An 831-mile single-charge run reframes EVs as long-haul capable, but also shifts pressure onto charging infrastructure and battery supply chains rather than range anxiety. Fleet and logistics operators should start modeling where ultra-long-range EVs change routing, depot placement, and downtime economics.
Tech & InnovationHarrell: US-China Lack of Deliverables Was as Expected
The takeaway from a no-deal US–China meeting is that both sides still see leverage—US via tariffs, export controls, semis, dollar, AI; China via rare earths, chemicals, manufacturing. If your roadmap depends on cross-border tech, chips, or materials, assume continued friction and build dual-sourcing and jurisdictional redundancy now, not later.
Tech & InnovationPatterson: AI Is Crowding Out Demand for US Treasuries

If macro and geopolitical frictions make a US–China AI deal unlikely, assume persistent constraints on cross-border data, chips, and capital. Global operators should be designing regionally self-sufficient AI stacks rather than counting on future regulatory convergence.
