The Senate narrowly passes Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill, with attention now turning back to the House as it races to pass the package. Fed Chair Jerome Powell appears to push back at pressure from President Trump, telling the Sintra forum the Fed would have cut rates further by this stage if it had not been for tariffs.

US equity futures are fractionally lower after yesterday's rally pushed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to fresh record closes. Europe opened firmer and Asia finished mixed. Overnight narrative was largely upbeat, growing Fed rate cut expectations have provided the key directional driver, partly fueled by Trump scrutiny of Powell. Trade headlines remain front-and-center ahead of the 9—July tariff deadline: the White House says framework agreements with Canada and the EU are moving forward, while Japan and India talks still face sticking points over autos and market access. Senate Republicans continue amendment votes on the wide-ranging tax-and-spend bill, with final passage expected before the holiday. Soft US regional-activity surveys and falling job-vacancy indicators are feeding rate-cut expectations ahead of Thursday's non-farm payrolls and Chair Powell's remarks at Sintra this morning.Companies Mentioned: TikTok, Paramount Global, OpenAI, Alphabet

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Tomás Goulart e Sarah Campos debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, a semana se iniciou com o ataque americano às instalações nucleares do Irã, que reagiu com resposta moderada. Dos dados econômicos nos EUA, chamou atenção a revisão baixista de consumo do 1º trimestre; e o PCE reforçou sinais de desaceleração no 2º trimestre, assim como inflação mais controlada. No Brasil, o IPCA-15 veio benigno e abaixo do esperado, com núcleos em desaceleração. A ata do Copom teve tom um pouco mais dovish que o comunicado, reforçando o compromisso com juros altos por período prolongado, mas sem endurecer o discurso. O Relatório de Inflação trouxe revisão para cima do hiato do produto e ligeira alta na projeção condicional de inflação a partir de 2027. Os dados de mercado de trabalho seguiram demonstrando robustez; e o primário de maio foi negativo, em linha com o esperado. No âmbito político, o Congresso derrubou o decreto do IOF imposto pelo governo, elevando a tensão entre Executivo e Legislativo. Nos EUA, os juros fecharam (vértice de 2 anos -16 bps), e as bolsas tiveram bom desempenho – S&P 500 +3,44%, Nasdaq +4,20% e Russell 2000 +3%. No Brasil, os juros também fecharam (jan/27 -12 bps), o Ibovespa caiu 0,18% e o real valorizou 0,49%. O petróleo caiu ao redor de 12%. Na próxima semana, destaque para dados de emprego e atividade nos EUA, desenvolvimentos sobre o pacote fiscal americano, falas dos dirigentes de bancos centrais no Fórum de Sintra e, por aqui, atenção ao Caged. Não deixe de conferir!

In den kommenden Tagen ist das portugiesische Sintra in der Nähe von Lissabon fest in der Hand von Notenbankern. In einem Golf-Resort in der Nähe des berühmten Schlosses vor den Toren der Stadt findet das EZB-Forum statt. Neben europäischen Notenbankern kommen dazu auch Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus den USA und Asien. „Es ist jetzt keine Konferenz zur aktuellen Geldpolitik – dann würde man ja auch nicht die Leute von der Fed beispielsweise einfliegen lassen, die ja jetzt mit der EZB-Geldpolitik direkt nichts zu tun haben. Sondern es ist eine Forschungskonferenz, wo dann auch viele Wissenschaftler aus aller Welt zusammenkommen und zusammen mit Notenbankern debattieren“, erklärt Martin Pirkl, währungspolitischer Korrespondent der Börsen-Zeitung, im Podcast 7TageMärkte. Für viele Marktteilnehmer steht im Fokus, wie sich die Zinsen entwickeln. Anhaltspunkte könnte die Auftaktrede von EZB-Präsidentin Christine Lagarde liefern, aber auch ein hochkarätig besetztes Panel mit den Notenbankchefs aus den USA, Japan, Großbritannien und Südkorea. „Ich würde allerdings ein bisschen die Erwartungen dämpfen“, sagt Pirkl. Für Juli verdichteten sich die Zeichen auf eine Zinspause – und für Hinweise auf die Entwicklung im September sei es „einfach noch zu früh“. Außerdem gibt es in der aktuellen Episode ein Fazit des gescheiterten Börsen-Anlaufs von Autodoc, einen Ausblick auf das Jahrestreffen des Bundesverbands der Deutschen Volksbanken und Raiffeisenbanken und den Überblick über die weiteren wichtigen Themen und Termine der Kalenderwoche 27.

