Über 5000 ehemalige Aktionäre der Credit Suisse klagen gegen die UBS, weil diese in ihren Augen zu wenig für die CS bezahlt hat. Wegen der Klage muss die UBS auf Geheiss des Zürcher Handelsgerichts vertrauliche Dokumente herausrücken. Nun ist die Frist zur Einreichung dieser Dokumente verstrichen. Weitere Themen: Francesca Albanese, die UNO-Sonderberichterstatterin für die Palästinensergebiete, nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund: So bezeichnet sie das Vorgehen Israels im Gazastreifen etwa als Völkermord oder vergleicht Netanjahu mit Hitler. Dafür wird sie scharf kritisiert. Erst vor kurzem gab der Bund bekannt, dass er seine Jugend- und Sportbeiträge ab 2026 um 20 Prozent kürzen will. Nun wollen offenbar auch die Kirchen bei ihren Jugendorganisationen den Rotstift ansetzen. In Baden etwa, wo eine Kürzung für die lokale Jubla und ihre Scharen diskutiert wird.

Wall Street closed mixed on Tuesday as investors assessed the latest comments out of President Trump on the tariff front whereby he said there will be no exceptions to his August 1 tariff start date. The S&P500 lost just 0.07%, the Dow Jones dipped 0.37% and the Nasdaq ended the day up 0.03%.In Europe overnight, markets in the region closed higher as investors hope trade deals can be done between the US and key European countries in the near future. The STOXX 600 rose 0.3%, and Germany's DAX, the French CAC and the UK's FTSE 100 ended the day up 0.5% each.Across the Asia region on Tuesday, it was positive despite investors assessing President Trumps' latest tariff threats on 14 key trading partners. Imports from Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia among other countries are now set to face tariffs of 25% starting August 1 according to Trump's latest post on his social platform, Truth Social. Japan's Nikkei rose 0.26% on Tuesday, South Korea's Kospi Index ended the day up 1.81%, China's CSI index rose 0.84% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 1.09%.The local market closed Tuesday's session flat as investors were shocked by the RBA's surprise rate hold announcement whereby Australia's cash rate will remain at 3.85% for the next period amid global uncertainty on the tariff front and Australia's tight labour market. RBA governor Michele Bullock said Australia's central bank is really conscious of not wanting to end up with a fight against inflation again and they want to make sure they have ‘nailed' inflation before cutting again.Following the RBA's shock rate hold on Tuesday afternoon, the ASX dipped but recovered just before the closing bell with staples and utilities stocks taking the biggest hit, while tech and communication services offset some of the losses.Some broker moves sparked stock reactions yesterday with South32 (ASX:S32) sliding almost 2% after Goldman Sachs cut its outlook on the company to Neutral while Domino's Pizza (ASX:DMP) rallied over 2% after UBS upgraded the stock to a buy, and Guzman Y Gomez (ASX:GYG) fell 4% after JPMorgan initiated coverage on the stock on Monday with an underweight rating. What to watch today:On the commodities front this morning, oil is trading 0.7% higher at US$68.40/barrel, gold is down 0.92% at US$3306/ounce and iron ore is up 0.35% at US$95.55/tonne.The Aussie dollar has strengthened against the greenback to buy 65.31 US cents, 95.77 Japanese Yen, 48.12 British pence and 1 New Zealand dollar and 9 cents.And ahead of the midweek trading session here in Australia the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the day down 0.08%.Trading ideas:Bell Potter has increased the 12-month price target on Cobram Estate Olives (ASX:CBO) from $1.95 to $2.35 and maintain a hold rating on the olive oil producer following the company's provision of a FY25 production and earnings guidance update. CBO expects production to come in below BPe but EBITDA expectations of $115m top BPe of $113m.Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on Lycopodium (ASX:LYL) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 99-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from the close of $11.29 to the range of $12.50 to $12.80 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

