McCarthy notes his view that the US doesn’t “really need to go out of our way to halt China's economic advancement. They have plenty of domestic problems that they are contending with at this point.” To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Wealth here.

The Fed only needs to cut by 25bps for rest of 2024: Strategist
Investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming November meeting, questioning how aggressively the central bank might continue its rate-cutting cycle. Principal Asset Management chief global strategist Seema Shah joins Morning Brief to discuss the outlook. Shah characterizes current economic data as "very, very volatile," emphasizing the seasonality within various reports, particularly in the labor market. While she notes that labor market reports indicate some cooling, it's "nothing too concerning." However, she cautions against drawing conclusions from any data point when predicting the Fed's monetary policy direction. According to Shah, the broader trend of economic moderation suggests a normalization period is underway, which could ease some monetary restrictiveness. She believes a measured approach with 25 basis point reductions in November and December would be appropriate. Regarding the impact on investors, Shah offered an optimistic outlook: "As we look out over the coming months because we're expecting a soft landing, continued rate cuts, that is a sweet spot for risk assets. We think there's continued upside for equities," she told Yahoo Finance, adding: "In this environment, you probably want to be extending duration."

Why are North-Korea-South Korea tensions currently so high?
STORY: North Korea destroyed sections of roads and rail lines on its side of the heavily fortified border between the two Koreas on Tuesday...... in what South Korean officials have called a "highly abnormal" act and a violation of past inter-Korean agreements.::FileIt's the latest escalation between the two countries, which are technically still at war.But what has caused this most recent reaction? :: How has North Korea recently ramped up its rhetoric?As well as blowing up roads and railways, North Korea on Sunday (October 13) said it had put eight fully armed artillery units at the border "on standby to open fire."And, on Wednesday, these pictures were released as state media reported that around 1.4 million young people have signed up or returned to the military.Previously similar claims during heightened tensions have been made. Such statements from the isolated state are difficult to verify.:: October 13, 2024Earlier this month, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, called a military parade held in South Korea's capital for its Armed Forces Day a "clown show"...... downplaying the South's military capabilities in a statement carried by state media.:: Why have tensions risen?The build up in tensions comes after North Korea accused Seoul last week of sending drones over Pyongyang scattering anti-North leaflets.::October 7, 2024An analyst from South Korea said North Korea seems to be using the incident to rally people against the South, in line with its push to sever cross-border ties and promote a "two-state" system.An official at Seoul's unification ministry handling inter-Korean affairs said Pyongyang might be seeking to consolidate people's unity and build logic for a provocation by exaggerating tension against the South.There also seemed to be public pressure on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over economic challenges, the official said.The neighbors have also clashed over balloons carrying trash floated since May from the North, which it said were a response to a previous anti-Pyongyang leaflet drop.:: How are South Korea and allies responding?The United States, South Korea and Japan on Wednesday announced the launch of a new multinational team.The goal to monitor the enforcement of sanctions against North Korea, after Russia and China thwarted activities at the United Nations.Here's U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell: “The potential for this to be a major effort in tracking and holding to account steps that North Korea is taking across a range of provocative actions is real, and we look forward to it taking shape in the months and years ahead.”Early this year, Kim declared South Korea a "primary foe" and said unification was no longer possible.Seoul's defense ministry has warned if North Korea inflicts harm on the safety of South Koreans, that day will be "the end of its regime."
