Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday'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 market assumption that Trump's upcoming meeting with Chinese president Xi would calm trade matters seems up in the air again, with that meeting now suddenly less certain. And a Trump-Putin meeting chance is fading. As well as the Gaza truce holding. Markets are in a wait-and-see mode today. But precious metals prices are giving back some of their recent gains in sharp moves lower.But first, today's full dairy auction delivered an average price of US$3881/tonne, down -1.0% from the prior full event two weeks ago. But the key WMP price fell a sharp -4.6% as the derivatives market had signaled, while the SMP price fell -2.1%, only half the derivatives market signal. Butter and the cheeses fell, but there was a big gain for AMF. Apparently. The auction system suffered glitches so these details are interim and are subject to change.In the US, their Federal Government shutdown is getting ever more toxic, now in its third week. A key White House economic advisor said yesterday the shutdown is “likely to end sometime this week,” though warned that if it doesn't, the Trump administration may resort to “stronger measures” to pressure Democrats. There seems no resolution in sight amid the partisan standoff. Republicans are pushing for a short-term funding bill to maintain current spending levels (something they railed against when Biden was President), while Democrats insist any deal must include expanded health-care provisions, specifically an extension of Obamacare tax credits set to expire at the end of 2025. Curiously, Obamacare has its deepest hold in Republican states.In American private sector data released overnight, there was quite a dive in the Redbook retail sales data tracking for last week. As its a one-off, it is not possible to say whether this is an anomaly or an indication of some sharp retail cooling. But it is worth watching. It could well be that tariff-tax price hikes are sapping retail demand.In Canada, they got an inflation surprise. Their CPI inflation rose to 2.4% in September from 1.9% in the previous month, and higher than analyst expectations of 2.3% and the highest inflation rate since February. It was the first time inflation crossed the Bank of Canada's 2% threshold in six months. Even their core inflation rate rose more than expected. But some of this jump can be explained by base effects related to their petrol price. The Bank of Canada next reviews their policy rate next week and more than a 50/50 chance of a -25 bps cut is priced in by financial markets. That would take their policy rate to 2.25%.Across the Pacific in Taiwan, their export prowess actually gained momentum in a spectacular fashion in September. Orders for Taiwanese exports surged by more than +30% year-on-year to an all-time high exceeding US$70 bln in the month, accelerating from a 19.5% increase in the previous month and far surpassing market expectations of a +18% gain. Demand for AI products surged.In Japan, Sanae Takaichi has won the prime ministership, building a coalition with the Japan Innovation Party, and will now chase spending reforms and expansionary fiscal policies, in the style of ex-PM Shinzo Abe. The Yen weakened sharply as a result.In Argentina, despite more overt US support, the peso has fallen sharply again.In Australia, they are glowing after successful Albanese deals with the US. But now delivering meaningful rare earth production become the priority. It will likely reinvigorate an already successful mining sector. If demand from China slows, as some expect, this could keep their mining sector party going for a while longer.The UST 10yr yield is now at 3.96% and down -3 bps from this time yesterday.The price of gold will start today very sharply lower at US$4121/oz, down a massive -US$225 from yesterday, a -5.2% correction. Silver has fallen proportionately more, down to US$48.50/oz.American oil prices are +50 USc firmer at just under US$57.50/bbl, with the international Brent price now just under US$61.50/bbl. But even American plans to refill its strategic reserves with more than 1 mln barrels hasn't shifted the price.The Kiwi dollar is at just under 57.5 USc, and little-changed from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are up +20 bps at 88.4 AUc. Against the euro we are also up +20 bps at 49.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 62 and little-changed.The bitcoin price starts today at US$113,511 and up +2.7% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just over +/- 2.7%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my everyday experience being AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD). I share how trapped I feel in this body, how overwhelmed I am by my own mind, and how masking & giftedness play a role in it all. Discovery resources for you:

“You are important, you are valued, you are worthy. God created YOU with a specific plan and purpose for your life. And in order to get the best out of that, do the work, do what you need to do. Remember that you are a child of God, that you're forgiven.” —Sue Fries If you're feeling weighed down by regret, shame, or the quiet ache of loneliness, you're not alone—and you don't have to carry it by yourself. Sometimes life's hardest moments leave us questioning our worth or wondering if things can really change. But there's hope, and it starts with a little kindness toward yourself and the courage to believe you're meant for more. Sue's story is a gentle reminder that healing is possible, even when the past feels heavy. She's walked through deep pain and self-doubt, yet found her way to purpose and peace by learning to forgive, speak gentle truths over her life, and open her heart to new beginnings. This episode dives into finding purpose, breaking free from shame, the power of forgiveness, and how your words can shape your future—plus honest advice for business, faith, and personal growth.   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 03:18 Seek to Understand Than to be Understood  08:10 Why Am I Here? 16:52 From Alone Again to Alive Again  20:58 The Grace in Forgiveness 29:58 It's Okay to Prosper

