Derek Halpenny, head of FX research at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, said in a note the near-term risk of further euro depreciation is rising. He cited weekend local-election losses for Chancellor Merz’s CDU, elevated energy prices and French political uncertainty as potential additional pressures. Technically the euro is weakening, breaking key levels. Halpenny added that while the move is currently driven more by US dollar strength, if adverse energy terms-of-trade shocks begin to dent corpo

據蓋洛普與微軟合作開展的關於AI看法的持續性研究，人工智能的使用程度可以“階梯”呈現，即從最初的瞭解，到曾經用過，再到更頻繁地使用。在受訪的37個國家/地區中，隨着使用程度的加深，處於階梯各階段的成年人比例通常會相應下降。雖然人工智能的認知度中位數爲81%，但曾經使用過人工智能（無論是出於工作還是個人目的）的比例中位數僅爲43%，而頻繁使用者的比例則更低。人工智能的普及程度在不同國家/地區之間也存在顯著差異。在新加坡，96%的成年人瞭解人工智能，79%的人曾經使用過人工智能，46%的人每天都使用人工智能。而在馬拉維，只有12%的成年人瞭解人工智能，3%的人曾經使用過人工智能，1%的人每天都使用人工智能。這種對比凸顯了在高度互聯、以技術爲中心的環境之外，人工智能的普及程度可能截然不同。

ECB Governing Council member and Bundesbank president Nagel said persistent high energy prices could force the ECB to raise rates to a level that suppresses growth, potentially moving policy into a mildly restrictive range. He added it is too early to draw conclusions. Nagel warned upcoming wage negotiations, including in Germany, could trigger second-round inflation effects, and the longer high energy prices persist the greater that risk. On the Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI), he said it can only be activated if monetary policy transmission is impaired and is not intended to address a euro-area country's fiscal problems.
