Die US-Börsen starten verhalten in den Tag: S&P-Futures gaben 0,1 % nach, der Nasdaq bewegte sich kaum, und der Dow verlor knapp 30 Punkte. Im Fokus steht die Fed, die am Abend ihre Zinsentscheidung bekanntgibt. Erwartet wird mit 96 % Wahrscheinlichkeit eine Senkung um 25 Basispunkte – ein halber Prozentpunkt gilt als sehr unwahrscheinlich. Analysten wie Paul McCulley von Pimco sehen in einem vorsichtigen Schritt das wahrscheinlichste Szenario. Belastend wirkte eine Meldung aus China: Peking soll heimischen Tech-Firmen den Kauf von Nvidia-Chips untersagt haben, die Aktie fiel vorbörslich über 1,3 %. Auch vom US-Immobilienmarkt kamen schwache Daten: Baugenehmigungen und Baubeginne lagen im August deutlich unter den Erwartungen. Damit richten sich alle Augen auf Jerome Powell und den „Dot Plot“ – also die neuen Zinsprognosen der Notenbank für das kommende Jahr.

Jeff Clark, head of defined contribution research at Vanguard, says the firm's latest "How America Saves" report for 2025 shows that consumers are doing a better job of setting money aside for their future, helped by rules that have made it easier for employers to help. The average total savings rate — including both worker contributions plus employer contributions — is now up to 12 percent, a potential target for all investors to try to achieve. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, turns to the first active bond ETF — a 15-year-old iconic fund from PIMCO — as an ultra-safe alternative to cash with his "ETF of the Week." In the Market Call, Jed Ellerbroek, portfolio manager for Argent Capital and the Argent Large Cap ETF — which launched just as the market was bottoming out after the tariff announcements in April — discusses looking for enduring business models. Plus, Chuck talks about the Federal Reserve and why its independence is so important to the long-term functioning of the economy and the ability to keep inflation controlled.
VettaFi's Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth discussed the PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Active ETF (MINT) on this week's “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe of “Money Life.” Why should you attend Exchange?

It's been a dramatic week for Irish artists, activism and the UK's terrorism law. Sally Rooney — one of Ireland's most prominent literary voices — has made headlines for her vocal support of Palestine Action, a group recently designated a terrorist organisation by the UK government. The Normal People author has pledged to donate earnings from her books and BBC adaptations to the group — a move that could place her at risk of arrest under UK anti-terror legislation. Her stance came in the same week that Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh appeared in a London court on terrorism charges, accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah. Meanwhile, back home, another protest is gathering momentum — this time in the world of sport. A letter signed by around 800 GAA players — including stars from football, hurling and camogie — was delivered to Croke Park, calling on the association to cut ties with Allianz, one of its biggest sponsors. The call comes after a UN special rapporteur's report named Allianz, through its asset-management arm Pimco, as a significant buyer of Israeli government bonds. On today's Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by TRT World presenter Enda Brady and Conor McKeon, sports journalist with the Irish Independent, to look at the high-profile costs and consequences of speaking out on Israel and Palestine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our memories—and sometimes our parents'—shape how we invest, often more than logic or data. Don and Tom break down how generational financial trauma, recent market trends, and asset class myths (like gold and U.S.-only investing) skew our thinking.
