Morning Bid: Gloom pervades ahead of Fed meet's outcome
A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Rae Wee Markets head into Wednesday's Federal Reserve rates decision with much uncertainty around the global economy, trade and geopolitical ties. With the Israel-Iran air war entering a sixth day, the G7 wealthy nations struggling to find unity over the conflict in Ukraine, and more signs of fragility in the U.S. economy, the drumbeat of negative headlines offered little respite for investors. U.S. President Donald Trump's call for Iran's unconditional surrender and comments from him suggesting a more aggressive stance toward Iran have also stoked worries of greater U.S. involvement. It was again a risk-off tone in markets on Wednesday, with shares in Asia falling and the dollar buoyant. Stock futures similarly pointed to a mostly lower opening in Europe, though oil prices steadied a little after surging more than 4% in the previous session. It's an increasingly difficult line for Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues to tread given the challenging global backdrop, and much attention on the central bank's policy decision will be on its updated Summary of Economic Projections. For now, markets are still pricing in two Fed cuts by December, but that could very well change should Powell strike a more hawkish tone later in the day. Ahead of the Fed outcome, UK inflation data is also due on Wednesday, where consumer prices are expected to have slowed slightly in May after April's bigger-than-expected surge. The reading comes ahead of a policy decision by the Bank of England on Thursday, where expectations are for the central bank to keep rates on hold. Still, investors will be looking for hints on whether a slowing economy and weaker wage growth could speed up the pace of easing. One of Britain's leading business groups on Wednesday slashed its forecast for economic growth in 2025 and next year due to headwinds from Trump's tariffs and an increase in payroll taxes, a survey showed.

Intel Foundry layoffs could impact 'more than 10,000' factory workers — one fifth of employees affected by 'enormous cutback'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The first reports about Intel's plans to cut workforce in its manufacturing division starting mid-July emerged last Friday. However, the report lacked specifics, which appear to be quite dramatic as the chipmaker reportedly plans to eliminate between 15% to 20% of its Intel Foundry personnel, which will affect over 8,170-10,890 people globally, reports OregonLive. Naga Chandrasekaran, the head of Intel Foundry, informed staff that the layoffs are necessary to address cost-related challenges and the company's financial position. He stated that reductions would be guided by business priorities, individual evaluations, and decisions around which projects to continue funding. As of December 28, 2024, Intel's workforce comprised 108,900 people, down from around 124,800 people from the previous year. Intel's Silicon Forest Oregon facilities were not spared from layoffs last year, cutting approximately 3,000 jobs while still retaining roughly 20,000 employees. Intel has 15 wafer fabs in production worldwide at 10 locations. Intel does not disclose exactly how many of its employees work in production and related services, though the company says that approximately half of its workforce handles production or production services. The remaining half is distributed across R&D, design, sales, administrative roles, client, data center, and other business units. Keep in mind that other divisions are to face similar 15% to 20% cuts this year. Assuming that around 50% of Intel's personnel are involved in fab operations, that means around 54,450 people. Eliminating 15% to 20% of them means that from 8,170 to 10,890 personnel will be eliminated worldwide. Intel will not offer buyouts or voluntary departures this year, opting instead for selective terminations in an attempt to keep the best employees with the company, the report says. When the 2025 layoffs were announced this spring, the company emphasized that its intention was to reduce the number of management layers and bureaucracy within the company. However, the new report indicates that affected roles may span a range of positions, from technicians working directly on factory floors or under them to tool operators and support personnel. Key roles, such as engineers working on cutting-edge process technologies and skilled technicians managing EUV and High-NA EUV lithography equipment, are vital and unlikely to face layoffs. However, Intel may trim positions made redundant by automation or organizational efficiency. While reducing non-essential roles helps cut costs while maintaining critical expertise in the company, it may also reduce operational agility, slow responses to equipment problems, and increase pressure on remaining employees, which lowers morale and could result in costly downtime. OregonLive notes that federal and state funding are also in question. Intel secured $7.9 billion from the CHIPS Act, receiving $1 billion last year. But the rest of the subsidy package remains uncertain, as the new Trump administration is reviewing ongoing allocations. Separately, Oregon pledged $115 million in public funds, but those are conditional on meeting future hiring and tax revenue targets. If hiring or revenue projections are missed, state funding could be withdrawn. Follow Tom's Hardware on Google News to get our up-to-date news, analysis, and reviews in your feeds.

Employees were already freaked out about AI — Amazon just proved them right
On Tuesday, Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, said that he expects AI will lead to job cuts at the company. Many workers are increasingly concerned about job security, as AI changes loom. Jassy's memo proves they're right to worry — the cuts are coming, whether workers are ready or not. The once-hypothetical cuts are coming, whether employees are ready or not. On Tuesday, Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, confirmed the fears of many workers in the age of artificial intelligence: He said he expects the technology will lead to job cuts at the tech giant. In his memo, which was posted online, Jassy did not announce immediate layoffs. He said that, in the next few years, "efficiency gains" from AI would translate to a smaller corporate workforce. Marlo Lyons, a certified executive coach, told Business Insider that jobs will inevitably change — including outright disappearances. "So is your job at risk? Absolutely. If you don't get on board with AI, yes, absolutely, you're going to lose your job." Amazon is now one of the largest companies to explicitly state that AI will impact its employees' jobs. BI previously reported that roles that include tasks that AI can perform are disappearing from job boards faster than positions that have fewer tasks that AI can accomplish. Shopify's CEO said in April that, before hiring anyone new, employees must prove AI can't do the job better. Duolingo plans to phase out contractors and replace them with AI. And Salesforce's CEO, Marc Benioff, has said that the company might not hire engineers in 2025 because those already on the payroll are getting so much more done thanks to AI tools. The industry you're in matters. Office workers appear to be particularly at risk. In late May, Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, suggested AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Klarna's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, said earlier this month that he expects the impact of AI on white-collar jobs to be so significant that it will lead to a recession. Christian Schneider, the CEO of New York-based startup fileAI, told BI that he's already seeing job losses in corners of the tech industry, and he expects AI to exacerbate the trend. "I'm totally expecting a tightening," he said. "I think when we look into tech layoffs, it's so apparent that something is changing." Melissa Swift, the founder and CEO of work consultancy Anthrome Insight, told BI that productivity hasn't always increased to the same degree as tech advances. It often "ticks up slowly, like a kiddie roller coaster going up the first big hill." Those who aren't keeping up risk being left behind. And refusing to acknowledge the risk doesn't make it go away, Lyons said. "So if you're redesigning the workplace, and how things are getting done — whether it's a workflow or structures of teams, or the same thing with AI — you can hold on with white knuckles, but it's still going to happen around you," Lyons said. Of course, not all the jobs affected by advancements in AI will mean the workers filling them will be laid off. Jassy acknowledged in his statement that Amazon will "need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs." Schneider said some jobs will change so that typical back-office, rote tasks will fall to AI and allow more workers to take on people-facing roles. Or, officegoers once responsible for pulling and preparing data might now move to the end of the process to, for example, check the quality of the results AI produces. While some jobs will disappear and others will evolve, Schneider said, workers are often good at adapting. "Honestly, I wouldn't want to underestimate people's drive," he said.
