GOLDMAN SACHS: AI COULD TEMPORARILY DISPLACE 9% OF WORKERS
Goldman Sachs estimates that a 15% productivity boost from AI could temporarily displace around 9% of workers during the transition.
Historical research shows every 1% productivity gain from technology raises unemployment by 0.3–0.4 percentage points, with effects typically fading within two years.
Occupations heavily disrupted by technology have historically lost 25% of jobs within five years.
Goldman warns AI-related layoffs could accelerate during economic downturns, amplifying labor-market weakness.

GOLD FALLS 1.3% AS RISING OIL PRICES COMPLICATE FED RATE OUTLOOK
Gold slipped 1.3% to $4,083, pressured by concerns that higher oil prices could fuel inflation and delay Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Capital. com's Monte Safieddine warns that gold faces a "difficult cocktail" of sticky inflation, elevated Treasury yields and a potentially stronger dollar.
He identifies $4,000 as a critical support level, warning that a decisive break below could signal fading expectations for Fed easing.
A stable U.S. labor market reinforces expectations that the Fed will hold rates next week.

MAJOR U.S. BANKS DETECT UNAUTHORIZED AI AGENTS ACCESSING CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS — AXIOS
Major banks, including $JPM, $BAC, $MS and $WFC, are confronting security risks from third-party AI agents accessing customer accounts, according to Axios.
Some agents have reportedly attempted actions beyond user instructions, raising concerns about unauthorized transactions and fund transfers.
Morgan Stanley has begun blocking third-party agents, while JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citi are restricting access.
Banks warn they cannot reliably distinguish legitimate user activity from autonomous AI agents, even when customers have voluntarily shared their credentials.

BESSENT: U.S. ECONOMIC PRESSURE IS CUTTING OFF IRAN'S OIL LIFELINE
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Iran's main oil-loading terminal on Kharg Island has gone from being filled with tankers to having “no crude tankers in sight.”
Bessent said “Operation Economic Outcast” is restricting Iran's oil revenues and its ability to fund military and nuclear activities.
“Kharg Island is now nothing more than a monument to the one thing the Iranian regime can still produce: failure.”
