Kim Forrest, Founder and CIO of Bokeh Capital Partners, discusses her outlook for the markets and Intel shares taking a hit after a report said that Nvidia halted a test to use Intel’s production process to make advanced chips. Nvidia recently tested the so-called 18A process but stopped moving forward, Reuters reported, citing two unidentified people familiar with the matter. Spokespeople for Nvidia and Intel didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. An Intel spokesperson told Reuters that the company’s 18A manufacturing technologies are “progressing well.”
Erik Larson, Bloomberg News US Legal Reporter, on a federal judge’s decision to allow the Trump administration to put a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications. The ruling is seen a setback for US technology companies that rely on hiring skilled foreign workers. US District Judge Beryl Howell said in a ruling Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s effort to radically increase the cost of the popular visa is lawful. The decision gives a boost to the administration’s campaign to restrict immigration and push demand for US workers. The US Chamber of Commerce, which sued to block the proposal, can appeal.
Seema Shah, Vice President of Research and Insights at Sensor Tower, delves into the latest in the battle to acquire Warner Bros Discovery. Ross Gerber, co-founder and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, said in a Bloomberg TV interview that the fight is more about power than financial sense. Paramount Skydance sees the deal as its chance to become a Hollywood powerhouse as fast as possible. A victory for Netflix, on the other hand, would be a crowning achievement, making it possibly the most dominant player ever in entertainment history.
Liz Hart, President of Leasing for North America at Newmark, discusses the health of the US commercial real estate heading into 2026. As an example, Bloomberg Intelligence notes that real estate services provider Mid-America's moderate leverage and expanded liquidity support its ability to fund development and manage debt maturities. Though refinancing is expected to increase interest expense, the company's leverage and maturity profile remain manageable. Expanded borrowing capacity provides flexibility to support investment while maintaining balance-sheet stability.
