AdvertisementA 37-year-old manager at Microsoft says AI has changed his workflow. AI reduced his time spent on coding by 70%, and also cut time spent on reading and meetings, he says. Whatever time I'm getting back from leveraging AI, I'm using it for some other work. Once the developers start writing code for these projects and do the actual work, that's where we leverage AI. So that's why developers are using AI wherever they can to reduce their time, but they are using any time saved for other tasks or other features.

CNN —From the moment the US election results rolled in, climate leaders knew Donald Trump would be a blow to the COP29 talks in Baku. Amid the chaos, prominent global climate leaders on Friday issued an open letter calling for a “fundamental overhaul” of the entire UN climate process. COP29 marks the third year in a row that the climate talks have been held in either a petrostate, or economy that relies heavily on oil and gas. World leaders and delegates pose for a "family photo" on day two of the COP29 talks. Sean Gallup/Getty ImagesThe geopolitical chaos comes as global climate leaders scramble to find ways to Trump-proof progress so far, as the president-elect has vowed to again pull the US out of the Paris Agreement.

Mortgage rates were forecast to go down in 2025. Expectations of higher inflation and more government debt under Trump have helped mortgage rates rise in recent weeks. Why mortgage rates rose ahead of the election — and are still high nowMortgage rates went down a lot in September, with 30-year rates dropping near 6%, according to Freddie Mac. How Trump's policies could lead to higher mortgage ratesZhao says that right now it's "nearly impossible" to predict where mortgage rates will go in 2025. More supply would help moderate home price growth, improving affordability even if mortgage rates remain high.

When I awoke last week to the news that Donald Trump had been elected president once again, my first impulse was to write. In my experience, good writing requires four things: precision of language, the freedom to say anything, respect and — perhaps most important — love. The responsibilities of the writer today are no different from those of any writer in any age. But the presence, character and now considerable power of President-elect Trump make the work of fulfilling those responsibilities all the more difficult and urgent. Precision, freedom, respect and love: These qualities are sorely missing in Mr. Trump and his vision for our country.

Select cheap names could be poised to jump in a postelection market, according to Jefferies. Indeed, after the 2016 and 2020 election, names with the cheapest valuations eventually performed well, while momentum plays lagged, Jefferies equity strategist Steven DeSanctis noted. "The cheapest names have lagged in November, since June 30th, and really since the start of the year. Here are a few of the names Jefferies turned up. Jefferies' $26 price target on the stock suggests nearly 7% potential upside for Carnival shares from its latest close.

The top 10 family offices for startup investments
  + stars: | 2024-11-15 | by ( Robert Frank | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
The top 10 family offices for startup investments made over 150 investments combined this year, in everything from biotech and energy to crypto and artificial intelligence, according to a new analysis. CNBC partnered with Fintrx, the private wealth intelligence platform, to analyze single family offices that made the largest number of investments in private startups in 2024. The most active family office so far this year is Maelstrom, the Hong Kong-based family office of American investor Arthur Hayes, who co-founded the crypto exchange BitMEX. For the sake of the list, family offices are defined as investment vehicles or holding companies of a single family or individual that don't manage money for outside investors. Nearly a third of startup capital in 2022 came from family offices, according to a PWC report.

Bitcoin is closing in on $100,000 for the first time, but could still double after that, according to BCA Research. That narrative gives Bitcoin its network effect: a positive feedback system in which the asset increases in value as more people use it. "Bitcoin, with a market value of $1.5 trillion, comprises less than 10 percent of the total market for non-confiscatable assets," he said. "As bitcoin's share of this market increases, and the supply of bitcoins reaches its upper limit, bitcoin's price has substantial upside." The price of bitcoin has soared 32% since Election Day in the U.S. last week.

That's the view of Caroline Cai, CEO of U.S.-based Pzena Investment Management.

The investment firm has ramped up its exposure to Chinese equities in the last two years. "It's not because we have a particularly positive view on longer term Chinese macro, we kind of think things are pretty challenging. "Our view is, if the risk is obvious to everyone, at least you're getting paid to take some exposure," she added.

Oil dips on oversupply concerns, heads for weekly loss
  + stars: | 2024-11-15 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Oil prices edged down early on Friday as oversupply concerns and demand worries stemming from a stronger dollar outweighed a steep draw in U.S. fuel stocks. ​Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, also fell unexpectedly by 1.4 million barrels, the data showed. Signs of stronger demand supported oil prices, ANZ analyst Daniel Hynes said. The Paris-based agency raised its 2024 demand growth forecast by 60,000 barrels per day to 920,000 bpd, and left its 2025 oil demand growth forecast little changed at 990,000 bpd. Also pressuring oil prices, the dollar surged on Thursday to a one-year high and headed for a fifth-straight daily gain fueled by higher yields and Donald Trump's presidential election victory in the United States.
