Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 13 Agosto 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Fisco, Manovra e finanza pubblicaTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / MF- La Manovra 2027 entra nella fase decisiva con un fabbisogno indicato in oltre 30 miliardi di euro e, nelle ricostruzioni più ampie, con un perimetro di spesa vicino a 36 miliardi nel triennio. Il dossier più sensibile resta il nuovo taglio dell'IRPEF al ceto medio, con l'ipotesi di ridurre l'aliquota dal 43% al 33% per i redditi tra 50.000 e 60.000 euro, per un costo stimato intorno a 2,7 miliardi.- Sul tavolo figurano anche contratti pubblici, social card, energia, pensioni, sanità e difesa. Il Governo punta a utilizzare circa 14 miliardi di nuova capacità di spesa per energia e difesa, mentre il resto delle coperture dovrà essere ricomposto nel quadro europeo.- La componente sociale resta rilevante: vengono indicati almeno 5 miliardi per la sanità e circa 2 miliardi per il rinnovo dei contratti pubblici, insieme alla conferma della tassazione al 5% sui rinnovi e alla possibilità di introdurre misure una tantum per giovani e donne.- Sul fronte delle entrate torna l'ipotesi di un contributo straordinario del 5% sugli utili delle principali banche. Intesa Sanpaolo e UniCredit avrebbero generato insieme una base di circa 12 miliardi di utili semestrali, mentre per l'intero sistema degli intermediari la stima citata si colloca tra 30 e 40 miliardi.- Il vero punto di attenzione per mercati e investitori non è quindi la dimensione nominale della Manovra, ma la qualità delle coperture e la capacità di finanziare gli interventi senza compromettere credito, deficit e credibilità fiscale.Inflazione, energia e potere d'acquistoTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Sole 24 Ore / MF- L'inflazione italiana di luglio viene rivista al rialzo al 2,9% su base annua e allo 0,3% mensile. L'inflazione acquisita per il 2026 raggiunge il 2,7%, con una dinamica dei prezzi meno uniforme rispetto ai mesi precedenti.- Il carrello della spesa mostra segnali di rallentamento, mentre servizi, trasporti ed energia continuano a esercitare una pressione più significativa sui bilanci familiari.- L'energia regolamentata aumenta del 14,8% su base annua e del 6,5% nel solo mese di luglio, mentre sul mercato libero l'elettricità registra un incremento del 9,7%.- Benzina e gasolio salgono rispettivamente di circa 8% e 18,8% su base annua, mentre i trasporti aumentano del 4,3%. Per una famiglia di quattro persone viene stimato un aggravio complessivo di circa 1.020 euro.- La pressione è particolarmente concentrata nei servizi turistici. Alberghi e ristorazione registrano aumenti superiori al 3%, mentre gli affitti brevi salgono del 9% in Liguria e del 7,6% in Sardegna.- Sul territorio, la Calabria registra l'inflazione regionale più elevata con +3,5%, seguita da Campania +3,3%, Puglia e Sicilia +3,2%. Tra le grandi città spiccano Reggio Calabria +4%, Napoli e Catania +3,4%.Energia, petrolio e rischio HormuzTestate: Repubblica / Corriere della Sera- Il mercato petrolifero resta strutturalmente teso. L'Agenzia Internazionale dell'Energia stima un deficit di circa 1,8 milioni di barili al giorno, mentre la produzione russa viene indicata in forte contrazione.- Le scorte globali hanno recuperato soltanto parzialmente. Il quadro combina quindi consumi in ripresa e un'offerta relativamente poco elastica, aumentando la sensibilità delle quotazioni a ogni nuovo shock geopolitico.- Il gas europeo resta intorno ai 60 euro per MWh sul TTF di Amsterdam, livello che continua a incidere direttamente sulla competitività delle imprese energivore e sui costi di trasporto.