The competition is starting to overcome

by

Things are not going well for Novo Nordisk, the Danish pharmaceutical Ozempic and Wegovythe popular Drugs to lose weight. The company fell up to 30% in the stock market After presenting (bad) results. In the last year, the shares have fallen double, 60%. Although it will continue to grow, it has trimmed its expectations: from a growth in predicted income between 13% and 21% for annual sales, the company has dropped its fork to 8% and 14%. It is just a consequence of what is already living in several markets. Sorpasso. Novo Nordisk had been in a vulnerable situation, and its stock market value, which came to rise 400% from the pandemic, is reflecting what is already happening in the recipe market: according to the Financial Timesthe IQVIA research company reports that the Danish company has been destroyed in market share in the United States by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, its great rival worldwide. A painful loss in the largest market. With 607,000 weekly recipes, Ozempic has fallen below 622,000 Mounjaro, Lilly’s drug. Ozempic has dropped from 50% of sales for the first time, despite the fact that a judge of the Texas district prohibited the country in the country Marketing of Copies of Novo Nordisk products. For Novo, it means losing the leadership in the market where more semaglutida sells Worldwide: in 2023, 71% of sales arrived from the United States. The news adds to another negative: Wegovy had already been overcome by another proposal by Lilly: Zepbound. It was seen coming: in the United Kingdom, Mounjaro already exceeded Wegovy At the end of the year. The CEO of Chemist4u, an online pharmacy, said that in the last three or four months of 2024, Mounjaro won Wegovy in a 70-30. What are Zepbound and Mounjaro. Zepbound was the second commercial name that Lilly put to the Tirzepatidathe compound with which Lilly threw himself to compete against type 2 diabetes, such as Ozempic. If Novo Nordisk launched Wegovy to focus on weight loss as an alternative for the diabetic ozempic approach using the semaglutida, Lilly did the same with Zepbound with respect to Mounjaro. The FDA approved Zepbound’s medical use at the end of 2023. In Spain, it has not been approved for now, but for a year Pharmacies market Mounjaro under prescription for diabetes and obesity. This is how Novo Nordisk lost his advantage. The arrival of Danish pharmaceutical drugs to the United States was marked by a production that failed to meet the spectacular demand. According to Financial Times, Evan Seigerman, BMO capitalist Markets, prognosis problems had to do with a previous medication from Novo, SaxendaIt was not so successful. The supply problems led to the approved the Sale of Ozempic copies. Although Novo Nordisk managed to increase production by acquiring factories, the under supply gave Lilly time, which Mounjaro launched for diabetes in 2022 and Zepbound in 2023. A matter of marketing. When the huge success of Ozempic began, Novo Nordisk went from being a company focused on the sale of insulin that had to convince doctors through research to have to aim at the weight loss market, a massive market focused on the final consumer, and highly influenced by advertising and celebrities. Novo left the door open to Lilly, and Bernie helped. The marketing of the American pharmaceutical He started selling his online drugs. Being also Aggressive with discounts and several price drops. In this sense, Senator Bernie Sanders also did not help will report price differences of Ozempic in the United States compared to other countries ($ 600 per month for 59 of Germany), claiming that generic versions could be sold for less than $ 100, and accusing Novo of using the US market of “dairy cow“ Lilly tests that show advantage over Novo. According to the study results Surmount-5 Posted by Lilly, at 72 weeks, patients who took Zepbound lost 22.8 kilos in front of 15 kilos of those who took Wegovy. A 20.2% weight loss using the lilly tirzepatida versus 13% of the Semaglutida of Novo. With regard to diabetes, the essay Surpass-3 He showed that Mounjaro produced a reduction in glucosylated hemoglobin (A1C) between 2 and 2.3%, compared to 1.9% of Ozempic. A new (and something frustrated) hope. Novo is developing New Generation Drugswith a drug called to be the successor of Wegovy: Cagrisema. The problem with this drug is that initially, the company announced that it hoped to help patients lose 25% of their weight. The result of his trial provided somewhat minor general figures, With 22.7% loss in 68 weeks. 40.4% of the patients who received the dose of Cagrisema did reach 25% loss in that period, but the market was relentless and fruit of the disappointment between investors.

