Last update: 4 hours ago

AI-Driven Growth: South Korean exports jumped 93.7% in October to $115.3 billion, with semiconductor shipments up 259.4% as global AI investment fuels demand. Corporate Investment: Walmart plans to invest about $6 billion in warehouse automation across 25 U.S. distribution centers. Small-Business Support: Malaysia added RM200 million in grants for low-income entrepreneurs, while the SBA opened a disaster-loan center for flood-affected businesses in Indiana. Startup Funding: Seven reported rounds totaled about $42.8 million, led by investments in AI and enterprise software; the tally includes debt and secondary transactions, not just new equity. Energy & Infrastructure: Federal approval clears the way for an $8.2 billion Texas LNG export project. In Illinois, consumer advocates warn data-center grid connections could leave households and small businesses facing billions in costs; ComEd disputes their estimate.
