Vanguard: High Probability of US Exceptionalism Ending
The transformative impact of AI is still yet to be fully realized, but if it is as positive as forecast, the productivity gains could help tame inflation and support growth says Joseph Davis, Global Chief Economist and Global Head of the Investment Strategy Group at Vanguard, as well as author of 'Coming into View: How AI and Other Megatrends Will Shape Your Investments'. These positive impacts will be felt across the globe, weakening the case for US exceptionalism as new investment opportunities arise elsewhere. Davis spoke to Francine Lacqua on 'Bloomberg: The Pulse'. (Source: Bloomberg)

China Urges US to Comply With ‘Hard-Won' Deal After London Talks
(Bloomberg) — China cheered a new framework to defuse trade tensions with the US after two days of intense negotiation, calling on both countries to adhere to the agreement and maintain dialogue to stabilize ties. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico California Pitches Emergency Loans for LA, Local Transit Systems 'As a next step, the two sides should follow the important consensus and requirements reached by the two heads of state on the phone call, further play a good role in the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism,' Vice Premier He Lifeng said, according to a Wednesday statement published by state broadcaster China Central Television. The two sides should 'show the spirit of good faith in abiding by their commitments and jointly safeguard the hard-won results of the dialogue,' he added. The statement offered no details on the specifics of the framework. The agreement comes after two days of high-stakes trade talks in London that concluded Tuesday night. Both sides said they'd agreed on a framework for implementing the Geneva deal that would revive the flow of sensitive goods between the countries. Despite reaching a truce that suspended drastic tariffs last month, the world's two largest economies later accused each other of violating that accord. US officials said China was stalling exports of rare earth magnets crucial for auto and defense sectors, while Beijing protested Washington's move to impose new curbs on chip design software, jet engine parts and student visas. The latest statement represents a step toward de-escalating a tariff war that had led to a slump in bilateral trade. However, it made no reference to rare earth magnets or US export controls, which had both been a focal point of the talks and main source of tension going into negotiations. The US and Chinese delegations will take that proposal back to their respective leaders, China's trade envoy Li Chenggang told reporters after the talks concluded.

Platinum Extends Gain as Market Shows Further Signs of Tightness
(Bloomberg) -- Platinum extended this year's surge to almost 40%, as the market strains under signs of tightness. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico California Pitches Emergency Loans for LA, Local Transit Systems The price of platinum — used in jewelry and autocatalysts, as well as in the chemical and glass industries — rose as much as 4.6% to $1,275.45 an ounce on Wednesday. After trading largely sideways at around $1,000 for the best part of a decade, that's taken the white metal to the highest in more than four years. The gains come as the physical platinum market heads for another year of deficit, boosted by strong Chinese demand for a cheaper alternative to gold jewelry. A dramatic outflow of platinum to the US in the first few months of 2025 — over fears that imports would be subject to President Donald Trump's tariffs — further tightened the availability of the metal in the largest spot trading hubs of Zurich and London. The implied cost of borrowing the precious metal for one month peaked in data going back six years at an annualized rate of 15%, while forward prices for platinum are trading a steep discount to spot, both indications of tightness. Platinum output in South Africa — by far the world's biggest producer — has declined this year amid heavy rains and other disruptions. That's helped to underpin the price gains, boosting the shares of miners such as Anglo American Plc spinoff Valterra Platinum Ltd. and its rivals Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. and Sibanye Stillwater Ltd. Those producers have come under pressure from the worldwide rollout of electric vehicles, which don't use either platinum, or its sister metals, palladium and rhodium. The biggest single source of demand for platinum is as an input into autocatalysts, which curb emissions from combustion engines in gasoline and diesel vehicles. That continues to weigh on the longer-term demand outlook. Meanwhile, gold edged higher even after the US and China said they had agreed on a plan to ease trade tensions during talks in London. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and China's trade representative Li Chenggang said the two sides had agreed in principle on a framework to implement the consensus they reached in Geneva. Bullion rose 0.2% to trade around $3,329.03 an ounce as of 12:03 p.m. in London. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was steady. Silver fell, while palladium rose. The detente between the world's two biggest economies should be negative for haven assets like gold, and the lack of downward movement in bullion suggests investors are waiting for more developments. Investors are looking ahead to an auction of US Treasuries on Thursday, with weak demand potentially boosting gold's haven appeal.
