Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Bond investors got a respite in Asian trading from a bruising selloff after surging oil prices and mounting bets on further Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes drove Treasury yields to multi-year highs. Asian stocks fell. The US 10-year yield held at 5.23% after climbing as much as 11 basis points Monday to the highest since 2007. Two- and 30-year yields were steady as traders braced for the Fed to keep tightening policy to rein in inflation. We speak to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets. And - Climbing oil prices, stronger US business activity and concerns over elevated government debt have fueled the biggest Treasury selloff since President Donald Trump's April 2025 tariff rollout.

Investing can feel overwhelming. With countless funds, strategies, market forecasts, and opinions competing for attention, it's easy to assume that successful investing requires constant analysis and a complicated portfolio.But it doesn't have to.For decades, Sound Mind Investing has offered an indexing strategy called Just-the-Basics, designed around simplicity, diversification, and minimal maintenance. According to Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, a straightforward indexing approach can also work alongside more active investment strategies.The key may not be choosing between active investing and indexing, but understanding how both can fit in a well-designed portfolio.How Index Investing WorksIndex investing begins with a simple idea: rather than trying to beat the market, investors seek to earn approximately the market's return.They typically accomplish this through low-cost index funds that track a particular market benchmark. Because these funds generally require less active management, their expenses tend to be lower than those of actively managed funds.Over time, those lower costs can be significant. “Indexing is based on the idea that an investor is going to give up trying to beat the market in favor of just earning the market's return,” Biller explains.Sound Mind Investing's Just-the-Basics strategy takes that concept and keeps it intentionally simple. It uses three stock index funds and, when appropriate for the investor's asset allocation, a bond index fund.Once established, the strategy requires relatively little maintenance—typically an annual portfolio rebalance. That simplicity can make indexing especially appealing to investors who don't want to continually monitor markets or make frequent investment decisions.Active Investing or Indexing? Why Not Both?Investors sometimes treat active management and indexing as competing philosophies. Either you try to outperform the market, or you simply track it.SMI takes a different approach. Although the organization may be better known for its active strategies, Just-the-Basics was actually the first investing strategy introduced in the SMI newsletter more than three decades ago.Rather than viewing active investing and indexing as an either-or decision, Biller suggests thinking in terms of both-and.That approach can be particularly useful for investors whose workplace retirement plans offer mostly index funds. For example, an investor might use low-cost index funds inside a 401(k) while employing active strategies elsewhere in the portfolio.Combining the two can create another layer of diversification without requiring every investment account to follow the same approach.Why Use More Than One Stock Index Fund?If simplicity is the goal, why not simply purchase a total stock market index fund?That would certainly be easy. But SMI has historically used three separate stock index funds instead. There are practical reasons for that.When Just-the-Basics was first introduced, total stock market index funds were not yet widely available. More importantly, many workplace retirement plans still do not offer a true total-market option.Most plans, however, offer something similar to an S&P 500 index fund that tracks large U.S. companies. They may also offer a small-company fund and an international fund. Using several index funds makes it possible to build broader diversification even when a total-market fund isn't available.Otherwise, investors who substitute an S&P 500 fund for a total-market fund could end up concentrated primarily in large U.S. companies.That concentration has worked especially well for much of the past 15 years, but recent performance does not necessarily predict future performance.Why Diversification Still MattersThe dominance of large U.S. companies in recent years has raised questions about whether investors still need meaningful exposure to smaller companies and international markets.SMI believes they do, although the organization has adjusted its allocations over time. The challenge is determining how much weight investors should place on recent history compared with longer-term market patterns.Large-company stocks have been exceptionally strong during the past 15 years. But when SMI examined a longer 30-year period, the picture became more complicated.Large companies slightly outperformed smaller and mid-sized companies over the full period. But when those 30 years were divided into two 15-year segments, the leadership changed. The more recent period favored large companies, while the earlier period favored the broader extended market.That serves as an important reminder: market leadership can change.Diversification means accepting that not every part of your portfolio will be the top performer at the same time. The goal is not necessarily to own only what has recently performed best, but to build a portfolio prepared for different market environments.What About International Stocks?International stocks present perhaps the more difficult diversification question.Foreign stocks have significantly lagged U.S. stocks over much of the past few decades. That has caused some investors to wonder whether international exposure is still necessary.Biller points to the concept of mean reversion—the tendency for an asset class that has significantly underperformed over a long period eventually to improve, while an asset class that has experienced exceptional performance may eventually cool.Historically, U.S. and international stocks have alternated leadership over extended periods.SMI has therefore maintained some international exposure while reducing its allocation. The Just-the-Basics strategy previously devoted 20% of its stock allocation to foreign investments; it has since reduced that figure to 10%.The goal isn't to assume that history will repeat itself perfectly. Instead, it's to maintain some diversification while acknowledging the changing structure of global markets. And because the strategy is simple, investors can adjust those percentages based on their own situation and investment philosophy.Indexing Can Help Investors Emotionally, TooDiversification isn't only about mathematics. It can also influence investor behavior.Active investing inevitably produces periods when a strategy trails the broader market. During those times, investors may become frustrated and begin questioning their approach.Biller describes a common temptation: when an active strategy underperforms, investors may think, “I should have just bought the index.”Holding some indexed investments can reduce that all-or-nothing feeling. Part of the portfolio simply tracks the broader market while another portion follows an active strategy. That can make it psychologically easier to remain disciplined when one approach temporarily falls behind another.And investor behavior matters. Even a sound strategy can fail to produce its intended results if an investor repeatedly abandons it based on short-term performance.What Could a Simple Index Portfolio Look Like?For investors interested in a basic indexing approach, the structure does not have to be complicated. The Just-the-Basics stock allocation is approximately:60% large U.S. companies30% smaller U.S. companies10% international companiesDepending on an investor's age, goals, risk tolerance, and overall financial situation, investors can also incorporate bonds into the portfolio. The exact percentages are less important than the underlying principle: build a diversified allocation you understand and can maintain consistently.For many investors, similar funds may already be available inside their workplace retirement plan.Simple Can Still Be WiseInvesting does not need to become a full-time job.Active strategies may make sense in some situations. Other times, simply owning diversified, low-cost index funds is entirely appropriate. For many investors, the right answer may include elements of both.What matters is having a thoughtful plan rather than constantly reacting to whatever has recently performed best.As stewards of what God has entrusted to us, our goal isn't to make investing unnecessarily complicated. It's to make wise, informed decisions with patience, discipline, and an appropriate understanding of risk.A simple, diversified investment strategy that you understand—and are prepared to stick with—can go a long way toward accomplishing that goal.

