Dominic Bunning, head of G-10 FX strategy at Nomura, discusses the US dollar as the theme of possible debasement gains traction among investors. "What I do think is notable is that, you know, the dollar from a valuation picture is still relatively expensive," Bunning tells Bloomberg Television. "I think this trade does have further to run," he adds. (Source: Bloomberg)

Apple offers a relatively low-risk, potentially high-reward investment proposition. SoundHound AI (SOUN 4.74%) bills its technology as "the conversational AI that speaks for itself." The company's voice AI technology has spurred many others to talk about SoundHound, though. The fact that SoundHound's stock has been a seven-bagger over the last three years underscores the point.

Apple offers a relatively low-risk, potentially high-reward investment proposition. SoundHound AI (SOUN 4.74%) bills its technology as "the conversational AI that speaks for itself." The company's voice AI technology has spurred many others to talk about SoundHound, though. The fact that SoundHound's stock has been a seven-bagger over the last three years underscores the point. However, I think there's another company with voice AI technology that's a better long-term bet than SoundHound AI. It's a tech king and a cash cow with a market cap of over $3.6 trillion. I'm referring to Apple (AAPL +2.97%). Two different strategies You might think that evaluating Apple versus SoundHound AI is like comparing (no pun intended) apples and oranges.

Apple's forte is consumer technology and services, with a massive ecosystem built around its ubiquitous iPhone.

The most obvious battleground for Apple and SoundHound AI is in the automotive market. SoundHound has deals with carmakers including Stellantis (STLA 0.62%) and Hyundai. But Apple boasts a much longer list of auto companies that integrate with its CarPlay. The company's next-generation CarPlay Ultra, which interfaces with a vehicle's dashboard instruments, makes Apple an even more direct competitor to SoundHound. Apple also poses another, less visible threat to SoundHound. While SoundHound's technology is used in restaurant drive-through orderin...
