A busy day for tech earnings across Asia and the U.S. Samsung's chip business posted a sharp profit jump on strong AI demand and announced a major buyback, while SK Hynix delivered its best quarter on record. In the U.S., Microsoft shares slipped as cloud growth slowed despite record AI spending, Meta's strong ad business is funding big investments in artificial intelligence, and Tesla beat profit expectations while unveiling plans to invest $2 billion in Elon Musk's AI company, xAI. We break down the results with Daniel Newman, CEO of the Futurum Group.

And -  Jerome Powell has two more opportunities to adjust interest rates before his term as Federal Reserve chair ends — and he may not need them. After the Fed kept borrowing costs on hold Wednesday, Powell talked up a "clear improvement" in the US outlook and said the job market shows signs of steadying. It signals a cautious optimism: Fed officials delivered three cuts last fall, and see nothing in the latest data to suggest more are needed to prop up the economy. For more on the outlook, we heard from Jeanette Garretty, Principal and Managing Director at Robertson Stephens. She spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on the Asia Trade.

The dollar slumped to its lowest since early 2022 after President Donald Trump indicated he's comfortable with its recent decline. "No, I think it's great," Trump told reporters in Iowa on Tuesday when asked if he was worried about the currency's drop. "I think the value of the dollar — look at the business we're doing. The dollar's doing great." Trump's comments added fuel to what was already the dollar's deepest drop since his tariff rollout sent markets into a tailspin last year and fanned fears that his erratic policy shifts would drive overseas investors to pull back from the US. After his comments the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index extended losses to as much as 1.2%, as the US currency weakened against all of its major counterparts before steadying somewhat in Asia trading Wednesday. For more on the dollar, we heard from Robert Kaplan, Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman and Former Dallas Fed President. He spoke to Bloomberg's Stephen Engle at the Goldman Sachs Global Macro Conference Asia Pacific.

Plus - Microsoft, Meta and Tesla are among the companies expected to report results on Jan. 28 US. For more on what to look out for in the latest tech earnings and the overall AI trade, we heard from Phil Palumbo, Founder, CEO and Chief Investment Officer, Palumbo Wealth Management.
