About this episode

The episode discusses the earnings of the Magnificent Seven, Anthropic's valuation, insights on Iran from economist Iraj Abedian, and the UK property market for South African investors.

In today's BizNews Daybreak, we look at the "Magnificent Seven's" earnings, where Amazon’s cloud growth shines despite heavy AI spending. Anthropic weighs a massive valuation leap to $90 billion, while Fed Chair Jay Powell commits to his term amid a controversial building investigation. Economist Iraj Abedian provides a harrowing look inside a sanctioned Iran, describing a nation facing public executions, food shortages, and a total "net blockade" designed to cut off all global connectivity for 90 million people. Additionally, the UAE’s exit from OPEC signals a major shift in oil market influence, while experts highlight the accessibility of UK property mortgages for South African investors.
