Come explore geoscience innovation and collaboration in Australia with host Anne Thompson. We talk to researchers at three universities and one geologic survey - who are also all involved in the Society of Economic Geologists 2025 Conference in Brisbane, Queensland.Joins us to learn more about advancing science and discovery in Australia!SEG 2025Rick Valenta, chair of SEG 2025 provides a broad view of the work of the SMI (Sustainable Minerals Institute, University of Queensland) and how his role there as Director has influenced the conference.  What makes minerals mineable includes all the other aspects that sometimes are neglected, including the impact of geoscience on society, and on individual communities. A recent highlight in Australia is the final release of the Queensland Deposit Atlas, a vast and comprehensive public data set.  The Atlas was commissioned and funded by the Queensland Geologic Survey and completed by SMI.  Vladimir Lisitsin provides an overview of the data and the many and varied mineral deposits found in Queensland. To get a flavour of what might be in the technical program I chatted with two keynote speakers.  Angela Escolme, CODES, University of Tasmania provided insights into her work with a large collaborative project aimed at understanding the overprinted, transition zones in porphyry systems.  Lastly, David Giles, University of South Australia delved into how a structural geologist got to be involved in creating the innovative coiled tubing drill rig and what it really means to be truly collaborative.  Theme music is  Confluence by Eastwindseastwindsmusic.com SEG 2025 is in Brisbane, Australia, September 26-29th.  This will be a dynamic conference with cutting edge science, new discoveries, technology and more.  Opportunities for networking and learning include several workshops and field trips before and after the event, relaxed social events and of course the conference itself.  See you there! 

Die Sika Aktie sinkt – innerhalb von einem Jahr hat sie rund 24 Prozent eingebüsst. Die Aktie sei momentan nicht so stark im Fokus wie beispielsweise Holcim, sagt Eugen Perger, Analyst bei Research Partners. Positive Impulse gab es heute nicht – der Umsatz in Franken im ersten Halbjahr sank. SMI +0.4%

Ievai Strukai Astrīda Kairiša sākās ar Lauras lomu filmā "Ezera sonāte", bet uz skatuves – ar Antoniju "Skroderdienās Silmačos". Daudzas nefiksētas sarunas pie bezgalīgām kafijas tasēm un Astrīdas izsmēķētām cigaretēm - tā ir liktens dāvana, Ievai Strukai strādājot Nacionālajā teātrī, pierunāt Astrīdu, kura jau sen nesniedz intervijas par sevi, sarunai "Teātra Vēstnesim" viņas 70. jubilejas sakarā un palūgt dažas bērnības dienu bildes rakstam izdevumā "100 izcili Latvijas aktieri". Varbūt tas ir sākums, lai taptu grāmata "Kafija un cigaretes. Astrīda", kas prasa gan striktu struktūru, gan spēju sabalansēt emocionālo ar racionālo, attēlu ar tekstu. Varat to saukt arī par savdabīgu fotogrāmatu, kuras līdzautors ir fotomākslinieks Kristaps Kalns. Diplomdarba izrādē Astrīda spēlē Zani, pēc tam šī loma seko līdz filmai un visbeidzot – līdz Elmāra Seņkova iestudētajiem "Pūt, vējiņi!" Nacionālajā teātrī. Astrīdai ir daudz dots kā māksliniecei, bet cilvēciski - sarežģīts liktenis. Un arī kā jaunai aktrisei jādzird Smiļģa verdikts, ka nebūs… Tad seko liktenīgā Liepāja un atgriešanās Rīgā. Ievas Strukas grāmatu, kas veltīta aktrisei Astrīdai Kairišai (1941–2021), "Kafija un cigaretes. Astrīda"izdevuši "Latvijas Mediji". Noslēpuma klātbūtne paliek – sejā un balsī. Raidījumu atbalsta:

Die BLKB musste zuletzt 105 Millionen Franken für das im Jahr 2021 gegründete Fintech Radicant abschreiben – es läuft nicht wie erwartet. Der bereits Ende Juli zurücktretende Bankratspräsident der BLKB, Thomas Schneider, erklärt, dass es bei Startups schwierig sei, immer alles richtigzumachen. SMI -0.7%

Bei Roche läuft es gut: Der Umsatz stieg im ersten Halbjahr um 4 Prozent. Das Unternehmen nutzt den technologischen Fortschritt und kann durch KI Prozesse beschleunigen. Die Entwicklung von Medikamenten ist rund elf Monate kürzer, sagt Thomas Schinecker, Konzernchef Roche. SMI -0.3%

