Pinterest Launches First Product Collaboration with Chamberlain Coffee
The coffee blend became available for purchase on June 17 this year on Chamberlain Coffee's website in the UK, the US, Canada, and Europe, as well as directly through Chamberlain Coffee's Pinterest profile. The collaboration is notable as a branding opportunity and also because the coffee itself was inspired by Pinterest trends. Emma Chamberlain is a long-time Pinterest user and used the platform to imagine the entire campaign and design.

A core theme throughout the process was the 'Fisherman Aesthetic' trend, identified as one of 20 rising trends in Pinterest Predicts, which is the platform's annual emerging trends report for 2025. While Emma Chamberlain's influence is a factor in the product's potential popularity, Pinterest suggests that if the coffee blend proves successful, it could indicate the predictive power of its trend reports.

Trump Says He Will Start Talks With China on TikTok Deal
President Trump late Friday said that the U.S. 'pretty much has a deal' for an American company to acquire the U.S. branch of TikTok, adding that he intended to restart talks next week with China to approve the deal. 'We're going to start Monday or Tuesday talking to China,' Mr. Trump told reporters traveling on Air Force One on Friday night as headed to Bedminster, N.J. 'We think we probably have to get it approved by China. Not definitely, but probably.' He added, 'I think the deal is good for China, and it's good for us. It's money, it's a lot of money.' Mr. Trump did not say who the potential buyer was. The president said earlier in the week that he had found a buyer for the U.S. branch of TikTok, the popular Chinese-owned video app that faces a ban adopted by Congress over national security concerns. A 2024 law required that the app effectively be banned in the United States unless its parent company, ByteDance, sold it to a non-Chinese company. Congress was concerned that sensitive user data could end up in the hands of the Chinese government. It was not clear if the deal would comply with some of the requirements Congress adopted for a sale of TikTok, particularly if ByteDance chose not to share the app's algorithm with the U.S. buyers. Private equity firms have been hesitant to invest in a deal without some form of indemnification. Mr. Trump has declined to enforce the law banning the app, which was passed by large bipartisan majorities and unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court. Shortly after being sworn in, Mr. Trump issued an executive order directing the Justice Department to suspend enforcement of the TikTok ban and has since repeatedly extended it. Pam Bondi, the attorney general, has told tech companies that Mr. Trump has the constitutional power to effectively set aside laws.

Travel industry delivers praise and concern after Trump's policy bill becomes law
President Trump's budget and policy bill delivered a mix of celebration and concern for the travel industry, as long-sought investments in infrastructure and business-friendly tax policies came with steep cuts to Brand USA's federal funding. Trump signed the bill into law July 4. U.S. Travel Association CEO Geoff Freeman praised the law's investments in air traffic control modernization and staffing for Customs and Border Protection, but he warned that reductions to Brand USA and visa fee hikes risk deterring inbound travel. The bill includes a $250 Visa Integrity Fee for nonimmigrant visas and a near doubling of the ESTA fee from $21 to $40 for Visa Waiver Program travelers. It also slashed Brand USA's federal matching funds from $100 million to $20 million. "This legislation is a giant step in the right direction when it comes to improving America's travel infrastructure and security," said Freeman. "Bold, necessary investments in air traffic control and Customs and Border Protection will make a meaningful difference in the traveler's experience. "The smart investments in the travel process make foolish new fees on foreign visitors and reductions to Brand USA, America's promotion arm, that much harder to swallow," he added. "Making America the world's most visited destination, and capitalizing on the upcoming World Cup and Summer Olympics, requires smarter policy and legislative changes that we are already pursuing." Forum: Why slashing Brand USA funding is a costly mistake "it's effectively pulling the rug out from under an entire sector of our economy," writes Spark executive vice president Dulani Porter. Continue Reading Freeman said that "raising fees on lawful international visitors amounts to a self-imposed tariff on one of our nation's largest exports: international travel spending. These fees are not reinvested in improving the travel experience and do nothing but discourage visitation at a time when foreign travelers are already concerned about the welcome experience and high prices." Fred Dixon, CEO of Brand USA, said that while the organization is "disappointed" with the reduction in federal matching funds the bill, Brand USA "remains committed to our mission and looks forward to opportunities for funding restoration in the future." "The current reduction will require a significant recalibration of our resources and programming that is still to be determined," Dixon said. "But we remain focused on growing legitimate international inbound travel and the vital boost it provides to the U.S. economy, especially with major global events on the immediate horizon like America250 and the FIFA World Cup." The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) praised the bill's inclusion of tax provisions that it called critical to the hospitality industry. "This law provides long-term tax certainty and powerful incentives for small business owners and will help business owners re-invest in their communities and create more jobs," said AHLA CEO Rosanna Maietta. "Quite simply, it's a game-changer for small businesses across all industries."