A federal judge has blocked an Ohio law requiring people to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and the state plans to appeal. The requirement, which took effect in 2025, applies to in-person registration at the BMV but not online registration. It remains on hold as the appeal moves forward, with another ruling possible before Ohio's voter registration deadline Oct. 5. Cleveland Public Library and its staff union have finalized a new three-year collective bargaining agreement. The contract, approved by union members Wednesday and the library's board Thursday, provides an average 15% wage increase, including a 5% retroactive increase, as well as paid parental leave. Union officials said the agreement represents significant gains, but trust between workers and library leadership remains an issue. Cuyahoga County departments have been asked to cut expenses to help close two budget gaps totaling $37.2 million. Most departments must propose 3.3% reductions, while about 14 offices funded by the Health and Human Services levy face 8% cuts to address an $18 million shortfall. The reductions come as the county's general fund faces a separate $19.2 million deficit despite revenues coming in above projections. Departments must submit proposed cuts by mid-September. Gov.

Risk is unavoidable in investing—and in life. But not all risks deserve equal attention. It is easy to focus primarily on the probability that something will happen. If an investment, career move, or financial strategy has a high likelihood of succeeding, we may assume it is a good decision. But Mark Biller, Executive Editor at Sound Mind Investing, suggests another question may be even more important: If things go wrong, how wrong could they go? That shift—from focusing on probabilities to considering consequences—can help us make wiser financial decisions and protect ourselves from risks that could permanently derail our plans. A Small Probability Can Carry a Huge Consequence Suppose someone told you there was a 99% chance an opportunity would succeed. Those odds sound compelling. But what if the remaining 1% chance of failure meant complete financial ruin? Suddenly, the decision looks very different. A simple illustration is crossing a busy street. The probability of being hit by a vehicle may be relatively small, but we still look both ways because the potential consequence is catastrophic. A low probability does not make a severe consequence irrelevant. The same principle applies to investing. An outcome may be statistically unlikely, but if it could wipe out your savings, destroy your retirement plan, or leave you unable to meet your obligations, it deserves serious consideration. Financial thinker Peter Bernstein summarized the principle well: the consequences of being wrong can matter more than the probabilities of being right. That leads to two important questions: If this goes wrong, how wrong could it go?  And how much would it matter? Why Humility Matters in Investing Financial history offers plenty of reminders that even highly intelligent investors cannot anticipate every outcome. One famous example is the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management in 1998. The hedge fund was run by some of the brightest minds in finance and relied on sophisticated mathematical models. Those models worked under most circumstances—but a combination of leverage and extraordinary market conditions caused enormous losses. The lesson is not that investors should avoid risk altogether. Risk is part of investing. Rather, wise investors recognize the limits of their knowledge. We cannot predict every market decline, economic shock, or unexpected life event. That reality should lead us toward humility and encourage us to build financial plans with room for error. Build a Margin of Safety One practical way to prepare for uncertainty is to maintain a margin of safety. That begins before investing. A strong financial foundation includes reducing burdensome debt and establishing adequate emergency savings. Then, as you invest, diversification can help reduce the danger of concentrated bets, while avoiding excessive leverage can protect against losses that permanently impair your financial position. The goal is not to eliminate every possible risk. That would be impossible. Instead, margin allows your plan to survive when circumstances do not unfold as expected. Biblical wisdom encourages this kind of prudence. Proverbs 22:3 says: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” Wise stewardship does not require us to live fearfully. But it does call us to recognize