Lidl's parent Schwarz Group: €185B revenue, €11B AI data center, €5.6B second one, €500M into the Cohere/Aleph Alpha merger, own cloud, defense cloud with Hensoldt.

POWER PLAYERS TV - POWERCAST@CtrlAltDel_userTodays News Updates: THE POWER BRIEF — SEPTEMBER 16, 2026 By Editor Troy T | http://ThePowerPlayersMagazine.com Welcome to the Power Players' pulse on the world. Today is a pivot day — Wall Street, Washington, Silicon Valley, and the locker room all facing defining decisions. Here's what you need to know. 1. CURRENT EVENTS & GLOBAL NEWS The Fed's First Hike Since 2023 — Decision Day Today is the day markets have circled. The Federal Reserve concludes its September 15-16 meeting at 2 p.m. ET, and traders are pricing a 93% chance of a quarter-point hike — the first since 2023 — to 3.75% to 4%. The backdrop: resurgent oil above $100, stubborn inflation, and the 10-year Treasury breaching 5%. Chair Kevin Warsh's words may matter more than the hike itself, as Wall Street watches for signals of a new hiking cycle. EU Moves to Fortify Borders In Strasbourg, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a new European Emergency Response Framework to protect against "engineered and weaponised" mass movements of migrants. Citing events of this summer, von der Leyen said: "Europe needs the means to protect its borders at all times" while still complying with values and fundamental rights. 2. BUSINESS & MARKETS Stocks staged a modest rebound this morning after a two-day slide as oil prices eased ahead of the Fed decision. All three major indexes opened higher with investors bracing for the rate announcement. The tech-heavy Nasdaq, which has been shuffling sideways for over a month, is showing its lowest volatility reading in five years — a setup analysts say often precedes a major breakout move. Power Players Takeaway: With borrowing costs rising globally, cash is king again. Brands with real revenue — not just hype — are winning investor confidence. 3. SPORTS — THE POWER LEAGUES UNITE Five Major Leagues vs. Betting Harassment In a historic joint action today, the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS plus their players' unions united to crack down on betting-related harassment of athletes and families. The statement was blunt: “Threatening the safety of an athlete or their family members over a sports bet crosses a bright ethical and criminal line, and it is entirely unacceptable”. The leagues are calling for: A) Mandatory lifetime bans for verified harassers B) A cross-operator evidence framework for law enforcement C) Proactive monitoring by sportsbook partners as a condition of license This comes as stars like Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and others have spoken about daily threats from bettors, with one in three high-profile athletes receiving abusive messages tied to betting interests. Notably, the WNBA Players Association called out the NBA for excluding WNBA players from the joint statement. NFL Week 2 Pulse: Week 2 delivered chaos — Texans and Chiefs secured statement wins while the 49ers and Cowboys suffered upsets. Power rankings are shaking up with a new No. 1 after the Rams tumble, and the NFC North is already proving to be the most competitive division in football. 4. TECH — AI DOMINATES THE HEADLINES ByteDance's $290M AI Drug Spinout ByteDance has completed a $290 million fundraising for its AI drug discovery unit Anew Labs, valuing the Shanghai-based spinout at $1.5 billion. Led by HSG (formerly Sequoia China), IDG Capital and Hillhouse, the move keeps ByteDance with a 56% stake. Cohere + Aleph Alpha Merge for Sovereign AI Canada's Cohere and Germany's Aleph Alpha signed a definitive merger today to target enterprise and government AI. The combined company will operate as Cohere with dual HQ in Toronto and Berlin, focused on secure AI that runs inside a customer's own infrastructure and complies with local regulations. CEO Aidan Gomez said the goal is AI "powerful enough to compete, but secure and governable enough to trust". Also Watching: Chip stocks are off to a strong start on Wednesday, European startup Axelera AI landed AI factory supply deals, and Snap is holding its official launch event today in Los Angeles for its new Specs AR glasses. 5. HOT TOPICS — WHAT'S TRENDING NOW Inflation, Interest, and Impact: The rate-hike narrative is dominating TikTok, X, and finance media — #FedDay, #RateHike, and #CostOfLiving are surging. Athlete Safety vs. Sports Betting: The leagues' letter to state gaming commissions is sparking massive debate — fans questioning whether leagues enabled the very harassment they're now fighting. AI Ethics Slowdown: After Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for slowing AI capability advances, Ark's Cathie Wood called the pledge "positive for technology development" — signaling a growing split in Silicon Valley between speed and safety. Editor's Note from Troy T: Power Players, today is about protection — of your capital, your borders, your players, and your data. The winners this week won't be the loudest, they'll be the most governed, secure, and disciplined. That's the Power Players way. Publish Ready For: http://ThePowerPlayersMagazine.com20d
