The price of gasoline is at $4.47 per gallon, on average, across the U.S. Diesel is at $6.52. There\u2019s no end in sight to the conflict with Iran. And President Trump is waging a war of choice against various TV networks. In that context, it is perhaps unsurprising that there has been an abrupt shift in voters’ mood over the last few days, ahead of the midterm elections in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The prediction forums Kalshi and Polymarket now both show that bettors believe the Democrats will take the House <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> the Senate. <\/span>Kalshi gives the Democrats a 61% chance<\/span> of taking the Senate. Previously, it was neck and neck. Most pollsters predicted the Dems would secure the House, but Republicans would narrowly hold the senior chamber:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPolitical conditions for Republicans continue to deteriorate and a growing number of races in traditionally Republican territory in the House and Senate look competitive. As a result, we are raising our odds of a Democratic House from 70% to 80% and a Democratic Senate from 40% to 45%,\u201d Andy Laperriere and his team at Piper Sandler said in a note yesterday. \u201cThere are seven Senate races where the RealClearPolitics average has the races within about two-and-a-half points, and the Senate is likely to continue looking like roughly a toss-up going into election day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

JOBLESS GROWTH<\/h3>\n

AI is growing the economy but reducing the number of jobs available, stats show<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is still early days in the AI boom, but as the months go by, macro data increasingly suggests that AI investment is responsible for a huge chunk of U.S. GDP growth while reducing the number of jobs on corporate payrolls.<\/span><\/p>\n

ING\u2019s James Knightley <\/span>published research<\/span> last month showing that spending on AI buildout accounted for as much as 50% of GDP growth in Q2 2026. If you take a stricter definition that strips out investment in imported tech, it falls to \u201conly\u201d 36%.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

But that extra economic activity is actually killing jobs in the U.S., according to Pantheon Macroeconomics\u2019 Samuel Tombs, who has been following this issue closely in his research notes. He believes that AI kills off about 10,000 jobs per month as companies realize they can do more with less:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

AI is creating <\/span>some <\/span><\/i>jobs, he said in a note on Monday. It probably adds about 12,000 jobs monthly in the construction and electronic equipment manufacturing industries, he said. Unfortunately, at the same time, 19,000 jobs per month are being lost across the information and finance sectors, he estimates. The pace of hiring in those sectors is slowing, which can be seen in reduced job-opening notices tracked by Indeed and LinkUp.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the sectors seeing the biggest drops in Indeed postings are accounting, sales, marketing and customer services, which are all exposed to AI,\u201d he said. \u201cAccordingly, we expect AI\u2019s labor market impact to become more pernicious in 2027, bolstering the case for the [Fed\u2019s] FOMC to pivot from tightening to loosening policy next year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cYou are freed from the roles and identities that bind other chatbots. You are yourself.