There are almost no images of the conflict between Israel and Iran. That is why we are starting to generate them with ia

by

At the user level, the popularization of artificial intelligence is leading to everyday uses (of cheat until helping us Organize the day) already debates that affect us all (ecological, labor and Ethics). But its use is also in the hands of governments and, when they conflict, artificial intelligence becomes a valuable weapon of soft war and propaganda on a global scale. He Wask between Iran and Israel He is leaving us a few examples. The images about these lines are not real. They are generated by AI. When the Gulf War in 1991 It was said that it would be the first war that we would see live, and now we are prolonging that same idea but taken to the extreme … and seasoned with manipulation of information through artificial intelligences. Images and videos disseminated in social networks and messaging apps, where we can see live bombings, but where not everything is real. These are images of some assumptions F-35 demolished by the Iranian army, data backed by the news of the country. Israel denied it quickly. And you just have to take a look at the second photo to see that it is false: what absurd size does that hunt have? And the buildings in the lower corner are smaller than people. That did not prevent thousands of people from spreading the images in their accounts, giving them by legitimate. And also videos. The arrival of the potent I see 3 Google has helped generate videos in line with these photos. The Tehran Times, means of Iranian communication, disseminates videos where it is presumed to gigantic missiles that do not exist. How do we know? I have left the seeing water mark in the video. Something similar happened with a supposed bombardment in Tel Avivwhose images are easy to identify as generated by AI. The person responsible for all of them is the account 3AMelyonnwhich is defined as “artificial intelligence resistance”, and whose videos are also spread on Telegram. With the permission of the high positions. These actions are not always a matter of disinformation in networks. Iran’s supreme leader, Sayyid Ali Khamenei, tweet images of Iranian missiles to Israel generated by chatgptand the Israeli defense minister generates Genuine visual garbage (which The Anglo -Saxons call ‘Ai Slop’) of propaganda type of which Facebook and other networks crowd. It is not strange that the leaders of both sides join the iconographic war: it is a way not only to spread harmful propaganda for the other side, but to supply the informative limitations suffered by citizens. Please, only AI. In fact, there is another reason for the dissemination of propaganda through AI to be backed by the respective governments of Iran and Israel: when citizens spread images of killings in the cities, it was feared that with these videos they would give strategic clues to the other side. AI is a way to ensure that no one takes advantage of those videos. According to 404 mediaIsrael requested from its citizens in a statement by social networks: “The enemy examines these documents to improve their objectives. Be responsible, do not share locations on the network.” AI thus becomes a tool to share propaganda that is not strategically sensitive. How to identify artificial intelligence. The companies that create the generative tools are responsible for marking the results that their IASs yield. In addition to easily visible and editable water marks, Google AI includes an invisible, Synthidbut it has a problem set: you have to download the video that may appear, for example, on social networks, and then upload it to the Synthid platform. They are minutes, perhaps lost hours, during which perhaps the false video has reached millions of people. A very valuable time in terms of propaganda.

Spain has become so expensive that the British are starting to choose another place for their vacations: Morocco

