A reversal on the crypto markets over the past 24 hours saw 4% knocked off total market capitalisation, bringing combined value down to US$1.12tn. The dip comes on the back of comments from the US central bank suggesting further interest rate hikes are on the way. Bitcoin encountered low-single-digit losses and was unable to maintain the key US$24,000 level, whereas Ethereum fell back around 5% as it too was unable to sustain US$1,900. Among the day's biggest fallers were the US$1.4bn EOS blockchain and Mina Protocol blockchains, which both lost over 10% of their market capitalisations. Red candlesticks mounted across most of the large-cap blockchain networks, with Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche and Polygon all dropping between 5% and 10%. Binance's US$50bn BNB coin performed slightly better with under 5% in losses chalked up. Total volumes across the decentralised finance (DeFi) space lost nearly 2%, bringing the figure down to US$65.1bn. Lido and Curve performed particularly poorly, having lost over 9% on the markets. CEL token was one of the few bullish cryptocurrencies, as the #CelShortSqueeze Twitter activists rallied in support of the bankrupt Celsius platform.

The United States Federal Reserve has raised interest rates for the first time since 2018, as it tries to cool inflation, which is running at the highest level in 40 years. The Chair of the central bank, Jerome Powell, said the implications of the Russian invasion were "highly uncertain", pointing to the risk of disruption to supply chains. Also today, we look at details of the French government's plan to ease the economic impact of the war in Ukraine.

The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a quarter percentage point and signaled hikes at all six remaining meetings this year, launching an aggressive campaign to tackle the fastest inflation in four decades even as risks to economic growth mount. The hike is likely the first of several to come this year, as the Fed said it “anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate. In The Straits Times' The Big Story, Assistant video Editor Olivia Quay spoke to Selena Ling, chief economist and head of treasury research and strategy at OCBC Bank to find out how this move might have an impact on Singapore's interest rates.

If you are like most people, your goal in life is to be happy. And contrary to what some believe, money is NOT the key to happiness. So what is? Research shows that one of the biggest factors to increase happiness is living a life of purpose. What does that mean? What if you could… Stop living in the past and feel hopeful about the future? Take charge of your life instead of letting life happen to you? Know exactly why you're here now and what you're meant to do next? Own your value and contribution at this stage of your life? Wake up every morning excited to face the day? Show up with passion and confidence? That's how you feel when you know your life's purpose. And research shows having a clear sense of purpose helps us live longer, healthier, more fulfilled lives. That's why I was excited to hear my friend and colleague, Midlife Empowerment Coach Hélène Stelian, is sharing her tested and proven Purpose Formula in her brand-new training Proven Purpose Formula: A Masterclass for Women 40+ Seeking Clarity and Direction in the Second Half Save my seat!

US stocks treaded water overnight, with trading cautious ahead of the US Central bank's decision on interest rates. Although US rates are expected to remain on hold at 0.25%, the world is awaiting to see what the Fed will say about inflationary concerns, which have been pushing up safe haven bonds, to a year high.  What to watch todayYesterday the local share market gained 0.8%, with most sectors making gains yesterday but Mining and Energy.Today, the Aussie share market could lose half of yesterday's gain and fall 0.4% - if the futures are correct. Keep an eye on tech stocks: Afterpay (ASX:APT) just launched a new sales campaign. Auckland Airport (ASX:AIZ) announced traffic numbers for February, with traffic falling 71%. AIZ traders think the worst is over and its shares are in a technical share price break out suggesting its stock could grow further following 6 days of gains. The small frequently traded lithium company Lake Resources (ASX:LKE) announced it has the ability to potentially increase lithium production.Separately commodity screens were quiet: Gold, Silver, Copper and Oil didn't move much from the prior session.The iron ore spot price sank almost 6% seeing BHP and Rio in New York fall. So you might have your day to top up iron stocks today. Trading ideas:After PointsBet Holdings (ASX:PBH) rose about 4% yesterday, Bell Potter reiterated the stock as a Speculative Buy with a $20.55 target. De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG), Sovereign Metals (ASX:SVM) and King Island Scheelite (ASX:KIS) are giving off bullish charting signals according to Trading Central

This episode is by request, and it's going to dive into a topic we haven't talked very much about on this show: How the astrological energy for now impacts you. I'll dive into the Human Design Chart for Now (a.k.a. Just Now Chart) and talk about why you need to know the energy of the chart plus how it impacts you. We'll also cover where you can create one so you can get started working with the energy of now. I'll also run through the Just Now Chart for Mon, Aug 24, 2020 at 10:19 am US Central time.

