I'm standing in front of Nepal's main government complex, the site where thousands of young protesters stormed just over a week ago. More than a dozen people were killed in clashes with police here and many more were injured in riots across the city. But the so-called Gen Z protest movement succeeded in toppling the government here virtually overnight.They forced the resignation of the prime minister and propelled a new unlikely leader into the spotlight. Sushil Ki, a 73-year-old former Supreme Court justic ...

For decades, US business schools like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, and UC Berkeley have been the go-to destination for Indian MBA hopefuls. But India's own B schools are now holding their ground with three universities featured at the top of Bloomberg's best business school rankings in Asia for 202526. The Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore ranked third in Asia two years in a row, right behind the Shangghai University of Finance and Economics and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.Me ...

We are certainly not seeing any problems in the labor force connected to jobless claims. 218,000, a big drop from a revised 232,000 last month. So it doesn't look at this point like we have a firing problem at all.Initial claims, continuing claims, 1,926,000. That's down a little bit from a revised 1,928,000. So all in all, jobless claims numbers still show companies sitting on the sidelines not making decisions.The claims number pretty impressive, say it is. In fact, if I would have just parachuted in from ...

It's great to see you again.Look, you know, walking into the room, y ...

What problems does Intel have that money solves. Well, look, I mean, when you think about, first of all, innovation, I mean, now with Nvidia being a backer, I mean, that's something that's important because, look, I mean, you talked about some of the issues that Intel has had.

Tyler remind us of the process. What exactly happens. I can't seem to remember the last time, even though it wasn't that long ago.Right, exactly. It feels like we go through this process every few months or so, as this Congress has really preferred to do continuing resolutions kicking the can down the road. Now, this marks a significant escalation in rhetoric and threat from the Trump administration, because normally we see those nonessential government workers furloughed but then brought back with back pay ...

And the markets focus a little difficult to pin down, it seems, Marc, today, lots of disparate conversations happening. I know that you're drawn to thinking about the relationship between the dollar and rates. And you see something interesting there, especially coming up to month end.Yes. A couple of things here. I think, first of all, the macro community is starting to warm up to the idea of playing for a bit more of a sustained dollar bounce.Now, short term, that is kind of helped by the idea that into mo ...

The nature of warfare has changed. I think the Ukraine war has really demonstrated that u not only the use of AI, the use of these kinds of lowcost drone capabilities, but the economic equation has changed as well. When you've got these lowcost drones that are able to take out high value targets, whether that's a tank, whether that's a radar installation on a battleship, that really changes the game.And so we see that as that is disruptive and an opportunity. And I think that's one of the reasons why there' ...
