Qilai Shen | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThis report is from today's CNBC Daily Open, our international markets newsletter. CNBC Daily Open brings investors up to speed on everything they need to know, no matter where they are. Headwinds blowing from Middle East might have been tempered by optimism in China. Lifted by Beijing's recent announcement of economic stimulus, Chinese stocks have been on a tear. That's caused U.S. exchange-traded funds that track Chinese stocks to rally, helping to keep the U.S. market afloat amid worries over the escalating Middle East conflict.

☆ A North Korean defector who struggled in South Korea stole a bus and tried to drive across the border, police say
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Yoonjung Seo | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

Seoul CNN —A North Korean defector who escaped to the South more than a decade ago was detained after attempting to cross back into North Korea on a stolen bus, police said. Since moving to South Korea in 2011, the 35-year-old man had been working day-to-day jobs without a stable home. More than 34,000 North Korean defectors have arrived in South Korea since fighting ended in the Korean War in 1953, according to official data. Defectors and advocates say the fact that some North Korean defectors try to return home points to how difficult it can be for them to assimilate into South Korean society. The man had previously crossed the border into North Korea via China but was returned by North Korean authorities.

☆ Everyone wants to know what AI is worth. One investor looked to the past for the $20 trillion answer.
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Emma Cosgrove | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Miller's team compared AI's growth with past tech waves, finding consistent growth rates. In fact, the generative-AI wave looks a lot more like past tech waves than its revolutionary capabilities would suggest. That "rule of three" theory puts the value of the AI wave at about $20 trillion. Miller likened the AI wave to the mobile wave in about 2009, when there were few applications for the iPhone. "So the question is if compute is the primary underlying driver of economic activity, economic growth, economic opportunity, then there's an argument that it's actually bigger."

☆ Mark Zuckerberg is now world's second-richest person, ahead of Jeff Bezos

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has surpassed Jeff Bezos as the world's second richest person. The Facebook co-founder now trails Tesla chief Elon Musk by roughly $50 billion, the index showed. Meta has pointed to its hefty artificial intelligence investments as helping improve the performance of its online advertising platform as a reason for its sales growth. The company's online advertising system suffered a major setback in 2021 when Apple introduced an iOS privacy update that weakened its ability to track users across the web. Investors reacted favorably to Meta's cost cutting while the company's online advertising business began to rebound and was bolstered by the massive digital ad spending campaigns by Chinese-linked retailers Temu and Shien.

☆ 40% of Americans plan to retire with $1 million or more—it might not be enough
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Ryan Ermey | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

A million dollars isn't the symbol of wealth that it used to be, but saving that much for retirement is still rare. In fact, among those currently saving for retirement, 57% say the amount they're hoping to save is less than $1 million. If you withdraw money from your portfolio too fast, you drastically decrease the chances that the money will last for your entire retirement. Divide that figure by 4%, and you'll arrive at the amount you'll need to retire with: $2.5 million. If you plan to retire with $1 million, by the same calculation you can expect to withdraw $40,000 in your first year.

A van flows in floodwaters in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene on Sept. 28 in Asheville, North Carolina. States affected by Hurricane Helene are warning residents to watch for the risks of scams in the aftermath of the storm, including price gouging. Price gouging happens when there is an excessive increase in prices charged for goods and services, and it often happens during emergencies or disasters. Normal price fluctuations are not price gouging, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said in a recent announcement. The terms of established price gouging protections vary from state to state.
