The world feels a very unsettling place, does it not, as we watch Donald Trump’s seemingly unending address to Davos. I get the same feeling watching the other paradigm-shifting global event right now — the Beckham family feud. Some online wags (maybe even some WAGs) are even calling for Keir Starmer to convene an emergency Cobra meeting to discuss the hostilities between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents. Forgive me for the celebrity gossip, I’m coming back to the diet of dystopian predictions coming from Davos. Sometimes the Alpine retreat can struggle for relevance, but 2026 is definitely one of those years when the meeting feels like the world’s most crowded watercooler. Today Trump said in his speech that he is seeking immediate talks to buy Greenland. Actually, the tenor of his remarks perhaps suggested something of an off-ramp: he told the world he does not intend to use force. His talk follows one from Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday, whose speech was notable in the other direction: a statesman-like cri de coeur , where he said the old world order is now a “pleasant fiction” which has been replaced by “ brutal reality.” Time was when Carney used Davos to issue headlines about the challenge of climate and the opportunities of the energy transition. Today it is, as set out here in the Bloomberg Green Daily newsletter , China’s politicians who are putting it on the agenda in Davos. This afternoon Donald Trump denounced the Chinese green tech industry saying: “China makes almost all of the windmills, but I have never been able to find any wind farms in China.” China does, of course, have plenty of wind farms: analysis suggests they installed the equivalent of 5,300 turbines in a single month last year. China’s assiduous courting of this agenda, and the developing nations that can’t afford not to address it, is one of many geopolitical trends that the Trump administration is ideologically opposed to. The US president also used his Davos pulpit to den...

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The semiconductor sector, along with much of the broader market, was mostly in the green during Wednesday market action, with Intel ( INTC ) jumping ahead of the release of its fourth-quarter financial results. Intel shares had climbed 11% by afternoon trading. The company is slated to release its latest quarterly financial results after the markets close on Thursday. Micron Technology ( MU ) was up 7%, AMD ( AMD ) had increased 8%, while Marvell Technology ( MRVL ) had ticked up 4%. Nvidia ( NVDA ) had gained 4%. Cirrus Logic ( CRUS ), GlobalFoundries ( GFS ) and Onsemi ( ON ) were all up more than 5%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ( SOX ) had increased nearly 4%. However, Credo Technology ( CRDO ) had sunk 6%, while Astera Labs ( ALAB ) had dropped 2.3%. Heading into earnings season, J.P. Morgan said many semiconductor firms appear to have " considerable upside" to the AI accelerator total addressable market. The major Wall Street indices were all in the green on Wednesday as well after U.S. President Donald Trump eased market concerns about a U.S. invasion to secure Greenland during a visit to Davos for the World Economic Forum . What's more, Trump said in a post on Truth Social he won't impose the tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on Feb. 1, 2026.

Sales of US Treasury holdings by European pension funds have largely been shrugged off by global investors, so long as they keep their much larger stockpiles of US corporate debt and equities. Speculation that Europe could leverage US assets to retaliate against Donald Trump ’s bid for Greenland has been the chatter on trading floors and at the Davos gathering this week. Yet the reality is that, apart from being hard to do, the most significant exposure is to America’s companies rather than its government, strategists and fund managers say. A case in point is this week’s decision by Danish pension fund AkademikerPension to divest its $100 million of Treasuries, which initially jolted the market on Tuesday. Those holdings pale in comparison to its over $6 billion in US stocks and corporate bonds. And the $30 trillion US Treasury market has coped with other institutions divesting small amounts in recent years, with several German states having cited environmental, social and governance criteria for their moves. “Denmark loves their ESG and many funds could be having a similar conversation,” Jordan Rochester , a head of macro strategy at Mizuho, said about the AkademikerPension decision. Ultimately, they have “small actual holdings in US Treasuries,” he said. It would take a bond move by a larger holder — like Norway’s sovereign wealth fund — to really hurt US capital markets. While that’s seen as unlikely, any major divestment could have a signaling effect that dents confidence in US assets. The risk of Europeans “weaponizing” US assets, highlighted in a Deutsche Bank AG report , led US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to say it “ defies any logic ” and to tell Davos that the German bank’s CEO had called him to dismiss it . He also downplayed AkademikerPension’s decision. Denmark’s investment in US Treasuries is “irrelevant,” Bessent told reporters at Davos. “They’ve been selling Treasuries for years. I’m not concerned at all.” Read more: Bessent Says Sewing Dismissed...
After a teaser campaign that included a world exclusive with Ars , Volvo has officially unveiled its next electric vehicle, the EX60.