Buckle up for another wild ride on The Chad and Cheese Podcast, where our hosts sling hot takes faster than a fast food drive-thru! This episode's a global smorgasbord, kicking off with a shout-out to Portugal's national football team, who're apparently scoring goals like they're auditioning for a Hollywood blockbuster. Olé! Then, the lads pivot to Taco Bell's grand invasion of Ireland—because nothing says “Irish culture” like a Crunchwrap Supreme at 2 a.m.Next, they dive into the recruitment jungle (see what I did there?) to dissect Welcome to the Jungle, France's slick job platform trying to muscle into the U.S. market. Spoiler: it's like a croissant trying to compete with a double cheeseburger. The hosts break down whether this Euro import can hack it in the land of LinkedIn and Monster, all while preaching the gospel of “know thy market” like it's a recruitment sermon. The convo then zooms into the AI startup Thunderdome, pitting Sintra against Jet HR in a cage match of funding flexes and business models. Who's got the bigger war chest? Who's got the better buzzwords? It's like watching two tech bros arm-wrestle over venture capital. Things get spicy when they tackle AI and automation, with Amazon playing the role of job-market Godzilla, stomping through Europe's workforce like it's a bad kaiju flick. And because no podcast is complete without a moral panic, the hosts cap it off by wagging their fingers at social media's evil grip on today's youth. They're out here advocating for regulations to save kids from the horrors of endless TikTok scrolls—like digital knights in shining armor. Will Welcome to the Jungle conquer America? Will AI eat all our jobs? Will teens survive Instagram? Gotta watch to find out.

