TikTok has officially launched its e-commerce service TikTok Shop in the U.S.TikTok on Thursday announced it will launch a U.S. summer sale dubbed "Deals for You Days," which is positioned to compete with Amazon 's annual Prime Day. Starting July 9, TikTok Shop will be offering sales on thousands of items, including clothing, beauty products, books and decor. The announcement comes just two days after Amazon revealed that its annual Prime Day mega sale will take place on July 16-17 this year. The success of Prime Day, which Amazon introduced in 2015, has pushed several other retailers to hold competing sales. The social media platform first introduced the TikTok Shop in September 2023 as an in-app shopping experience, capitalizing on the #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt trend.

☆ French stocks face worse to come from political risk, Goldman strategists say
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-18 | by ( Jenni Reid | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

French stocks are likely to take a further beating from political risk in the weeks and months ahead, but the impact will be focused in certain areas, according to strategists at Goldman Sachs. Along with an equity sell-off, borrowing costs climbed and the spread between French and German 10-year bond yields widened by 25 basis points. Goldman strategists expect that spread to remain wide in the coming weeks. "This would likely maintain the pressure on French domestic stocks, especially Banks, which are highly sensitive to sovereign spreads," Goldman strategists said in a research note published Friday. French domestic big names include supermarket chain Carrefour , construction firm Vinci and utility Engie , while its internationally oriented juggernauts include the likes of LVMH , L'Oreal and Remy Cointreau .

Liontrust Asset Management's Clare Pleydell-Bouverie is looking beyond the headline-makers, however, to other companies set to gain from AI adoption. She said AI is set to remove "a lot of waste out of people's jobs," and bring about a "phenomenal productivity uplift." 'Higher customer conversion' Pleydell-Bouverie also said consumer-facing companies like French beauty and cosmetics label L'Oreal stand to gain from the adoption of AI. "They've pioneered beauty tech as an industry," she said, adding that the company's generative AI beauty assistant system has a 60% higher customer conversion than in-store advisors. The analysts have an average price of $450.25 on L'Oreal, giving it slightly downside potential.

Many companies are in the AI infrastructure buildout phase right now. That's because, in order to enable AI applications, companies have to make the switch from "general purpose computing to accelerated computing," she said. "You can't run AI on traditional compute, it would be prohibitively expensive, and far too energy intensive," said Pleydell-Bouverie. That's a 35% increase from last year, she said, and all this incremental investment is being directed to AI initiatives. And the world is "only in the first five minutes of this AI infrastructure buildout," she added.
