Goldman Sachs launches AI assistant firmwide, memo shows
(Reuters) -Goldman Sachs on Monday announced a firmwide launch of an artificial intelligence assistant, a tool driven by generative AI, to boost productivity, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters.
Around 10,000 employees at the bank are already using the GS AI Assistant, the memo sent to staff by Chief Information Officer Marco Argenti showed.
With the AI tool's official company-wide launch, Goldman joins a long list of big banks already leveraging the technology to shape their operations in a targeted manner and help employees in day-to-day tasks.
Citigroup has AI tools such as Citi Assist, which searches internal bank policies and procedures, as well as Citi Stylus, which helps with document summarizing and comparisons.
Morgan Stanley has a chatbot that helps financial advisors in interactions with clients, while Bank of America's virtual assistant, Erica, focuses on day-to-day transactions of retail clients.
The GS AI assistant will help Goldman employees in "summarizing complex documents and drafting initial content to performing data analysis," according to the internal memo.

Stellantis Squashes Rumors of Plan to Sell Maserati
Maserati may be struggling, but its parent company, Stellantis, says it's not ready to cut ties. The automaker reaffirmed its commitment to the historic Italian brand this week, responding to renewed speculation that Maserati could be on the chopping block. The denial came after Reuters reported that Stellantis had hired McKinsey & Company to help chart a course forward amid sluggish sales and mounting external pressures, including new U.S. import tariffs. Two sources told Reuters that all options-including a potential divestment of Maserati-were on the table. But a Stellantis spokesperson pushed back firmly. "Respectfully, Maserati is not for sale," the company said, signaling it still sees long-term value in Maserati despite recent turbulence. While Stellantis says it isn't shopping Maserati around, it has engaged consultants to take a hard look at the brand's future. According to sources familiar with the talks, McKinsey is still early in its review process and has yet to deliver any formal recommendations. One source noted that Stellantis instructed McKinsey to consider "all possibilities," suggesting that even internal discussions may be more open-ended than the company lets on publicly. Meanwhile, there are reported disagreements among Stellantis's leadership. Some board members believe Maserati holds unique value as the company's only true luxury marque, while others question whether Stellantis can afford to give the brand the support it needs. Part of the problem is Maserati's product pipeline-or lack thereof. The brand discontinued two of its best-selling models, the Ghibli sedan and Levante SUV, with replacements not scheduled until 2028 and 2027, respectively. That's an eternity in a rapidly evolving auto market. For now, the $80,000 Grecale compact SUV is Maserati's only utility vehicle-a risky position given ongoing consumer demand for crossovers. The GranTurismo and MC20 supercar round out the lineup, but neither is likely to generate meaningful volume in today's market. Former Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares acknowledged last year that Maserati was "in the red," and the company's performance hasn't improved. Through the first quarter of 2025, sales are down nearly 50% compared to the year before. The broader issue might be strategic confusion. Maserati is supposed to be Stellantis's halo brand, but it's increasingly caught in a tug-of-war with Alfa Romeo. Both companies are Italian, performance-focused, and eyeing premium segments-but they can't cannibalize each other. That makes lineup planning even more complicated. If Stellantis is serious about turning Maserati around, it will likely need to invest heavily and clarify the brand's role within the conglomerate. But that kind of long-term bet is hard to square with short-term financial losses, especially as Stellantis faces headwinds on multiple other fronts. For now, the automaker is holding the line. But unless sales turn around or the strategy sharpens, the rumors are unlikely to go away. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Stock futures are little changed as S&P 500 nears new record high: Live updates
Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., June 25, 2025. Jeenah Moon | Reuters Stock futures were relatively unchanged on Wednesday as the S&P 500 remains within striking distance of its all-time high. S&P 500 futures traded around the flatline, as did Nasdaq 100 futures . Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were likewise flat. Shares of Micron saw gains in extended trading after the semiconductor manufacturing company's fiscal third-quarter results topped estimates. The company also issued an upbeat outlook for the current period. Analysts had taken a bullish stance on the chipmaker prior to the results and pointed to its strong performance in the high bandwidth memory (HBM) market. The moves come after the S&P 500 finished Wednesday's session flat, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 106.59 points, or 0.3%. The three indexes are still on pace for a positive week, and the S&P 500 remains less than 1% from its February record. But some on Wall Street are skeptical that the recent market momentum will carry on. "The various macro factors that I'm looking at seem to suggest that there's no way this situation can continue," Komal Sri-Kumar, president of Sri-Kumar Global Strategies, said on CNBC's "Power Lunch" Wednesday, citing the Israel-Iran conflict as well as President Donald Trump's tariffs and the impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" on the fiscal deficit. Tensions in the Middle East seemed to be calming after Trump said Tuesday that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was in effect. Though the president accused both countries of violating the agreement, saying he's "not happy" with either of them, the deal has since appeared to hold. The U.S. is planning to meet with Iran next week. Investors are also gearing up for May's personal consumption expenditures price index reading, due out Friday morning. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday that its preferred inflation measure is likely to rise to 2.3%, while the core measure that excludes food and energy is expected to tick up to 2.6%. That's up from the headline reading of 2.1% and 2.5% for the core in April. However, Powell still stressed that the central bank is committed to keeping inflation under control in the face of "uncertain" effects of Trump's tariffs on the economy. "You're going to have a pickup in the rate of inflation … and I think that is going to be reflected during the second half of this year, with yields going up," Sri-Kumar continued. "That is going to be negative for [the] Nasdaq in particular, and I think [the] S&P is not going to be free from being attacked by that either." Elsewhere on the economic front, investors are eyeing weekly jobless claims data, which is slated for release at 8:30 a.m. ET on Thursday. Wall Street is also looking ahead to other earnings results. Walgreens is set to report before the bell Thursday, and Nike is scheduled for release after the closing bell.

Federal Reserve Poised to Hand Wall Street a Big Gift
Wall Street is poised to receive a big gift courtesy of the Federal Reserve. The central bank unveiled plans to roll back an important capital rule that big banks have complained limits their ability to hold more Treasuries and act as intermediaries in the $29 trillion market. (The Fed's announcement confirmed proposed changes to the rule first reported by Bloomberg News last week.) The Fed board voted 5-2 on Wednesday to propose changes to what's known as the enhanced supplementary leverage ratio, which applies to the largest US banks—like Bank of America, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. The revisions would reduce holding companies' capital requirement under the ratio to a range of 3.5% to 4.5% from the current 5%. Their banking subsidiaries would see that requirement lowered to the same range from 6%.
