US Treasury Secretary Bessent said he will see US President Trump regarding the China tariff pause on Wednesday and some technical details remain on the China tariff pause, while the China tariff extension decision will be up to Trump and if he does not approve tariff pause extension, tariffs on Chinese goods would 'boomerang' back to April 2nd levels, or another level that he chooses.US President Trump said Chinese President Xi wants to meet and he thinks it will happen before the end of the year, while he stated that they will either approve the trade extension or not. Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Li said the US and China have agreed to extend the trade truce; Bessent said China jumped the gun a little on the 90-day pause.Crude futures surged yesterday amid comments from US President Trump who confirmed changing the deadline for Russia to reach a Ukraine ceasefire agreement to 10 days, while there were simultaneous comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent who told Chinese officials that China could face high tariffs if it continues to purchase sanctioned Russian oil due to US secondary tariff legislation.APAC stocks traded mixed following the subdued handover from Wall St; European equity futures indicate a mildly positive cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.3% after the cash market closed with gains of 0.8% on Tuesday.Looking ahead, highlights include French GDP, Spanish CPI, German GDP & Retail Sales, Italian GDP, ECB Wage Tracker, EZ GDP & Sentiment, US ADP National Employment, GDP Advance (Q2), PCE (Q2), Fed, BoC, BCB Policy Announcements Speakers including Fed Chair Powell, BoC's Macklem & Rogers, Supply from Italy, US Quarterly Treasury Refunding Announcement.Earnings from Hermes, Airbus, Vinci, Danone, Capgemini, HSBC, GSK, Aston Martin, Santander, Caixabank, Telefonica, Intesa Sanpaolo, Leonardo, Mercedes Benz, Siemens Healthineers, BASF, Adidas, Porsche AG, Meta, Microsoft, RobinHood, Carvana, Lam Research, Qualcomm, Ford, Arm, eBay, FMC, Vertiv, Altria, Kraft Heinz, GE Healthcare & VF Corp.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

La cautela asoma en las Bolsas internacionales. Toca digerir más resultados empresariales, datos económicos importantes y la decisión de la Reserva Federal. No ayuda que, tras dos días de negociaciones comerciales, no haya grandes avances entre Estados Unidos y China. El rendimiento de los bonos y el dólar tampoco experimentan grandes cambios. El mercado prevé que la Fed mantenga sin cambios los tipos de interés pese a las presiones de la Casa Blanca para reducir las tasas. Microsoft y Meta presentan resultados al cierre. Visa, Kraft Heinz y Harley Davidson son otros títulos protagonistas. Adidas, UBS y HSBC se mueven tras cuentas. En Bolsa española, también mucho número trimestral. Grifols, Solaria y Sacyr lideran las ganancias en el Ibex 35. Los valores que más recortan son Santander, Ferrovial y ACS, todas tras resultados. El análisis esta hora es de Luciana Taft, de AFI.

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: (1) Hawaii and remote parts of California’s coast are bracing for tsunamis to hit within hours, after a powerful earthquake in Russia’s Far East triggered alerts across the Pacific. (2) US President Donald Trump is set to make the final call on maintaining a tariff truce with China before it expires in two weeks, an extension that would mark a continued stabilization in ties between the world’s two biggest economies. (3) HSBC's earnings for the second-quarter fell short of expectations after it posted an increase in expenses, and took a charge on its holdings in a Chinese bank. (4) Investors parsing Jerome Powell’s remarks Wednesday for any hint that the Federal Reserve is moving closer to an interest-rate cut might be left wanting. (5) Santander posted a record second-quarter profit and announced a new buyback as Spain’s largest bank makes good on a pledge to repurchase at least €10 billion ($11.6 billion) worth of stock over two years.

