As global economic instability persists, the Fed acknowledges its inability to forecast future developments, opting to wait and observe changes. This indecision highlights how even the most influential financial institutions are grappling with the complexities of current economic conditions, necessitating cautious and adaptive strategies moving forward.

Traders are betting that the US central bank may make a more aggressive move to counteract the weakening labor market.

The Indian rupee hit a new all-time low against the US dollar, but performed better than other Asian currencies due to dollar sales from state-run banks. The rupee closed at 84.08 against the dollar, slightly down from the previous session. The US dollar has been strengthened by rising bets on a Donald Trump victory in the US presidential election and expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. While other Asian currencies saw declines, the rupee is not expected to experience significant volatility as the Reserve Bank of India is likely to limit large moves.

No One Actually Knows How AI Will Affect Jobs

Generative AI tools have the potential to transform the labor market, causing both increased productivity and job satisfaction, as well as concerns about mass unemployment and social upheaval. Mary Daly, CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, believes that generative AI can be used to augment workers rather than replacing them entirely. While technology has historically not reduced net employment, the outcome depends on how we engage with and deploy AI. Daly emphasizes the need to educate and encourage companies to use AI to amplify workers' abilities and create new opportunities. The dystopian narrative surrounding AI replacing human jobs can be unhelpful and it's crucial to deploy AI smartly to achieve positive outcomes in the future.

Nvidia's strong earnings report has reignited Wall Street's enthusiasm for US stocks. The positive results are expected to overshadow concerns about when the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates.

JPMorgan's trading desk predicts that the bullish shift towards US equities will continue, and the decoupling of stocks and yields will persist. The positive sentiment surrounding Nvidia's results is seen as a catalyst for the stock market and may help drive further gains.

Elon Musk, who will be leading the Department of Government Efficiency under President-elect Donald Trump, has criticized the Federal Reserve for being "absurdly overstaffed." Musk's comments come after Trump also targeted the central bank, arguing for greater influence over monetary policy and interest rates. The Federal Reserve employed around 24,000 people last year, significantly fewer than comparable institutions. Musk's new agency, the Department of Government Efficiency, aims to deliver a more efficient government by implementing spending cuts of $2 trillion. Musk has become one of Trump's closest advisers as he prepares for his return to the White House.

Speaking at a Federal Reserve forum, he emphasized the need for societal guardrails to mitigate these risks. Altman highlighted that while AI like ChatGPT offers benefits, excessive reliance can form problematic emotional attachments and endanger critical thinking. He also noted that short video content might harm children's mental health more than AI.
