美聯儲主席沃什：關於人工智能的短期影響，我無法保證不會造成就業顛覆，也無法在就業問題上讓人安心。

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s office on July 14 denied a New York Times report that he was under house arrest and had contact with Israeli intelligence, calling the story false and “Hollywood-style fiction”. The NYT said on July 13 that Israeli intelligence had contacted Ahmadinejad and moved him to a “safe location” after an initial US-Israel strike on Tehran, and that he later left that site and was placed under house arrest by Iranian authorities. US, Israeli and Iranian officials have not publicly confirmed the NYT account. Ahmadinejad served as Iran’s president from 2005 to 2013.

Capital Economics analyst Jack Allen-Reynolds says that although euro area industrial output has shown resilience since the Iran conflict erupted, the 21-country currency area faces a structural imbalance. Industrial activity was already in decline before the pandemic and now shows a pronounced K-shaped divergence: output is rising in high-tech and defence while most other sectors are contracting. High energy costs and foreign competition continue to depress traditional manufacturing. "We doubt any recent EU trade-policy tweaks will produce material change," he said.