Moçambique assinala neste 25 de Junho de 2025, os 50 anos da sua independência. Por esta ocasião, a RFI propõe-vos um percurso pela história do país e a sua luta pela liberdade. No décimo segundo episódio desta digressão, evocamos a luta de libertação e a independência de Moçambique vista a partir de Portugal. A guerra de libertação e a proclamação da independência foram um sismo na História de Moçambique mas também de Portugal que a partir de 1975 reintegrou as suas fronteiras iniciais, na periferia da Europa. Membro eminente da diáspora moçambicana em Lisboa, o artista Lívio de Morais viveu boa parte da sua vida nesse Portugal já sem império. Chegado em 1971 para estudar Belas-Artes, ele fundou a sua família e foi docente na zona de Lisboa. Em entrevista à RFI, ele começou por contar os seus primeiros tempos difíceis, como líder estudantil e militante independentista, enfrentando o racismo e o medo de ser preso pela PIDE, a polícia política. "Eu estava na associação como um dos dirigentes da Associação da Escola de Belas Artes e nós éramos rebeldes. E através da arte é possível fazer política. Eu desconfiava. Tive colegas, um de Cabo Verde, outro não sei de onde que fugiram. Foram para a Holanda, porque o ambiente não estava nada bom. Os professores tinham tendência a querer chumbar-nos. Sentia se o racismo dentro da faculdade e nós normalmente não comíamos dentro da faculdade e íamos andando de um lado para o outro. Procurávamos onde havia sossego e paz. Juntávamo-nos e falávamos sempre da política", começa por contar o artista. "O que era incómodo era poder se falar na luta de libertação. Porque aqui a Frelimo era considerada terrorista. Portanto, eu não podia declarar-me ‘terrorista', ou seja, da Frelimo. E, portanto, era apolítico por fora. Mas entre nós, africanos, não tínhamos outra linguagem" recorda o antigo professor que ao lembrar-se da atmosfera vivenciada aquando do 25 de Abril de 1974, fala de um sentimento de "inebriamento". "Estivemos a tocar tambores -e eu ainda tenho o meu tambor que andei a tocar- contentes, confiantes que estava tudo bem e que tudo ia resultar. Claro, havia uma certa dúvida sobre o fim da guerra, se até ao ano seguinte, na independência, se não teria um retorno, porque conforme a História, as coisas podem dar em golpe de estado", recorda Lívio de Morais referindo contudo nunca ter pensado em regressar ao seu país por considerar ser mais útil permanecendo no seio da Diáspora. Olhando para o seu país de longe, o pintor e escultor mostra-se algo crítico relativamente às escolhas que têm sido feitas. "Às vezes fico baralhado. Não sei se tenho que falar ou não, porque coisas absurdas acontecem. Todo o mal de Moçambique tem a ver com a administração da economia. Tem a ver com a distribuição da riqueza. Tem a ver com o desenvolvimento regional, porque há uma concentração em Maputo. A primeira coisa que Moçambique deveria fazer era efectivamente espalhar esse desenvolvimento, essa riqueza de norte a sul, com certo equilíbrio", considera Lívio de Morais. Relativamente a Portugal e à forma como é encarado, o artista que é muito activo na vida da zona onde reside, nas imediações de Lisboa, fala dos preconceitos que ainda podem subsistir. "O racismo é camuflado, está na mente das pessoas, não é aberto como era no tempo que eu estava como estudante. Quando eu estava a namorar, em 1976. Eram palavrões de todo o lado, como se tivesse cometido algum erro. Mas agora é normal, porque Portugal tem muitas culturas. Eu, pelo menos procuro lapidar logo que aparece uma cena dessas. A ideia que há sobre o africano na Europa. Os meus filhos são portugueses, mas têm a mistura da cor da mãe portuguesa e a mistura da cor do pai, que é moçambicano. O mundo tem que ser assim", diz Lívio de Morais que sobre o crescimento da extrema-direita em Portugal considera que "é uma vitória do racismo", mas que ele não vai prevalecer. "Não vão conseguir acabar com os africanos, com os indianos ou com os cidadãos do Bangladeche. Como nós, em Moçambique, não estamos interessados em acabar com os que nos querem. Quem vai a Moçambique, sendo portugueses, ingleses, franceses, etc, nós aceitamos porque é um meio de investimento, de desenvolvimento, de turismo, de bom conviver, da paz e vai ao encontro dos Direitos Humanos. O que dizem os Direitos Humanos? O ser humano é livre de escolher onde se sente seguro, onde se sente melhor para sua sobrevivência e vivência. Queiramos ou não queiramos, vamos nos aperceber que dentro de dez, 20, 30 anos, não haverá essa diferença que existia no passado dos pretos, dos brancos, dos amarelos", lança Lívio de Morais. 