- Resta inoltre il rischio di un prolungamento della chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz. In uno scenario persistente, l'impatto si trasferirebbe rapidamente su greggio, benzina, gasolio, prodotti raffinati e margini industriali.- Per le imprese, il tema energetico non è quindi soltanto macroeconomico: coperture, diversificazione geografica degli approvvigionamenti e gestione dei contratti diventano vere decisioni di tesoreria.Banche, M&A e corporate Italia-GermaniaTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa- L'Italia continua a rafforzare la propria presenza industriale e finanziaria in Germania. Da inizio 2023 a luglio 2026 vengono contabilizzate 100 operazioni tra M&A e accordi commerciali, per un valore complessivo di 17,8 miliardi di euro.- Oltre l'80% del valore è riconducibile alla scalata UniCredit-Commerzbank, pari a circa 14,9 miliardi di euro per il 47,6% dell'istituto tedesco.- Il confronto storico è significativo: tra 2015 e 2022 le operazioni italiane in Germania valevano 9,5 miliardi, contro 7,7 miliardi di operazioni tedesche in Italia. Il rapporto si sta quindi progressivamente ribaltando.- La pipeline comprende anche l'accordo da 3,6 miliardi di euro tra Italo e Siemens per 26 nuovi treni ad Alta Velocità, l'espansione di MFE in ProSiebenSat.1, l'acquisizione di Centrotec Climate Systems da parte di Ariston e quella di Heidelberg Engineering da parte di EssilorLuxottica.- La BCE non porrebbe un veto all'operazione UniCredit-Commerzbank, ma sottolinea la complessità dell'integrazione e la necessità di preservare un coefficiente patrimoniale vicino al 12,5%.- Il quadro complessivo è positivo: la maggiore solidità patrimoniale di alcune imprese e banche italiane consente oggi di trasformare la relativa debolezza tedesca in un'opportunità di consolidamento continentale.Intelligenza Artificiale, mercati e portafogli obbligazionariTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MF / Corriere della Sera- La corsa all'Intelligenza Artificiale comincia a produrre effetti rilevanti anche sul mercato obbligazionario. Per il 2026 vengono stimate emissioni di debito legate all'AI per circa 360 miliardi di dollari, di cui circa 300 miliardi riconducibili alle Big Tech.- L'aumento dell'offerta di obbligazioni può esercitare pressione sulla curva dei Treasury. Il rendimento del decennale potrebbe aumentare di circa 10 punti base, mentre le scadenze più lunghe risultano ancora più sensibili.- Il Treasury a 20 anni viene indicato intorno al 5,23%, contro circa il 4,5% di fine giugno. La crescita del capex AI viene quindi finanziata sempre più attraverso debito di lunga durata.- Per gli investitori emerge un rischio specifico: la vita economica degli asset AI può essere molto più breve della durata dei finanziamenti utilizzati per costruirli. La selezione della duration diventa quindi centrale.- Sul mercato azionario la tecnologia continua però a guidare la crescita: Nvidia sale del 2,5%, Micron del 6,5%, mentre il Nasdaq risulta il migliore tra i principali indici americani. In Italia, il FTSE MIB supera per la prima volta quota 53.000 punti.- Il quadro resta quindi favorevole all'AI, ma cresce il rischio di concentrazione sia nel mercato azionario sia nel credito corporate.Fondo sovrano norvegese e gestione del capitaleTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MF / Corriere della Sera- Il Fondo sovrano norvegese registra nel primo semestre 2026 circa 160 miliardi di euro di utili, con un rendimento del 9,4%.- Il patrimonio complessivo supera 2.380 miliardi di dollari, con il 72,1% investito in azioni globali, circa il 26% in obbligazioni governative e il restante 2% in immobili commerciali e infrastrutture.- Tra le esposizioni tecnologiche figurano Nvidia, Alphabet e TSMC, confermando come anche un investitore estremamente diversificato mantenga una presenza significativa nei principali vincitori del ciclo AI.