Media: Brussels has strengthened big technology regulation to make a big deal of Google. Tickets

On 15 July, according to the British Financial Times, a number of informed sources revealed that the European Commission planned to publish a series of sanctions decisions against Google in the coming week. This will further strengthen EU regulation of large science and technology enterprises as the tension between the EU and the United States over digital regulation begins to ease. According to an internal European Commission document and a number of persons with knowledge of the relevant plans, the EU law enforcement agencies will make a number of independent decisions against Google and impose fines amounting to hundreds of millions of euros. This enforcement action will also include the threat of daily punishment, as well as new regulatory directives under the Digital Market Act (DMA). Under the EU Digital Markets Act, offending enterprises may face fines of up to 10 per cent of their global turnover, while the Google parent company Alphabet received $40,283 million last year.

Morgan Chase: The opportunities for investment in artificial intelligence are not limited to technology giants

On 15 July, Madison Faller, a global investment strategist at the Morgan Chase Private Bank, stated that investors should look beyond the giants of technology to the entire artificial intelligence chain. “The story of artificial intelligence is not confined to a single industry; we are really concerned with capital-intensive assets that cannot be replaced”, she mentioned in particular semiconductors, infrastructure, utilities and industrial blocks. Fuller noted that the strong performance of science and technology companies was fully compatible with the broader market for profit growth. She added that, of the 11 industries covered by the Standard 500 Index, 10 were expected to grow in the current fiscal season. The Morgan Chase team expects that the Standard 500 index will yield a total return of nearly 10 per cent over the next year. They also expect a medium-digit rate of return for large European units. Faller stressed that the banking unit was a notable investment option for the region, given the improvement in fundamentals and the increase in dividends and stock buy-backs. Kim Xian

Dr. Doom Rubini warns that inflation is still the highest-risk US debt return in the market or up to 30 years

ON 15 JULY, RUBINI, A WELL-KNOWN ECONOMIST KNOWN FOR HIS PESSIMISTIC PROGNOSIS, KNOWN AS “DR. DOOM”, WARNED THAT INFLATION REMAINED THE GREATEST RISK TO MARKETS AND THAT KEY FACTORS DRIVING THE RISE IN INFLATION INCLUDED GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS, DE-GLOBALIZATION AND INCREASED GOVERNMENT SPENDING. RUBINI WARNED THAT IF INFLATION TRENDS CONTINUED TO RISE, THE RATE OF RETURN ON LONG-TERM BONDS COULD CHANGE DRAMATICALLY. HE INDICATED THAT IF THE UNITED STATES CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI) REACHED 5-6 PER CENT, THE RETURN ON UNITED STATES TREASURY DEBT COULD BE “CLOSE” TO 8 PER CENT OVER A 10-YEAR PERIOD. THIS WILL BE THE HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE 1994, UP SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE CURRENT LEVEL OF ABOUT 4.58 PER CENT. HE SUGGESTED THAT, IN ADDITION TO MARKET FACTORS, OTHER STRUCTURAL FACTORS COULD ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER RATES OF RETURN. FOR EXAMPLE, THE INCREASING LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT DEBT MEANT THAT THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE NEEDED TO ISSUE MORE BONDS. IF DEMAND DOES NOT RISE AT THE SAME TIME, AN INCREASE IN THE SUPPLY OF BONDS WILL LEAD TO HIGHER YIELDS。
