☆ At the Brink: Confronting the Risk of Nuclear War - The New York Times
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-04 | by ( Kathleen Kingsbury | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +7 min

In New York Times Opinion’s latest series, At the Brink, we’re looking at the reality of nuclear weapons today. Within two years, the last major remaining arms treaty between the United States and Russia is to expire. Part of the answer is that both of those active conflicts would be far more catastrophic if nuclear weapons were introduced into them. Their efforts helped to end atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons, which, in certain cases, had poisoned people and the environment. The United States could insist on robust controls for artificial intelligence in the launch processes of nuclear weapons.

Sundaram, now CEO at Applied, is making it her mission to kill the résumé — or at least diminish its role in hiring. Sundaram wants other leaders to follow suit because our work bios — and even job experience — aren't always good predictors of who will succeed in a role. The company might use only five or six questions per test to help identify suitable job candidates. When employers do want to see a résumé, Applied can use AI to strip away information about gender and ethnicity. For her part, Sundaram expects AI will change how so many people work that job candidates' employment histories might often reflect a smorgasbord of experiences.

With bitcoin on a hot streak this past week, investors should brace themselves for a cooling in March. "But cash inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs are accelerating, and that seems to have been overpowering those technical signals." Although Bitcoin traded above $62,000 to end the week, it's realized price was down at the $42,000 level, according to CryptoQuant. CryptoQuant also showed the cost of opening new long positions in the futures market spiked in the recent rally, which historically signals a coming correction in the bitcoin price. Ether, however, has ended the month higher in six of the last eight March's since its inception, with an average gain on the month of 25%.

New York CNN —America’s gyms are adjusting their strategies as more of their members take weight loss drugs. JPMorgan researchers estimate that 30 million people may be taking GLP-1 drugs by 2030, or around 9% of the US population. For now, GLP-1 medications are prohibitively expensive for most Americans, costing about $1,000 or more a month. (Ozempic has not been approved for weight loss by regulators, though Wegovy, a similar drug, has.) It also made a $100 million-plus deal to buy Sequence, a telehealth business that offers virtual prescriptions to patients for these weight loss drugs where appropriate.

☆ Few large employers alter abortion coverage after Supreme Court ruling
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-01 | by ( Tami Luhby | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —Large employers did not make many changes to their abortion coverage after the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision that allowed states to ban or severely restrict abortion, according to a new analysis from KFF. Some 12% of large firms whose biggest plan covers abortion under most or all circumstances added or expanded abortion coverage after the ruling, found KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research organization. Large public employers, such as state and local governments, were less likely to provide abortion coverage than private for profit or nonprofit firms. The prevalence of abortion coverage also depends on where large employers are headquartered. Among very large employers with 5,000 or more workers, the share is 19%.

☆ Goldman loves these stocks and thinks the rest of Wall Street is underestimating their earnings

Goldman Sachs has its eyes on equities that have stronger earnings potential this year than the rest of Wall Street believes. Goldman highlighted to clients stocks where Wall Street analysts are raising their estimates, but not by enough. Goldman believes the rest of Wall Street will need to revise their earnings estimates upward by even more, driving gains for the shares. General Motors beat Wall Street fourth-quarter estimates and forecast stronger-than-expected 2024 earnings in the range of $8.50 to $9.50 per share. Goldman Sachs now predicts the company will earn $9.10 per share, which is roughly 2% higher than Wall Street estimates, it said in a research note.

☆ Here’s why regional banks have so much commercial real estate exposure
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-29 | by ( Elisabeth Buchwald | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

New York CNN —It’s no secret that commercial real estate (CRE) has become a source of stress for banks. Regional banks were on high alert recently after New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) reported steeper-than-expected future losses on commercial real estate loans. So why is it that the smaller, regional banks are so much more exposed to commercial real estate? Office real estate is among the bank’s smaller commercial real estate subcomponents. Robbins of Valley National Bank told CNN “we remain comfortable with our diverse and granular commercial real estate portfolio.”Office real estate is just one component of commercial real estate, albeit the most worrisome to banks and economists.

The S & P has advanced about 5% since passing the old January 2022 historic high, which it crossed on Jan. 19, this year. Put another way: the S & P has recovered all the bear market losses from the old high in January 2022 to the bear market bottom in October 2022, and added another 5%. "Yet it also offers encouragement that no post-recovery selloff saw the start of a new bear market before rebounding and proceeding onto additional new highs."

A view shows part of the state oil firm Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) refinery in Salamanca. The consultancy expects demand growth to be around 250,000 bpd to 350,000 bpd, less than half of what it was in 2019 — demand growth will not return to the million barrels per day seen between 2015 and 2020. China's oil demand growth this year could be half of pre-Covid 2019 levels, according to Eurasia Group, as key segments of the world's second-largest economy struggle from a slowdown. The incremental fuel demand growth in China that the oil industry has come to literally bank on over the past two decades is no more. China will lose its spot to India as the primary driver for global oil demand through 2030, the International Energy Agency said in a report.
