Industrial production figures will be announced today.

The rise in global markets continues, led by chip stocks. While US stock markets closed yesterday with increases exceeding 2 percent, Asian markets continue today with increases exceeding 2 percent.

The rise was driven by the analysis that artificial intelligence spending is not done on a blank wall, that Anthropic and OpenAI’s revenues exceed 10 billion dollars, which means opportunities. On the other hand, the expectation that the democrats, who won both wings in the USA, will not restrict artificial intelligence expenditures is one of the developments that are effective in the rise.

The overwhelming victory of the Democrats was the message of the US people to “leave Iran and focus on the inside”. This forces Trump to make an agreement with Iran that will also open the Strait of Hormuz. Negotiations between the USA and Iran continue under the mediation of Qatar.