potential danger and prepare appropriately. Your Emergency Fund Protects More Than Emergencies An emergency fund may seem separate from an investment portfolio, but the two are closely connected. Think of investing like climbing a ladder. Before climbing higher, you want to make sure the ladder is resting on firm ground. Emergency savings provide that foundation. Unexpected expenses are inevitable. A furnace fails. A vehicle needs replacing sooner than expected. A major repair suddenly becomes necessary. Without adequate savings, those expenses may force you to sell investments at exactly the wrong time—perhaps when the market is down significantly. What began as an ordinary household expense can then cause lasting damage to a long-term investment plan. An emergency fund creates financial breathing room so temporary problems do not become permanent setbacks. Protecting Retirees From Sequence-of-Returns Risk Consequences become especially important as retirement approaches. One risk retirees face is known as sequence-of-returns risk. This occurs when significant investment losses happen early in retirement while a retiree is simultaneously withdrawing money from the portfolio. Two retirees could experience similar average investment returns over several decades but have very different outcomes depending on when the losses occur. A steep market decline early in retirement can be particularly damaging because withdrawals compound those losses. Even strong returns later may not fully repair the damage. Diversification can help manage this risk. Some retirees also choose to keep several years of anticipated spending in cash or relatively low-risk investments so they are less likely to sell stocks during a severe market downturn. The appropriate strategy will vary by household, but the principle remains the same: consider not only what is likely to happen, but what would happen to your plan if difficult circumstances arrived at an inconvenient time. How Much Risk Can You Afford? Risk tolerance is often discussed in terms of emotion: How comfortable are you when markets fall? That matters, but consequence-based thinking adds another dimension. Ask what would happen if an investment or strategy failed. Would the loss merely be disappointing? Or would it prevent you from retiring, eliminate your emergency reserves, jeopardize your home, or keep you awake at night? If a negative outcome would derail your financial goals, you may be taking more risk than you can afford—even if the probability of success appears high. On the other hand, if you can absorb the downside without seriously damaging your financial plan, then probability can play a larger role in the decision. This framework also guards against becoming too conservative. Avoiding stocks entirely in retirement may reduce short-term market volatility, for example, but it introduces another potential consequence: a portfolio may fail to keep pace with inflation over a retirement that lasts several decades. Wise risk management considers both sides. Stewardship Leaves Room for the Unexpected We cannot know exactly what markets, inflation, interest rates, or the economy will do next. And Scripture never promises that careful planning will remove uncertainty from our lives. Our confidence ultimately rests somewhere deeper. As Christians, we believe God is sovereign and that our ultimate security is found in Christ—not in the performance of our portfolios. That frees us to approach financial decisions with both wisdom and humility. We can plan carefully without pretending we know the future. We can prepare for risk without being ruled by fear. And we can leave margin in our finances because we recognize our own limitations. The goal is not to predict every possible outcome. It is to build a financial life capable of enduring when some of our predictions inevitably prove wrong. Before taking a significant financial risk, don't simply ask, “What are the odds that this will work?” Ask one more question: “If it doesn't, can my financial plan withstand the consequences?” That question may be one of the most valuable safeguards a wise steward can use. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My son and daughter-in-law have a car loan with a payment over $900 a month and likely a very high interest rate because of poor credit. Are there any options to refinance, reduce the rate, or lower the payment? I'll reach full retirement age later this year and plan to keep working. Should I start Social Security then so I can save, invest, and give more, or delay benefits to receive a larger amount later?

