Giraron al alza los índices de Bolsa de Estados Unidos tras decisión de Corte Suprema de declarar ilegales los aranceles de Trump. El fallo afecta a aproximadamente el 50% de los que hay en el presente impuestos. No están dentro los sectoriales y los temporales. El Partido Demócrata pide que se devuelvan a los ciudadanos. Preguntamos por ello a Ignacio Cantos, de ATL Capital. En UE dicen que toman nota. Desde la Fed, Bostic asegura que es difícil contemplar consecuencias. El fallo judicial, que puede dejar una mayor incertidumbre comercial, pone en segundo plano referencias económicas del día. PIB y deflactor. El crecimiento se desacelera e inflación se mantiene ligeramente más alta que las previsiones. Mal la confianza del consumidor. Preocupan, por otro lado, esos planes militares de EE.UU apuntando a Irán, posible cambio de régimen y ataques a individuos clave del régimen de Teherán. Y Blue Owl vuelve a caer ante la inquietud de los inversores tras la venta de activos y los cambios en el fondo de deuda.

With only a few weeks left to his time in office, Dr. Raphael Bostic reflects on his time as the 15th president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. In front of a live “Closer Look” audience, Bostic shared what it took to oversee the economic wellbeing of all or most of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana – a region that is far from a monolith. Speaking with host Rose Scott, he dispels any suspicion that he’s leaving because of the Trump Administration’s economic policies, evaluates whether he accomplished what he came to office to do, discusses how the bank addresses economic disparities, and shares what a happy retirement looks like to him. Bostic also took questions from the live audience, which included business school students from Emory University. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One former defense official summed it up: “They're definitely looking for more, and they're doing it in a deliberate and expansive way.” The Pentagon's urgency is clear. “China's ability to turn off the supply of these critical minerals would have a direct, palpable and adverse effect on US ability to field the kind of high-tech capabilities that we're going to need for any kind of strategic competition or conflict,” said Stephanie Barna of Covington & Burling in Washington. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) adds fuel — $7.5 billion earmarked for critical minerals, including $2 billion to fortify the national stockpile and another $5 billion to expand U.S. supply chains. As one former official put it, offices handling mineral security are now “flush with cash.” Source: zerohedge.com A Hawkish Fed Official Is Rethinking His Stance on Rate Cuts  Raphael Bostic has spent most of 2025 as one of the Federal Reserve's most steadfast inflation hawks. The Atlanta Fed president projected just one interest rate cut for the year when most of his colleagues on the Fed's policymaking committee anticipated three. Even after the central bank trimmed rates by a quarter of a percentage point in September, Bostic said he would support delaying further rate cuts until 2026.

US equities finished higher in Wednesday trading, with the Dow Jones, S&P500, and Nasdaq finishing up 104bps, 32bps, and 14bps respectively. The Equal-weight S&P posted its best day since late May amid very positive breadth. Small-caps had another standout session. Fedspeak included Chicago's Goolsbee saying he doesn't like precommitting on rate moves, and Bostic saying one rate cut this year still appropriate.

A tough morning after July Jobs data disappointed along with some HUGE revisions when it comes to prior months:Sara Eisen and David Faber broke down the latest – plus new data crossing top of the hour – alongside the market impact for stocks already seeing pressure following new tariff rates on over 60 U.S. trading partners from the Trump Administration. Goldman's Chief Economist Jan Hatzius discussed his case for stagflation, and what he calls “an economy that's still growing – but growing very slowly” – but a bit of a different story from Atlanta Fed President Bostic, who joined the team exclusively with a few greenshoots… albeit despite “a very difficult environment right now”.   Also in focus: Big Tech and Crypto. The Head of the SEC discussed the regulator's new “Project Crypto” and what it means for the industry… And don't miss advice on what to do with Amazon and Apple shares, along with the rest of the Mag-7, as the group falls alongside the NASDAQ.