- La regola fiscale norvegese consente prelievi annuali intorno al 3% del patrimonio. Circa il 20-25% del bilancio dello Stato viene così finanziato dai trasferimenti del fondo.- Il modello norvegese resta uno dei principali esempi di disciplina intergenerazionale: trasformare una rendita temporanea in capitale permanente attraverso diversificazione, regole di prelievo e orizzonte di lungo periodo.Immobiliare, wealth e protezione del patrimonioTestate: Repubblica- Nel mercato residenziale italiano emerge un problema crescente di sostenibilità economica delle operazioni di demolizione e ricostruzione. In molti Comuni, i costi degli interventi superano i ricavi potenzialmente ottenibili dalla vendita.- Milano rappresenta un'eccezione grazie a valori immobiliari molto elevati. Il prezzo medio di vendita viene indicato intorno a 6.663 euro al metro quadrato, mentre il costo di ristrutturazione è vicino a 1.300 euro e quello di demolizione e ricostruzione può raggiungere 2.200 euro.- Nelle città medie e piccole, invece, agevolazioni fiscali e Piano casa non sono sempre sufficienti a rendere economicamente sostenibili le operazioni.- Il rischio è una progressiva obsolescenza immobiliare nelle aree con domanda più debole, mentre le città con infrastrutture, servizi e domanda stabile continueranno ad attrarre capitali e interventi.- Sul segmento ultra-high-net-worth emerge inoltre una crescente domanda di asset legati a sicurezza e protezione patrimoniale. In Svizzera alcune grotte e bunker della Guerra Fredda vengono offerte in leasing per 99 anni a circa 1 milione di franchi.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 10 Agosto 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Demografia, lavoro, produttività e sostenibilità del welfareTestate: Repubblica / Il FoglioLa denatalità italiana assume ormai una dimensione pienamente economica. Nel 2025 sono nati circa 355.000 bambini, contro 370.000 nel 2024, mentre i decessi sono stati circa 652.000. Il saldo naturale risulta quindi negativo per quasi 300.000 persone in un solo anno.Il numero medio di figli per donna è sceso a 1,14, molto lontano dalla soglia di sostituzione di circa 2,1. Parallelamente, una lavoratrice su cinque lascia o riduce la propria attività dopo la nascita del primo figlio e quasi il 50% delle donne teme ripercussioni professionali legate alla maternità.Il problema centrale riguarda la futura disponibilità di lavoratori. Entro il 2035 la popolazione italiana tra 15 e 64 anni potrebbe diminuire di oltre 3 milioni di persone. Guardando al 2050, la popolazione in età lavorativa potrebbe scendere da circa 37,2 milioni a meno di 30 milioni.La Banca d'Italia, secondo il dossier citato, stima che il solo declino demografico possa sottrarre circa 5% di PIL potenziale entro il 2035. Meno lavoratori significano minore capacità produttiva, maggiore scarsità di competenze e più pressione su pensioni, sanità e finanza pubblica.L'immigrazione diventa quindi parte integrante della politica economica. Nel 2025 il saldo migratorio positivo, circa 296.000 persone, avrebbe compensato quasi interamente il deficit naturale. Tra il 2019 e il 2024 l'Italia avrebbe inoltre perso circa 78.000 giovani laureati italiani, registrando contemporaneamente un saldo positivo di circa 88.000 laureati stranieri.Famiglie, risparmio, ricchezza e mercato immobiliareTestata: Il Sole 24 OreLa ricchezza mondiale continua ad aumentare, ma soltanto una parte limitata deriva da investimenti reali. Il Global Balance Sheet di McKinsey stima un patrimonio globale vicino a 1.800 trilioni di dollari, mentre la ricchezza delle famiglie raggiunge circa 570 trilioni.L'Italia dispone di un importante punto di forza: elevata ricchezza privata e basso