BlackRock is teaming up with Microsoft and others to raise a $30 billion fund, and Fink said that the private market needs to pay special attention to how data centers are powered. "In the short term, lets be clear that it will be powered primarily by natural gas, natural gas in the United States," Fink said, adding that electricity demand should trigger discussions about the future role of nuclear energy.On January 23, the European Stoxx 600 index hit a record high for the first time since September, as investors became increasingly confident that the United States might not implement the most severe tariff measures it had previously threatened.
