But now for your Market Mover's Daily update for Sunday, February 12th, 2023.

Gabriel:

Google's Bard AI makes an expensive mistake.

Gabriel:

Google's AI chatbot unveiling falls short of expectations.

Gabriel:

In a recent demo video of the AI chatbot experts pointed out

Gabriel:

that Bard made a factual error.

Gabriel:

The demonstration showed Bard answering a question about the James

Gabriel:

Webb space telescope, claiming it had taken the first picture of a

Gabriel:

planet outside of our solar system.

Gabriel:

Astronomers, however, have disputed this statement.

Gabriel:

Oil market on the rise with Russia's production cut.

Gabriel:

The Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced that the

Gabriel:

country will be cutting its oil output by 500,000 barrels per day in March.

Gabriel:

This move follows the implementation of Western bands on Moscow's, crude

Gabriel:

and oil products in recent months.

Gabriel:

The production decline amounts to approximately 5%

Gabriel:

of Russia's latest crude oil.

Gabriel:

Japanese Yen surges with report of new bank Governor.

Gabriel:

The appointment of economist Kazuo Ueda as the new bank governor has

Gabriel:

sparked a surge in the Japanese yen.

Gabriel:

Ueda, a former member of the central bank's policy board has

Gabriel:

strengthened the yen against the dollar, pushing it to a one week high.

Gabriel:

He will replace the previous bank governor whose term ends on April 8th, 2023,

Gabriel:

Yahoo, to downsize with layoff of 20% of its workforce.

Gabriel:

In light of concerns about the slowing economy, rising interest rates and

Gabriel:

high inflation, Yahoo has announced a layoff of 20% of its workforce.

Gabriel:

The company is restructuring its advertising tech unit, Yahoo for Business,

Gabriel:

which has struggled to meet its standards.

Gabriel:

Credit Suisse suffers largest annual loss.

Gabriel:

Since the financial crisis, European banks have been reporting healthy profits with

Gabriel:

one notable exception, Credit Suisse.

Gabriel:

Not a huge surprise there.

Gabriel:

When the bank reported its latest earnings, it said that it lost

Gabriel:

nearly $8 billion last year.

Gabriel:

That is the worst annual loss for Credit Suisse since the 2008 financial crisis.

Gabriel:

What to watch this upcoming week...

Gabriel:

Bob Iger plan to reinvigorate Disney.

Gabriel:

In a recent statement, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger criticized the

Gabriel:

company's strategy, citing excessive spending on TV shows, product

Gabriel:

marketing, and low streaming prices.

Gabriel:

He then announced a sweeping restructuring of these areas that he

Gabriel:

plans to implement in the near future.

Gabriel:

Adidas shares plummet with warning over unsold Yeezy stock.

Gabriel:

Adidas recently announced that it's assessing its options with regards

Gabriel:

to Yeezy inventory, acknowledging the significant adverse impact

Gabriel:

of not selling the product.

Gabriel:

The company predicts that its operating profit would drop by approximately 500

Gabriel:

million Euros if it fails to sell the products and expects a decline in sales

Gabriel:

at a high single digit rate in 2023.

Gabriel:

Lyft shares tumble with the downbeat revenue outlook.

Gabriel:

The ride sharing company is reported that it's revenue for the current year

Gabriel:

is expected to be roughly $975 million.

Gabriel:

Yes, an increase from the previous year, but below analyst's expectations

Gabriel:

for $1.09 billion in revenue.

Gabriel:

The company attributes the lower than expected revenue to seasonal

Gabriel:

trends, including an increase in health related goals that lead to

Gabriel:

reduced going out and walking more.

Gabriel:

You're going to see more layoffs through Q1.

Gabriel:

Unemployment rates though remain the same until about three months out

Gabriel:

because rough range of April to June data will begin registering the layoffs.

Gabriel:

This is because the vast majority of white collar jobs give around

Gabriel:

three months of severance where you cannot claim unemployment.

Gabriel:

Operation Job Destruction is underway.

Gabriel:

Keep your eye on the unemployment rate in the coming months.

Gabriel:

It is likely to be a strong signal for when the Fed will pivot and

Gabriel:

begin the cool down of their tighter financial conditions.

Gabriel:

Inflation is already moving in the intended direction, but employment

Gabriel:

is being a little bit stubborn.

Gabriel:

And that caps off your snackable new summary for the day.

Gabriel:

But now what?

Gabriel:

What can you do with this new found intel?

Gabriel:

How can you wield this information to protect and grow your money?
