On September 14, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde stated that Europe cannot merely depend on purchasing artificial intelligence technology from the United States and must also develop relevant components independently, or it risks falling into a vulnerable position. Lagarde remarked, "There is nothing inherently wrong with importing new technologies rather than developing them in-house." However, she pointed out that AI is "special" for a reason. In addition to data protection, Lagarde emphasized the issue of access, noting that once AI is widely used, any withdrawal or change in terms will "simultaneously affect all industries." "This is a kind of influence that no trade partner has ever had over Europe before," she said, "and this influence can be leveraged in any negotiations, such as on tariffs or digital taxes." These remarks further reinforce the calls from Lagarde and other ECB officials that Europe should not fall behind in AI development due to economic risks and sovereignty issues.

Amundi, with assets under management of $2.8 trillion, has begun purchasing 2-year U.S. Treasury bonds and has closed its short positions on U.S. short-term interest rates. Portfolio manager Nicolas Dahan believes that rising oil prices to $100 per barrel and soaring financing costs increase the risk of a slowdown in the U.S. economy. As the yield on 2-year U.S. Treasury bonds rises above 4.50%, their appeal as a safe-haven asset increases. Amundi is reallocating its bond investments in the U.S., Europe, and the UK while extending the duration of its portfolio.
