Anthropic: As of August 2026, Claude accounted for 26% of AI R&D usage.On September 18th, NBC reported, citing seven current and former U.S. and Western officials, that the Pentagon is assessing a significant reduction in U.S. military deployments in Europe, potentially withdrawing approximately 25,000 troops, roughly one-third of the current U.S. troop presence in the region. The proposed reduction could even extend to a maximum of 40,000 troops. If implemented, this would be the largest adjustment to the U.S. military presence in Europe since the end of the Cold War. Currently, the U.S. has approximately 80,000 troops stationed in Europe, primarily in Germany, Italy, and Spain. The report states that the Pentagon launched a six-month review of its European troop presence in June. European Command Commander Alex Greenkiewicz is expected to submit the assessment to Defense Secretary Hergsays soon, with plans potentially involving reductions in air and naval personnel, ground troops, or adjustments to troop deployment locations. Pentagon officials stated that the review aims to ensure U.S. military deployments align with the "America First" strategy. Some European countries and U.S. lawmakers have expressed concern about the large-scale withdrawal, arguing that it could weaken NATOs deterrent capabilities. Supporters, however, believe the U.S. should reallocate its overseas military resources, assigning more regional defense responsibilities to Europe. The relevant plan has not yet been finalized, and any withdrawal is expected to proceed after the final recommendation is submitted to the president for approval.According to NBC News, the Pentagon is considering withdrawing nearly a third of its U.S. troops from Europe.OpenAI launches a new AI model for law firms.The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 316.14 points, or 0.61%, to close at 51,778.04 on Thursday, September 17; the S&P 500 rose 85.91 points, or 1.14%, to close at 7,637.72; and the Nasdaq Composite rose 439.87 points, or 1.69%, to close at 26,418.30.

After the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported a further decline in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous month, the AUD/JPY pair dropped significantly to near 87.80. (Feb). The economic data came in at 6.9%, which was lower than both the consensus estimate of 7.1% and the previous release of 7.4%.

 

Australian Retail Sales increased by 0.2% on Tuesday, which was below the consensus estimate of 0.4% and the previous release of 1.9%. A weaker-than-expected retail demand suggests that households are bearing the burden of higher inflation and are having difficulty compensating for the impact of inflated products with their present purchasing power.

 

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) would be encouraged to maintain monetary policy at its April meeting as a result of the synergistic effect of declining Retail Sales and the Consumer Price Index. In March, RBA Governor Philip Lowe increased the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 3.60 percent. Investors should be aware of this fact.

 

Every subsequent Friday, the China Bureau of Statistics will disseminate Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing PMI data. Following the abolition of pandemic controls, the Chinese economy is promoting development through monetary measures, so market participants anticipate a respectable performance. Australia is China's largest trading partner, and China's accelerating economic activity will also benefit the Australian Dollar.

 

As the target for sustainable inflation has not yet been attained, the former governor of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, remained extremely pessimistic about future monetary policy regarding the Japanese Yen. "It is premature to discuss a withdrawal from easy monetary policy," he continued. And "More time is required to consistently and sustainably reach the price target."
