Демократическая партия США может выиграть достаточно мест в конгрессе, чтобы получить большинство в палате представителей и ослабить позиции республиканцев в сенате. Об этом говорится в новом прогнозе аналитического агентства Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). Таким образом, в палате представителей демократы могут увеличить свое присутствие до 227 мест против 208 у республиканцев. А в сенате из 100 мандатов они могут получить 50 против 50 у республиканцев. Шансы демпартии на победу в палате представителей DDHQ оценило в 65%, а шансы на абсолютную победу – в 40%.

Мы видели снижение стоимости акций, облигаций. Не стали исключением драгметаллы, нефть, криптовалюты и другие активы. На этом фоне выделяется один сегмент, который не только продемонстрировал устойчивость, но и показал рост. Это денежный рынок.

Инструменты, основанные на использовании искусственного интеллекта (ИИ), уже стали частью медиабизнеса, но пока, как любят говорить аналитики, они используются в основном для оптимизации рутинных операций – например, для работы с новостными лентами. Жанр редакционной колонки относится как бы к наиболее охраняемой области – это подчеркнуто авторское высказывание. А между тем становится, конечно, все труднее удерживаться от соблазна обратиться к ИИ-модели.