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian bonds followed Treasuries lower as concerns over government finances mounted, while higher oil prices added to fears that inflation will quicken. Treasury 30-year yields rose to 5.32%, a level last seen in June 2007. Oil prices advanced as prospects for peace in the Middle East dimmed, reviving concern that prolonged geopolitical tensions will threaten supplies and keep energy costs elevated. Global benchmark Brent rose 0.3% to $91.10 a barrel after President Donald Trump said he wasn't interested in extending the expiring agreement with Iran and fighting flared anew in Lebanon. Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets Paul Dobson breaks down the markets. Plus - in earnings news, BHP Group's full-year profit rose by almost a third, thanks to improved copper and iron ore prices that helped the world's largest miner beat forecasts, just as new boss Brandon Craig takes the helm. Craig, who started as chief executive officer in July, is focused on delivering a major pipeline of growth including expansions in South American and Australian copper — as well as its push into potash, a mineral used in fertilizer. BHP says it is targeting 3% to 4% copper equivalent growth per year up to 2035 — roughly double consensus expectations.

Last week, we talked about ‘New research shows…' headlines, and how the media commodifies science into clickbait. This week, it's part two of that episode, looking at bad social science. Because this issue is not just about influencers selling us bogus diets and face creams. There's also think tanks selling us bogus research on highly political topics: like abortion, immigration, or fossil fuels. Their funding is highly opaque, but if you trace the money, it tells a terrifying story about who shapes the truth in our information economy. Joining us this week is Peter Jukes, the co-founder and Executive Editor of Byline Times, who has written on the Murdoch empire, Russian influence, and "dark money" in politics – and exposed many a think tank scandal. We talk about the bad think tanks based at 55 Tufton Street, how media narratives about immigration and climate change were meticulously planned and peddled, and how we as news consumers can change the narrative.

