U.K.-based chip design company Arm debuted on the Nasdaq on Thursday, and now it's trading at a premium to even fellow semiconductor firm Nvidia . But hedge fund manager Dan Niles told CNBC's " Squawk Box Asia " that he'd "much rather own" Nvidia for the AI play. He pointed out that 75% of Nvidia's revenues are data center-driven, whereas less than 15% of Arm's revenues are driven by AI. Nvidia is also down around more than 7% so far in September and Niles describes that as a "very healthy consolidation." "Those are all names you can buy at much better valuations than you can buy Arm and I'm not arguing Arm isn't a great company," Niles said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A group photo of about two dozen law officers in tactical gear posing with escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante minutes after his capture Wednesday in southeastern Pennsylvania drew criticism from policing reform advocates and some members of the public. Policing experts said the celebratory moment after the grueling 14-day search for the armed suspect was inappropriate and dehumanizing. Photos of Cavalcante immediately after being arrested, with the police dog pinning him down, circulated widely on social media Wednesday in the hours after the arrest was announced. The photos did not include information about who took them, but they were taken inside the secured perimeter where only law enforcement officers were allowed. If I was on the scene as the public affairs officer representing a law enforcement agency, I would have discouraged it.”

REUTERS/Jim Young/File PhotoAug 15 (Reuters) - Home Depot (HD.N) on Tuesday reported a smaller-than-expected drop in quarterly same-store sales and topped profit estimates, as Americans spending on small-scale projects countered a pause in larger home remodeling and renovation work. "While there was strength in categories associated with smaller projects, we did see continued pressure in certain big-ticket, discretionary categories," Home Depot CEO Ted Decker said in a statement. Customer transactions fell for the ninth straight quarter, down 1.8% in the second quarter, but smaller than the 4.8% fall in the first quarter. Comparable sales fell 2% in the quarter, while analysts had expected a 3.54% drop, according to Refinitiv IBES data. "Whether the bottoming in the housing market would translate to sales or not - that's where there is caution from investors," Feldman said.