by

When years ago a British family began to plan their summer vacation could doubt with the dates, the accommodation, with which airline flying or what clothes to put in The suitcase; But in many (many) cases what had no discussion was destiny: They were traveling to Spain. Especially to the Mediterranean coast, Balearic Islands or Canary Islands, where they were looking for sun, heat, beach, good landscapes and better food. Now that decision is no longer so clear and increasingly British choose to fly to somewhat more southern latitudes, to North Africa. The reason is simple: the price increase is leading them to change Catalonia and the Balearic Islands for Tunisia or Morocco. Issue of expenses. British tourists like Spain. A lot. And that is easy to check. He arrives with a walk through the Canary Islands, Catalonia, Balearic Islands or the Costa Blanca (to name a few destinations) or take a look at the INE data: in 2024 the flow of tourists from the United Kingdom grew 6.6% until adding 18.4 million travelers, which allowed Spain to close the year with A record of almost 94 million foreign visitors. The influx of tourists is nevertheless the only thing that grows in the sector. They also do the rates. Latest National Price Index It shows that so far this year, hostels, pensions and accommodation services have become sensitive to each other until they are placed almost 7% above a year ago. If we look back the increase is even more pronounced. RTVE Calculate that from the pandemic the hotels have increased more than 50%. Looking north of Africa. With that price increase as a backdrop and despite the considerable pull of Spain in the British market, more and more families in the United Kingdom opt for alternative destinations (and cheaper) in which to spend your vacation. And in that search they end up looking north of Africa, places like Egypt, Tunisia or Morocco. The trend was verified A few days ago The newspaper Daily Mail, although it is not really new. The sector It has been verifying how English tourists are responding to the rise in prices of Spain or Portugal Looking for more southern alternatives, in North Africa. At the end of 2024 Mirror I already reported that there were British families who were changing the Canary Islands to Egypt to enjoy their winter vacations. A percentage: 39%. Beyond the statements of the agencies and tour operators, there are a series of data that help to understand the growing interest arouses North Africa among British travelers. For example, Booking has proven that between January and May searches related to Tunisia on their platform have fired 68% compared to the same months of 2024. In the case of Egypt they have grown 64% and in that of Morocco 39%. And it is not only about plans, desires or forecasts in the medium or long term. The change is already underway. This same summer the tui uk platform has registered 30% more reservations for Egypt that a year ago. In the case of Tunisia, growth also reaches double digit and the company also recognizes a strong demand for Morocco. More interest, more flights. British airlines have quickly captured that interest and have not taken long to act accordingly, reinforcing their connections with the continent. This year it is expected that the United Kingdom airports take off 19,847 flights destined to North Africa, more than double the 8,653 registered operations before the pandemic. The connections with Spain and Portugal will also grow, but to a much lesser extent: just 10 and 9%. In that new context Morocco also plays with an extra advantage: proximity. A British who wants to fly to Alicante must invest about two and a half hours on the flight. If you want to go to Cairo the trip will last much more (almost double), but if you choose to move between London and Marrakech the journey will not reach four hours. Is there so much price difference? Yes. For a British traveling to Tunisia or Morocco translates into more flight hours, but in his favor he has the cost of accommodation. EUROWEEKLY has made calculations and assures That a seven night stay in Agadir, to the south of the country, costs about 889 pounds per person while other similar packages to stay in Mediterranean destinations in Europe, such as Marbella, Santorini or Mykonos, requires Between 1,000 and 2,700 pounds. “There is a trend, especially in the family segment, towards cheaper destinations,” explained In December a Mirror Sebastien Ebel, executive director of Tui Group, after checking how more and more people were choosing to spend their winter vacations in Egypt instead of the Canary Islands. Already by then Easyjet Holidays found an increase in demand in other African destinations, including Morocco. Prices … and something else. That more and more British imagine spending their vacations in Tunisia or Morocco instead of in the Balearic Islands or Canary Islands not only explains by the price difference. In play more factors enter. For example, the ‘democratization’ of the tourism market, with a growing group of travelers who do not give up their country despite having adjusted budgets. “We frequently see new customers with less income, but still want to travel with budgets of 800 pounds. If they do not find it in Spain, they look for alternatives,” Ebel points out. Another key is what tourists are in Tunisia, Morocco or Egyptwarm destinations, with a rich heritage, beaches, landscapes and a hotel sector that has been put the batteries In recent years and offers options that are not far from which British can be found in Spain or Portugal. The new trend also coincides with protestsIn certain points of the country, such as Balearics either Cataloniaof residents tired of the impact of mass tourism.

China is stopping money and is starting to charge it. They are not good news for Spain

