1.The U.S. Senate passed a temporary spending bill aimed at ending the longest government shutdown in history, which has lasted for 41 days. The bill now needs to be voted on by the House of Representatives and signed by the President to take effect. This move is a result of bipartisan compromise, providing short-term relief to the economic and livelihood impacts, but the core disagreements are only postponed. A deadlock could still occur after January 30, highlighting the trend of increasing political polarization in the U.S.

Currently, it has been implemented in 22 cities worldwide, with over 17 million fully unmanned orders completed.
2.$XPeng(XPEV.US)
XPeng's stock surged over 17% today, as XPeng Motors recently unveiled four major applications centered around "Physical AI" at the 2025 XPeng Tech Day, including the second-generation XPeng VLA large model, XPeng Robotaxi, the new generation IRON humanoid robot, and the HT Aero flying car. The debut of the female robot and its highly realistic humanoid gait attracted significant attention. Leading institutions such as Morgan Stanley and Citibank recently released reports bullish on XPeng Motors, greatly enhancing market recognition and investment confidence in the company.
3.$Intel(INTC.US)
Intel's Chief Technology and AI Officer, Sachin Katti, has resigned to join OpenAI, where he will be responsible for infrastructure development, including data centers and AI chips. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger will take over his position, emphasizing that AI remains a core strategic focus for the company. Katti's addition will accelerate OpenAI's in-house chip development process, reducing reliance on external suppliers. For Intel, the loss of a key executive may delay its AI chip strategy, compounded by its current competitive disadvantage in the GPU field, necessitating accelerated product innovation to maintain market position.