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Colossians 2:6-76 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.Daniel 1:1-2King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 The Lord gave him victory over King Jehoiakim of JudahThe Lord gave Nebuchadnezzar victory???Messes with my theology. Ever feel like God is giving all the victory to your enemies?When we are rooted in him, we can trust God to strategically use bad situations to bring about profound good.He did it here, He'll do it for you.Daniel 1:3-54 “Select only strong, healthy, and good-looking young men,” he said. “Make sure they are well versed in every branch of learning, are gifted with knowledge and good judgment, and are suited to serve in the royal palace. Train these young men in the language and literature of Babylon.” 5 The king assigned them a daily ration of food and wine from his own kitchens. They were to be trained for three years, and then they would enter the royal service.Daniel 1:6-76 Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were four of the young men chosen, all from the tribe of Judah. 7 The chief of staff renamed them with these Babylonian names:Daniel (God is my judge) → Belteshazzar (Bel favors him)Hananiah (gracious is Yahweh) → Shadrach (Ishtar)Mishael (who is like Elohim) → Meshach (Marduk)Azariah (he hears Yahweh) → Abednego (Nego)-iah, yah for Yahweh. -el for Elohim.

We need to lean into them by the way we live day-to-day.To be rooted in God means to know, believe, and live out our God-given identity.Daniel 1:8-109 Now God had given the chief of staff both respect and affection for Daniel.“Both respect and affection” - this is what we call favor.Pray for us, for favorWhen we are rooted in Christ, his life flowing in us bears the fruits of respect and favor.Daniel 1:12-1612 “Please test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,” Daniel said. 13 “At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king's food. Then make your decision in light of what you see.” 14 The attendant agreed to Daniel's suggestion and tested them for ten days.15 At the end of the ten days, Daniel and his three friends looked healthier and better nourished than the young men who had been eating the food assigned by the king. 16 So after that, the attendant fed them only vegetables instead of the food and wine provided for the others.“So after that, the attendant fed them only vegetables instead of the food and wine” that was given to everyone else.If we're going to stand for Jesus through the winds and storms of life, we must be deeply rooted in Him.We won't stand for long if we don't have deep roots.The deeper our roots, the more solid we will stand.Colossians 2:6-76 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.Coming back to this - “Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught”We might have to wait on a miracle but we don't have to wait to be free.When we are deeply rooted, our loyalty to God is not determined by our circumstances.Colossians 2:88 Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.Closing, altar invitation for those who want to be set free from “empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense”Babylon: Your paycheck is enough.Jesus: I am enough.Babylon: This is too hard. You should give up.Jesus: You can do all things when your roots draw strength from me.Babylon: Your identity is in…Jesus: Your identity is in me.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin would still be deserving of keeping his job if the team still fails to win a playoff game after they draft a QB in the first round.

In this continuing series of looking at the mission, vision, and values of Autumn Ridge Church, Rick and Svea turn their attention to values five and six: 5) move toward the messes and 6) make generosity normal.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro01:48 Our mission, vision, and values (mvv) are guardrails that keep us from straying into unhealthy practices.03:42 Move toward the messes.05:23 How did Jesus model moving toward the messes?08:25 What's a common thread Jesus exhibited to work through the messes he encountered?09:42 How do we follow Jesus in moving toward the messes in a healthy and edifying way?11:00 Moving toward the messes doesn't mean we're the person who always fixes the mess.12:19 Avoiding the ditches.14:57 This value brings out the necessity of authenticity.16:37 Make generosity normal. It's not just about money.21:39 This value reminds us to slow down, see the people around us, and make ourselves approachable.25:01 These two values force us to examine ourselves and see how we're engaging with others.28:19 What would you say to those who don't feel equipped to move toward the messes or feel like they don't have enough (of whatever) to be generous?31:51 These values are an expression of following the way of Jesus.35:18 What will it look like for our church to live out these values?

Your teen's autonomy, the level to which they are allowed to make their own decisions, their ability to handle mistakes and the natural consequences from those mistakes - all of this has a huge impact on their later independence, and ability to cope as an emerging adult.Today I'm going to talk to you about how, despite your best intentions to protect your child from all the bad stuff, keep them out of trouble, make sure they're successful, that they make good choices, that they don't fall flat on their face, you could be doing just the opposite and making them more dependent on you and less able to handle life as young adult.Show Notes for other resources and sourcesTranscriptFind our FREE Parenting Guides Here"I just wanted to let you know that I'm so thankful for your podcast! ...I'm so happy I discovered it!"

In this season-six finale of the podcast, Sarah Lavonne and Justine look back on a whirlwind year at Bundle Birth, with new classes, a reboot on YouTube, and new hospital trainings. Sarah shares an “epic fail” at her first Advanced Physiologic Birth training, then explains how the mishap led her to redesign the class and refocus on meeting you where you're at, giving you the positioning training you want while also being authentic. The pair riff on systemic problems in maternity care, the power of empathy, and balancing big-picture change in the healthcare industry.*Disclaimer: To any of the nurses that were at this training or the leadership team that experienced this class, the rant at the end is not about you. It is about the system as a whole, you are amazing, and I am so impressed that you have invested in your nurse's growth like you have. ❤️ SarahSend in your question to be featured in Season 7 of the Pod!