The US and Japan this week reached what President Donald Trump called the largest trade deal in history after Tokyo pledged to set up a $550 billion fund for investment into the US, details of which remain obscure. The lack of clarity about how the fund will work adds to questions about the viability of the agreement, which imposes 15% tariffs on Japanese cars and other goods. While the start date and other basic elements are still unknown, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned this week that the US would monitor implementation and bump the rate up to 25% if Trump isn't satisfied. In his latest column, Bloomberg Opinion's Gearoid Reidy writes that after three months, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba finally has his trade deal. Gearoid joins us to explain why it may be Ishiba's final act. Plus - the S&P 500 inched to a new record Thursday - its 10th in 19 days - driven by tech gains that papered over a broader weakness as most stocks in the benchmark dropped. The S&P 500 has surged 28% from its April lows as investors grew optimistic that President Donald Trump's tariff war won't hurt the economy and corporate earnings as initially feared. Meantime, South Korea's trade ministry said Friday that Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reaffirmed their will to reach a mutually beneficial trade agreement before August 1st deadline. For more on the economic impact of ongoing negotiations, we heard from Janet Henry, Global Chief Economist at HSBC. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts on The Asia Trade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Earlier this year, we shared with you that we will be bringing you topical interviews with key leaders in the business world. Housed under the “Under the Radar Specials” banner, these interviews are B2B focused and are meant to drive greater conversations in the business community. Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian fulfils the promise she made by launching the first “In the Community” episode of Under the Radar Specials by looking at a corporate role that emerged only in the later half of the 20th century – the Chief of Staff. The term typically refers to a high-ranking officer or a leader in the organisation that serves as an aide to a commander. In the corporate world, a Chief of Staff is usually the bridge between the CEO charting out the strategic direction of the firm, and the teams ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day operations in the company. But what exactly is a Chief of Staff? How senior is the Chief of Staff in the corporate ladder? Why are Chiefs of Staff needed and what exactly does it take to become one? Tian Tian sought to find out the answers to these questions by speaking to two individuals, one a Chief of Staff at a venture studio, and the other, a Chief of Staff at a global banking institution – Eelee Lua, Chief of Staff, xcube.co and Geraldine Yip, Chief of Staff, HSBC Singapore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I wanted to take a look at gold today.I'm going to dust off my powers of divination — or as they call it in the City, technical analysis - and see if we can figure out where it is going next.As things got frothy back in April, I argued that the market was probably due a breather. The summer is usually gold's weakest season. Why this should be I don't know, but it is. You'll often find it makes a low in May or June, then re-tests that low in July or August, then things pick up in the autumn or fall, as our more literal cousins call it. In any case, I'm pleased to report that gold has basically range-traded, or consolidated, since the frothy days of April, between $3,500 and $3,100. The $3,000 level has more than held, which makes me wonder if we shall ever see gold with a $2,000 handle ever again. Unless there is a 2008 or Covid-style panic, I rather doubt we will.Meanwhile, the RSI (see the bottom panel below) has come off, meaning the heat has come out of the market, which is good.Since the US confiscation of Russian assets in 2022, pretty much every pull back to 50-day moving average (red line) has been bought, and they continue to be bought. The average is now flattening out, as you would expect with this summer consolidation, rather as it did late last year. Some sideways consolidation is good. Ideally, you want to see the short-, medium- and long-term moving averages all flatten and converge. There often follows a big move higher.The long-term moving averages (1 year and so on - not shown here) still have a bit of catching up to do (they are around $2,850 at the minute), which they will and fairly quickly as the gold price continues this sideways action.We also have something of a triangle forming (see blue lines) - with lower highs and higher lows. Triangles are seen as continuation patterns. In other words, whatever was the direction going into the formation will be the direction coming out. Up, that is to say. I rather think this triangle will complete just as the moving averages converge.When you look at gold against other currencies, the same process can be seen: a summer consolidation after an excellent winter and spring. If you are in any doubt as to whether you should own gold or not, let me answer that for you in the words of the former HSBC fund manager Charlie Morris, who now writes Atlas Pulse, one of the best newsletters out there - (you should subscribe it's free). “Gold should be the cornerstone of an investment portfolio,” he says. “It is remarkable how few professional investors understand this”.Charlie may have a point. Look how underweight gold western portfolios are. Below 2%. Nuts.The Trump administration is going to run enormous deficits. It is not attempting to hide the fact. The same goes for the Starmer administration in the UK. The Labour backbenchers, who now seem to control policy, will not allow reduced spending. We saw that last week. Most EU nations have not got their spending under control. It means further declines in the purchasing power of the dollar, pound and euro are inevitable. Gold is your protection. What's more, as demonstrated by the enormous buying coming out of Asia from Shanghai Cooperation Nations, China especially, it is clear gold is becoming a highly important strategic asset again. It is this buying, plus some huge options trading in China, that is driving this bull market, and it began shortly after, as I say, the seizure of Russian US dollar assets. Metals Daily's Ross Norman, whose track record forecasting the gold price is second to none, tells me: “We are confident that there is significant unreported central bank gold buying which, coupled with some pretty heady options plays from within China, accounts primarily for a near doubling in the gold price over the last 18 months or so. He goes on:The days when central banks telegraphed their moves in advance in the interest of transparency are long gone (thank you Gordon) and they are far more nuanced and opportunistic in their approach. With Asian central banks very much under-weight gold reserves, and energised by a growing debt crisis, further fuelled by the trend to reduce dollar holdings and you have a perfect set-up for a continuing gold bull run. At the moment the East invests in gold while the West divests which actually sums up the last 30 years between those hemispheres.This bull market is consolidating. It is not over. Whether it's because of de-dollarisation or your nation's deficit spending, there is demand for gold, which is going to send the price higher. It may be an analogue asset in a digital world. But you will be glad you own it. Until next time,DominicIf buying gold or silver to protect yourself in these ‘interesting' times, the bullion dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them.

