Tens of billions of dollars have been invested in the continent’s industries so far this year — from agriculture to data centers — with more expected as US President Donald Trump’s tariffs reshape global alliances. Bloomberg’s Jennifer Zabasajja reports.

This week, campaign costs are soaring, but democratic fundraiser Blair Effron of Centerview Partners says many races may already have reached the point where more money stops making much difference. And, even though most Americans dislike the proliferation of data centers, one community has welcomed them with open arms. Plus, the key difference Mistral hopes will set it apart in the global AI race. Later, Argentina President Milei brought inflation down and investment up, but its led to a fragmented economy one year out from an election.

On Bloomberg This Weekend, Bloomberg News travel journalist Brittany Chang explains why cruises are attracting more Gen Z and millennial travelers as higher airfare and hotel costs make all-inclusive vacations increasingly appealing. Chang tells hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini that cruise lines are courting younger passengers with mega ships, entertainment, adult-only spaces and nostalgia, with some sailings costing as little as about $30 a day.

One of the reasons why the bank stocks drop at the news of unrealized losses is the betting by the sharks that if the fdic takes, the fdic may not reimburse the stockholders at book value. The drop in the feeds more sharks and makes it more likely that the fdic will have to take over. So if the fdic makes a pledge to reimburse at book value the sharks will stop shorting at book value.

the selloff in Pacwest is completely misguided, they're in much better shape than feared. 75% of deposits are insured. With the now failed SVB they had 90% uninsured, basically opposite of Pacwest. I'm buying

I am being told CA is too cool because it's 5th largest world's economy. Why can't CA bail out its failing banks? Why should a hard working American from a poor area in a red state pay for wrong decisions made by some rich left-leaning person living in a luxury gated community in CA who is constantly shitting on the country? Is it fair?

The only thing worse than a Recession is a recession along with high inflation. Fed has to raise rates FAR MORE. The problem is that the big banks have more regulation for money on hand and diversity of clientele. A clear demonstration of how democratic socialism is superior.

JUST the fact that they would publicly admit to weighing their options tells me two things;
1. This bank is run by IDIOTS., and,
2. They have a serious liquidity issue.
Why is every bank in California failing??? How can this be possible???? Surely all those "progressive policies" that California is known for, the ones that give free loans at ridiculously low rates to every minority or marginalized group can't fail, can it? And where is the California governor in all of this??? Why haven't we heard from him at all??
