Pemex Spreads Over Mexico Narrow on Sheinbaum Optimism: Chart

Scott Squires
·1-min read

(Bloomberg) -- The yield spread between Mexico’s benchmark sovereign bonds and debt issued by state oil company Petroleos Mexicanos has shrunk to its lowest in at least a year, as investors grow more confident Claudia Sheinbaum will continue to support the debt-laden driller and refiner. The clear front-runner in June 2 presidential elections, Sheinbaum has called for the company to refinance bonds ahead of large maturities in 2025, and government officials are said to be weighing options to absorb as much as $40 billion of Pemex’s debt. Investors also say they’re confident her commitment to sustainability will help the company’s bond yields come down even further.

  • US restrictions on AI chips are a 'step in the wrong direction'

    The Biden administration has announced new export restrictions on AI chips, triggering a sell-off in semiconductor stocks. In a blog post made earlier this week, Nvidia (NVDA) called President Biden's new export controls "misguided" as the outgoing administration attempts to limit semiconductor shipments to China. Moor Insights & Strategy Founder, CEO, and Chief Analyst Patrick Moorhead joins Morning Brief to discuss these regulations, calling them "unprecedented" and their impact on chipmakers as "pretty unclear" at this moment. Moorhead explains that the ruling applies to chips that are "purpose-built for AI or are designed for AI." He points out that this could affect gaming chips despite their primary intended use. "You're looking at 120 countries, many of them in the EU [European Union]... that now have limits on that," he states, explaining that a government agency will oversee enforcement. "I can't think of a worse thing for innovation and speed and revenue than having a traffic cop." He maintains this is the "wrong answer" for US national security concerns. "A lot of companies aren't going to have an issue because they have nothing to do with... AI clusters, but when you look at companies like Nvidia and AMD (AMD)... and even Intel (INTC), they're going to have to get very clinical on exactly how many chips that they can ship into a certain country," he explains, adding that even the EU has criticized the ruling as "a step in the wrong direction."
