With the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) kicking off next month, tech companies from around the world are excited to showcase their latest products. Despite the many tech advancements that will be highlighted, generative AI is likely to be the one that takes center stage. Bob O’Donnell, TECHnalysis Research President and Chief Analyst, joins Yahoo Finance Live and shares what he expects to see at CES. Although there are going to be startups leaving their mark in audio and video applications, O’Donnell makes the case that the big tech companies are going to see the greatest earnings in 2024. The smaller companies are going to be financially challenged with building the foundation models that are essential for creating new and accurate AI systems, O’Donnell says, while companies like Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN) will be a case of the "big getting bigger."

Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Macro Strategist Mike McGlone says prices are trying to hold on to the $2,000 support, which used to be a price of resistance. McGlone believes that gold purchasing will remain high, noting “the deepest pockets on the planet are buying gold.

It's been just over a year since ChatGPT started to dominate headlines. The OpenAI platform introduced the world to generative AI, a type of AI that can be used in everyday functions. But what will 2024 bring? More AI. Bob O’Donnell, TECHnalysis Research President & Chief Analyst joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss what the next wave of AI means for users, companies, and investors. Despite the craze over generative AI in the past year, O’Donnell says that not many people in the workforce have been directly using the applications, but that’s all going to change in the coming year. While everyday people are going to be using AI, businesses are going to see a greater impact than the average consumer, O’Donnell maintains. Nvidia (NVDA) has been the biggest name associated with AI, but "in 2024, we're going to see a ton of other semiconductor companies, obviously, be going after Nvidia. And the truth is, the market is looking for more competition,” O’Donnell says. In terms of semiconductors, O'Donnell points to announcements from Intel (INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and how those companies will be looking to bring their chips to the masses. He also explains how tech companies like Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) are going to join the ring with Nvidia and Qualcomm (QCOM), pioneering the next generation of AI-processing software.For more episodes from our NEXT series, click here.

* Powell says risks of over- or under-tightening now balanced * U.S. manufacturing sector remains in contraction territory * Post-Powell, U.S. rate futures price in 62% chance of March rate cut (Adds comment, updates prices) By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss NEW YORK, Dec 1 (Reuters) - The dollar fell on Friday, after two days of gains, as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell struck a cautious tone on further interest rate moves, saying that the risk of under- or over-tightening is now more balanced. The market viewed his comments as dovish, with investors pricing in expectations that the Fed is likely done raising rates.

Pound was stronger against the euro and could continue to get a lift from expectations that the ECB will cut interest rates before the BOE.

The main economic release Friday is the ISM manufacturing PMI, while traders will also pay close attention to comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell later in the session, looking for clues of the central bank’s rate outlook.

* Euro falls after inflation data * Dollar rises, but set for weakest month in a year * U.S. inflation moderates in October * Yen back from the brink; strongest month in 2023 * Month-end activity muddles FX action (Updates prices, adds Fed rate cut probabilities next year) By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss NEW YORK, Nov 30 (Reuters) - The dollar gained on Thursday as investors took profits on bets the currency would weaken further and shrugged off data showing signs the U.S. economy is slowing. Euro weakness after a soft euro zone inflation report also partly helped boost the greenback, analysts said. The dollar index, which measures its value against six major currencies, rose 0.6% to 103.38 and was on track to post its best daily gain in more than a month.

* Euro falls after inflation data * Dollar rises, but set for weakest month in a year * U.S. inflation moderates in October * Yen back from the brink; strongest month in 2023 * Month-end activity muddles FX action (Recasts; adds new comment, details, monthly milestones, bullets; updates prices) By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss NEW YORK, Nov 30 (Reuters) - The dollar gained on Thursday as investors took profits on bets it would weaken further and it shrugged off data showing signs of a slowing U.S. economy that suggested the Federal Reserve may be done raising interest rates. Euro weakness after a soft euro zone inflation report also partly helped boost the greenback, analysts said.

The euro fell on Thursday after euro zone inflation eased by more than forecast this month, fuelling bets of early European Central Bank rate cuts, while the dollar rose from a three-month low but was still set for its biggest monthly drop in a year. Consumer price growth in the 20 nations that share the euro currency dropped to 2.4% in November from 2.9% in October, well below expectations for a fall to 2.7%. "The message from today's European CPI data is clear," said Matthew Landon, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank.

