Data Center Firm Elice Flops on Debut & Merz’s Russia Warning
Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from Brussels, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we’ll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.
On today’s show, AI jitters returned after the Korean data center firm Elice flopped on its stock market debut. Shares fell as much as 35% after its IPO, which raised $151 million.
Bloomberg has learnt that the AI cloud computing firm Nscale is in talks to sell computing power to Anthropic, in a deal that could be worth about $45 billion.
The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned against complacency over the dangers posed by Russia, saying that President Putin is seeking to undermine democracy in Europe.
And tougher security measures, including an 11pm curfew in some parts of Paris and other cities, appear to have quelled violent protests in France for now. But unions have called for a strike next month, with more demonstrations planned for this Saturday.
Today’s guest: Ana Boata, Allianz Trade, Head of Economic Research
Chapters:
00:00:00 – Daybreak Europe
00:01:39 – Elice’s 33% Debut Plunge Rekindles Doubts Over AI Spending Boom
00:03:19 – Japan 20-Year Bond Sale Sees Record Demand
00:07:21 – Nscale, Anthropic in Talks for $45 Billion Cloud Computing Deal
00:12:49 – Merz Warns Europe That It’s Underestimating the Russian Threat
00:18:31 – French Unrest Tapers Off After Security Measures Imposed
00:27:46 – Ana Boata, Allianz Trade, Head of Economic Research

0:35 how much commercial debt coming due and how it's going to hit.
1:00 a lot of it is office debt and would be harder to refinance. because A, the cost of borrowing is up, B, the value of those building are down. Thus people are going to pay it or decide it's not worth it to refinance.
1:45 commercial real estate debt comes due in next 18 months. Lenders and owners need to know exactly what to do and where values stand.
some lenders and owners need to write down a big loss
2:30 some asset-rich investors, such as Blackstone, Pimco … are they going to walk away or are they going to negotiate with lenders who have little other choice.
3:00 where office values to recover. office market is real bad especially in tech-led industry. the remote work pullback. and a confluence of factors, such as people don't feel safe in downtown, the commute time.
4:00 the number is record high leading the way across the country.

And here is the real reason WFH mandates are being challenged. All of these asses have money tied up in commercial real estate. Once again, we are going to allow the diligent idiots business class to make work for themselves at everyone else's expense, instead of just ripping off the bandage and cleaning the wound properly. They need to create an artificial scarcity to protect their own financial interests, and unlike the rest of us, they are allowed to have "rich people unions" to game that system for them, by essentially fixing the market price (which is de jure illegal, but of course laws don't apply to parasites.) Worth noting this entire industry is just a job placement program for unscrupulous, lazy deceivers and their sociopathic bosses who sit in their palatial office all day drinking, watching TV and picking their ass before verbally sparring with rival-buddies. They call this "work" because as a culture they are unfamiliar with the concept. Worth noting they don't actually produce anything except scarcity and debt.
TL;DR society's teat isnt giving those entitled idiots milk fast enough when they cry and shit their pants, so those ungrateful useless charlatans are going to bite the nipple.