The End Of The Quant? How AI Is Democratizing Financial Analysis
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 28: Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on ... More March 28, 2025, in New York City. As President Trump's escalating trade war and signs of inflation concern investors, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped more than 700 points or nearly 1.7%. (Photo by) Getty Images A new wave of artificial intelligence startups is setting its sights on one of Wall Street's most specialized roles: the quantitative analyst. From hedge funds to commodity trading floors, AI platforms are promising to democratize the complex mathematical models and data analysis that have long been the exclusive domain of highly-paid quants. Until recently, large language models for trading have been the domain of billionaire fund managers like Igor Tulchinsky, whose WorldQuant hedge fund manages over $23 billion and employs more than 150 PhDs to build custom AI systems. As Tulchinsky recently told Forbes , his firm is using LLMs to "convert and discover alphas in different domains," creating proprietary tools that can answer "very sophisticated questions" by combining standard models with internal data that "really nobody can replicate." But a new generation of startups is working to change that exclusivity, offering sophisticated AI-powered analytics to firms that previously couldn't afford such capabilities. The trend represents a fundamental shift in how financial institutions approach data-driven decision making. Rather than hiring teams of PhD-level analysts to crunch numbers and identify market patterns, firms are increasingly turning to AI systems that can process vast amounts of information in seconds and deliver insights in plain English. Three companies highlighted in recent case studies (FINTool, Metal AI, and Findly) are targeting different corners of the financial world with AI-powered research and analytics platforms. Each promises to transform hours of manual analysis into automated insights, potentially reshaping how investment decisions get made. The key trend has to do with the ability of AI to take disparate data sources to analyze them according to the wishes of risk takers. The promise is that AI systems can search for, aggregate and synthesise data-sources without human intervention. For instance, FINTool focuses on public equity research for hedge funds and banks, analyzing millions of documents from earnings reports to SEC filings. The platform claims to reduce analyst workloads from hours to seconds while maintaining "zero hallucinations" through a three-tier peer-evaluation system. On the other hand, Metal AI targets private equity firms, where deal teams struggle with fragmented data across multiple systems, be it market research platforms to confidential data rooms. The company's intelligence platform claims to unify internal and external data sources, allowing investment professionals to ask complex questions in natural language rather than spending time manually aggregating information. But perhaps the most developed attempt to replace traditional quant work comes from YC backed Findly , whose Darling Analytics platform is making waves in the notoriously complex world of commodity trading. Ignacio Hidalgo knows commodity trading from the inside. As a former lead book trader at some of the most prominent LPG trading desks, he experienced firsthand the daily struggle of synthesizing massive amounts of market data, weather patterns, shipping & flows information plus geopolitical developments into profitable trading decisions. "The problem was the same, just different," Hidalgo explains of his transition from trader to tech entrepreneur. "Most advanced tools for structured and advanced data analytics were still leaving traders without the context they needed. A very hard problem to solve" Now, alongside co-founder Pedro Nascimento, Hidalgo is building what he calls "brand new in the world" technology through their Y Combinator-backed startup Findly. Their Darling Analytics platform aims to give average commodity trading desks the "super analytical powers" traditionally restricted to specialized quant desks. Commodity trading operates in a world of extremes. Sophisticated mathematical models coexist with surprisingly basic tools. While some operations deploy complex algorithms and real-time analytics, others rely on WhatsApp group chats for deal-making. Traders often conduct business through messaging apps with minimal technological sophistication. "Charts don't give you the context," Hidalgo notes. "It's impossible for a human to ingest all the parameters: overnight price changes, ship loading information, weather data & forecasts, news. With AI, you can ask 'What happened to the price of crude this week? Is it a good time to buy?' and get a much clearer picture with market context. AI Quants: Real-World Implementation Darling Analytics is already being piloted at several large commodity firms. The system automates the kind of morning and event driven reports that junior traders typically compile manually, freeing up human analysts to focus on higher-value strategic work. It integrates (near) real-time structured data with unstructured information from market reports, X, Web, emails and news feeds to provide comprehensive market intelligence. "The AI can give full context on data on your metrics. This is not the same as just plotting a graph, it tells you what the graph is in the current context of the market," Hidalgo explains. The platform builds what he calls a "knowledge graph", allowing users to ask trader-specific questions in natural language and receive analysis that would previously require hours of manual research. For instance, a trader can ask the tool to plot the relationship between the weather and the propane stocks on the East Coast of the United States. While this previously would've taken a junior analyst hours to prepare, a trader can now delegate the task to the platform and see results in minutes. Query within DarlingAnalytics DarlingAnalytics What is next for AI quants? The success of these AI platforms raises important questions about the future of quantitative analysis in finance. If artificial intelligence can truly replicate the pattern recognition and analytical capabilities that make quants valuable, it could significantly alter the structure of trading and investment teams. For trading desks that rely on analysts or quants to provide studies for risk deployment, AI-powered analytics provide a competitive advantage by amplifying human capabilities rather than simply replacing them. The technology promises to democratize access to sophisticated analysis across entire organizations. However, the transition isn't without challenges. Commodity markets are notoriously unpredictable, influenced by everything from geopolitical tensions to weather patterns. The companies building these AI systems must ensure their platforms can handle the complexity and volatility that make human expertise so valuable in the first place. As Hidalgo puts it, the goal is to "empower the average user in commodity trading companies" with analytical capabilities that were previously the exclusive domain of specialists. Whether AI can truly replace the intuition and market feel that experienced traders bring to trading remains to be seen, but what it does do is provide an edge on data intelligence in minutes. But with major commodity traders already piloting these systems, the financial industry appears ready to find out.