After a teaser campaign that included a world exclusive with Ars , Volvo has officially unveiled its next electric vehicle, the EX60. We already knew it would have up to 400 miles of range, according to the US EPA test cycle, and be capable of charging at rates of up to 400 kW. And we learned last week that the EX60 is packed full of powerful computer hardware from Nvidia and Qualcomm, enabling both advanced driver assistance systems and a new AI personal assistant. Today, we got full tech specs for the three different EX60 powertrain variants, as well as a pair of rugged EX60 Cross Country models. P6, P10, P12 The entry-level version of Volvo's next midsize crossover is the EX60 P6. This is a single-motor variant, with 369 hp (275 kW), 354 lb-ft (480 Nm) on tap at the rear wheels. The 80 kWh (usable, 83 kWH gross) battery pack can charge at up to 320 kW and can take as little as 18 minutes to DC charge from 10 to 80 percent. The EX60 will also be the first Volvo model on sale in the US with a built-in NACS port. Range for the P6 version is 310 miles (490 km) when fitted with 20-inch wheels; subtract 10 miles (16 km) for the 21-inch wheels and 20 miles (32 km) for the 22-inch wheels. 0–60 mph (0–98 km/h) takes 5.7 seconds, and like all modern Volvos, the EX60 is speed-limited to 112 mph (180 km/h). (Again, all range estimates are based on the US EPA test cycle; if you see different numbers online at non-US publications, those are using Europe's WLTP test.) Read full article Comments

Volvo's EX60, with fast-charging capabilities and a brand-new electric architecture, made its official debut today, with the Swedish automaker positioning the crossover EV as a new direction for its battery-powered lineup. With up to 400 miles of estimated range and an 800-volt architecture for ultra-fast charging , the EX60 feels like a concerted effort by Volvo to address some of the most common pain points of EV ownership. But it also represents Volvo's effort to reshuffle its supply chain and production process for a better chance at earning a profit on its EV lineup . At first glance, the EX60 looks a little familiar, with an exterior de … Read the full story at The Verge.

ServiceNow announced a multi-year partnership with OpenAI t o bring GPT-5.2 into its AI Control Tower and Xanadu platform, reinforcing ServiceNow’s strategy to focus on enterprise workflows, guardrails, and orchestration rather than building frontier models itself. For enterprise buyers, the deal underscores a broader shift: general-purpose models are becoming interchangeable, while the platforms that control how they’re deployed and governed are where differentiation now lives. ServiceNow lets enterprises develop agents and applications , plug them into existing workflows, and manage orchestration and monitoring through its unified AI Control Tower. The partnership does not mean ServiceNow will no longer use other models to power its services, said John Aisien, senior vice president of product management at ServiceNow. "We will remain an open platform. There are things we will partner on with each of the model providers, depending on their expertise. Still, ServiceNow will continue to support a hybrid, multi-model AI strategy where customers can bring any model to our AI platform,” Aisien said in an email to VentureBeat. “Instead of exclusivity, we give enterprise customers maximum flexibility by combining powerful general-purpose models with our own LLMs built for ServiceNow workflows.” What the OpenAI partnership unlocks for ServiceNow customers ServiceNow customers get: Voice-first agents: Speech-to-speech and voice-to-text support Enterprise knowledge access: Q&A grounded in enterprise data, with improved search and discovery Operational automation: Incident summarization and resolution support ServiceNow said it plans to work directly with OpenAI to build “real-time speech-to-speech AI agents that can listen, reason and respond naturally without text intermediation.” The company is also interested in tapping OpenAI’s computer use models to automate actions across enterprise tools such as email and chat.

There are only two non-tech companies that are currently valued at over $1 trillion (out of 11), and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) is one of them. As of market close on Jan. 16, Berkshire Hathaway's Class B shares were $493.29, meaning it would need close to a 22% increase to hit the $600 mark. If you're investing in Berkshire Hathaway expecting that to happen in the next few months, then you're investing in the company for the wrong reasons. Of course, it can happen, but Berkshire Hathaway is more of a value play than a high-growth stock. Yes, it routinely outperforms the S&P 500 (it didn't in 2025), but the expectation shouldn't be 20%-plus gains year in and year out. That said, I'd imagine that Berkshire Hathaway hits the $600 mark within the next couple of years, so if you're in it for the long haul, you're likely to be rewarded. Continue reading
