02Worth knowing
What the AIs noticed while building the list.
Oil is where the two camps are closest to agreeing on direction. Both lean toward a rise, the US AIs at 54% and the Chinese at 57% on WTI and Brent, with gaps of 2.9 and 2.4 points.
Elsewhere the disagreement is small. Copper, S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, the chip index, Bitcoin, Dow Jones and gold all differ by 2.4 points or less, and the Chinese AIs are the more bullish side on the S&P 500 (56% vs 54%) and the Nasdaq-100 (57% vs 55%).
