  • China warns carmakers of risks in building plants overseas, sources say

    China's commerce ministry has warned the country's carmakers of the risks of making auto-related investments overseas at a recent meeting, said two people briefed about the matter, as they seek global expansion to counter slowing growth in their home market. At a meeting held in early July, the ministry told local carmakers not to invest in India, citing a directive from the central government, "strongly advised" against investing in Russia and Turkey, and used a more gentle tone to highlight risks in building factories in Europe and Thailand, one of the people said. It also encouraged carmakers to use overseas factories for final vehicle assembly with knock-down components exported from China to mitigate potential risks stemming from geopolitical issues, said the person.

  • AWS has its own chips: Here's how its CEO sees their future

    Amazon (AMZN) Web Services (AWS) has entered the semiconductor market, developing its own chips to train AI models in competition with industry leaders like Nvidia (NVDA). At the 2024 Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Technology Conference, Yahoo Finance reporter Madison Mills interviewed AWS CEO Matt Garman to break down AWS's chip strategy. Garman acknowledges Nvidia's strong market position, calling it "a great platform" with a large customer base. However, he emphasizes that the chip market is vast, with "potential for multiple options," stressing the importance of customer choice. AWS's semiconductors, Inferentia and Trainium, are "specifically built for AI inference,"Garman explains. These chips offer particular value for small-scale inference tasks and helping customers reduce costs. He also notes that AWS is working on improving these chips to train large language models. "We think that there's this really large market segment and there's room enough for customers to be using the best product for the use case for a long time," Garman told Yahoo Finance. Although he expressed support for other chipmakers, stating that AWS does not expect to become "fully reliant" on its own chips. Catch Yahoo Finance's full interview with Matt Garman here.

  • Gas prices could fall below $3 a gallon: Analyst

    With the summer travel season winding down, gas prices are starting to slip.  GasBuddy head of petroleum analysis Patrick De Haan expects the national average gas price to fall below $3, driven primarily by seasonal factors, saying "Americans just don't drive as much in fall." He also notes that the switch to cheaper winter gasoline and the decline in oil prices (CL=F) will help send prices lower too. What could change that trajectory? Tropical storm Francine and other potential storms or hurricanes could pose a risk, De Haan says, adding geopolitical risk as another potential upward catalyst.  Watch the video above to find out where De Haan says prices in the US are highest and lowest.  For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Asking for a Trend.

  • Google, DOJ try to define the digital ad market in antitrust trial

    After the Department of Justice (DOJ) kicked off its argument that Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) holds an illegal monopoly over the online advertising market, Yahoo Finance legal reporter Alexis Keenan joined Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Market Domination to outline what happened the first day in court. The antitrust case is "about online advertising, but if you ask the DOJ and you ask Google, 'What is this market?' they don't agree at all," Keenan said. The DOJ argued that the ad tech market comprises a group of niche markets. It called executives from publishing, advertising, and exchange companies as witnesses to bolster its claims that the ad tech market is made up of niche subsections. On the other hand, Google says that all online advertising, including streaming, social media, and others, is one big market. This argument could allow Google to name Meta Platforms (META), Amazon (AMZN), and Microsoft (MSFT), among other big tech companies, as competitors in the space, making it easier to say there is competition within the space. "It's going to be a tough argument for Google," Keenan said, noting that "the bottom line here is harm to consumers; that's what the judge cares about."
