Felipe Sinisterra和Dave Wang靠着教导华尔街银行家如何完善他们的AI计划,拿到极为丰厚的报酬。 3月的一个下午,两位炙手可热的AI教练在纽约一家创投基金为员工授课。31岁的Wang示范如何利用Google母公司Alphabet开发的AI模型Gemini来分析创业者的简报影片。他还演示了一款结合联邦调查局(FBI)所用行为分析法的网路应用程序,可通过比对逐字稿与肢体动作、面部表情等视觉线索,侦测出潜在警讯。 随后,30岁的Sinisterra向学员们示范如何使用OpenAI的ChatGPT和Anthropic的Claude分析财报电话会议记录,从中找出最能左右市场走势的言论。该系统执行了情绪分析,并将管理阶层的谈话转化为量化的试算表数据,用以预测未来的财务表现。学员们亲眼见证了AI如何协助简化日常工作中最耗费人力的环节。 当天收费是多少?25000美元。而且课程预约已排到两个月后。 “现在人们把AI视为获得竞争优势的工具,视为一种进攻手段,”Sinisterra说。“未来人们会把它视为必需品。” 大型银行深陷AI焦虑,正寻求招募更多AI专家,并缩减传统银行业务职位。渣打银行准备在未来四年内裁减数千个支援职位。花旗集团、 富国银行 和 美国银行 在2026年第一季共裁员超过5,000人,尽管获利创下纪录最佳。 高阶主管们不惜砸下重金,期盼将这项技术应用于基础任务之外,他们甚至亲自测试各种AI工具,进而形成了由上而下、要求全体员工全面导入该技术的压力。Sinisterra和Wang曾是任职 软银 的基金经理,他们正向这些渴望转型的公司贩售驾驭AI的信心与熟练度。 知情人士透露,他们在2025年7月创立Wall Street Prompt,一直与T. Rowe Price Group Inc.、花旗集团和美国银行合作。知情人士表示,T. Rowe Price曾聘请这两人为其投资专业人士提供培训。知情人士也表示,花旗和美国银行则邀请他们为外部基金客户开设培训课程。受保密协议约束的Wall Street Prompt拒绝证实其客户名单。T. Rowe Price、花旗和美国银行也不愿对特定供应商的培训发表评论。 技能门槛升高 金融机构对AI并非总是热情拥抱。2022年,ChatGPT推出时,主要的全球银行因担心安全漏洞,纷纷限制在其内部网路使用该聊天机器...

krblokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images On May 22nd, shares of Flowers Foods ( FLO ) plunged 13.3%. This came after management announced financial results for the first quarter of the company's 2026 fiscal year. Even though revenue and earnings per share fell short of what analysts anticipated, there was optimism from market participants because adjusted earnings per share came in higher than what had been forecasted. Management is making concerted efforts to cut costs. And even though overall profitability is down year over year, even at a time when revenue continues to climb, it is clear that a turnaround is in play here. Despite the fact that financial performance on the bottom line has suffered in recent years, the stock trades at low multiples, even on a forward basis. This is true on both an absolute basis and relative to other similar firms. This makes me feel rather confident in the company. This is good because, since I last wrote about it in July of last year, shares have plunged 47.7%. The S&P 500, meanwhile, is up 16.7% since then. Given my own view of the company, I do believe that rating it a ‘buy’ makes sense here. A Turnaround Play In my view, Flowers Foods is definitely looking like an appetizing turnaround play. For those not familiar with the firm, it operates as the second-largest producer and marketer of packaged bakery foods in the US. Examples of brands that it offers include Nature’s Own, Dave’s Killer Bread, Canyon Bakehouse, Simple Mills, Wonder, and Tastykake. Through these brand names, it sells various items like breads, buns, cookies, crackers, bars, cakes, bagels, English muffins, tortillas, baking mixes, and the like. There is a high probability that you have at least one of its items in your house now or have had one in it in the last year. I say this because the company sees its product sold all throughout the nation. Just last year, even, the firm purchased Simple Mills, a provider of premium better-for-you cakes, cookies, snack...

Wheat futures were on track to extend their longest losing streak since January, as traders returning from a US holiday digested progress in negotiations to end the war in the Middle East. The most-active wheat futures in Chicago fell as much as 1.6%, retreating for a fourth consecutive session. Soy and corn futures also traded lower. Grain markets on the Chicago Board of Trade were closed for the US Memorial Day holiday. That means Tuesday’s market shift reflected traders’ first reaction to increased optimism around a potential deal to end the three-month conflict. US President Donald Trump said talks with Iran to extend a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz were “ proceeding nicely .” A deal to unblock the strait would help to restore the flow of fuel and fertilizers on which farmers rely for their crops, likely pushing global grain production higher. The drop in wheat prices was limited, however, after crude oil rebounded on Tuesday on reports of fresh US strikes in Iran, said Joe Davis , commodities director at Illinois-based brokerage Futures International LLC. American forces struck Iranian missile-launch sites and boats trying to place mines, US Central Command said in a statement. Explosions were heard around Hormuz, near the coastal cities of Sirik and Jask, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported. “The war-risk premium is being added back into the market,” Davis said. Wheat fell 1.1% to $6.39 a bushel as of 10:07 a.m. in Singapore Corn was down 1% to $4.5850 a bushel, while soybeans fell 0.5%

(RTTNews) - Indian shares look set to open a tad lower on Tuesday as investors parse the latest developments in the Middle East and monitor oil price movements. Brent crude futures climbed above $98 a barrel due to continued tensions around Hormuz following reports of American and Israeli strikes on Iranian vessels. The U.S. conducted 'self-defense strikes' on Iranian missile launch sites and boats near the Strait of Hormuz, clouding the outlook for an interim deal between Washinton and Tehran. Defense forces across the Gulf are on high alert as Iran pressed ahead with waves of missile and drone attacks on the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain. Ahead of a third round of diplomatic negotiations between the U.S. and Iran in Geneva today, differences persist over nuclear issues, sanctions relief and regional conflict terms. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqai said there was some progress in talks with the U.S., but a deal "is not imminent" and that no one can make such a claim. Benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty jumped 1.4 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively on Monday on the back of firm cues from global markets following a sharp plunge in crude oil prices. The rupee closed higher at 95.23 against the dollar, extending gains for a third consecutive session after RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra indicated that the rupee may be undervalued and that the central bank is prepared to support the local currency to manage any speculative pressures. FIIs were net buyers of shares to the extent of Rs. 822 crore on Monday, while domestic financial institutions net bought shares worth Rs. 3,857 crore, according to provisional exchange data. Asian markets were mostly lower this morning, even as Seoul stocks surged as trading resumed after a holiday. The dollar wobbled amid uncertainty over the U.S.-Iran draft agreement, while gold was subdued at $4,538 an ounce. U.S. markets were closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. European stocks rose sharply on Monday, reaching their h...
