GS says very small effects of the 10% tariff on Europe

"While implementation is highly uncertain, we estimate that a 10% tariff would lower real GDP in the affected European countries by 0.1-0.2% via lower exports. The inflation effects would likely be very small and a Taylor rule would point to modestly lower policy rates, all else equal." Source: TME

🚨 Why JPMorgan's Desk Thinks The Greenland Standoff Ends In A Bullish "Negotiated Arrangement" 🚨

The headlines are screaming "Trade War." JPMorgan’s desk is whispering "Opportunity." 📈 While the media focuses on the chaos, JPM’s International Market Intel team is looking at the scoreboard. Here is why they think the "Greenland Standoff" is actually a bullish signal for 2026: 1. It’s a Negotiation, Not an Invasion. 🤝 Federico Manicardi (JPM) calls it straight: This is classic Art of the Deal. Trump throws out a maximalist stance (10% EU tariffs / buying Greenland) to create leverage and urgency. The goal? A "Negotiated Arrangement," not a sale. 2. The "Bullish" Outcome. 🐂 JPM expects a deal where: ✅ Denmark keeps sovereignty. ✅ The US gets Arctic security & missile defense upgrades. ✅ Access to critical natural resources is secured. Result? Uncertainty clears, and the 2026 growth reboot stays on track. 3. The "Tail Risks" are Overblown. 🧊 An actual invasion? "Melts NATO faster than Arctic ice" and polls horribly. A sale? Unlikely and unnecessary. JPM sees the downside limited to a mid-single-digit (MSD) drop at worst before the rebound. 4. Eyes on Davos. 🏔️ With Trump addressing the World Economic Forum tomorrow, expect the rhetoric to shift from "threats" to "affordability and growth." The Bottom Line: Volatility is a gift if you understand the playbook. The market is anticipating a growth reboot, and JPM believes this "orange flag" is just noise on the path to a deal.

Enterprise AI adoption is booming!

In '25, 76% of AI use cases were purchased by enterprises, rather than built internally (vs. 53% in '24). Enterprise AI software refers to artificial intelligence applications specifically designed for large-scale organizations to automate complex business processes, improve decision-making, and enhance productivity across departments like HR, finance, and supply chain. Unlike consumer AI (like a personal chatbot), enterprise AI is built with a focus on security, scalability, and integration with existing corporate systems like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Source: Puru Saxena @saxena_puru
