TNB Tech Minute: Trump's Megabill May Give Boost to Chinese EV Makers - Tech News Briefing
Full Transcript This transcript was prepared by a transcription service. This version may not be in its final form and may be updated. Julie Chang: Here's your TNB Tech minute for Tuesday, July 8th. I'm Julie Chang for the Wall Street Journal. China's electric vehicle makers are anticipating greater growth following the signing of President Trump's US mega bill, that's according to the secretary general of the China Passenger Car Association today. The US law will end subsidies for EVs bought after September. The head of the Chinese Auto Industry Group said the bill should give China greater room to develop in overseas markets. According to the association, exports of new energy vehicles from China, which includes EVs and plug-in hybrids, jumped 48% in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year. Plus the mega bill's no tax on tips provision could bring in a two-point-five percent pay bump for Uber drivers. A couple of Bank of America analysts said in a research note that that could provide a modest tailwind to supply, which could help Uber collect more fees. The note also said the right-hill company may benefit from potential autonomous vehicles, saying Uber is backing an AV fleet manager that's raising $1.2 billion to finance a partnership with Waymo. Finally, Boldstart Ventures has raised a $250 million artificial intelligence fund. The vehicle will target AI founders at early stages of development, Boldstart will target sectors including AI infrastructure and application layer startups, cyber and crypto. According to data provider, CB Insights, in this year's first quarter, there were eight early-stage AI financings worldwide of $100 million or more, a quarterly record. And a reminder that we're on a new schedule starting this week, we'll have another tech minute for you tomorrow morning with full TNB episodes in the feed early on Tuesdays and Fridays.

OPEC+ lifts oil output: What investors need to know
Oil prices (CL=F, BZ=F) are in focus after OPEC+ boosted oil output to 548,000 barrels a day, compared to the 411,000 barrels a day in the three months prior. Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Ines Ferré outlines the latest. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime here. Oil prices reversing earlier losses amid strong demand and a tight market, even as investors consider the impact of OPEC+ hiking oil output more than expected in August. Yahoo Finances' Ines Ferre has the details on all of this. Good morning, Ines. Good morning, Julie, and OPEC+ deciding to increase oil production by 548,000 barrels per day. That is more than what the street had been expecting. Remember that the street was expecting 411,000 barrels per day, which is what they did in May, June and July. And by the way, for September, Wall Street is now expecting that OPEC+ will increase production again as they unwind these production cuts that they have had over the last couple of years. Oil today is trading a little bit higher, part of this has to do with the fact that the street is saying, "Look, there is still robust demand for oil." So you have global inventories that are low, which is something that OPEC+ had cited when they made this decision. And also of course, you've got the tariff delay to August 1st, that is bullish for oil, and especially if it gets delayed again. Longer term, though, you do have Wall Street that is expecting oil prices to go down on this increased supply. Goldman Sachs is expecting that by the end of the year, you are going to see Brent coming down to $59 per barrel. Right now Brent is trading around 68 per barrel, so that is quite a fall. And for next year, you also have Wall Street that is expecting oil prices to go even lower. Part of the main part of this has to do with OPEC+ is now regaining market share, and they are doing this by increasing production. Ines, thank you very much. We'll check back in with you later.