The dollar is garbage! This may sound like an overstatement, but the dollar index fell by over 10 percent through the first half of 2025, the sharpest decline since 1973. In this episode of the Money Metals Midweek memo, host Mike Maharrey explains why he thinks the dollar is "garbage," or "unattractive as Swiss investment bank UBS analysts put it. He highlights some of the reasons for de-dollarization and explains what's replacing the greenback. He also explains the practical impact of dollar devaluation.
The nearly 15% euro-dollar rally in 1H was fueled largely by dollar weakness and a potentially bullish cyclical case for the euro — especially expectations for a supportive fiscal and monetary policy mix — which may continue to support the outlook into 2H. Bloomberg Intelligence's Chief G10 FX Strategist Audrey Childe-Freeman talks to Constantin Bolz, head of G10 FX for UBS' Chief Investment Office, about how evolving euro-area and US fiscal and monetary policy may help euro-dollar strength into 2H and beyond, depending on how the US economic story plays out. They also discuss the de-dollarization trend and how the SNB could address the challenge of an appreciating franc.

When Amee Devani watched her mother battle colorectal cancer in Kenya, she witnessed firsthand the stark reality of healthcare inequity. That experience would reshape her entire career trajectory—from investment banking at UBS to founding a digital health startup that's revolutionizing how hospitals manage post-acute care. "I faint when they take my blood," Amee admits with characteristic candor. Yet today, as CEO and Co-founder of WellBeam, she's tackling one of healthcare's most persistent problems: the black box of care that swallows patients after hospital discharge. This conversation with host Laurie McGraw reveals how a chance meeting on a Stanford cycling training ride led to a partnership that's now bridging the dangerous gap between acute and post-acute care. Amee and her co-founder Pascal—both Kenyans who met thousands of miles from home—shared more than a homeland. They shared mothers fighting cancer and a determination to fix a broken system. What started as rejected startup ideas in Stanford surgeons' offices evolved into WellBeam after one crucial conversation with pancreatic surgeon Dr. Brendan Visser. His frustration was clear: exceptional inpatient care followed by total blindness once patients left the hospital. Fax machines. Phone tag. Patients bouncing back to the ER before anyone knew there was a problem. Now, WellBeam serves as the critical infrastructure connecting hospital EMRs with home health, hospice, and skilled nursing facilities. The result? A 20-30% reduction in readmissions and millions in recovered revenue for physicians doing work they couldn't previously bill. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Amee also discusses: The unexpected value of "having too much fun" at Cambridge and how it shaped her leadership approach Why she left the prestige of investment banking and consulting to work out of a shoebox office in London How catching the "startup bug" at Pavegen prepared her for the healthcare innovation journey The importance of building a village of mentors, especially as a female founder in healthcare Why healthcare's biggest problems aren't glamorous—and why that's exactly where innovation is needed Navigating slow healthcare sales cycles while maintaining startup momentum Leading as a new mother and CEO: ruthless prioritization and trusting your team Chapter Markers 00:54 - Introduction & Background 04:17 - The Stanford Connection & Finding a Co-founder 07:13 - WellBeam's Origin & Solution 11:28 - Business Model & Market Approach 14:06 - Leadership as a Female CEO & New Mother 21:39 - Advice for Aspiring Female Founders Guest & Host Links Connect with Laurie McGraw on LinkedIn Connect with Amee Devani on LinkedIn Connect with Inspiring Women Browse Episodes | LinkedIn | Instagram | Apple | Spotify
Overview:In this episode, Ryan and Brian return after a brief hiatus to dive into the topic of breaks in Scripture—chapter, verse, paragraph, and section breaks—and how these editorial additions impact the way we read and interpret the Bible. They discuss the historical origins of these breaks, their purpose, and how they can sometimes obscure the original flow of the text. Using examples from John, Matthew, Isaiah, Philippians, and Colossians, they highlight “bad breaks” and offer practical strategies for reading Scripture more holistically.Key Topics Discussed:Life Updates:Brian shares his experience at Northern Seminary, meeting his doctoral cohort, and taking a class with Matthew Bates, author of Gospel Allegiance and Beyond the Salvation War. Bates has promised to join the podcast in July.Ryan discusses his ongoing classes, including a deep-dive exegetical study of Philippians, which inspired this episode's topic.Both hosts have been busy with school, leading to a brief podcast break, but they're excited to be back.Historical Context of Breaks in Scripture:New Testament: Originally written without breaks, punctuation, or chapters, using conjunctions like kai (and) and de (but) to structure sentences.Old Testament: Some books, like Psalms, had natural breaks, but most chapter breaks were added in the 13th century by Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury. Verses were introduced in the late 16th century, with the Geneva Bible (c. 1607) being the first to include them.Purpose: Chapters and verses were added to make referencing easier (e.g., John 3:16), but they can sometimes disrupt the text's flow.King James Version (1611): Early adoption of chapter and verse divisions, which explains why some verses are “missing” in modern translations due to improved textual criticism.Types of Breaks and Their Impact:Chapter Breaks: Can seem arbitrary, as humorously attributed to Langton's “horseback” decisions.Paragraph Breaks: Editorial decisions in Greek texts (e.g., Nestle-Aland 28, UBS 5) and English translations (e.g., NIV) that vary and affect interpretation.Section Breaks: Headings in modern Bibles, added by editors, can influence how readers group and understand passages.Examples of “Bad Breaks” in Scripture:John 20:24-31 (Doubting Thomas):A section break after verse 29 separates Thomas's story from the Gospel's purpose statement (verses 30-31). Reading them together shows Thomas as a negative example, encouraging readers to believe without seeing, based on reliable testimony.Key Insight: Section headings can disconnect related thoughts, obscuring the author's intent.Matthew 24-25 (Jesus' Teaching on the Second Coming):The chapter break between 24:51 and 25:1 disrupts a continuous teaching about faithfulness and preparedness. The parable of the virgins (25:1-13) logically follows the servant parable (24:45-51).Key Insight: Chapter breaks can fragment unified discourses, missing the broader context.Isaiah 52:13-53:3 (Suffering Servant):The chapter break between 52:15 and 53:1 splits the introduction of the servant (52:13-15) from the description (53:1-3), which is part of the same discourse.Key Insight: Reading across chapter breaks reveals the full context of familiar passages.Philippians 1:12-15 (Paul's Chains):A chapter break at verse 15 disconnects Paul's discussion

