The day's business news is dominated by a sharp spike in oil prices and renewed inflation fears, with analysts warning of a 'late-stage bubble.' Meanwhile, Google is making a massive bet on Finnish AI infrastructure, and Anthropic is at the center of two very different controversies.
Rising oil prices and a looming CPI report are putting pressure on central banks and reviving inflation worries.
An analyst calls it a 'late-stage bubble' as surging oil prices and rising bond yields reignite inflation fears, with Brent crude hitting a four-month high.
Oil prices are up 13% in a week, hitting $107.86 for Brent, driven by escalating Gulf hostilities and supply disruption fears.
Wall Street is bracing for the August CPI report, as even a small upside surprise could push the Fed toward a rate hike at its September meeting.
Diesel prices are nearing $6 a gallon for the first time, with a 61% surge over the past year putting pressure on transport and consumer prices.
Google's record investment in Finland signals confidence in AI's future, while Anthropic navigates accusations of surveillance and unauthorized data use.
Google is pouring €13 billion into Finland for three new data centers and a nuclear power deal, its largest single European investment to date.
Anthropic says Chinese AI labs routed user requests to Claude at least 35 million times this summer, likely to train their own models.
Anthropic is reportedly building a surveillance system to monitor anti-AI activists and predict protests, raising pre-crime concerns.