50 anos depois de Moçambique e de outros países de África Lusófona acederem à independência, falta ainda mudar a percepção desse passado em Portugal, apesar de ter existido um consenso contra a guerra colonial no seio da população portuguesa, diz Bernardo Pinto da Cruz, investigador especializado nesse período ligado à Universidade Nova de Lisboa. "Os estudos que existem acerca da opinião pública no último período do imperialismo português apontam que havia, de facto, um consenso contra a guerra colonial. Consenso esse que se refletia na composição das Forças Armadas e, depois do Movimento das Forças Armadas, que vieram a dar o 25 de Abril de 1974. Todavia, nós sabemos que grande parte da população era analfabeta e a iliteracia pesava muito num contexto em que a censura era recorrente, quotidiana", começa por constatar o estudioso. Sobre a forma como se apresenta a narrativa em torno da descolonização após o 25 de Abril, o investigador considera que "há duas fases distintas". "Até 1994-95, há uma espécie de cristalização de um tabu acerca da guerra colonial. Um tabu marcado sobretudo por um imaginário da esquerda. E, portanto, aqui temos um duplo legado. Portanto, o legado da descolonização é o legado da transição para a democracia. Depois, em 1994-95, dá-se uma explosão da memória. Pelo menos é assim que os historiadores e os cientistas políticos falam acerca desse período. Explosão da memória, em que a esse imaginário de esquerda começa a ser contraposto um imaginário de direita em que se começa a reequacionar a bondade da descolonização, o próprio processo de descolonização. E essa fase segue, grosso modo, uma desmobilização do tema da descolonização como um tema quente que era debatido no Parlamento português", diz o especialista em ciência política. Questionado sobre alguns dos efeitos da descolonização em Portugal, nomeadamente o regresso dos chamados ‘retornados' ao país dos seus antepassados, Bernardo Pinto da Cruz baseia-se nas conclusões de um livro recente da autoria do investigador João Pedro Jorge. "Foram encarados com suspeição por parte dos portugueses, também por parte de uma certa esquerda que temia que os ‘retornados' viessem engrossar as fileiras de apoio aos movimentos reacionários. Mas o que nós hoje sabemos é que foram uma força muitíssimo importante para a consolidação do Estado providência português, isto é, medidas assistencialistas de bem-estar. Os ‘retornados' foram uma força viva que permitiu ao Estado português reorientar-se de uma ditadura para a democracia", diz o universitário ao referir que o preconceito que existia em relação a essa categoria da população portuguesa tende agora a diluir-se. Sobre os militares que combateram nas diversas frentes na Guiné, em Moçambique e Angola, o pesquisador dá conta das contradições às quais ele e seus pares têm de fazer frente. "Temos aqui um problema para fazer investigação. Por um lado, honrar a memória é também honrar as necessidades que esses veteranos de guerra têm hoje em dia. (…) Por outro lado, nós temos de encarar de frente o problema dos crimes de guerra. E quando queremos encarar de frente os crimes de guerra, nós sabemos que eventualmente vamos estar a mexer não só com as memórias dessas pessoas, mas também com as suas famílias. Acabaremos sempre por contribuir também para a estigmatização dessas pessoas", refere Bernardo Pinto da Cruz. Evocando o caso ainda mais delicado dos africanos que combateram sob bandeira portuguesa, o especialista da descolonização diz que a única forma de lidar com com esse "dualismo em que se quer encerrar as pessoas é, talvez recuperarmos o papel do Estado português, das Forças Armadas portuguesas no aliciamento, no recrutamento forçado dessas pessoas". Por fim, ao comentar a crescente tentação que existe em Portugal de "branquear" o seu passado colonial, Bernardo Pinto da Cruz refere que "a visão mais corrente dentro da academia portuguesa é a da necessidade de descolonizar as mentes. E isso é sobretudo verbalizado por sociólogos do Centro de Estudos Sociais de Coimbra, que fizeram um trabalho importantíssimo acerca do que se costuma chamar de ‘amnésia histórica'. Essa ‘amnésia histórica ‘a propósito do colonialismo seria, no entender desses investigadores, um resultado do enorme impacto da ideologia oficial do Estado Novo que é o luso-tropicalismo. E esse luso-tropicalismo ainda hoje perdura nas mentes dos portugueses e, portanto, nós precisamos de descolonizar as mentes dos portugueses. Eu sou muito céptico a respeito disso. Eu reconheço o importantíssimo trabalho destes investigadores, mas eu sou muito céptico acerca do impacto que uma ideologia pode ter na prática para acreditarem a despeito de toda a prova empírica em contrário, de que Portugal não era um país racista. As últimas sondagens, por exemplo, do ano passado, a respeito dos 50 anos do 25 de Abril, mostram justamente isso : mais de metade dos portugueses acredita que o desenvolvimento dos povos foi a característica-chave do colonialismo português. Eu não discuto isso. Agora, dizer que isso está correlacionado a uma ‘amnésia histórica', eu não acredito. As pessoas sentem-se mais à vontade para falar, até porque têm uma oferta partidária hoje que lhes permite falar muito mais abertamente desse tópico", considera o estudioso acerca do racismo em Portugal. Podem ouvir os nossos entrevistados na íntegra aqui:     Podem também ver aqui algumas das obras do artista moçambicano Lívio de Morais, recentemente expostas no Centro Cultural Lívio de Morais, na zona de Sintra, no âmbito da celebração dos 50 anos da independência de Moçambique:

A inflação na Zona Euro abrandou para 1,9% em maio, numa altura em que o Banco Central Europeu (BCE) pode fazer uma pausa no corte de juros. A inflação de Portugal fixou-se nos 1,7%, abaixo da média. Lagarde volta a falar do tema em julho e em setembro, após o Fórum do BCE em Sintra, onde estarão sentados alguns dos possíveis sucessores de Mário Centeno, no Banco de Portugal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textImagine getting paid real cryptocurrency simply for walking. This isn't science fiction. It's the revolutionary model created by Sweat Economy that's bringing the next billion users into Web3 through something everyone already does daily.Walking through the breathtaking hills of Sintra, Portugal, Oleg Fomenko shares Sweat Economy's remarkable journey from their early days as Sweatcoin in 2014 to becoming one of the world's most downloaded fitness apps. Initially constrained by blockchain limitations, they operated centrally until 2022, when technology finally caught up with their vision. Now, through their Sweat token and non-custodial wallet, they've created a seamless experience that addresses the three critical barriers keeping mainstream users from embracing crypto: complicated products, poor user experience, and prohibitive entry costs.What makes their approach particularly refreshing is their focus on active users rather than Total Value Locked (TVL). While much of the crypto industry chases capital from whales, Sweat Economy builds for real people with real needs. "We want to bring the next billion people into Web3 and do it in an easy to understand, easy to use, and no barriers way," Oleg explains while demonstrating their model in real-time during our walking podcast.Their tokenomics incorporate clever mechanisms like requiring more steps for each additional token (similar to Bitcoin halving but happening continuously), and they've created innovative utility including activity-based staking—walk 10,000 steps today, earn 10% APY tomorrow—and an upcoming universal gas token feature letting users "pay fees with their feet" across multiple blockchains.Comparing crypto's current state to the internet around 2000, Oleg paints an exciting picture of what's next: "We're on the cusp of switching to consumer crypto... That gave us Google in 2003, Facebook in 2007. And that's where bulk of the returns and money on the internet were made." This shift from infrastructure to consumer applications is where Sweat Economy is positioning itself at the forefront.This episode was recorded during a walk in Sintra on June 12, 2025.