Der Schweizer Pharma-Zulieferer Lonza wächst – der Umsatz ist so hoch wie nie. Unter anderem sorgt der neue Standort in Kalifornien für Wachstum. Ein Grund für das gute Geschäft könnte die US-Regierung sein, die heimische Produkte bevorzugt, sagt Sibylle Bischofberger, Analystin Vontobel. SMI +1.5%

Schokolade ist teurer geworden – Lindt & Sprüngli erhöhte im ersten Halbjahr die Preise um fast 16 Prozent. Diese höheren Preise konnten tieferen Absatz kompensieren, der Umsatz nahm zu. Das Trend-Produkt «Dubai-Schokolade» soll in diesem Jahr bis zu zwei Prozent zum Umsatz beitragen. SMI +0.4%

Mit dem «Genius Act» müssen zukünftig relevante Stablecoins in den USA vollständig durch liquide Mittel gedeckt sein. Einige Unternehmen hoffen, ihre eigenen Coins herausgeben zu können. Dies könnte – wie bereits im 19. Jahrhundert – in einem Chaos enden, so Börsenkorrespondent Jens Korte. SMI -0.4%

Schindler präsentiert die Halbjahreszahlen: Das Fahrstuhl- und Rolltreppengeschäft läuft solide. Trumps Zollpolitik trifft das USA-Geschäft, zumindest indirekt. Lieferanten müssen nach wie vor Material in die USA importieren, so Konzernchef Paolo Compagna. SMI +0.2%

Swatch, Novartis und ABB publizieren heute zum Halbjahr. Ein gutes Ergebnis heisst nicht unbedingt Gutes für die Aktie, ein schlechtes Ergebnis wie bei Swatch nicht unbedingt Schlechtes. Gewisse Schnäppchenjäger hätten wohl bei Swatch zugeschlagen, so Matthias Geissbühler, Anlagechef der Raiffeisen. SMI +0.4%

Vor 30 Jahren lieferte der Online-Pionier Amazon sein erstes Paket aus. Heute verkauft er über 600'000 Produkte – und verdient rund 75 Prozent mit seinem Cloud-Geschäft. Amazon habe sich gewaltig verändert und beschäftige heute über eine Million Roboter, so SRF-Börsenkorrespondent Jens Korte. SMI: +0.1%

1.5 Milliarden Franken Risikokapital wurde im ersten Halbjahr in Schweizer Startups investiert – rund ein Drittel mehr als noch ein Jahr zuvor. Doch die Zahl täuscht. Nur einige wenige Startup-Firmen erhielten Kapital, darunter vor allem Biotech-Startups, so SECA-Vizechef Thomas Heimann. SMI -0.3%

Der Handel zwischen den USA und China nimmt ab. Trotzdem exportiert China im Juni insgesamt 5.8 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahresmonat. China handle taktisch und nutze Drittstaaten, um Zölle zu umgehen, sagt Finanzmarktberaterin Christa Janjic-Marti. SMI ±0.0%

Die Ems-Chemie-Konzernchefin Magdalena Martullo blickt durch und zurück: Obwohl der Umsatz im ersten Halbjahr um 6 Prozent sank, stieg der Gewinn. Das Unternehmen konnte mittels Investitionen Energiekosten sparen und der Autosektor in China wuchs. Martullo sieht zudem Potenzial im Gesundheitsmarkt. SMI -1.6 %

Der Schokoladenhersteller Barry Callebaut enttäuscht Investoren: In den ersten neun Monaten des Geschäftsjahres verkauft das Unternehmen 6 Prozent weniger Schokolade. Vontobel-Analyst Matteo Lindauer sieht die Gründe hierfür hauptsächlich in den erhöhten und volatilen Kakaopreisen. SMI: +1.0%

Noch reagieren die Märkte überraschend ruhig auf globale Unsicherheiten. Für das zweite Halbjahr erwartet Raiffeisen-Anlagechef Matthias Geissbühler weitere Schwankungen, weniger Wirtschaftswachstum und steigende Konsumentenpreise in den USA. Die tiefen Zinsen fordere auch Schweizer Anleger heraus. SMI: +0.3%

Die Unsicherheit über die US-Zollpolitik hält an – doch die Aktienmärkte reagieren weiterhin ruhig. Auch nach den Zoll-Briefen, in denen Donald Trump mehreren asiatischen Ländern mit Zöllen von bis zu 36 Prozent droht. Sie hätten wohl noch Schlimmeres erwartet, so Blackrock-Anlagestratege Tuan Huynh. SMI: +0.1%

