In today's episode on 22nd August 2025, we tell you why S&P Global hadn't upgraded India's sovereign credit rating for 18 years, and why it has finally done so now.
Is data the end-all be-all of marketing? Or should marketers trust their instincts more, finding the courage to make decisions that don't always hide behind dashboards? Francesco Federico, CMO at S&P Global, talks about the push and pull of data and instinct in today's marketing, on the latest podcast episode. We then dissect his shiny new object: agentic AI. Is it truly new? How does agentic AI differ from simply using a tool? And how will it alter the future of marketing? Tune in to find out.
En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Eugenio Garibay y Andre Dos Santos desmenuzan el reporte de S&P Global que reafirma la calificación de EE.UU. y destaca que la recaudación por aranceles podría ayudar a compensar parte del costo del “Big Beautiful Bill”, con lectura fiscal, de tasas y de curva.Luego pasan a la jornada política en Washington: la visita de Volodímir Zelenski para reunirse con Donald Trump, la caravana de líderes europeos y el inusual protocolo que abrió preguntas sobre quién llevó la batuta del encuentro, hilando qué puede venir para el frente diplomático de Ucrania. Cierran en corporativos con Home Depot: resultados sólidos pero con mezcla prudente (proyectos pequeños firmes, “big ticket” contenidos), y lo que eso sugiere sobre la salud del consumidor, la vivienda y el ciclo de mejoras del hogar.
商战豪门剧是香港TVB最拿手的一种主题套路，某种程度上也折射了整座城市的日常兴趣。2025年6月底，城中的热点之一就是这么一个故事：香港最大的地产商之一新世界发展，最终艰难完成了价值886亿港元的债务重组。新世界发展背后是“四大家族”之一的郑氏家族，它的第三代核心人物郑志刚也随着债务重组的完成，彻底退出家族生意。过去十年中，郑志刚创立的商业地产品牌K11一度名声大噪，颇有压倒老品牌“新世界”的趋势。家族第一代郑裕彤的周大福珠宝依旧在赚钱，虽然这种传统的珠光宝气已经很少再被提起。这种张扬与低调并存的矛盾，是郑氏家族管理的大公司身上普遍具有的共性。爽剧源自现实，却不一定是现实的全部。以上种种，都不能直接推导出新世界发展暴雷的原因。所以本期节目，我们结合郑氏家族的发展史，以及新世界发展等上市公司的财报数据，为这家看起来“大而不能倒”的公司重新开一份深究病因的诊断书。注：节目中对于郑裕彤的去世时间叙述有误（应为2016年），在此更正并致歉。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |01:26 商界豪门的流行叙事03:57 由郑裕彤开创的家族产业10:50 多层集团结构如何惠及家族18:56 新世界发展的收入核心到底是什么？25:40 K11对于新世界发展的意义36:56 分层理解新世界发展的债务危机48:16 债务重组后，拆弹工作就结束了吗？54:02 一切都关乎于信誉| 延伸资料 |Bloomberg-New World Gets 100% Lender Approval for $11 Billion RefinancingHow a Hong Kong Dynasty Was Hit by China's Property Crisis郑氏家族的家族关系及任职情况新世界发展的历年年报周大福创建（原名新创建）的历年年报周大福珠宝的历年年报Bloomberg-Casino Wants to Use Jewelry to Track Down the World's Top GamblersS&P Global-中国开发商的永续债或将继续存续（首发于2022年）| 后期制作 |KK| 声音设计 |刘三菜| 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ 音乐、荔枝、豆瓣等平台收听节目。| 认识我们 |微信公众号：第一财经 YiMagazine联系我们：thatisbiz@yicai.com

The PJM capacity auction this month broke records with sky-high wholesale power prices — and that was by design. Under PJM's auction rules, tight supply raises prices, incentivizing the development of new generation and encouraging existing generation to stay online. The big driver of that tight supply? Data-center driven load growth. The independent system operator covers Virginia, one of the densest and fastest-growing regions for data center development. So will higher wholesale prices incentivize enough generation to meet load growth without provoking the public with higher bills? In this episode, Shayle talks to Steve Piper, research director of North American power and renewables at S&P Global. Steve and Shayle cover topics like: Why Steve says PJM and other stakeholders became concerned that low prices weren't incentivizing enough generation to stay on the market Why ISOs upping resource adequacy requirements across technologies, while raising targets for reserve margins The bottlenecks slowing down the development of new generation What's holding back demand response in the auction Resources: Latitude Media: Will Pennsylvania be the nation's AI-energy model? PJM: PJM Auction Procures 134,311 MW of Generation Resources; Supply Responds to Price Signal Utility Dive: PJM capacity prices set another record with 22% jump Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Paul Gruenwald, chief economist at S&P Global Ratings, says he expects a jump in consumer prices to 3.5 percent by the end of the year, and — while he thinks the move will be temporary or a one-time response to resolution of tariff uncertainty — he expects that to make the Federal Reserve more cautious about cutting rates. That's especially true because he expects economic growth to slow from about 3% early in the year to just above 1% by year's end. Despite that damper on growth, he says the economy will avoid a recession, muddling through a period of doldrums. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, makes the ETF variation of one of the greatest mutual funds of all time his pick for the ETF of the Week, and Chuck tackles Wednesday's news from the Federal Reserve, noting that if rate cuts happen this year — he's been skeptical for months — they will still disappoint investors and economists who now seem certain that the Fed will move at its next meeting in September.

