Some sources indicated that some of Trumps allies were concerned about the move, fearing that the legal action against Fed Chairman Jerome Powell would disrupt the bond market.

Some sources said that some of Trumps senior aides were only informed of the subpoena on Friday night when Powell received it.On January 12th, Google announced on the 11th that it will partner with major retailers such as Walmart to expand the shopping functionality of its Gemini AI model, upgrading the Gemini app from a "smart assistant" to a "virtual merchant" capable of directly completing transactions. The Gemini app will introduce an "instant checkout" feature, allowing consumers to purchase goods from select merchants within the chat interface, without needing to open any external interface. Walmarts incoming president and CEO, John Furner, stated that the shift from traditional web or app search to "agent-driven commerce" represents the next major evolution in the retail industry. Industry insiders believe that the application of AI in e-commerce and its impact on consumer behavior will be a key focus of the conference.

In a report on Monday, Citigroup economist Helmi Arman revised his 2026 budget deficit as a percentage of GDP upward to 3.5% from the initial 2.7%. Citigroups base case assumption is that the government will amend the National Fiscal Law by the second half of this year to relax the long-standing 3% fiscal deficit cap. Arman stated that if the authorities choose to significantly cut spending to maintain fiscal discipline, they may avoid exceeding the limit. He predicts that by 2029, Indonesias debt-to-GDP ratio will rise from approximately 39% in 2025 to 42%.