I'm on something of a personal campaign to persuade more people to add a day or two to their trip to visit one of my favourite Portuguese locations – Cascais, the port planted elegantly on the shoreline west of the capital, Lisbon, on what's known as the Portuguese Riviera. It was settled in turn by Romans, Visigoths and Moors and today the centre of Cascais is an intriguing combination of sun-worn houses, cafés shops and smart hotels – including the Farol, whose sales director is Teresa Saramago.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.

O partido de André Ventura prepara-se para dar mais um passo gigante na afirmação como grande partido nacional. Nas autárquicas de 2021, o Chega não conquistou nenhuma câmara, ficando-se pela eleição de 19 vereadores em todo o país, mas a possibilidade de vencer em vários municípios é real e pode mesmo passar a ser a terceira força política. O Expresso cruzou diferentes dados para perceber em que concelhos é mais fácil isso acontecer. Neste episódio, conversamos com a editora de Política, Eunice Lourenço.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Entrevista Exclusiva. Biografia.

In this episode, Tina Tower takes listeners behind the scenes at South by Southwest (SXSW), her favorite tech conference. Having attended eight times, Tina shares her biggest takeaways, standout sessions, and key emerging tech trends—all with her signature candor and enthusiasm. This episode dives deep into AI trends, the loneliness epidemic, balancing technology and human connection, the environmental impact of AI, cybersecurity, and so much more. If you're keen to stay on the cutting edge of tech but also crave a more connected, fulfilling life, this one's for you. Key Takeaways: SXSW Overview: SXSW combines tech, music, and film; Tina focused on the tech track. It's a hub for learning, inspiration, and connecting with like-minded change makers. AI Everywhere: AI dominated the conference, but Tina questions whether mainstream desire matches tech-world hype. Small language models are emerging as more eco-friendly than large ones like GPT-4. AI agents, avatars, and robo-taxis are evolving fast—commercial fast-learning robots may be here by 2030. Human Connection & Loneliness: Keynote by Kasli Kalam emphasized the "loneliness epidemic." Her "5-3-1 Game": Connect with 5 people weekly, maintain 3 close relationships, and have 1 hour of quality interaction daily. Even introverts need meaningful connection, though the ideal amount varies. AI, Tech & Health: The paradox of embracing convenience tools while ensuring they support—not replace—human connection and mental health. Future health may involve mindset coaches as common as personal trainers. Ethics & Future Threats: A growing divide: people embracing vs. avoiding advanced tech (think brain chips and body-embedded sensors). Issues around trust in information and the growing need for credible journalism. Cybersecurity: Meredith Whitaker from Signal warned about privacy risks as AI agents start connecting all your personal information. Tips: Enable end-to-end encryption, especially for sensitive accounts like iCloud. Wonder & Curiosity: Beyond tech, nurture your community, stay curious, and deliberately step out of your echo chamber. The Need for Balance: Leverage AI for productivity, but use the gained time for real connection and human experiences. Draw boundaries with tech—seek more “off time” for happiness and well-being.   Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just trying to make sense of the digital world we're living in, this episode offers a grounded perspective with heart. Tune in to feel inspired, informed, and reminded that the future is human—tech is just the tool.

Os ouvintes solidarizaram-se com a Ana, que estava com muito sono, assistimos a um espetáculo de standup comedy no segundo episódio de “Anjos e um pequeno demónio” e Mónica Sintra foi a Quarta da Manhã e decidiu entre o que era mais rentável: ser cantor e processar comediantes ou ser bombeira e ficar amiga de Marco Paulo.

Send us a textEver wondered how an event brimming with over 71,000 visionaries feels? Join me, Joeri Billast, as I guide you through the electrifying atmosphere of the WebSummit in Lisbon. This year, AI took center stage, with 3,000+ companies showcasing their innovations across bustling floors. As a Sintra local, attending the summit was a delightful escape from long-haul flights, though an impromptu trip to Belgium for an AI workshop meant I was flying back to Portugal just in time for the event. From intimate meetups scheduled via the WebSummit app to reconnecting with industry peers like Diego Borgo and Ethan Pierce, the experience was an exhilarating blend of chaos and connection. While there wasn't a dedicated Web3 stage this year, the spirit of Web3 thrived in side events like the DePIN Day by Outlier Ventures, where networking was anything but ordinary. Despite missing a main stage presence, Web3 was interwoven into every corner of the summit, promising a return next year. Each side gathering, whether atop a rooftop bar or amidst the buzzing meetups, turned into a serendipitous reunion of the Web3 community. Listen along as I recount these enriching exchanges, the thrill of bumping into familiar faces, and why WebSummit remains an unmissable gathering for tech enthusiasts worldwide.This episode was recorded via Descript on November 15, 2024. The episode is short, so exceptionally there are no show notes.Looking to recharge and gain fresh insights into Web3 and AI?

I am next to bass drummer second to the right wearing the brown driving cap inflatable leprechaun" Mitchell Dobrenen Family emailed a couple photos from Greenville, SC: "He prefers to lie down to listen."   José Teixeira emailed: "Hi Marc! I have started listening you podcast for some time now, a bit by accident when I was searching for music podcasts. For a long time I've been attracted by Celtic culture, that has influenced by some way the culture of northern Portugal, where I was born. My wife, though she was born in the south of the country  -  its a small country : - )  -  also enjoys Celtic art, and suddenly our eldest son was playing Galician bag pipe, what came by a surprise because there's no tradition of instrument playing in our families. By the way, we now we live in Sintra (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintra). Usually, I listen to you and the good music that you share during the weekend, while I take care of our garden or during my chores. About the end of Google Podcasts, there's a quite good alternative that I have been using at least for the last couple of years. It's called AntennaPod (https://antennapod.org/) and I sure it can help some of your android listeners. Obrigado pelo teu bom trabalho (Thank you for you good work). José"