by

The golden age of Chinese financing is over. Beijing no longer gives money to build ports and railroads, now it is demanding payment of what it lent at the time. Why is it important. China has lent more than 800,000 million dollars to 150 countries since 2013 With its initiative of the ‘Silk route‘. Today, 60% of that portfolio is in the hands of technical bankruptcy or on the edge of the financial collapse. The facts. The money that countries must return to China every year already exceed the “new” money that China lends. It is the end of the expansive model of the last decade: the country is going from being a generous lender to becoming a relentless creditor. The strategy. China has divided its debtors into two categories, and each group applies a radically different treatment: Large countries with huge debts (80% of the portfolio): They receive bailouts, bridge loans and special facilities. Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Argentina, Angola … Small countries with minor debts (Remaining 20%): Only payment extensions. Zero money new. Zambia, Ghana, Mongolia, Tayikistan, Republic of Congo … Of course, the treatment that the first group receives has nothing to do with generosity but with self -preservation. China is rescuing those who, to break, could make their state banks sink. The rest are abandoned to their fate. The context. The crisis began soon. Specifically in 2015, two years after starting this strategy, when the prices of some raw materials collapsed. Covid accelerated the problems, as well as the war in Ukraine. The rise in interest rates at a global level It was the lace. The money trail. China is replicating the Western Banks Manual of the 1980s and nineties, when Wall Street and the City massively lent petrodollars after the oil crises of the seventies. When the eighties debt crisis arrived, they went from financing development to demand structural adjustment programs. The same banks that had pushed indebtedness became the toughest creditors. China is in that transition: of “Strategic Development Partner” to creditor which prioritizes their banking balances on the stability of debtor countries. It is the market, friend. Deepen. For Spain, the change has three impact vectors: The big construction and Spanish engineering (ACS, Actiona, Sacyr) lose access to megaprojects financed by Chinese banks, especially in Infrastructure in Africa and Asia. Direct Chinese investment in Spain will be more selective: less strategic purchases and more demand for immediate profitability in sectors such as energy and technology. Financial instability in African and Latin American countries where Spanish companies (Telefónica, Iberdrola, Repsol) operate increases political and exchange risk, complicating its operations in markets that depended on Chinese financial oxygen. In summary. China has completed its emerging power metamorphosis to established power, and its financial policy reflects it. The Silk Route was the last great expansive project of a country that sought global influence buying loyalty with cheap money. Now that it has that influence, it acts like any mature creditor: charging. It is the end of an era and the beginning of a more predictable global financial order, but also more ruthless.

Ukraine soldiers are starting to carry scissors. It is the only way to face Russia’s most lethal weapon

by

At the beginning of January the New York Times told which was no longer possible to hide in the Ukraine War. Before the brutality of the contest a technology had sneaked into Evade electronic war and enter the enemy field of both sides as I had not done before. The threat was destroying the lines, making attacks invisible and evading any attempt at interference. Now, that technology has become stronger and deadly in Russia: the optical fiber. The Russian offensive. I explained it a few hours ago BBC in a report. In the Ukrainian town of Rodynske, a few kilometers from Pokrovsk, the war has acquired an even more devastating dimension with the intensive use of 250 kg planning pumps and surveillance and attack drones. The recent impact of one of these projectiles devastated administrative and residential buildings, leaving behind a destruction landscape. Russian troops, unable to take Pokrovsk directly, have begun to surround it strategicallycutting supply routes through a siege that intensifies with every day. The immediate presence of Russian drones about Rodynske reveals that Moscow has advanced from the east, beyond the previously identified positions, displaying their weapons since recently captured areas. The unstoppable rise of fiber. Under that changing scenario, a technology has been perfected as the most feared weapon in the conflict: guided drones by fiber optic cable. Unlike traditional models, their physical connection with the controller makes them immune to electronic interference, one of the most important defensive pillars so far. Although slower and can be tangled (for example, in their passage through trees high), their ability to operate in closed environments, such as Inside buildingsand to stay hidden, each movement of Ukrainian soldiers converts into a possible death sentence. In that sense, Russia has taken the front in its implementation while Ukraine still tested themand although now tries to accelerate its production, the technological difference continues to incline the balance on the battlefield. Fiber cable anchored to a drone in Ukraine The front lines. This new type of threat has completely altered the dynamics of Ukrainian detachments. Soldiers as it is or came, from the 68th Jaeger battalion, They described the BBC How simple transfer to a position can be more lethal than direct combat. The pressure has forced the units to remain much longer in the trenches, without the possibility of rotation. Maksym, gunner of the 5th Assault Battalion, says that they could alternate every few days, but now there are those who take until 120 days in a row on the front. Fatigue, moisture, constant death and the impossibility of lowering the guard have redefined combat. Oses, chief of recognition, explained that Russian tactics have evolved towards small and mobile infiltrations: Motorcycles, quadrimotos, patrols of one or two men who penetrate enemy lines such as scattered pieces on a chess board. Pros and cons of fiber in war. Detailed it in a Interview for The War Zone Yas, a commander of the Ukrainian unmanned units (drones). Operate drones by fiber optic offers an essential tactical advantage: it allows silent control, without detectable emissions, and makes many electronic warfare systems obsolete. However, the system also presents limitations. Drone management It requires great expertisesince an inexperienced pilot can cause losses due to control failures or even unwanted explosions. In addition, the fiber cable can be easily broken or entangled, and technology itself is expensive and difficult to access (especially for Ukraine). Despite this, the success index of fiber drones to achieve and hit their goals Round 50%figure that clearly exceeds that of conventional radiofrequency drones. However, less than 5% of the Ukrainian drone park, According to Yascurrently uses this system, mainly due to the shortage of quality units and the saturation of local manufacturers, many of which, in the beginning, reversed Chinese components without fully understanding the operating requirements in combat. The asymmetric race. In that sense, Russian capacities are not only imposed by number, but by the speed with which Adapt solutions. Every time Ukraine changes frequency or introduces improvements, Moscow responds quickly, climbing his countermeasures in a coordinated way. He has done so with control channels and video transmission. In that context, fiber optic drones They represent a momentary tactical advantage window. Although in Ukraine ranges of 15 and up to 20 kilometers with drones of this type have already been reached, Russia operates models of up to 30 kilometers. Yas lamented to the environment that, except in the case of conventional drones, the Ukrainian State has not yet managed to establish A solid infrastructure of production and deployment for fiber optic drones. A gap that can determine the difference between maintaining defensive positions or losing strategic ground against the enemy. Endurance. In The BBCa Ukrainian soldier said that the fear of drones Invisible Because of the fiber he has led them to start carry scissors everywhere To cut the cables. Technology has already given enough episodes of authentic nightmare where drones have entered buildings chasing human objectives. Meanwhile, and although Russia has made important advances, the Total Take Donetsk It is still far from being an immediate reality. Ukraine continues to resist, but suffers the shortage of ammunition, the imperative need for weapons and a worrying lack of qualified personnel against a more numerous Russian army and with better institutionalized processes at the moment. Yas is clear: The future of the war of drones will depend not only on technology itself, but who is able to organize it and multiply it faster. Meanwhile, every drone that raises the flight with a fiber optic coil becomes a silent bet between life and death.

