This Bloomberg "Insight" episode covers the BOJ holding rates as underlying inflation finally hits its 2% target 3:22-3:51, Binance's suspected hack with ~$6.3B impact, AI trade worries after Intel and Amazon earnings, and surging Indian EV maker Ather Energy.
Key Takeaways:

• Binance suspended deposits after a suspected hack via a compromised employee laptop, with ~$3B frozen—mostly stablecoins frozen by issuers like Tether; Bobby Lee calls it crypto's biggest hack, only half likely recoverable 6:46-11:21.
• Lee notes exchange hacks are inherent risks, but AI-assisted hacking is escalating—urging regulation of frontier AI models and exchange storage practices 7:57-14:26.
• Asian tech sold off after Intel's weak Q4 guidance and Amazon's $77B AI spend; RBC's Chheda advises staying selective, favoring power/energy infrastructure and diversification 16:39-21:13.
• Ather Energy shares surged ~115-130%; CEO Mehta says Indian scooter EV adoption crossed 25%, demand is ~2x supply, with capacity ramping to ~95,000 units/month 26:51-34:19.
• Ole Hansen warns copper inventories are at unprecedented ~80%, and Brent's new range is likely $70-90 rather than $60 36:46-41:39.
