Prepare to see banking in a new light! Cindi Howson and Macquarie Bank's data trailblazer, Ashwin Sinha (Chief Data Officer), go deep into the AI revolution transforming financial services. Discover how one of Australia's most dynamic financial institutions, Macquarie Bank, is wielding the disruptive force of generative AI, not just for efficiency, but to combat high-stakes threats like fraud. Plus, discover the remarkable evolution of the data analyst from report-generator to AI-powered strategic powerhouse!Key Moments: Drivers of Digital Transformation (04:36): Ashwin outlines the key factors driving a digital transformation and early cloud adoption, emphasizing customer obsession, improving turnaround times, and ensuring technology reliability.  Leveraging Dual Cloud Providers (12:25): Ashwin discusses Macquarie Bank's use of AWS for infrastructure and core applications and Google Cloud (GCP) for its digital and data stack, including AI capabilities.  The Power of Gen AI in Analytics (14:16): Ashwin explores the role of generative AI in enhancing productivity for data analysts, particularly through prompt engineering and tools like ThoughtSpot.  Empowering Analysts Through Evolution (16:56): Ashwin details Macquarie Bank's successful strategy for evolving the data analyst role by proactively introducing self-service analytics, emphasizing upskilling, and enabling analysts to concentrate on higher-impact activitiesCombating Data Risk and Fraud Prevention (26:04): Ashwin discusses the increasing threat of scams and fraud and details Macquarie's two-pronged approach: educating customers and employing AI and machine learning to detect and prevent fraudulent activities.  Importance of Prompt Engineering (32:57): Ashwin stresses the significance of prompt engineering as a general-purpose technology that can drive productivity across various business functions, not just within technical roles.  Key Quotes:"There is always a big backlog in most organizations, which you cannot get done just because you do not have enough capacity. You cannot prioritize them. You cannot execute fast enough. And so, what prompt engineering and GenAI broadly does is take away the low-value tasks that you could just use AI and machine learning to do for you." - Ashwin Sinha"Prompt engineering—even though it has 'engineering' in it— I see that as a general-purpose technology. It's a bit like we've just got access to a super powerful search with a lot more analytical and reasoning capability. That's how I think of the usage of any of the foundational or large language models for, you know, the general population who are not in engineering or technical roles. Whether they're in business roles, sales and distribution, finance, marketing, or any of those functions, the use of prompt engineering just enables the next level of productivity for them. - Ashwin SinhaMentionsPrompt Engineering in the Age of AIAI Agent GovernanceThoughtSpot Spotter: Your AI AnalystScuba Diving and the History of the Liberty Shipwreck in BaliThe Importance of Child Education in IndiaGuest Bio Ashwin Sinha is the Chief Data Officer and Executive Director at Macquarie Bank, where he oversees the strategy and execution of Data and AI.

ASIC targets Macquarie Bank for significant compliance failures and failing to block suspicious trades, China cuts rates to pump its economy. Plus, how will President Trump react as the US Fed is forecast to hold rates tomorrow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the global economy's track is no clearer today.First up, the US central bank kept it key policy rate unchanged at 4.50% for a third consecutive meeting in line with expectations. They are keeping their wait-and-see approach but watching to see if the tariff taxes drive up inflation and slow economic growth. They say they still see expanded economic activity despite signs net exports are volatile. So far they haven't seen the jobless rate move "and labour market conditions remain solid". But they are seeing elevated inflation, and they foresee risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation.Equity markets dropped on the release, as did benchmark bond yields. The USD hardly moved however.Earlier, it was reported that US mortgage application volumes jumped +11% last week from the previous week, ending the three consecutive slumps from earlier in the month. The rebound came after there was another small drop in benchmark mortgage rates.Across the Pacific, China's FX reserves rose in April to their highest level in more than six months (in USD).And staying in China, their central bank said it will cut the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by -50 basis points, injecting about ¥1 tln in liquidity into their domestic economy. But the cut won't come until May 15 and will then be the first RRR cut in 2025. They also said they will lower the rate on seven-day reverse repurchase agreements by 10 basis points to 1.40%, effective tomorrow, Thursday, May 8. This is the first cut to this key policy rate since September 2024 and could lead to cuts in market and other regulatory rates.And despite denials on both sides, both China and the US said they will meet in Switzerland to discuss stuff on Saturday. Interestingly, the