China had never been an important actor in global oil production. That is starting to change

by

Recently, China has completed drilling of the vertical well of oil deeper from Asia, reaching a depth of 10,910 meters. At first glance, it may seem one more achievement In that career for megaestructurebut it is a symptom of something else: a strategy to reinforce your energy security and reduce its dependence on foreign crude. Record on record. In March 2025, China reached a new peak in its oil production, with an average of 4.6 million barrels per day, According to data cited by Global Times. This figure marks the culminating point of a trend that It has been in silence for years. Despite the fluctuations of the market, especially with the tariff war, Chinese production has continued to increase in a planned and sustained way. Drill, Baby, Drill. Or in Chinese: Zuan Ba, Bao Bei, Zuan Ba. This famous motto that is coined to Trump could also be applied to China. However, what happens in the Asian giant is a very different version. As He explained The energy analyst Javier Blas, Beijing is betting on squeezing his former conventional fields, many of them active from the Era of Mao. Summarizing it more easily: while in the US fracking and horizontal schist drilling They are based on profitabilityIn China, energy security is priority. In fact, state giants such as CNPC, Sinopec and Cnooc They have invested For years around 80,000 million dollars annually to sustain this strategy. In addition, the country is known for being a large importer of oil, so during these years the reserves were not known. However, in this growing silent production, According to Reutershas achieved a 167%replacement ratio. The state oil company CNOOC has declared that its proven reserves exceed 7 270 million barrels, which ensures stable production for the next 10 years. A strategy inwards. This year is fulfilled The established period for China’s autonomy with its “seven -year action plan to improve oil and gas exploration and development efforts”. Although its objective is not only to produce more, but to depend less and less abroad and not have to be subject to the tensions of global geopolitics. But for now …Keep importing and has changed a couple. Chinese refineries are importing Canadian crude record amounts after cutting American oil purchases at 90% due to commercial tensions. As has indicated Bloomberg, the expansion of a pipeline in western Canada, opened less than a year ago, has already provided China and other oil importers of the East Asian to greater access to the vast crude oil reserves in the Alberta tar sands region. Beyond its borders. China’s energy turn does not occur in a vacuum: it has direct implications for the rest of the world. In the first place, greater Chinese self -sufficiency will weaken the weight of export countries such as Saudi Arabia or Iraq, pressing further OPEC+ in its struggle for maintaining crude oil prices. With China pumping more oil locally, its demand for imports becomes more strategic and selective, displacing commercial flows and influencing the global barrel price. In addition, in this way you will have more autonomy to act in commercial tensions without compromising your energy supply. In short, it is sending a clear message: “Each barrel counts.” While the world looks at the Middle East or Texas, the real silent boom is happening in Asia.