indebitamento delle famiglie. La ricchezza netta italiana viene indicata in circa 13 trilioni di dollari, mentre la principale vulnerabilità del Paese resta concentrata sul debito pubblico.La grande sfida consiste nel trasformare una quota maggiore di questa ricchezza in capitale produttivo, infrastrutture, innovazione e proprietà intellettuale, invece di concentrarla prevalentemente in immobili e attività finanziarie.Sul fronte dei mutui, le nuove generazioni rappresentano ormai circa il 40% delle richieste totali di credito. Il Fondo Prima Casa continua a sostenere gli under 36 e l'estensione della garanzia Consap fino a 40 anni amplia ulteriormente la capacità finanziaria di chi acquista casa.§La garanzia rafforzata è stata prorogata fino al 31 dicembre 2027. Tra i parametri citati figurano un ISEE fino a 40.000 euro per gli under 36, con soglie più elevate per le famiglie numerose.Il quadro monetario torna però meno favorevole: dopo il rialzo BCE di 25 punti base di giugno, il tasso è salito al 2,25%, mentre il mercato riportato dal giornale incorporava la possibilità di ulteriori aumenti nei mesi successivi.Materie prime critiche, terre rare e sicurezza delle filiereTestata: La StampaL'Italia accelera sulla diversificazione delle materie prime strategiche puntando soprattutto sull'Australia occidentale. È prevista per ottobre la firma di un memorandum destinato a favorire accordi industriali tra imprese italiane e australiane.L'obiettivo riguarda magneti permanenti, motori elettrici, tecnologie energetiche, droni e applicazioni militari, tutti comparti nei quali l'accesso alle materie prime è diventato un fattore determinante di competitività.La concentrazione cinese rimane molto elevata. Secondo l'articolo, Pechino controlla circa il 90% della produzione mondiale di magneti permanenti ed è il principale polo di raffinazione e trasformazione delle terre rare.Nel 2024 l'Italia avrebbe importato materie prime critiche per circa 12,7 miliardi di euro, con oltre il 90% del valore relativo a materiali già raffinati. Il 54% delle importazioni proveniva da appena dieci Paesi.L'accordo con l'Australia rappresenta quindi una strategia concreta di de-risking industriale: non soltanto sicurezza delle forniture, ma possibilità per le imprese italiane di entrare nelle fasi a maggior valore aggiunto, dalla raffinazione alla componentistica.Energia, petrolio e rischio geopoliticoTestate: Repubblica / Libero / La Verità / La StampaLo Stretto di Hormuz rimane una delle principali variabili di rischio per energia e inflazione. L'Iran segnala che un'eventuale intesa con gli Stati Uniti non comporterebbe automaticamente la riapertura dello Stretto, collegando la decisione anche a sanzioni e presenza militare americana.Prima del conflitto transitavano attraverso Hormuz circa 14,8 milioni di barili di petrolio al giorno. Nell'ultimo dato riportato il volume sarebbe sceso a circa 5,3 milioni.Parallelamente aumentano i flussi sulle rotte alternative: attraverso Yanbu/Petroline si passa da circa 1,4 a 4,1 milioni di barili al giorno, mentre Fujairah sale da 1,2 a 2,1 milioni.L'Arabia Saudita valuta inoltre una nuova rotta terrestre verso Israele, attraverso un oleodotto di circa 700 chilometri capace di collegare il sistema saudita al Mediterraneo, aggirando sia Hormuz sia Bab el-Mandeb.La crisi evidenzia anche la necessità di ricostituire rapidamente le scorte militari occidentali. Il Pentagono avrebbe dato all'industria 21 giorni per predisporre piani di accelerazione delle consegne, mentre Lockheed Martin avrebbe ricevuto una commessa da 58,6 miliardi di dollari per aumentare la produzione di sistemi Patriot.Sul fronte italiano viene richiamata la possibilità di utilizzare fino a 14 miliardi di euro di flessibilità europea per interventi