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 markets now universally expect the American central bank to cut rates tomorrow by -25 bps.But today, the overnight dairy auction brought a much better result than expected with the declines for both WMP and SMP nowhere near as sharp as indicated by the earlier derivatives pricing. That will very much ease the pressure on any farm gate payout forecasts. The detail is interesting. There was notably softer demand from China for WMP, but that was countered by stronger SE Asian demand. Cheddar cheese prices rose because of some unexpected demand from North America, But mozzarella prices dived -9.6% on weak Chinese demand. Overall prices slipped just -0.8% in USD, but there were down a sharpish -2.9% in NZD as the greenback took a tumble overnight.Meanwhile, US retail sales rose in August and by a little more than expected. They were up +5.0% after a +4.1% rise in July. But this data is not inflation-adjusted in the way that other countries report. We will have to wait for sales volume data later in the month.And US industrial production rose in August too, but only up +0.1% from the prior month and only after a -0.4% revised fall in July. Year-on-year it is up +0.9%, about average for 2025, but hardly evidence of manufacturing reshoring.Homebuilder sentiment was flat in August as reported by the NAHB survey. It is remaining at the very low levels we have seen since May, and very much lower than this time last year. They are pinning their hopes on Fed rate cut(s) delivering a changed outlook.And staying in the US, crypto giant Binance looks like its lobbying and support of Trump will see the US Justice Department drop a key oversight requirement in its US$4.3 bln settlement of allegations that it didn't do enough to prevent money laundering. So, pay the money, get no oversight, and go back to enabling money laundering. A real Trump-type deal.Meanwhile, Canadian CPI inflation rose from 1.7% in July to 1.9% in August, a lesser rise than was anticipated. Meanwhile there was a rather sharp fall in housing starts there in August, down -16% from July to 245,791 units from a revised 293,537 in July and well below market expectations of 277,500. But they were still +10% higher than year-ago levels. A rate cut is coming in Canada tomorrow too.In China, there are some signs that Beijing's stimulus could be working. Steel output not only stopped falling, it actually picked up in the first two weeks of September, defying downbeat expectations. And iron ore prices rose too recently.In the EU, industrial production rose more than anticipated in July, although the expectations aren't high.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.03%, down -1 bp from yesterday at this time. The price of gold will start today at US$3,686/oz, up +US$7 from yesterday.American oil prices are up +US$1 at just over US$64.50/bbl, with the international Brent price firmish just over US$68.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at just on 59.9 USc and up +20 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 89.6 AUc. Against the euro we are down -20 bps at 50.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 66.7, little-changed from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$116,480 and up +1.3% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has again been low at just under +/- 0.8%.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.

In January of this year, Chinese actor Wang Xing went viral after being kidnapped in Thailand having travelled for what he thought was a job opportunity, only to be rescued after his girlfriend made a post begging for the authorities to help. After a 4 day ordeal, Wang made a dramatic TV appearance alongside Thai police, with his head shaved but otherwise seemingly unscathed.Wang's case shed light on an issue that had been getting little coverage in the national press. To date, over 3,000 Chinese nationals are being held in scam compounds in Southeast Asian nations like Cambodia and Laos, many of them run by other Chinese nationals. What caused the rise of these scam centres? How do they target Chinese white collar workers? Why is the Chinese government not doing anything to shut these operations down?Let's explore the world of sprawling forced labour compounds in Southeast Asia, their ties to local governments and police, and how they're getting rich in crypto scams targeting pensioners in pig-butchering schemes around the world.Chapters (00:00) Introduction(04:00) The rise of scams around the world(06:09) SE Asian scam centres and their targets(21:45) The rise of the scam centres and pig-butchering scams(33:00) No justice, no peace of mindLatest Substack post: https://sinobabble.substack.com/p/i-asked-4-china-experts-4-questions?r=bgkuvSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

Countries including Italy, Ireland and France want the EU to fast-track negotiations with the Trump administration to avoid US tariffs. The ASEAN group of SE Asian nations meets with China and the Gulf Cooperation Council in a bid to hedge against growing trade uncertainty. And, France makes arrests after a series of violent kidnapping aimed at extorting cryptocurrency moguls.

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday the 9th of December. On today's show: Excerpt from 3CR's 12 hour broadcast on Tuesday the 3rd of December, aka International Disability Day. This year's theme was embodied solidarities, inviting reflection on how disabled people can practice better solidarity with one another across diffewrent abilities and backgrounds, locally and across borders, in a time where mass-disabling violence is increasing. The theme also calls for reflection on how non-disabled people can improve solidarity with disabled people. As part of that broadcast, Pauline Vetuna spoke with El Gibbs about the anticapitalist roots of the social model of disability, disability doulas, the expertise of disabled people regarding care, patriarchal devaluing of the gendered care economy, and strategies for collective organising past, present and future. El Gibbs is a disabled person living on Wiradjuri Country, and is the deputy CEO of Disability Advocacy Network Australia. You can listen to more of 3CR's dedicated Disability Day 2024 content at https://www.3cr.org.au/disabilityday2024. We then hear An excerpt from last week's Done By Law show in which Jimi and Britt chat with Rosie Heselev from About Time Media, who publish a newspaper written almost entirely by incarcerated people called About Time.