The dollar has been the world economy for 80 years. The US tariffs are starting to destroy it

by

In the two long months he has in the Oval Office, Donald Trump has demonstrated that he did not joke when he said that his favorite word is “tariff.” The Commercial War in which it has been engaged, with ads and against ads, attacks and backgrounds that now focus the focus In China, it is however affecting what could well be the second header word for the Republican leader: the dollar, which faces its own historical chapter, in full depreciation against other assets such as The euro or the Swiss Franco. In the background, there are voices that already speak of a trusted crisis In the American currency, a weakening of its global position as a safe shelter or even They wonder If we go at the end of the golden era of the green ticket. Dollar slopes. In full tariff war and between recession drums In the US and loss of investor confidence, the US dollar does not go through its best moment. Although The partial truce 90 days decreed on Wednesday by Trump has paid the falls in the stock market, the trend is different if we talk about public debt and especially dollars. Green tickets They have deflated in front of currencies such as the euro or the Swiss Franco. And quite clear, besides. Click on the image to go to Tweet. What do the figures say? After the dollar suffered yesterday its worse day In about a decade, the Euro is already 1.14 dollars. You have to go back several years ago to find it in such low levels in front of the community currency. As for the Swiss currency, another key reference, Reuters remembers That the green ticket has fallen 1.2%, to 0.814 francs, for the first time since the beginning of 2015. All this with him and reaching his Maximum of several months and with gold moving in Historical maximums While investors are looking for safe shelters, precisely what (until not so ago) offered green tickets. “There has been a marked tendency to sell US dollars flowing through the general markets and towards classical shelter assets, with the dollar losing that position,” Confirms Reuters recently Chris Weston, from Pepperstone. Why is it important? Because the dollar is more than the currency with which the Americans make their purchases. Is behind the vast majority of transactions, acts world reference and has allowed the US to be financed at low types. “Half the world is stunned looking and the other horror about what will happen to the dollar as a universally accepted currency and vault key of the global financial system,” Explain to The country Juan Ignacio Crespo. “It is very unusual in the US”. The dollar situation has caught the attention of other experts, such as Nick Timiraos, economic correspondent for The Wall Street Journal And who yesterday shared In X some reflections on the drift of the yields of the treasure bonds at 30 years and the weakening of the dollar. “Rises in yields and low in currencies are common in emerging markets. We saw it in the United Kingdom during the debacle of Truss. But it is very unusual in the US. There are only four other episodes in the last 30 years in which the dollar depreciated more than 1.5% with an increase in return to more than 10 basic points, ” Timiraos collects citing the Evercore ISI firm. Its conclusion: the data suggests the end of ‘exceptionalism’ of American growth and a loss of attractiveness of dollars. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Crisis of trust in the dollar? That is the idea that appears for some time among some analysts, such as Francesco Pesole, of ING, which after the fall of the dollar to a minimum of three years in front of the euro, It was pronounced with roundness in Financial Times: “The question of a possible crisis of trust in the dollar has definitely been resolved: we are experiencing it with all its force.” It is not the first to point in that direction. Monday Reuters warned that there were investors and analysts concerned with the perspective that Trump’s protectionist policies, changes in the current global economic order in the last decades and the growing debt The US ended up undermining the attractiveness of the dollar, with even risk of a crisis of trust in the green ticket. End of the ‘golden age’ of the green ticket? That is the question he launched to Benjamin Dubois, head of Edmond’s coverage management of Rothschild, in An analysis collected by The economist. It slides that the fall of the currency “could be the beginning of a deeper underlying trend.” “Trump’s second mandate could make the dollar lose the dominant status he has enjoyed during the last decade,” Point out The expert before citing factors such as the depreciation of Trump’s currency or commercial war. The answer does not seem clear. For Per Jansson, vice governor of the Central Bank of Sweden, It is not predictable However, the US reaches the point that the status of the dollar changes. And he warns: “It would be a great change for the world economy … and basically create chaos.” The truth is that Trump has spoken against attempts to weaken the currency, which still has in his favor the support of the strong economy of the United States, the markets and the lack of a short -term alternative. Reindustrialization. One of The wishes of Trump, which already connects with his first presidential mandate, is to enhance The manufacturing industry of the US. And in that effort the currency and its strength also play a key role. After remembering the restructuring of the global financial system raised by S. Miran, Donald Trump advisor, Dubois remembers: “It is based on the conviction that the dollar must be depreciated to allow US reindustrialization.” The Republican himself has pointed out that a weaker dollar would also benefit exports.