energetici. La sicurezza energetica entra quindi definitivamente nella politica industriale.Infrastrutture, PNRR e modernizzazione ferroviariaTestata: L'IdentitàRFI entra nella fase più intensa degli investimenti legati al PNRR, con circa 1.300 cantieri attivi ogni giorno tra grandi opere, manutenzione straordinaria e aggiornamento tecnologico.Nel 2025 Rete Ferroviaria Italiana ha realizzato investimenti per circa 11,6 miliardi di euro, confermando il ruolo delle infrastrutture ferroviarie tra i capitoli più concreti del Piano.Agosto rappresenta uno dei mesi più intensi per i lavori, con interventi sulla Verona-Vicenza, sulla nuova AV/AC Milano-Bologna, sulla Firenze-Roma e su diversi altri assi strategici.Entro il 2027 vengono indicate, tra le altre opere, l'entrata in servizio della AV/AC Brescia-Verona, l'attivazione dei primi collegamenti convenzionali dotati di ERTMS e il potenziamento di numerosi nodi ferroviari.L'obiettivo dichiarato è aumentare del 30% la quota di popolazione raggiunta dall'Alta Velocità. Digitalizzazione della rete, elettrificazione e maggiore capacità rappresentano investimenti con potenziali effetti pluridecennali sulla produttività italiana.Turismo, overtourism e capacità produttivaTestata: Il FoglioIl periodo di Ferragosto muove circa 17,4 milioni di turisti, genera oltre 78 milioni di pernottamenti e produce un impatto economico superiore a 15 miliardi di euro.Il dato conferma la forza strutturale del turismo italiano, ma evidenzia contemporaneamente una forte concentrazione stagionale. Circa il 20% delle vacanze degli italiani continua a concentrarsi nel mese di agosto.Gli hotel raggiungono quasi il 75% di occupazione, mentre circa uno su otto risulta overbooked.La concentrazione non produce soltanto overtourism, ma anche sottoutilizzo di capitale, strutture e lavoro durante il resto dell'anno.Una maggiore distribuzione delle ferie e dei flussi turistici potrebbe quindi aumentare l'utilizzo delle infrastrutture già esistenti e sostenere la crescita senza richiedere necessariamente grandi quantità di nuovo capitale.Cripto-asset, riciclaggio e regolamentazione finanziariaTestata: La VeritàBlockchain, mixer, exchange esteri e piattaforme decentralizzate hanno modificato profondamente le tecniche di riciclaggio. Le stime UNODC richiamate nel dossier indicano un valore globale potenziale compreso tra 800 e 2.000 miliardi di dollari all'anno.Per l'Italia viene richiamata un'economia sommersa di circa 200 miliardi di euro nel 2022, pari a circa il 10% del PIL, con quasi 20 miliardi direttamente riconducibili ad attività criminali.Più di 2 milioni di clienti italiani deterrebbero complessivamente circa 2 miliardi di euro in criptovalute.Il punto centrale è però che Bitcoin e le principali blockchain non sono realmente anonime: gli indirizzi sono pseudonimi, ma la cronologia delle transazioni resta pubblica e tracciabile.Il passaggio tra criptovalute e moneta tradizionale tramite intermediari regolamentati rappresenta quindi uno dei principali punti di controllo.

This was broadcast to Europe on a Sunday, but I did not record the time of transmission. I did not record the frequency, at a guess I think it would be either on the 49 or 41 metre bands.A typical DX programme of the era, comprising mainly listening tips for hobbyist listeners and radio-related news. For example there's a short mention of the then-upcoming 1985 European DX Council conference which was held in Madrid. There is also a request for news and tips from listeners and an address for reception reports. At the end there's a very plummy English station ID.This may be a bit of a hard listen for some due to intrusive QRM but I think accurately reflects the crowded bands back then, especially if your receiver didn't have a narrow filter.