Na Mon from AMSWAG (Asian Migrant Sex Worker Advisory Group) chats to Joni Boyd about a south east Asian trans woman who had her visa cancelled by Border Force and has spent the last ten weeks in male detention at Villawood. There, the woman has been sexually assaulted, isolated, intimidated and denied medical treatment. Na Mon also goes into the profiling of south east Asian women under 30 being disproportionately targeted by border force and AMSWAG's campaign to end profiling, border turn backs and mandatory detention for migrants awaiting visa outcomes.

Today I discuss the featured species, Narra. It is a beautiful SE Asian wood mostly known in its burl form where it is called Amboyna Burl. Narra is undoubtedly a tropical wood in the Padauk genus but unlike many tropical woods it is easier to work with due to a lower hardness and a luster that serves to lubricate tooling while working its. I also discuss some of the elements that may make locally sourced timbers more expensive than wood brought from across the country. And finally how you might start the process of having your own trees introduced into the urban lumber market.

In 2003 the cost of solar panels was a staggering $10 per watt, one of the largest impediments to widespread adoption. However, today Photovoltaic (PV) modules have been reported to be as low as 10 cents per Watt in some SE Asian markets! It's not just a reflection of technological advancement, but also the result of relentless pursuit, strategic innovation, and the efforts of visionaries and executives working to scale the infrastructure required to bring the clean energy transition into view. The more the cost can be driven down the more it can be popularized and industrialized, and with solar technology, that cost begins at the solar cell. One company leading the solar revolution and continually innovating is Trina Solar. With over 150 GW of modules shipped since its inception and an impressive 5GW shipped to the US just last year—ranking number one in importation volumes—Trina Solar has stood for over a decade as a global leader in solar technology. They recently announced the expansion of their manufacturing into the US with their Wilmer, TX solar module facility. A key figure in Trina Solar's impressive growth story is Steven Zhu, President of Trina Solar US. After spending his childhood in China, Zhu followed in his parents' footsteps pursuing higher education in the United States at UVA. After a stint at IBM, he transitioned into entrepreneurship. His eventual fateful meeting with Trina's Chairman Gao is a little-told but worthwhile story and it's captured here in today's episode. His leadership trajectory, marked by an impeccable balance of ambition and conservative execution, has been pivotal for the company. Steven's visionary leadership has not only helped Trina weather the industry's fluctuating highs and lows but also played a significant role in making solar energy more accessible and affordable.Steven's insights detail the importance of localization, technological efficiency, customer-centricity, and a balanced commercial approach. Illustrating the urgent need for a transition towards a clean, sustainable energy future, he emphasizes that to achieve our clean energy goals and reach 100 GW on the US grid, we need a continued diversification of the supply chain to reduce costs. Merely banking on incentives is not sustainable for achieving grid parity. This conversation underscores the broader lesson—the world must invest not only in renewable energy but also in strategic, sustainable, and diversified solutions to meet our critical energy demands. I hope you enjoy this rare glimpse into the foundational years of Trina Solar through the eyes of one of its key contributors.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.SunCast is presented by Sungrow, the world's most bankable inverter brand.SunCast is also supported by PVcase & Trina.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 650 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.You can connect...

An estimated 3 million Americans use kratom products for recreational purposes, in self-treatment of opiate addiction, and to manage pain. Yet, our scientific understanding of its safety, efficacy, and potential for addiction is still poorly understood. With new data emerging each year, scientists are starting to gain a better picture of the full spectrum of risks and benefits of this SE Asian medicinal herb. Our guest this week, Dr. Christopher McCurdy, is an internationally recognized expert on kratom. Chris is a Professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutics at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, where he also directs the UF Translational Drug Development Core. We address questions like: What is kratom? Where does it come from and how does its traditional use differ from the ways it is consumed in the USA? What are the major active compounds found in kratom and how much variation is there in different products? What are the side effects of chronic versus acute use of kratom? And are there any drugs you should avoid taking in combination with kratom? #kratom #MedicinalPlants #Pain #Addiction #tea #Herbs #HerbalSafety #Stimulant #Science #foodiepharmacology #ChristopherMcCurdy

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on ASEAN-Myanmar

Classic pulp-era writers looked to French Indochina and the islands of the South Pacific as mysterious and exotic settings, a source for strange artifacts and distant adventure. Leng, the Tcho-Tcho, and Shugoran were inserted into the region without consideration for local cultures and history. Unsurprisingly, fiction and gaming scenarios by Western authors often focus on the island-hopping of the Pacific War and events of the Second Indochina War. Our panelists look at the representation of SE Asian cultures in weird fiction, issues of appropriation, the adaptation and repurposing of Western lore, and the development of the weird in Southeast Asia.

