Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Norah Mulinda

Today’s Podcast Features are:

-Herman Chan, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Analyst for US Regional Banks, on how One of American banks’ fastest-growing businesses is lending to the very companies trying to grab their market share. Traditional bank lending to non-bank financial institutions like private equity firms, hedge funds and private credit shops more than doubled in the past five years, according to data analyzed by Bloomberg. That 16% annualized rate far surpassed their lending to categories including agriculture, credit cards, commercial and industrial companies as well as foreign governments, the data show.

-Steve Man, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Autos and Industrials Research Analyst, discusses how Donald Trump’s planned tariffs on auto imports will hurt carmakers around the world and push up prices for US consumers. Among the many losers, one winner stands out: Elon Musk’s Tesla.

- Jon Lin, Chief Business Officer at Equinix on AI’s impact on the data center industry in 2025 plus how Stargate and DeepSeek impacted the conversation, and the growing focus of water usage in data centers.