This is a featured episode of the NEW No Permission Podcast hosted by Daniel. Subscribe at No Permission Podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/033nNxrnG1SI4HRqq1RUeL)********"People crave intimacy in the sense of companionship and friendship rather than romance."Carter Munk, founder and CEO of Pinned Social is on a mission to solve loneliness. This is his story as a 3x founder, never asking for permission to build.How many 3x, sub-30 year old founders do you know? Introducing Carter Munk who founded Moe's Coffee in the US – an Australian coffee brand now in 50+ locations across Canada — while still in school. Later co-founding Circa, a dating app that raised nearly $2 million, before leaving to build Pinned, a new kind of social app designed to solve the loneliness problem his generation faces despite even though they are the most digitally connected in history.The thesis behind Pinned: people don't see their friends because they don't know how to coordinate, not because they don't want to. He walks through how he validated the idea by interviewing 250 people, self-funded the early days, launched to a 12,000-person waitlist, and hit 5,000. He also gets real about outsourcing mistakes at Circa, why he has no backup plan, and the advice he'd give anyone thinking about starting something.
In October 1991, a pickup truck crashed through the front window of a Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas. What followed was one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history (at the time). In this episode, I examine the events of that tragic day, the victims whose lives were forever changed, and the lasting impact the massacre had on discussions surrounding public safety, concealed carry laws, and mass violence in the United States.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Sarah Boucher, who shares the following recordings of two ABC Melbourne radio closedowns, captured via the ABC's domestic inland shortwave relays:Recording 1Broadcaster: 3AR Melbourne (ABC)Date of recording: Circa 1950sShortwave relay: VLH-9 on 9.68 MHz (30.99 metres)Notes: This is a 3AR Melbourne closedown announcement, relayed on shortwave via VLH-9 (9.68 MHz) as part of what the announcer describes as the ABC's "Northern Australian Service." During the sign-off, 3AR identifies itself as also transmitting through the regional stations 2CO Riverina, 3GI Gippsland, and 3WV Western Victoria, alongside the VLH-9 shortwave relay. The announcer then previews the following morning's shortwave frequencies: VLR-6 (6.15 MHz), VLH-11 (11.88 MHz), and VLG-15 (15.21 MHz).The real highlight is the use of the ABC's network chimes (or "gongs") immediately before the sign-off — a once-familiar feature of ABC presentation that is rarely preserved in surviving recordings. The recording concludes with the national anthem (God Save the Queen) and a formal station closedown. 3AR Melbourne (ABC) closedown with network gongs: circa 1950s Australian Broadcasting Commission Download Recording 2Broadcaster: 3LO Melbourne (ABC)Date of recording: 23 November 1978Shortwave relay: VLR-6 on 6.15 MHz (48.78 metres)Mode: AMNotes: This 3LO Melbourne closedown, relayed on shortwave via VLR-6 (6.15 MHz), is historically significant because it captures the night of Australia's nationwide AM frequency realignment to the new 9 kHz channel spacing plan, on 23 November 1978. The announcer — identified as Don Smire — advises listeners of the frequency changes taking effect that day:Station Old frequency New frequency3LO 770 kHz 774 kHz3AR 620 kHz 621 kHz3WV 590 kHz 594 kHz3GI 830 kHz 828 kHzThe announcement also notes that the shortwave relay VLR-6 on 6.15 MHz is closing down with the network. Unlike the earlier recording, this closedown ends with Advance Australia Fair rather than God Save the Queen — reflecting the gradual transition in Australian broadcasting practice through the 1970s. 3LO Melbourne (ABC) closedown: 23 November 1978 Download A little background: what were VLH-9 and VLR-6?These callsigns belonged to the ABC's domestic inland shortwave network. Before satellite distribution and widespread FM coverage, the ABC used shortwave transmitters to relay its state radio services to remote parts of Australia. Victoria's network used the VLR, VLH, and VLG callsign families to rebroadcast Melbourne programming for listeners in rural and remote areas. Contemporary shortwave enthusiasts often refer to these collectively as the ABC's "Inland Shortwave Services."A note to readersVery little context came with these recordings, so the details above have been pieced together from the announcements themselves and what we know of ABC history. If you can add any further detail — or spot something that needs correcting — please leave a comment below. Corrections and recollections are very welcome.