At Telescope Investing we focus on publicly-listed stocks, but investing in private companies is another option for investors seeking higher returns, and this is becoming increasingly accessible to retail investors through crowdfunding services. On this week's pod, we're joined by award-winning entrepreneur and founder Prantik Mazumdar, to get his insights on private equity and venture capital investing. Prantik brings his extensive experience working with local enterprises in Singapore and as a business owner to the world of angel investing and venture capital. In a wide-ranging discussion, we talk about the key trends in the SE Asian startup scene, the qualities he looks for in private equity investments, and the personal and financial rewards of investing in sustainability. For companies at such an early stage of their life, there is a heightened emphasis on leadership. One of the key principles is founder-problem fit - the key question of whether founders are not just good founders, but have suitable skills and experience for the problem they are trying address? What are the dynamics within the founding team, do they have complementary skills and aligned values? Does the underlying equity structure give all the partners the right incentives, and are they able to attract key personnel to achieve their vision for the company? How large is the problem set the company is trying to solve and what is the total addressable space they are targeting? Is there a strong product-market fit to drive revenue and customer growth? Do they fulfil the "3Rs" to scale quickly - the ability to Raise capital, Race for growth and Remove competition? Less than 10% of private companies have a good exit, and it is important to understand the risks and diversify your investments accordingly. Give yourself time to understand the businesses and to build conviction. With climate change becoming an increasing focus for many governments, investing in sustainability can be a force for good and a force for growth as new companies emerge in areas such as ed-tech, alternative meat and clean energy. These nascent industries are not just good for the planet but may offer high investment returns and are seeing huge interest from venture capital. Some of the companies mentioned in the discussion are Byju's, Float Foods, Eat Just, Stripe, UiPath, Apeel, and of course SpaceX. ----- If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing at https://telescopeinvesting.com/subscribe/ Or you can contact the hosts: LukeTelescope AlbertTelescope

Hello!! We are back this week with an actual convo with someone else! YAAY! In today's episode, I bring back my 2nd guest that I had on the show last year, Deepa Pulipati,  to talk about empowering South Asian women and strengthening their leadership skills in the workforce.  Deepa brings up some interesting facts she discovered in her research about South Asian women in the US corporate world, things that reflect our South Asian upbringing in a patriarchal society. It's complicated, but she and I have a great talk about the corporate world and how we can be agents of change to create a more harmonious place at work where productivity, creativity, and self-compassion create a bottom line of job satisfaction, better leadership, and a better product.  Plus, she gives two very simple exercises to create more balance between the inner critic we all have and developing the inner champion we need more of.  We had such a great conversation and we are so excited about the South Asian Womyn's Leadership program! Topics discussed in this episode: -People tend to lump South Asian and SE Asian womyn together, but there are some unique differences between the 2 groups -Deepa and Sharmila are working together in the South Asian Womyn's Leadership Series, a bespoke 5-week program to provide South Asian (here on out S.A.) womyn with tools for advancement, build confidence, and learn how to share their stories amongst other important tools just to name a show -How do South Asian womyn advance in the workplace -Deepa observed her South Asian womyn clients and South Asian womyn associates that worked in felt like they didn't had a clear path to "get ahead" and a lack of representation of South Asian womyn mentors, or South Asian womyn in a leadership role -Deepa personally knows many South Asian womyn that are successful in South Asia and in America -There are very few studies and articles about South Asian womyn in the workplace in the United States       --why is this? -A study showed that womyn are not confrontational nor do they take risks at work -American corporate culture needs to change. We need to think differently and revamp the corporate structure -Solutions offered for clients in the SA Womyn's Leadership series, create community, i.e. "your ideal day" exercise, taking inventory throughout your day, focusing on all the tasks you did -What 3 things do you appreciate about yourself exercise Resources mentioned:  South Asian Womyn's Leadership series deepa@tulacoach.com for more info www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/business/indra-nooyi-corner-office-pepsi.html   Asian Amerian & Pacific Islanders stopaapihate.org About the guest: Deepa Pulipati is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.

Nicole Go is a queer Filipino/Chinese American entertainment professional, originally from Chicago. She is currently the Sr. Manager, Business Development – Diversity & Inclusion at Staff Me Up. With over a decade of media production experience spanning from the music industry to Emmy-award winning television, she is relentless about collaborating with organizations, studios and production companies to increase inclusivity within the TV landscape.  Lastly, this episode is the first in a series of episodes highlighting those from Asia and SE Asia. There is a significant rise in anti-Asian hate, particularly directed to women and the elderly, in North America over the last year. Tragically, six SE Asian women were murdered in Atlanta, GA USA in mid-March and has sprung protests and the #stopasianhate movement in the US and Canada. Nicole notes to listen to be more inclusive in our lives. I hope you will. ---------- HOST: Ashwini Prasad | www.InclusiveScreenwriter.com | IG @theinclusivescreenwriter | Twitter: @INCScreenwriter | Clubhouse: incscreenwriter