Chinese side will be represented by their lead person for China-US economic and trade affairs, but the US side won't be led by its USTR, but the more senior Treasury Secretary.In the EU there were no surprises in their March retail sales volume data, holding flat again.However, there was positive data out of Germany, where factory orders rose +3.6% in March from February, well above market expectations of a +1.3% gain and putting behind it February's lackluster result. It was their strongest increase since December, with broad-based gains across sectors.Meanwhile, Poland cut its official interest rate by -50 bps to 5.25%. Falling inflation and weak economic activity prompted the move, but it was unusual because they have elections due on May 18 and they are battling Russian election interference.In Australia, regulator ASIC said it has imposed additional conditions on Macquarie Bank's Australian financial services licence after multiple and significant compliance failures – some going undetected for many years and one for a decade.And it seems Peter Dutton wasn't the only party leader to lose his seat at the weekend election. The Greens leader will too. In fact, like the Liberals, the Greens vote fell rather sharply at that election.Separately, the OECD said the global trade in fake goods reached almost US$½ tln in the latest data they have - which is for 2021, posing risks to consumer safety and compromising intellectual property. The breakdown in trade cooperation since won't have lessened the problem.The UST 10yr yield was at 4.28%, down -3 bps from this time yesterday before the US Fed announcement, then slipped slightly further to 4.27%.The price of gold will start today at US$3384/oz, and down -US30 from yesterday.Oil prices are firmer today, down -50 USc at just on US$58.50/bbl in the US and the international Brent price is now just under US$61.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 59.7 USc, down -30 bps from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 92½ AUc. Against the euro we are down -20 bps at 52.6 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just on 67.8 and down -20 bps.The bitcoin price starts today at US$96,653 and up +2.2% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at +/- 1.6%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Interview with David Reeves, MD of Calidus Resources Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/calidus-resources-cai-23m-growth-capital-to-deliver-130000oz-3120-95632Recording date: 25th March 2024Calidus Resources, an emerging gold producer operating in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, has recently taken significant steps to strengthen its financial position and pave the way for substantial near-term production growth. Calidus has completed a $16.5 million capital raise to further bolster its balance sheet, as the company has restructured its financing arrangement with Macquarie Bank, freeing up approximately $31 million in cash flow this year. The financing restructure involved rolling 21,000 ounces of hedged gold production into the future and deferring $10 million in debt amortization payments. These measures are expected to provide Calidus with the financial flexibility needed to deliver on its growth objectives. Managing Director David Reeves emphasized the importance of this restructuring, stating that the company's hedge deliveries were the single biggest impediment to its cash flow generation.Alongside the financial restructuring, Calidus has made notable operational improvements at its flagship Warrawoona Gold Project. With the completion of major cutbacks, the company is now accessing higher-grade ore from the main Klondyke orebody, leading to record gold recoveries in recent weeks. The combination of increased production, lower mining costs, and higher feed grades is expected to drive significant quarter-on-quarter cash flow growth.Looking ahead, Calidus has a pipeline of high-grade growth projects that underpin its medium-term production target of 120,000 ounces per year within the next three years. The recently acquired Nullagine project, which hosts a historic resource of 1.4 million ounces, presents a near-term opportunity to boost production. The company is evaluating options to either truck ore from Nullagine to its Warrawoona plant or restart the existing 1.8 Mtpa processing facility at Nullagine.Other key growth projects include the high-grade Blue Spec satellite pit, the over 4 g/t Bulletin underground deposit, and Marble Bar discoveries. With its financial constraints addressed and a clear path to production growth, Calidus appears well-positioned to capitalize on the strong outlook for the Australian gold sector.The investment thesis for Calidus Resources centers on its enhanced financial flexibility, record operational performance, and robust pipeline of organic growth projects. As the company continues to deliver on its production and cash flow growth targets, it offers investors exposure to an emerging mid-tier Australian gold producer with a significantly de-risked investment proposition.View Calidus Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/calidus-resources-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
