That impasse over the Us Government budget comes at a time when the us economy is already facing quite a view number of challenges. The us Auto Industry is a key economic sector and facing that expanding strike which could have an impact on growth. While the Federal Reserve decided to leave rates unchanged when it met last week, it has signalled it could raise rates once again before the end of 2023.

Very difficult to handicap whether very difficult to handicap us politics in general obviously. But to handicap whether we end in a Government Shutdown and then how long it will be is difficult. In our minds it is prudent to position our portfolio conservatively. When we have seen Government Shutdowns previously it does have an impact on the underlying real economy. And this one in particular is coming at a time after rates have risen, both very quickly and by a high magnitude. So it is very prudent to take the potential shutdown into account. fix, potential shutdown into account potential shutdown into account. �. ,. , account. A few months ago we saw finch account.

But that being said, at the end of the day over long periods of time the country does need to get its fiscal act and health in order. While we are actually quite constructive on the us dollar, for example, currently, because it is a currency where investors gravitate to during periods of both uncertainty and during slowdowns and global receptions, which we may be perhaps heading towards in our minds we are, but over the long term the Financial Health of the us economy is not constructive for the dollar and thatis constructive for the dollar and that is why you see Central Banks around the world diversifying, not only the currency they invested but the currency they invested but the currency they invested but the currency they hold reserves and is well. ,.

Joe biden� s arrival is expected monday before former President Donald Trump is also scheduled to be there. It comes after the United Auto Workers union escalated its fight with some of americas biggest car manufacturers. The uaw chief has said that the new walkouts are likely to hit 38 sites owned by General Motors and stellantis. The move excludes ford, which the uaw said was making some progress in the talks. And just north of the border, ford executives are breathing a sigh of relief. A Canadian Labour union said its members had voted to ratify a new contract with the car manufacturer. Ford has offered the Union Members wage increases of up to 25 in its new contract, along with a view other improvements. The last minute deal has prevented walkouts at fords canadian operations.

Constantly you have to think about what the biggest actors are within the development of what we call large vantage model. In china it comes down to three types of companies the big take two big names such as alibaba. These companies are enormous resources, also a rich source of data. Secondly, there are also a range of interests in ai based companies such as centre time. These companies are have been in the industry for many years and have developed cutting edge engineering expertise. Also carving out their special. Prestigious organisations such as Chinese University in hong kong for example. These companies are also pretty. 0pen companies are also pretty. Open to working with different organisation. There is a wide range of development in al in china and some of them are not in the sort of all encompassing way that you have seen in developments in the west, most prominently inch activities.

In august this year, you had pretty authoritative list of Generative Ai regulations which gave confidence to the industry that al has a role to play in shiny� s text and also in the context of chinese us tech rivalry and ai is seen as a pivotal role in the next stage of chinas economic development.