Der Dow Jones stieg am Dienstag um 305 Punkte bzw. 0,7 Prozent, der S&P 500 legte ebenfalls 0,7 Prozent zu, der Nasdaq gewann 1 Prozent. Die Märkte profitierten von fallenden Ölpreisen – US-Rohöl verlor über 4 Prozent, nach einem Rückgang von über 7 Prozent am Vortag. Auch Brent-Öl gab deutlich nach. Fluggesellschaften wie United, Frontier und Delta legten mehr als 2 Prozent zu. Tech-Werte wie Broadcom und Nvidia stiegen um 4 bzw. 2 Prozent, getragen von zunehmender Risikobereitschaft. Auslöser war der von Präsident Trump verkündete Waffenstillstand zwischen Israel und dem Iran. Zwar werfen sich beide Seiten Verstöße vor, doch Trump betonte, das Abkommen sei weiter in Kraft. UBS erklärte, geopolitische Spannungen hätten meist nur begrenzte Wirkung auf die Märkte – solide Fundamentaldaten seien entscheidend. Fed-Chef Jerome Powell sprach vor dem Kongress und signalisierte Zurückhaltung bei Zinssenkungen. Die Notenbank wolle zunächst die wirtschaftlichen Folgen von Trumps Zollpolitik abwarten. Zinssenkungen könnten ab Juli möglich sein, wie zwei Fed-Vertreter andeuteten.