Der Schweizerische Anlegerschutzverein (SASV) hofft mit einer Klage gegen die Solarfirma Meyer Burger einen Totalschaden für Aktionärinnen und Aktionäre abzuwenden. Meyer Burger habe vehement gegen Publizitätspflichten und Ad-Hoc-Pflichten verstossen, begründet SASV-Generalsekretär Arik Röschke. SMI: -0.1%

Der US-Aktienindex S&P 500 ist auf Rekordhoch. Mit Trumps Steuer- und Ausgabengesetz könnte sich der Trend fortsetzen. Katja Gisler, Chefstrategin bei Wellershoff & Partners, warnt: Der US-Dollar hat massiv an Wert verloren, ausländische Investoren profitieren kaum. SMI: ±0.0%

As many of our listeners embark on summer vacations and the US heads into a busy travel weekend for the Fourth of July holiday, we're talking with the chief executive of one of the world's busiest airports.  Paul Griffiths is CEO of Dubai Airports, which owns and manages the operation and development of Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International (DWC) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).  In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, Paul shares the path that led him from training as a musician to working with Sir Richard Branson to leading an airport that served more than 92 million travelers in 2024.  Paul explains the initiatives Dubai Airports has undertaken to become more sustainable and to decarbonize. He talks about how to balance rising demand for travel while also ensuring the sustainability of airport operations.  “There is a growing realization that the industry has to clean its act up as far as carbon emissions are concerned,” Paul says.  This episode is the latest in our Terra Carta Series of the All Things Sustainable podcast, a collaboration with the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI). Throughout 2025, we'll be interviewing SMI member CEOs like Paul from around the world and across industries about how they're approaching sustainability challenges and opportunities.  About the SMI and Terra Carta Podcast Series: The SMI is a network of over 250 global CEOs across finance and industry.

Gestern hatte Nutzmaschinen-Hersteller Aebi Schmidt den ersten Handelstag an der US-Börse Nasdaq. Obwohl die Preisbildung der Aktie anfangs nicht optimal funktionierte, ist Konzernchef Barend Fruithof zufrieden. Die Marktkapitalisierung sei nahe 900 Millionen und entspreche den Erwartungen. SMI: -0.1%

Der Schweizer Prüfkonzern SGS ist Weltmarktführer für Tests und Zertifizierungen unterschiedlichster Produkte. Nun übernimmt er den Warenprüfer ATS und stärkt damit sein US-Geschäft. Zunehmende Regulierungen, etwa für Nachhaltigkeit oder KI, schaffen zudem neue Segmente, so ZKB-Analyst Daniel Bürki. SMI: +0.2%

Schwacher Dollar und US-Zölle: Wie reagieren KMU? Laut einer Umfrage von «Switzerland Global Enterprise» erhöhen viele ihre Preise oder setzen auf andere Märkte – und es ziehe vermehrt Schweizer KMU in die USA, sagt Anja Fiedler. SMI: +0.4

Jahreshalbzeit – auch an der Schweizer Börse: In einem turbulenten ersten Halbjahr legt der SMI um 2.8 Prozent zu. Während etwa Sonova unter sinkendem Konsumentenvertrauen leidet, profitieren Holcim oder Geberit von Infrastrukturpaketen, wie «Migros Bank»-Anlagespezialistin Andrea Bally sagt. SMI: -0.5%

Welcome to the latest episode in the Terra Carta Series of the All Things Sustainable podcast, a collaboration with the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI). Throughout 2025, we'll be interviewing SMI member CEOs across industries and around the world about how they're approaching sustainability challenges and opportunities.  In today's episode, we speak to Caspar Herzberg, CEO of AVEVA, a UK-based software company and SMI member. “It's not the time to retreat on climate,” Caspar says. “The solutions exist today that can keep us on the path to net-zero, and now we need to focus on scaling these through digitization and adoption.” Caspar outlines the technology solutions that are supporting decarbonization efforts across sectors. He also talks about the role AI can play in driving efficiency and boosting the business case for sustainability. “At the end of the day, sustainability is only going to work when you are profitable,” he says. “Otherwise, businesses won't do it.” About the Terra Carta Podcast Series: The SMI is a network of over 250 global CEOs across finance and industry.

