One UK item worth filing away. The government is pushing for mandatory pay disclosure on job adverts as part of its effort to help the almost 1m young people not in education, employment or training. Alan Milburn’s review on the subject is due later this month. Business commentary so far suggests employers are not united on the pay disclosure idea, though some say they are ready to hire from these groups if government lets them.
The biggest market-relevant story is Nvidia. Trump says the FBI is “looking into” Jensen Huang after reports of his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. The Guardian says Huang has admitted the affair and faces an internal investigation at the company, while the FT still describes the claims as allegations, so what has been confirmed is not yet clear. Trump says he spoke to Huang on Monday, and Elon Musk and other prominent finance figures have publicly backed him. Wired reports he engaged a PR firm with a history of handling sex scandals a year ago, shortly after an October 2025 New York Times report on Alice Huang’s business dealings with him. For anyone holding the world’s most valuable chip company, this is now a key-person risk. The FT’s view is that the world has become too reliant on one chief executive.
In AI, the Wall Street Journal reports Anthropic plans to go ahead with its IPO and is expected to set a valuation range this week. That would give the market its first public pricing of a frontier lab.
Separately, California voters rejected Proposition 40, the one-time 5% tax on billionaires. Tech leaders outspent backers roughly 10 to 1, and the economists TechCrunch spoke to were split on whether it would have driven wealthy residents out of the state.
On Ukraine, G7 foreign ministers are meeting in Paris ahead of US-mediated Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi. European diplomats are pressing Marco Rubio for a role in those talks. The Economist argues Trump is in a hurry for a deal and Putin is not, and that American-brokered talks may help Russia prolong the war. On Iran, Trump says further US attacks are “highly unlikely” and that the US is holding a “status quo”, while staying “locked and loaded” if that changes.
