👋Good morning. The news cycle didn't bother easing into this week — it hit the ground sprinting yesterday, no warm-up lap included. Central bankers spent the weekend insisting the inflation fight isn't finished, corner offices kept reshuffling like a game of musical chairs nobody wants to lose, and the conversation everyone's actually having — quietly, over coffee, in board meetings — is what artificial intelligence is going to do to jobs, safety, and who gets to decide either. Add a marquee US-China summit landing later this week, and you've got a business world that's equal parts jittery and wired. Good. That's the fun kind of Monday. Here's everything you need before the caffeine kicks in.