It's not for the faint of heart: succeeding as a manufacturer in the fiercely competitive solar and energy storage industries. So, why do some companies thrive, while others fail? As relatively young industries, clean energy markets offer rapid opportunities – but they can disappear just as quickly. The solar industry, in particular, has seen a long list of manufacturers rise and fall amid shifting market forces and policy landscapes. Today, with solar nearing maturity and battery storage following close behind, there's renewed optimism. Greater policy stability, growing investor confidence, and economies of scale could pave the way for a more resilient and diverse manufacturing ecosystem. How this plays out will vary across regions – making it all the more important to examine what's working, what's not, and what lessons we can take forward. Jonathan Gifford discusses in this podcast with Ivan Saha, Sebastian Gatz, and Josefin Berg, why the competition in the solar industry and energy storage market is so challenging. About the Speakers Ivan Saha is the CEO of Renewable Manufacturing at Reliance Infrastructure (Rinfra). Before this, he worked at the Indian solar manufacturer Vikram Solar for nearly a decade, serving as both CTO and CEO. Sebastian Gatz is the Vice President, Renewable Energies & Strategic Partnerships at Von Ardenne. Before joining Von Ardenne, Gatz had diverse experience with production equipment suppliers, including Meyer Burger and Manz. Josefin Berg is a Research & Analysis Manager for Solar & Energy Storage at S&P Global Commodity Insights. She has worked in solar and storage analysis at IHS Markit, which was then acquired by S&P, for approximately 15 years.

Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Daniel Yergin: Why did you describe the energy transition as troubled and in need of a pragmatic path forward? Do you believe there is a growing consensus that the “fast energy transition” scenario is unrealistic? Do you anticipate Europe softening its green policies and subsidies or extending timelines for net-zero goals? How do you foresee the trade war and competition between the G2 (the United States and China) evolving? How dominant is China in clean energy, and what implications does this hold for the United States' ability to compete? What is OPEC's motivation for reintroducing supply to the market during a period of weaker demand? What strategy would you recommend for Canada to address US trade pressures and potential annexation threats?

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1011: Today we're breaking down the early fallout from sweeping auto tariffs, Toyota's recalibrated EV strategy, and why Gen Z is ghosting credit cards.Show Notes with links:The 25% tariff on imported vehicles is forcing swift and varied responses from automakers, with some pulling back and others ramping up U.S. operations. The early shakeup shows just how disruptive the new trade landscape could become.Stellantis paused production at Canadian and Mexican plants and laid off 1,000 U.S. workers.Infiniti halted U.S.-bound production of the QX50 and QX55 “until further notice.”VW stopped rail shipments from Mexico; Audi is holding vehicles at U.S. ports post-tariff. JLR is temporarily pausing US shipments.GM is boosting pickup production in Indiana, and Mercedes may shift another model to Alabama.Ferrari and Ineos raised prices up to 11%, while Ford and Stellantis launched deep discounts to keep buyers interested.“Consumers will feel financial pain faster than they will see new jobs,” warned S&P Global's Stephanie Brinley.Once criticized for lagging in the EV race, Toyota is charting a new path with more in-house models and global production—but with tempered expectations. The automaker is still prioritizing flexibility as it balances EV growth with its hybrid-heavy portfolio.The Japanese manufacturer aims to launch 15 internally developed EVs by 2027, including several Lexus models.New production sites in the U.S., Thailand, and Argentina are planned to hedge tariff risks and improve delivery timelines.The target is 1 million EVs per year by 2027—down from earlier projections of 1.5 million by 2026.In 2024, Toyota sold just under 140,000 EVs, less than 2% of its global volume of over 10 million vehicles.A new survey reveals Gen Z's growing distrust of credit cards, with many opting for debit, cash, and peer-to-peer options instead. High APRs, confusing terms, and debt fears are driving a generational payment shift that could reshape future retail habits.68% of Gen Z say credit card bills cause stress; 51% say cards give them the “ick.”Debit (68%) and cash (67%) top Gen Z's preferred payment methods—only 35% use credit cards, with 82% of respondents overall saying credit cards are “financially dangerous.”57% of Gen Z admit they don't fully understand card terms, and 53% have been surprised by interest charges.