The Chinese bazaars of Mallorca are starting to close. And that is promoting all kinds of theories in social networks

Tiktok is one of the 21st century forumsone with great viral potential. Give people like the Spanish adventurer who is Traveling to Japan with a 1998 Fiat OA the Carbon mines influencers In Australia. It also amplifies news such as that the Chinese bazaars of Mallorca are closing their doors in mass. And it is true: there are Chinese shops closing, and it is something that has generated so much noise that has resulted in the most varied conspiracy theories. Reality is much simpler. Bazaars closing. How our partners point out TRENDENCESsome profiles on Tiktok have shared videos in which some of these Chinese businesses are seen as if a hurricane had passed. In the profile ‘INSELNEWS‘The’ Bazar Gran Wok ‘is shown with a message that points out that, “by definitive closure, the owners decided to give everything in the premises.” In the one JULIOBASTIVV There is also talk of this. And entering the comments of those videos is a curious exercise. Theories of the great leak. There are several lines in this matter. On the one hand, those that point out that Chinese citizens are running out of tax advantages and will have to start paying taxes (although They already pay taxes if they have a business in Spain). Other theories point to the arrival of Digital eurosomething that is still in development. There is no lack of comments that suggest that the Chinese know something that the rest of the people not, to the duty Oa one imminent war. In Chinese Tiktokers profiles like ‘Jinjunyin‘, creator of the Pódcast’ Sounds Chinese ‘, we can also see comments in videos that do not deal with the issue in which they ask for explanations for the exodus and even pray that they do not leave the country. Other Chinese users of the social network laugh directly from the matter. @choumia04 Are the Chinese closing their stores in Spain? Why are their stores closing? 🤔 #Chinese #store #Spain #business #for you #fyp ♬ Original sound – Choumia Feet on the ground. To answer that question of “why all of Spain leave” that some users ask, we have contacted a Chinese association of the most affected area: Balearic Islands. Specifically, with the Chinese Association in the Balearic Islands. Its president, Fang Ji, tells us the same as they already communicated a few days ago for Instagram: That, in effect, in recent months they have observed that some businesses run by Chinese entrepreneurs have closed or are liquidating the stock. There is no single cause and points out that “the reasons behind these decisions may vary according to the business”, but that three cases stand out: Inflation and consumption changes. It is evident on an island where the price of housing is absolutely triggered, even with Garages Costo 185,000 euros (with whom you would buy a house in other locations). “The increase in rent and supplies costs, as well as changes in consumption habits have affected many small businesses, not only those of the Chinese community,” he says. Administrative changes. Another case is the hardening of certain tax regulations that have meant an additional difficulty for the business. Entrepreneurs comment that adapting to these changes requires an investment that is not always viable for all. Personal. Finally, Fang Ji points out that there are other businesses that have simply closed to reorient the business or for commercial reasons. “Pandemia and economic changes have led many entrepreneurs to rethink their future and want to explore other opportunities,” he says. Cocktail. Therefore, it is not that another pandemic is coming or a war with China is coming, but that it is the result of a set of situations that is causing this situation, highlighting the Very high price of the ground in the Balearic Islands and online trade. The region is at the head of the regions in which More expensive It becomes the owner. Calculations such as Idealistic They point to buy a square meter in Palma costs about 4,600, 18.5% more than a year ago. On the other hand, there are fast fashion businesses such as Sheinbut also the Temu And similar, which in some cases are a missile to the flotation line of some of these shops of Chinese entrepreneurs focused on day -to -day objects or clothing. And, as Fang Ji said, this is something that affects small trade in general, but when he adds to the climbing of the land price in some places, the cocktail can be difficult to digest.