Annuities are something that people know are out there, may know a little about the basic framework but don’t know much more than that.Let’s dive into them for a moment before we go into:Recap of podcastsAnnuitiesMarket overviewUsing segregated funds for creditor protectionWe used to give negative equity mortgages not that long ago - we’re still really closeRecap of Podcasts: tkdale.com/podcastIntroduction of MillionDollarMortgage.com - Check out the bio film about me on the website!Leaning on resources - how to move quickly and bring in other team members to your finances.Estate planning and your portfolioReal Estate OpportunityIndividual Stocks vs FundsHedge Fund Strategies: Market NeutralHedge Fund Strategies: Merger ArbitrageAnnuities:Annuities are an insurance product that guarantees a stream of cash flows.Basically you pay a lump sum once upfront and then the insurance company will pay a predetermined amount every month. There are annuities which you can pay into over a number of years but we’ll use the lump sum version in this illustration.Your age and gender is a factor and if it is joint with your spouse their age and gender will be a determining factor too. These variables will affect how much income you can generate from the upfront payment (called a premium). The older you are, the less time the insurance company will have to pay the funds and as a result will provide more beneficial rates. This reduces their risk.Should you invest all of your money in an annuity? Usually no.Financial planning would dictate that you would use an annuity to cover off your required expenses. This acts like a bond portfolio.Growth and inflation can be factored in through a holding of stocks. If you want the estate benefits of an insurance policy then segregated funds might be a good way to go however if that is not a concern, and neither is creditor protection, then the growth and inflation can be gained through other avenues such as direct holdings in stocks, ETF’s and mutual funds.Will you lose all of your money if you die? You can often set up a survivor with an annuity and also have a death benefit so that remaining funds will be paid to a beneficiary.Do you have questions about annuities? Give me a call.Market Overview:The tale of two markets continues with the Canadian TSX (up 0.15% in July) lagging the US S&P500 (up 1.31% in July). Both markets had sell-offs on the last trading day which suppressed returns for the month. Economically speaking the data this month continued to push the importance of a US strategy.Major concerns remain to be trade uncertainty and tariffs that may hit corporate earnings more and that it causes business investment to continue to hold back. Corporate expected earnings had been adjusted downward and as companies continue to report, many are beating the lower bar that has been set for them. Many of the trade uncertainties have been priced in until a newsworthy event moves the markets.This month the US Central bank lowered rates as expected by 0.25% as an insurance policy against soft international economics but indicated that it was happy with the progr

You asked, we're delivering! In today's Listener Request episode, we scratch the surface on the world of handball. Jill and Alison talk with USA Team Handball captain Sarah Gascon about the sport and what is wrong with America because it doesn't have much visibility in our country (no, seriously--have you seen how exciting this sport is??). Once you've listened to Sarah, you can watch the basics explained by USA Team Handball. You can also watch Team USA compete this coming week at a Pan Am Qualifier against Canada. Both the US Men's and Women's teams will take on the Canadian National Teams this Sunday, September 2. The women's game is at 3pm, followed by the men's game at 5pm (all times US Central). USA Team Handball will be showing a livestream of the event on its Facebook page -- but if you live around Auburn University, you can watch the intensity in person at the Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum on Auburn University’s campus. Find out more about the event here. The series continues Wednesday, September 5, when the teams travel to Montreal for a rematch -- The winner gets to represent North America at the 2019 Pan American Games. This is a big deal because the Pan Am Games winner goes straight to the Tokyo Olympics, and 2nd-4th places play for another chance to get into the 2020 Games. Follow Sarah on Insta and Twitter -- you can also find her on our Team Olympic Fever Twitter list! If you're interested in learning how to play handball yourself, check out USA Team Handball's map of member clubs -- there might be one near you! In the second half of the show, Jill tells Alison what went down during the Sr. Women's Day 2 competition at the U.S. Gymnastics National Championships....or more of how disappointing the in-person experience was (save a fantastic seat neighbor). Still, there were some fantastic performances, and Jill dishes on her favorites. Photo courtesy of USA Team Handball.

During a recent trip to Nashville, Dr. Carlos Aleman caught up with Ben and Bob for a great discussion about the history of Nicaragua and US relations with Central America in the 20th Century. Carlos' expertise on this topic is both personal and professional; he was born in Nicaragua in 1979, immigrated to San Francisco, CA as a child, and earned his PhD in Latin American history from Michigan State University in 2012. In his interview, Carlos explains the history of Nicaraguan politics, the role the country played in the Iran-Contra scandal, and the ways these larger events affected his own road from Grenada, Nicaragua to Birmingham, Alabama, where he is currently an Assistant Professor of History at Samford University. The conversation also covers a variety of other topics, from Nashville-born William Walker who invaded Nicaragua, and proclaimed himself President of the country in the 1850s, to the state of immigration policy today. Recorded August 20th, 2016 in Nashville, TN w/ Bob via Skype from North Carolina. For more on The Road to Now, check out our website: http://www.theroadtonow.com/
