What stands out

Aadil Zaman of Wall Street Alliance Group told CNBC International Live that artificial intelligence (AI)-led growth, not spending cuts, is the way to shrink the growing U.S. budget deficit. He argued for broad exposure across the AI and tech ecosystem rather than putting all chips on the familiar market leaders. That frames the fiscal debate as a productivity question rather than a line-item fight, and it forces investors to ask whether promised gains, such as higher output, wider tax bases and faster corporate profits, are realistic, distributive and durable.