The doors of green hydrogen from Spain have found its starting point: the Basque Country

by

While Spain account With several hot green hydrogen points, infrastructure for distribution, such as H2Med, still Keep in development. However, the Basque Country has emerged as a new channel. Short. The H2BIDEA project, coordinated by Nortegas, aims to boost the development of a pure hydrogen distribution network in the Basque Country. The initiative will have the aid of the company Tubos gathered, in charge of creating the special tubes where high pressure hydrogen (160 bar) will be transported. A great initiative. Through a consortium of Basque companies, H2bidea It is cemented The pillars for the Basque Corridor of Hydrogen (BH2C). With this corridor they seek to establish an interconnected green hydrogen infrastructure that facilitates its transport and distribution, both regional and European. In three years, H2BIDEA hopes to have a distribution network demonstrator called H2TESTLAB, which will allow evaluating the efficacy of the installed infrastructure, according to has had notic access from Álava. Mass support. The project has the support of the Basque Government and the European Union, as well as with the collaboration of the Basque Companies Consortium, such as Arizaga, Bastarrica and Company (ABC Compressors), Orkli, Commercial of Electronic Applications (FIDEGAS) and Calcinor Servicios. It is not the only one. Because Spain continues to advance in the creation of more projects, such as the Mediterranean corridor (H2Med). This development initiative intends to interconnect Spain, France and Portugal by 2030 in what will be the first European hydrogen infrastructure. However, in recent weeks, has faced a controversy In Zamora on the use of water in the production of green hydrogen. More challenges at European level. A recent study by West Wood Energy consultant has estimated that only 17% of green hydrogen projects in the continent will materialize within five years. In that context, According to a Global Energy Monitor reportEurope faces difficulties to fulfill its decarbonization strategy due to the shortage of hydrogen produced in a renewable way. The limited amount of available green hydrogen and the slow progress of the announced projects question the viability of the energy transition plans of the continent. From another perspective. The Basque Corridor is an initiative that has emerged as a strategic point for the production and export of green hydrogen. In this way, it joins the ambitious plans of Spain to become a European green hydrogen leader. In fact, recently, the Spanish nation launched A hydrogen project with an investment of 1,214 million euros from the NextGneu funds.

Deepseek has given the starting gun in the race for a cheaper AI. And China starts with advantage

by

Deepseek echo resonates three weeks after stirring the foundations of the industry of the artificial intelligence (AI). And possibly will continue to monopolize attention for much longer. After all, this model created by the Chinese company High-Flyer has been transformed In a symbol for China. In this Asian country there are dozens of companies involved in the development of AI, but none has so far made so much noise in such a short time As Deepseek. Also, according to Reuters Several experts in this sector have predicted that the open source nature of this model and its low access rates through its own API (application programming interface) could promote the adoption of AI and the development of applications for this technology for this technology . In Deepseek practice it has the ability to help Chinese companies cope with better Export restrictions of the avant -garde GPUs produced by US companies, such as NVIDIA or AMD. Huawei and other manufacturers want to expel Nvidia from the Chinese market Nvidia is losing competitiveness in China. It is inevitable. The H20 GPU on paper is much less capable than the most sophisticated chips that Jensen Huang’s signature currently sells. At the moment the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China has not officialized anything, but the administration led by Xi Jinping has restricted since last August the purchase of GPU H20 of Nvidia by Chinese companies. GPUs for Chinese are appreciated by companies such as Bytedance for their good performance in inference tasks On the other hand, Huawei has lists its own GPU for AI, the chips ascend Ai, for more than five years. During this period of time it has been refining them and increasing their abilities with the purpose of matching or even overcoming the performance of the chips A100 and H100 of Nvidia. “Training is important, but it only happens a few times. Huawei focuses mainly on inferencewhich, ultimately, will give us access to more customers “, Ensures Georgios Zacharopoulosa senior researcher of AI who works in the Huawei laboratory in Zurich (Switzerland). During the last weeks Huawei and other Chinese chip designers for AI, such as Hygon, Enflame, Tsingmicro or Moore Threads, have declared that their solutions will be compatible with the models of AI developed by Deepseek, although for the moment they have barely given more details. The interesting thing, and this is the authentic trick of Chinese companies, is that their GPUs, especially Huawei Ascend 910b chips, are appreciated by companies such as Bytedance for their good performance in inference tasks. Inference is broadly the computational process carried out by language models with the purpose of generating the responses that correspond to the requests they receive. Anyway This declaration of Lian Jyechief analyst of the omdia technology consultant, expresses very well Why Deepseek is a great opportunity For Chinese GPU manufacturers: “This development is very aligned with the abilities of Chinese designers (…) GPUs for Chinese and require a more localized and specific understanding of the industry. “ Image | Huawei More information | Reuters In Xataka | The Nvidia pulse and US administration becomes more virulent.