I'm also an avid hiker, a mom of two, and a lifelong Midwest resident. While working as a journalist for the last 25 years, I've gone through a lot of upheavals in the industry. But I learned that always means new opportunities — if you're willing to assume some risk. That's never been a problem for me. As the CEO and Executive Editor of Lincoln Square, I run one of the fastest-growing independent political publications in the nation. Each week, I host two shows, The Weekly Assignment, where we discuss the latest headlines and what we can do to fight back against authoritarianism, and First Draft, where I talk to journalists and authors about their important work and the stories behind them. As an expert on Michigan and national politics, I've also appeared on C-SPAN, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, NewsNation, the Australian Broadcast Corporation, Sky News, Jyllands-Posten (Danish TV), WKAR-TV's Off the Record and more. Previously, I was the founding Editor-in-Chief of the nonprofit Michigan Advance for over six years. I also served for five years as the Editor and Publisher of Inside Michigan Politics, the most-cited political newsletter in the state. And in a past life, I worked as a Democratic campaign strategist during the 2018 campaign cycle (which was a pretty darn good year for the party). My award-winning political analysis has run in more than 150 national, international and regional media outlets, including the Guardian U.K., NBC News, The New York Times, The Washington Post, RealClearPolitics, Salon, HuffPost, and The Detroit News. And you'll find me trekking in the mountains whenever I can break away. Why I Write Writer. Entrepreneur. Mother. Public Speaker. Political Analyst. Those are all just words to describe me. What you need to know, most of all, is what drives me to fulfill those roles. I've wanted to be a writer since I was seven, scribbling down observations about people and events in ratty spiral notebooks. My mother always told me that my unique ability to understand people and feel what they were going through was both a gift and a curse. I struggled for many years to make ends meet, especially before my first child was born. I wondered if I'd ever be able to contribute anything of value, something to make the world a better place. I found my calling in journalism, honing my craft for the last 25 years. Being a writer has always been who I am. But now it's also what I do. I have an insatiable curiosity to investigate what's going on in America and the world. I believe in speaking truth to power and following Mencken's rule to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." I've taken on the Old Boys Club in politics (and political journalism) and won, always preserving my integrity. All this has given me a distinctive voice and fearless style to communicate with people why things are happening and what can be done.

After more than a full year of delay at the legislature, North Carolina finally has a new state budget and as is almost always the case, what the new budget does and doesn't do for public education is among the matters receiving the most attention. The good news is that a lot of teachers will get some decent raises this fall. Unfortunately, the bad news is that those raises don't apply to all teachers or school personnel. What's more, thanks to inflation and the rising cost of health insurance premiums, most teachers remain stuck in the mud financially or even worse off than they were just a couple of years ago. So, what should we make of this situation? Are lawmakers making encouraging strides in lifting up our public schools or is the new budget just the latest in a series of inadequate measures. Newsline caught up with the veteran executive editor of the nonprofit group Public Ed Works, David Rice, to learn more.

Hartosh, who has reported on Punjab for years, is also the nephew of KPS Gill – the highly controversial officer who helmed the state police at the height of militancy. This was the very force that Jaswant Singh Khalra, the central figure of the film, was investigating, and whose actions ultimately led to Khalra's killing in custody.Check out previous Hafta recommendations, references, songs and letters.

John tackles the ongoing mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell's health and the implications it has on the Senate. The lack of transparency regarding McConnell's condition raises crucial questions about political accountability and the public's right to know about their representatives. Then, he discusses the Trump Meme Coin—a cryptocurrency venture that has left many investors reeling. With reports indicating that nearly a million buyers lost huge amounts of money, he argues that Trump's business model resembles a "pump and dump" scheme, where he profits regardless of the coin's performance, leaving his supporters in financial ruin. Then, John interviews the CEO and Executive Editor of Lincoln Square - Susan J. Demas. They talk about the political turmoil surrounding Graham Platner, the Maine Senate candidate who has found himself at the center of controversy due to sexual assault allegations. He discusses the mixed reactions from the public, with some expressing outrage while others feel relief at potentially dodging a bullet. Next, he speaks with author and political strategist Blake Ashby about his new book "Socialism and the Democratic Party: The Case for a Return to Moderated Capitalism".