Die börsenkotierten Titlis-Bergbahnen präsentierten heute ihr Halbjahresergebnis – mit Rekordzahlen aus der vergangenen Wintersaison. Doch auch für den Sommer gibt sich CEO Norbert Patt optimistisch: Gutes Wetter helfe bei Schweizer Gästen, doch der wichtige internationale Markt sei wetterunabhängig. SMI: +0.8%

Nach der Übernahme der Gastrofirma Autogrill vor knapp zwei Jahren benannte sich Reisedetailhändler Dufry in Avolta um. Das Geschäft scheint zu laufen, die Aktie hat seit Anfang Jahr über 17 Prozent gewonnen. Die Integration habe sich schneller entwickelt als erwartet, so Analyst Manuel Lang. SMI ± 0.0%

Gelassenheit an den globalen Aktienmärkten – trotz geopolitischer Spannungen und starken Schwankungen. Das Vertrauen der Anlegerinnen und Anleger sei nach wie vor vorhanden, so Thomas Steinemann, Anlagechef der Privatbank Bellerive. Nun könnte das Thema der Zölle wieder in den Vordergrund rücken. SMI: -0.9%

A crypto enthusiast once wrote on Reddit, “Bitcoin is like winning the lottery in slow motion.” That might be a stretch, but one thing's clear: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't going anywhere. Today, Mark Biller joins us to unpack how crypto is moving into the mainstream and what that means for investors trying to make wise decisions.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Two Big Takeaways for Crypto InvestorsHere are two key insights to help investors make sense of today's crypto market:Bitcoin Stands Apart – It's critical to understand that Bitcoin is not like the rest of the crypto world. It has emerged as a unique and dominant force, with widespread adoption, while other cryptocurrencies remain highly speculative. Bitcoin Has Reached Critical Mass – Thanks to regulatory shifts and institutional adoption, Bitcoin seems to be here to stay. In just a few years, we've gone from government hostility toward crypto to SEC-approved Bitcoin ETFs and even a pro-crypto administration in the White House.Bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency, launched in 2008, and today it represents about 60% of the entire crypto market. It's gained institutional interest and widespread regulatory acceptance. By contrast, the remaining 40% of the crypto universe is fragmented, filled with thousands of projects, many of which will not survive.Think of most other cryptos not as currencies but as startup tech ventures. That helps frame their high risk and their potential for failure. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has arrived. The rest? They're still trying to prove themselves.Bitcoin as an Investment: What's Changed?Many early Bitcoin advocates hoped it would serve as a usable currency outside of traditional financial systems. But that vision has mostly faded. Today, most investors treat Bitcoin like digital gold—a store of value designed to hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies.It's volatile, yes. But its built-in scarcity (only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist) appeals to those who fear government overreach or reckless monetary policy. Bitcoin's not just for tech enthusiasts anymore—it's becoming a strategic asset for serious investors.Generational preferences also shape Bitcoin's rise. Younger investors, raised in a digital world of apps and virtual marketplaces, are far more comfortable with digital assets. What gold has long been to older generations, Bitcoin is becoming to younger ones: a hedge against inflation and a symbol of financial independence.In fact, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has grown significantly in recent years, signaling that institutions are viewing it in similar terms.Institutions and Even Nations Are Paying AttentionIt's not just individuals diving into Bitcoin. Global events—especially the 2022 freezing of Russian reserve assets—have prompted many nations to reassess their reliance on U.S. Treasury bonds. The result? A surge in gold buying by central banks, and increasing openness to alternatives like Bitcoin among private investors.While governments aren't yet buying Bitcoin, there's reasonable evidence to suggest that gold investors are starting to “skate to where the puck is going,” diversifying small portions of their portfolios into Bitcoin as a forward-looking strategy.With that being said, should we be concerned about the global shift away from U.S. treasuries?Not immediately. While a shift away from U.S. Treasuries could eventually raise interest rates and borrowing costs, the dollar still holds dominant status in global transactions. But it's a trend worth watching. It's a slow-motion problem—more of a simmer than a flashpoint.So…Should You Invest in Bitcoin?It depends. Investors with a strong risk tolerance and a positive outlook on gold might allocate a small portion (less than 5%) of their portfolio to Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETF's. The key is position sizing—keeping it small due to Bitcoin's extreme volatility.However, we want to be crystal clear: this only applies to Bitcoin, not to the rest of the crypto space, which still carries a high risk of going to zero.If you're curious to explore more, check out the full article, Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know, at SoundMindInvesting.org. The SMI team also offers a Bitcoin-inclusive ETF for those looking to dip a toe into this asset class as part of a broader, biblically informed strategy.At the end of the day, financial stewardship isn't about chasing trends—it's about making wise, measured decisions rooted in truth. And with the right knowledge, even complex topics like crypto can be approached with confidence.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I currently have about $1 million in an active 401(k) with a major financial institution. I'd like to transfer those existing funds to another custodian, where I can earn a guaranteed interest rate. However, I also want to continue contributing to my current 401(k) through my employer, taking on more investment risk with those new contributions. Is that possible?My husband and I live with my father-in-law, and the house needs some repairs. He's offered to loan us the money from his retirement account to cover the costs, but he's asking us to help pay the taxes he would owe on the distribution. Is that a wise arrangement?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know by Mark Biller (Sound Mind Investing Article)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Verwaltungsratspräsidenten werden abgestraft, wenn die Frauenquote des Verwaltungsrats tief ist. Das zeigt eine Swipra-Auswertung der 100 grössten Schweizer Unternehmen. Der Druck durch das Aktionariat sei besonders bei kleineren Unternehmen gross, sagt Christoph Wenk, Partner bei Swipra. SMI: +1.1% manueller Upload