“It doesn't make sense to pay 20%, 25% or 30% in interest just to earn a few percentage points in cash back,” said Ted Rossman, Bankrate senior analyst.Join hosts Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Today we had the honor of welcoming back our good friend Dr. Dan Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global, Chairman of CERAWeek, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Prize” and more recently “The New Map.” He is widely recognized as one of the foremost experts on energy, geopolitics, and the global economy and his achievements and contributions to the energy industry are immense. We were delighted to have an hour of Dan's time to hear his latest insights on the evolving energy landscape and to preview key themes and discussions at CERAWeek, which is kicking off in just under two weeks. This Tuesday, Dan's paper, co-authored with Peter Orszag and Atul Arya, was published in Foreign Affairs titled “The Troubled Energy Transition: How to Find a Pragmatic Path Forward” (linked here). Dan also recently co-authored an article titled “The importance of US LNG for economic growth and the global energy transition” (linked here). In our conversation with Dan, we explore key themes from both pieces, including the challenges of balancing energy security, economic growth, and the global energy transition. We ask Dan for his perspective on today's complex geopolitical environment, the influence of the current U.S. administration on energy and regulation, and global energy competition, including the divide between developed and developing nations, where economic growth and energy access remain a top priority. We touch on key topics and speakers at CERAWeek, including new discussions on trade and industrial policy, the future of aviation fuel, Saudi Aramco's experience with solar, and the growing momentum behind fusion energy, just to name a few. Dan shares insights into the historical context of today's energy transition, emphasizing that it is an energy addition rather than a transition, along with misconceptions about how transitions unfold and the evolving role of critical minerals in global energy policy. We discuss the potential for a resolution in the Russia-Ukraine war, its implications for commodity markets and geopolitical strategy, and the broader complexities of managing volatility in today's rapidly shifting energy landscape. As always, it was our pleasure to visit with Dan and we appreciate his thoughtfulness and optimism for the future of energy. Thank you, Dan, for joining us! Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting that broader equity markets seem to be entirely focused on AI-related news this week. He noted that rumors earlier this week that Microsoft was cancelling data center leases have slammed the stock prices of IPP & Electrical Providers. NVIDIA reports Q4 results after Wednesday's close, which will set the tone for equities (AI Tech & IPPs) through the end of the week. On the crude oil market front, over the last week WTI price has sunk ~$3/bbl ($69/bbl) on several factors, chief among them being growing optimism of a potential Ukrainian ceasefire. Offsetting this potentially bearish oil news is a growing belief that OPEC will delay April scheduled production increases to 2H'25. He rounded out the conversation by highlighting that the focal story in Energy equities this week is BP's Capital Markets Day (set for Wednesday, details linked here). He noted that BP has previously indicated that the theme for their Capital Markets Day will be a “fundamental reset of strategy” and that investors aren't going to settle for small changes, rather, they're demanding a wholesale retreat from renewables, significant non-core asset sales and a total refocus on fossil fuels. Jeff Tillery also joined and
In this episode of Market Mondays, we explore whether the S&P 500 is heading toward a lost decade with lower-than-expected returns or if industries like AI, cloud computing, and semiconductors will continue driving growth. We also discuss Bitcoin as an investment for kids—should parents consider crypto as a long-term wealth-building tool? Additionally, with Trump's economic policies shaking the markets, we analyze which three stocks are best positioned to thrive despite tariff pressures and political uncertainty.This week's earnings breakdown includes key reports from McDonald's, Shopify, Medpace, S&P Global, Applovin, and Palo Alto Networks—which stocks look strongest for future gains? We also examine Palantir (PLTR) and its potential 2025 valuation, discuss how to stay disciplined in investing when greed and fear take over, and explore subscription-based stocks beyond Netflix that offer stable recurring revenue. Plus, we take a deep dive into the energy sector and its 2025 outlook, with a focus on Chevron (CVX), ExxonMobil (XOM), and EQT—will oil remain dominant, or will renewables take the lead?To wrap up, we sit down with John Hope Bryant, a champion of financial literacy and wealth-building, to discuss how individuals can shift their mindset from consumer to investor. He shares key strategies for breaking generational cycles of poverty and taking control of financial futures. This is an episode packed with insights for investors of all levels—don't miss it!