3pm Hour: Jason talks about monologues from Stephen Colbert & Jon Stewart - would you rip your boss like that? Then he talks with national political analyst Chris Cillizza about Hunter Biden's meltdown and the President's attempts to distract his base.

In this episode, Steve and I talk about something we've both played into in our relationship - repelling energy. That vibe you give off when you're fixated on what's wrong with the other person, when you're simmering in judgment, frustration, or unmet and unvoiced expectations. And how that energy pushes away the very thing you actually want to feel with them: connection, closeness, understanding, safety.This one's for you if you're single and you're not calling in what you want, and if you're in a relationship driving the very thing you want further away due to behaviour you might not have looked at yet.If you want to feel closer, more aligned, and less at war (internally or externally), this episode is for you.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAJoin Authentic The Program - registrations open nowCoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

You don't have to earn your food or crush 60-minute classes to see results. Your body isn't broken. It just needs the right kind of support to get it back into rhythm." - Jill Allen “Cortisol is not the villain. It's our body's built-in alarm system. But when it gets stuck in the on position from too much stress, not enough rest, and the wrong input, everything feels off… So, what do you do when cortisol is in chaos? We don't panic. We don't push harder. We pause. We listen and we start small.” - Jill Allen   Check out my favorite health products HERE! and Join us for the PIVOT CHALLENGE!

This week, the guys dive into the weirdest animal behavior science has to offer—Capuchin monkeys using Howler monkeys as backpacks? Then, they tackle the latest political dumpster fires: Trump's disastrous parade, Supreme Court rulings on gender-affirming care, and whether women are actually stronger than men (spoiler: science says yes). Plus, dating disasters, Florida's unbearable heat, and why you should never trust a politician. Grab a drink and join the chaos!

Max and Matt tackle one of the trickiest parts of parenting: what to do when your partner doesn't quite nail a moment with the kids—and vice versa. From bedtime blowups to moments when one parent needs a “tap out,” they unpack how to handle these situations without throwing each other under the bus. They talk through the awkwardness of siding with your partner vs. comforting your kid, and how to navigate those moments without losing the united front. The guys get honest about apology dynamics, how to course-correct as a team, and why it's worth talking about the little things before they become big things. From real-time tension to therapy takeaways, this one dives deep into how couples can keep parenting (and marriage) strong—even when things get messy.Buy Violet Archer on Amazon HereMilkless on InstagramMilkless on TikTok

Bible Reading: Romans 8:35-37; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; 1 Peter 4:12–14Alisha ran inside the house. "There's a butterfly outside!" she exclaimed. "I got a picture on my phone. Do you want to see it?" she asked Devin, her older sister."Sure." Devin inspected the photo. "That butterfly is beautiful," she said as she cut into a mango. Alisha frowned as juice hit her phone. "That mango juice is getting everywhere."Devin shrugged as a piece of mango flew across the kitchen. "I'm trying to keep it from splashing all over the place, but mangos are messy."Alisha sat down at the counter and watched her sister. "Why eat mangos then? If they're messy, you could just not buy them." Devin popped a piece of mango into her mouth. "Because they taste really good, and I think it's worth it." She gave Alisha a smile. "It's kind of like your school problem." Alisha blinked. "Your mango is like people being mean to me at school because I believe in Jesus?" she asked doubtfully. "Kind of. Being a follower of Jesus can be messy. The Bible even tells us that--it says others might make fun of us or try to make life harder for us, like the kids at school who are mean to you. But you haven't stopped trusting in Jesus, have you?" Alisha looked shocked. "Why would I do that? He died for my sins so He could be with me all the time, and someday I'll be able to spend forever in heaven with Him."Devin smiled. "See? Knowing Jesus is worth it. Just like the mangos." She cut into a second mango. Alisha ducked so no juice would hit her. "I don't care how messy following Jesus is! Just like you don't care how messy your mango is." She thought about that for a moment. "I guess that makes sense. Kids at school make fun of me, but I know that Jesus loves me and died to save me, and that's worth whatever mean stuff people say." Alisha shrieked as a piece of mango hit her arm. "But those mangos are not worth it at all. I'm getting out of here!" –Kimberly BrokishHow About You?Has anyone ever been mean to you because you believe in Jesus?* Maybe they've called you names or said Jesus isn't real. The Bible tells us that being Christians doesn't protect us from all hardships--in fact, sometimes we will experience difficulties because we follow Jesus. But the Bible does tell us that Jesus will always love us and be with us. Take comfort in knowing that Jesus will be with you no matter what happens. He is worth any difficulties that come with following Him. *If someone is being mean to you, talk to a trusted adult so they can help.Today's Key Verse:That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (NIV) (2 Corinthians 12:10)Today's Key Thought:Hardships come when we follow Christ