The European Commission's proposal to support Ukraine with 50 billion euros ($54.6 billion) of loans and grants over the next four years is not contested by anybody, European Budget Commissioner Johannes Hahn told a news briefing on Thursday. EU governments have been haggling over a revision of the 27-nation bloc's long-term budget after the Commission proposed in mid-year that EU countries provide an extra 66 billion euros to the common budget, most of it for Ukraine.

The annual rate of inflation in the eurozone was lower than expected for the second straight month in November, increasing the likelihood that the European Central Bank’s next move will be a cut. Consumer prices were 2.4% higher than a year earlier in November, the slowest increase since July 2021. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal last week had expected to see a much more modest dip in the inflation rate to 2.8% from 2.9% in October.

The UK’s debt-to-GDP ratio is set to rise above official forecasts given continued pressure for more spending unless future governments raise revenues, reduce the welfare state or significantly improve growth.

The dollar edged up from a three-month low on Thursday but was still set to post its steepest monthly decline in a year as investors ramped up bets that the Federal Reserve was done with rate hikes ahead of a crucial inflation report later in the day. The euro dropped after lower-than-forecast French consumer prices data, a day after data showed price growth in Germany and Spain also slowed, suggesting downside risks to the euro area figure released later in the day. "The key drivers in November for the dollar weakness have been the benign inflation data and the loosening signs of the labour market," said Mohamad Al-Saraf, associate, FX and rates strategy at Danske Bank.

Euro zone sovereign bond yields fell and money markets increased their bets on future interest rate cuts on Wednesday after German and Spanish inflation eased by more than expected in November. The inflation rate in Germany fell to 2.3% this month, data from the federal statistics office showed, below expectations in a Reuters poll of 2.6%. Data released earlier from German states had indicated a slowdown in price pressures, while Spain's 12-month inflation rate fell to 3.2% in November, below expectations of 3.7%.

The U.S. dollar rose slightly on Wednesday after falling to its lowest in more than three months on hopes that the Federal Reserve will soon cut rates, while the euro slipped as data showed European inflation cooled in November. Comments from Fed official Christopher Waller flagging a possible rate cut in the months ahead sent U.S. bond yields and the dollar sliding on Tuesday.

Euro zone sovereign bond yields fell and money markets increased their bets on future policy rate cuts on Wednesday after data from Germany's most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) supported expectations for a drop in German inflation. Data from German states is used to calculate a preliminary inflation figure, which will be released later in the day. Germany's 10-year bond yield, the benchmark for the euro area, fell 5.5 basis points (bps) to 2.44% after briefly hitting 2.418%, its lowest since early August.

Euro zone economic sentiment increased slightly for a second consecutive month in November, in line with expectations, as a modest up-tick of the mood in services, retail and amongst consumers outweighed a decline in manufacturers' confidence. The European Commission's monthly survey on Wednesday showed economic sentiment in the 20 countries sharing the euro rose to 93.8 points from a revised 93.5 in October. Sentiment in services, the biggest sector of the euro zone economy, rose against expectations of a decline, while for industry, sentiment fell against expectations of an increase.

Investors expect the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates in 2024, which has sent the dollar tumbling.

The euro was up against the dollar and the small improvement in German consumer sentiment was seen as a good sign for the euro.

The U.S. dollar edged higher in early European trade Tuesday, but remained near a three-month low as traders awaited key inflation data amid growing conviction that the Federal Reserve has completed its rate-hiking cycle. The dollar retreated on Monday after data showed that U.S. new home sales fell 5.6% in October, pointing to a slowdown in the U.S. economy, and supporting bets that the Federal Reserve could start cutting interest rates in the first half of next year after ending its hiking cycle at the start of this month. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index, is expected to have risen 0.1% in November, a fall from 0.4% in September.

The euro has gone back and forth during the course of the week, showing signs of hesitation after an extraordinarily bullish week for the previous candle.

The U.S. dollar edged lower in thin holiday-affected volumes Friday, amid uncertainty of the future path of U.S. interest rates. Volumes are likely to be limited Friday due to a shorter U.S. trading session after Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday. This data “has triggered a growing market impact, but may fail to decisively steer the dollar in a low-volume day,” said analysts at ING, in a note.

Euro zone bond yields rose on Thursday after economic data showed European economies were struggling in November but faring less badly than expected. The yield on Germany's 10-year bond, the benchmark for the bloc, was last up 3 basis points (bps) at 2.593%. Business activity in the euro zone contracted in November, according to purchasing managers' index (PMI) survey data released on Thursday, although the figures were slightly less bad than economists expected.
