Women currently control about one-third of the world's wealth and that figure is expected to rise to 50% by the end of the decade, according to research data from BlackRock.

Watch Bloomberg Businessweek Daily LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Investors spooked by the implosion of auto lender Tricolor Holdings and car-parts supplier First Brands Group got little reassurance Tuesday from the head of the biggest US bank.“My antenna goes up when things like that happen,” Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s chief executive officer, said on a call with analysts. “I probably shouldn’t say this, but when you see one cockroach, there are probably more. Everyone should be forewarned on this one.”The pair of bankruptcies were a shock for the credit markets, where companies have been borrowing at a record pace while handing investors outsized returns. And Dimon, fresh off posting results that put his bank on track for another record year, said there could be more pain than usual when the economy takes a turn for the worse. In drawing attention to investors’ growing disillusionment with public vehicles that hold private-debt investments, Dimon touched on a niche corner of the market where investors are on the lookout for signs of widening cracks in debt markets.Investors have been fleeing BDCs, seen as a proxy for the $1.7 trillion private-credit market, as they cut distributions available to shareholders. That has opened a widening gap between the broader equity market and private-credit BDC stocks. Last month, the $75 billion non-traded Blackstone Private Credit Fund, the largest in the industry, said it was reducing its shareholder payouts.Today's show features: Bloomberg News Chief Wall Street Correspondent Sridhar Natarajan and Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Analyst for Global Investment Banks & Asset Managers Alison Williams on quarterly bank earnings from JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Wells Fargo Bloomberg News US Semiconductor Reporter Ian King on Oracle’s deal to deploy a large batch of AMD’s forthcoming MI450 chips next year Cathy Seifert, Vice President of CFRA Research, on BlackRock’s quarterly earnings and outlook Bloomberg News Global Economy Reporter Enda Curran US China on global trade shifts brought on by tariffs See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At long last we have peace in the Middle East,” Trump said. “Now the rebuilding begins.”Yet the nascent ceasefire remains fragile, with many key details left to be worked out.

Rick Caruso has amassed a $5.8 billion fortune building open-air malls known for their relentlessly cheerful, Disneyfied aesthetic, with dancing fountains and sightseeing trolleys. He moonlighted in local California politics, emerging as a civic fixer for a series of mayors who turned to him when they had a difficult or distasteful task they needed done. Caruso vied for office himself in 2022, spending $107 million of his personal fortune on a run for LA mayor, casting himself as a centrist Democrat who had a businessman’s knack for problem-solving. He lost soundly and seemed to recede from view, a mogul without a public cause to champion.The wildfires that ripped through parts Southern California in January have since thrust Caruso back into the spotlight, with the business mogul blaming the area's response to the fires on local leaders, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, the progressive who beat him in the 2022 election. Caruso discusses his state's path to economic recovery as well as whether he plans to once again seek political office with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily, which was broadcasting live from Bloomberg Screentime in LA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Watch Bloomberg Businessweek LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.US President Donald Trump threatened a “massive increase” of tariffs on goods from China and to cancel an upcoming meeting with the country’s leader, Xi Jinping, citing recent “hostile” export controls Beijing placed on rare-earth minerals.“I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so,” Trump posted Friday on social media.The president added that one form of retaliation the US is considering “is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America,” adding that “there are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration.”Markets recoiled at the president’s comments, which portended fresh trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies.

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. landed a blockbuster deal with OpenAI to build artificial intelligence infrastructure, giving the chipmaker a chance to show it can mount a challenge to Nvidia Corp. in the AI computing industry. AMD shares soared 24% to $203.71 after the agreement was announced Monday, adding $63.4 billion to the company’s market valuation. It’s now worth $330.6 billion, more than Coca-Cola Co., General Electric Co. or Chevron Corp.  OpenAI will deploy 6 gigawatts’ worth of AMD graphics processing units over multiple years, according to the pact, which is just over half the size of an agreement the AI startup recently reached with Nvidia. It also sets the stage for OpenAI to acquire a large stake in the chipmaker. The deal represents a high-stakes test for AMD — one that could deliver tens of billions of dollars in new revenue and burnish its status as a serious contender in AI technology. There are also risks: It further ties AMD’s prosperity to an AI market that some worry is in a bubble.