In this powerhouse episode of The Voice of Retail, I sit down with Sharon Gai, an international keynote speaker, AI expert, former Alibaba executive, and recent keynote speaker on the stage at the Retail Council of Canada's STORE2025, for an illuminating conversation on the future of retail in the age of artificial intelligence. Joining from São Paulo, Sharon offers a global lens on how retailers must rethink customer engagement, merchandising, and data infrastructure to remain competitive. We begin by tracing Sharon's fascinating origin story—from her Canadian roots in Vancouver and her education at McGill to an unexpected recruitment by Alibaba. She takes us behind the curtain of Chinese tech culture, describing a world of intense work ethics, hyper-growth, and an ecosystem where AI doesn't just support retail—it drives it. Sharon explains how AI has evolved beyond personalization into what she calls "agentic AI"—systems that not only predict behaviour but act on a shopper's behalf. She warns that retailers who don't maintain pristine product data and detailed PDPs (Product Detail Pages) risk being invisible in LLM-powered answer engines like ChatGPT or Claude. We delve into the differences between Chinese and Western retail, highlighting trends such as the viral "blind box" concept and video commerce that thrive in digital-first cultures. Sharon also shares her learnings from a cross-cultural brand project with Huggies, emphasizing the power of creativity, unpredictability, and localized storytelling.The episode also features insight into a recent Retail Council of Canada panel Sharon led, with Canadian Tire's chatbot innovation and Showcase's trend-driven merchandising model serving as prime examples of AI-enabled transformation at home.Sharon leaves listeners with practical advice: embrace AI not just for customer-facing features but also as a powerful internal tool for cost-cutting and productivity. And beware of the trap of sameness—when everyone is using AI to write duplicate emails and social posts, true differentiation comes from creativity and strategic insight.Whether you're a retail exec, digital strategist, or tech-curious brand builder, this episode delivers a rich, global perspective on what's next for commerce—and what it takes to stay ahead.https://youtu.be/0zdLv0mz29YSharon Gai helps organizations do more with less using AI. In her tenure at Alibaba, she advised brands and heads of state in crafting their digital strategy with programmatic marketing and AI. She has worked with TEDx, Singularity University, UBS, Deloitte, Walmart, LVMH, Nestle, Coca Cola, Lenovo, and many others. She is in the AAE list of Top Keynote Speakers in 2023. She has appeared on Bloomberg, Reuters, ABC, CBC, CCTV, TechCrunch, Retail Asia, Wired, and The Next Web. She is the author of the book, Ecommerce Reimagined. Sharon has an Honors Bachelor's degree in International Development from McGill and a Masters in Information Management from Columbia University.

Note from Jeannine: So, this is a pretty big one for me. In 2020, while my studio was closed, I started manically listening to various podcasts every day looking for motivation and insight. One morning while sitting on the floor of our strength room, I heard the story of The Coffee Bean, as told through Clemson coach, Dabo Sweeney. The origins of that story begin in a jail cell in Texas - with today's guest. Interviewing him and telling him the impact his story had on me was a very cool experience and a reminder to me that my Higher Power is always working in my life...even when I can't see it. Special thank you to Dave from Dopey for connecting me with Damon. Enjoy!Episode description:Today Jeannine interviews Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice. Damon is a college professor, internationally known keynote speaker and 3 x Wall Street Journal bestselling author. His bestselling business book, The Coffee Bean: A Simple Lesson to Create Positive Change, was listed by Forbes' in the “Top Twenty Books You Need to Read to Crush 2020.”His autobiography, The Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life in Prison Transformed His World, vividly tells how he transformed the pot of boiling water that is a Texas maximum-security prison into a pot of coffee.At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury. He turned to hardcore drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress, was a national fundraiser on a U.S. Presidential campaign and eventually trained to be a stockbroker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit.After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire audiences today.Damon shares his story of how his first use of meth escalated into homelessness in 18 months, including all manner of tweaker hijinks, including a mail man hustle and stealing a car from the Texas Rangers police impound. We talk recovery, resentments, rebuilding after incarceration and never letting dreams die. Let me know what y'all think!Connect with Damon on InstagramDM me on InstagramMessage me on FacebookListen AD FREE & workout with me on Patreon Connect with me on TikTokEmail me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

Je leest het toch echt goed. Realityster Kim Kardashian komt voorbij deze aflevering. Zij moet namelijk beursbedrijf Nike gaan redden, maar die reddingspoging wordt vertraagd. Fed-baas Jerome Powell moet op zijn beurt de rente verlagen (van Trump), maar doet dat niet. Maar er is niet alleen slecht nieuws voor de Amerikaanse president, maar ook voor jou als belegger. Wat dat is, dat hoor je deze aflevering. Dan hoor je ook meer over het dramatische jaar voor Randstad. Dat is na vandaag een stukje erger geworden en dat heeft te maken met een concurrent. Die verpest het voor Randstad..Shell verpest op zijn beurt dan weer de overnamefantasie van BP. Shell lijkt niet geïnteresseerd in de concurrent. Maar sluit overnames dan weer niet uit. Verder hebben we het over Microsoft. Dat geeft zo veel geld uit aan kunstmatige intelligentie, dat andere onderdelen nu getroffen worden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
