Broadcomβs report added to negative AI-sector sentiment after Oracle, with the stock ending the week down about 11%. The market reaction reflected investor demand for clearer guidance on next-year outlooks rather than immediate operational alarm. #Broadcom #AI #FiatNews
Oracleβs AI-related expansion has been punished by the market after results: shares dropped ~15% post-report and roughly ~20% since the $300bn OpenAI deal was disclosed. Concerns focus on heavy debt financing for AI data-centre builds; management attributes delays to labor and materials rather than liquidity. #Oracle #AI #FiatNews

European stocks opened the week higher on December 15, 2025, as optimism around artificial intelligence continued to support markets while investors prepared for a fresh slate of macroeconomic data. The lift in European bourses came despite lingering weakness in Asian markets earlier in the session, which were still reacting to Fridayβs sell-off in US equities. #Europe #stocks #AI
Asian markets started the week by extending the impact of the US downturn, with sentiment weighed further by Chinese data showing weaker growth in industrial output and retail sales for November. The data added to caution after the prior sessionβs losses in the US.
Market attention now shifts to a cluster of macro releases due in the coming days that are expected to interact with ongoing AI-driven flows. Traders will monitor these indicators for direction and potential volatility as the week progresses. #China #FiatNews
iRobot, the company that helped popularize household robot vacuum cleaners at the turn of the millennium, filed for bankruptcy on December 15, 2025, and proposed that control be transferred to its main Chinese supplier, Shenzhen PICEA Robotics, or a PICEA subsidiary. The company has submitted a plan for the supplier to assume control as part of its insolvency proceedings. #iRobot #ShenzhenPICEA
The filing follows years of competitive pressure and shifting market dynamics in the home robotics sector. The proposal would have the supplier β which has been a key contract manufacturer for iRobotβs devices β take ownership through a takeover by its subsidiary. No financial terms or detailed restructuring timetable were disclosed in the notice.
iRobot emerged in the early 2000s as a pioneer in consumer robot vacuums and helped establish an entirely new appliance category. The companyβs bankruptcy and the suggested transfer of control to a primary supplier mark a significant development for the industry and for the brandβs future ownership structure. #FiatNews

The incoming Czech government takes charge of an economy showing solid recent performance: GDP is set to expand this year at the fastest pace in three years, while inflation has fallen to near-target levels. In November consumer prices unexpectedly eased to 2.1%, providing breathing room for policymakers as they assume office. Analysts note that energy price dynamics could push inflation even lower in January, further reducing consumer-price pressures in the near term. The combination of stronger growth and subdued inflation frames the new administrationβs starting conditions: a growth rebound after weaker years and headline inflation close to the central bankβs objective. Policymakers will now weigh how sustained lower inflation and the temporary effects of energy costs affect fiscal and monetary choices moving forward. #CzechRepublic #inflation #energy #FiatNews
