This past week in economics was full of twists and turns — from semiconductors back in the headlines with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel all making moves, to Warren Buffett’s big bet that sent UnitedHealth soaring.

Gold prices slipped on a single Trump comment, municipal bonds delivered strong yields, and mortgage rates edged lower, offering hope for homebuyers.

Meanwhile, open-source AI models from China are gaining traction, prompting U.S. companies to respond, and Amazon is pushing deeper into grocery delivery to challenge Walmart.
