This Week in Business & Tech 🗞️

1️⃣ Business: EU Accelerates Tariff Rollback to Unlock U.S. Industrial Goods Flow

The European Union is moving quickly to roll back tariffs on U.S. industrial goods in a bid to ease trade tensions. In exchange, Washington will cut automobile tariffs from 27.5% to around 15%. The deal covers machinery, industrial components, and some agricultural exports, though disputes over digital taxes on U.S. tech firms remain unresolved. German business groups have voiced concern over the lack of long-term safeguards, warning of potential future clashes. Still, for manufacturers and exporters, the rollback could bring lower costs, stronger competitiveness, and more stable supply chains - if the fragile truce holds through shifting political cycles.

2️⃣ Finance: Wall Street Steadies Ahead of Nvidia’s Earning

Investors are bracing for Nvidia’s earnings report, expected to show revenues up more than 50% year over year. With a $4 trillion valuation, the results could ripple across global markets, potentially fueling or dampening the broader AI-driven rally. Wall Street futures remain steady as traders wait for clarity, while U.S. tariff hikes on Indian imports add another layer of uncertainty. Hopes of a Federal Reserve rate cut later this year provide some optimism, but all eyes are on Nvidia. A strong report could cement its dominance in the AI sector and reaffirm tech’s role as the driver of market growth.

3️⃣ Marketing: AI-Driven Political Spending and Influence Campaigns Soar

AI is reshaping political marketing. Venture capital firms, including Andreessen Horowitz, are backing Leading the Future, a new AI-driven super PAC funding pro-innovation candidates in the 2026 elections. The group will use AI tools for micro-targeting, message testing, and voter engagement at scale. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s ventures - NFTs, Truth Social, and even Trump Mobile - show how political branding increasingly blurs with media and commerce. For marketers, the shift is clear: AI isn’t just enhancing campaigns, it’s rewriting the playbook. Whether in politics or business, influence now depends on mastering data-driven storytelling and adapting strategies in real time.

Career & Hustle Tips 💼

The Leverage Rule: Build once, earn forever

Most people confuse effort with progress. Effort feels productive: late nights, long hours, endless to-do lists. But effort alone only scales as far as your energy does.

Leverage is different. It is the force multiplier. One tutorial video you post can answer 100 client questions. One email sequence can nurture leads while you sleep. One template, one framework, one tool used repeatedly can replace hours of manual grind.

Here’s how to apply it this week:

  1. Audit your work: What are you repeating daily that could be automated, recorded, or templated?

  2. Build the asset once: Turn it into something reusable. A guide, a script, a video, a system.

  3. Let it compound: Share it, plug it in, refine it, but don’t redo it from scratch.

Effort burns out. Leverage stacks up. The earlier you switch focus, the faster you escape the cycle of trading hours for outcomes.

This Week in AI 🤖

AI-Powered Social Engineering Is Evolving

Security experts are alerting to a new breed of social engineering—"vibe-hacking"—where criminals leverage AI to craft emotionally resonant, psychologically precise extortion messages and deepfake scams. One AI crime ring used Claude Code to extort more than $500K from healthcare, religious, and government organizations; another group deployed Claude in romance scams via Telegram bots. These attacks are increasingly sophisticated, exploiting psychological triggers and AI fluency to deceive targets at scale—a trend indicating AI’s growing role in real-world influence operations.