Lessons from North America. With Marissa Adams, Regional Head of Europe and Americas, Global Trade Solutions and Melissa Hotzoglou, Head of Corporate Sales, US Markets and Securities Services, HSBC

Stocks closed mixed on a sluggish trading day, though the RUT showed signs of life with notable gains. Downgrades against JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), and Bank of America (BAC) from HSBC did no favors for the session.

Die Märkte versuchten, sich vom Ausverkauf am Montag zu erholen. Trump verschob erneut die Zollfrist und zeigte Flexibilität bei Verhandlungen. Dennoch verloren Dow, S&P 500 und Nasdaq leicht. Trumps Ankündigung neuer Zölle auf Importe aus über einem Dutzend Ländern – darunter Südkorea und Japan – hatte den Dow zuvor um über 400 Punkte einbrechen lassen. Einige Händler sehen jedoch Entspannung im Handelsstreit. Adam Parker von Trivariate Research sprach von einer normalen Markt-Korrektur vor der Berichtssaison. Nvidia legte 0,6 % zu, nähert sich einer Bewertung von 4 Billionen $. Auch Tesla erholte sich nach Verlusten. Großbanken dagegen schwächelten nach einer Herabstufung durch HSBC. Oppenheimer bleibt optimistisch für US-Aktien, besonders zyklische Sektoren wie Tech, Industrie und Finanzen. Man erwartet stabiles Wachstum trotz geldpolitischer Unsicherheiten.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has defied market expectations by leaving its cash rate target unchanged at 3.85 percent. Market expectations were for the central bank to cut its rate by 25 basis points. HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham this came as a surprise to experts - but the central bank opted to wait ahead of the CPI release. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wall Street stalled overnight amid a lack of investor conviction, with banks leading the declines as HSBC adopted a more cautious stance. US Treasury yields fell for a fifth straight session, while copper posted its best day since 1989 after President Trump vowed not to extend tariffs and toughened his stance on copper and drug imports. In company news, Moderna was the top performer on the S&P 500, surging 8.8%, while Amazon Prime Day spending remains in focus.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Lily and Randy speak with Faith Forster about the art of aligning product work with commercial outcomes. From redefining velocity as a function of customer value to implementing impact models that quantify ROI, Faith outlines practical frameworks to help product teams think commercially without compromising user value. She also explores the evolving role of AI in product development, the necessity of syncing planning cycles with business units, and why happy teams are the cornerstone of faster, better delivery.Key takeawaysVelocity = Value: Product velocity isn't about coding speed—it's about reducing time to customer value to improve ROI and lower opportunity cost.Impact Modelling: A disciplined approach to estimating commercial outcomes before development helps product teams understand and justify their work.AI Integration: Teams are expected to primarily use AI tools within three months to boost delivery speed and build organisational capability.Viability from Day One: Pricing and revenue potential must be considered from the outset—not after feature completion.Cross-Functional Alignment: Successful planning requires synchronising product cycles with finance, sales, and marketing calendars.Happy Teams, Better Results: Reducing friction between design, engineering, and product roles directly impacts delivery speed and feature quality.Chapters00:00 – Redefining velocity: Why speed isn't just about code01:05 – Faith's journey from Dex to Legal03:02 – Introducing the commercial value talk04:51 – Understanding the P&L from a product lens08:07 – Why team cost-awareness matters10:00 – Building better impact models12:25 – Increasing ROI through value velocity16:37 – The AI imperative: Adoption, anxiety, and accelerationOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

Transformations are hard, and too often, they fail to deliver on their promise. In this episode of The Product Experience, Lily and Randy speak with Jen Swanson, CEO of Tuckpoint Advisory Group, to unpack why transformation initiatives falter and what it truly takes to succeed.Key Takeaways— Transformation requires intentionality: Real transformation isn't accidental or surface-level; it must be deliberate, comprehensive, and backed by leadership.— Avoid ‘transformation theatre': Pretending to change—without restructuring ownership, processes, or collaboration—is worse than doing nothing at all.— Start with honest orientation: Knowing your starting point is essential before plotting a path forward.— Executive involvement is non-negotiable: Transformations can't be delegated. Leadership must model the change and communicate relentlessly.— Product-led is about mindset, not just teams: Everyone should operate within the product model, but not all need to be on product teams.— Pace matters: Organisations must assess their capacity for change and determine the right balance between ambition and sustainability.— Give grace for the learning curve: People need space to be bad at new things before they get good—psychological safety is essential.Chapters0:00 – Introduction & the myth of sneaky transformations1:01 – Jen's background and path into product2:53 – What transformation really means5:53 – Defining honest orientation8:00 – What is transformation theatre?12:09 – When real change feels fake13:04 – The importance of executive commitment16:04 – Why transformations fail19:11 – Common catalysts for transformation22:06 – Product-led vs product thinking25:00 – Who's in the opOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.