Der Schweizer Baustoffhersteller Holcim spaltet sein Nordamerika-Geschäft ab – und listet es unter dem Namen Amrize sowohl an der Schweizer als auch an der US-Börse. Für ZKB-Aktienanalyst Martin Hüsler ist diese Doppelkotierung durchaus sinnvoll. Neu umfasst der SMI vorübergehend 21 statt 20 Titel. SMI: -0.1%

Was bedeutet das Tiefzinsumfeld für Pensionskassen? Wegen tieferen Renditen bei Obligationen investieren sie zunehmend in Aktien und Immobilien. Dies bringt höhere Anlagerisiken mit sich – doch die Risikofähigkeit der Pensionskassen sei aktuell gut, so Oliver Dichter von PPC Metrics. SMI: ±0.0%

Die SNB senkt den Leitzins um 25 Basispunkte auf null Prozent – und reagiert damit auf die tiefe Inflation und den starken Franken. Man sei sich jedoch der Nebenwirkungen bewusst, und die Hürde für Negativzinsen sei grösser als bei einer normalen Senkung, betont SNB-Präsident Martin Schlegel. SMI: -0.7%

Die Welt wird reicher: Wie ein neuer Bericht der UBS zeigt, steigt das globale Vermögen 2024 um 4.6 Prozent an – Spitzenplatz beim Durchschnittsvermögen belegt weiterhin die Schweiz. Zudem habe die Vermögensungleichheit leicht abgenommen, so UBS-Chefökonom UBS und Vermögensverwalter Paul Donovan. SMI: -0.4%

An der Paris Air Show präsentiert die internationale Luftfahrtbranche aktuell ihre neusten Modelle. Doch der amerikanische Hersteller Boeing steht nach dem Absturz einer Air India-Maschine unter Druck – und auch der europäische Hauptkonkurrent Airbus kämpft mit Lieferproblemen. SMI: -0.7%

Die Finanzmärkte reagieren heute auf die Eskalation im Nahen Osten eher gelassen. Nachdem Aktien am Freitag tauchten, tendieren sie heute etwa in den USA freundlicher.

Welcome to the latest episode in the Terra Carta Series of the All Things Sustainable podcast, a collaboration with the Sustainable Markets Initiative. Throughout 2025, we'll be interviewing SMI member CEOs across industries and around the world about how they're approaching sustainability challenges and opportunities.   In this episode, we're talking with Brennan Spellacy, founder and CEO of Patch, a climate technology company that helps companies manage, sell and buy carbon credits. Brennan says interest in carbon markets is growing as a tool for companies to achieve their climate targets, even amid a challenging current environment.  "Even though the tactics might evolve in the short term, almost every [Chief Sustainability Officer] that I've seen is upping their investments in 2025 and 2026, not cutting them. But how you deploy and how you talk about that deployment is going to obviously evolve," Brennan says.  He outlines how Patch works to drive the integrity of carbon markets by providing companies with a universal framework for evaluating projects across a wide range of technologies on an apples-to-apples basis.  "The core theory of change at Patch is that it's incredibly difficult to understand this market," Brennan says. "And the way we're going to drive scaling within this ecosystem today is to remove the friction to understanding."  About the Terra Carta Podcast Series: The SMI is a network of over 250 global CEOs across finance and industry.
