This is Part 6 of Cold as ICE. This is a sample of a premium episode. Sign up to listen to the entire episode. patreon.com/wetwired We go over the ballooning Homeland Security budget and ICE's unprecedented expansion. None of this looks good for anyone in the US but as always with things like this the most vulnerable people are hit first and the hardest. Unsurprisingly and despite their positive comments, the real winners won't be Trump's supporters. It's the private contractors who are coming out on top. Companies like GEO Group and Core Civic are vacuuming up money as fast as the US Treasury can print it. All the while, DHS has been running a Blood and Soil ad campaign on social media.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday'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 in search of short-term riches, the Cook Islands is establishing itself as a haven base for deep sea mining, it be used by both great powers.But first, American mortgage applications rose last week with a modest +3.1% gain from the prior week attributed to a small fall in benchmark mortgage interest rates. It was the stronger +5% refinance activity that drove the modest gain rather than new home purchases.Those benchmark rates may keep falling. There was slightly softer demand for the latest overnight US Treasury 10yr Note auction, but the resulting median yield came in at 4.20%, down from 4.31% at the prior equivalent event a month ago. However the yield is up on more recent levels.Separately, the NY Fed monitoring of global supply chain pressure eased again in July.In Canada, they are seeing residential real estate markets operating like we see here. For example Toronto sales transactions are rising (+13% in July from a year ago), but prices falling (-5.4% on the same basis).The Reserve Bank of India kept its key policy rate at 5.50% during its August meeting, now holding a neutral stance, following a larger-than-expected -50 bps decrease in June. There were no surprises here and the rate remains at its lowest level since August 2022. Easing inflation and the recent US tariff challenges were key considerations.Meanwhile, the US has doubled its tariffs on India to 50% as 'punishment' for buying Russian oil. Interestingly it has boosted Modi's standing at home in India and brought bi-partisan support for him in resisting the US.In China, they have brought in a ¥3,600 yuan (NZ$845) per year child care subsidy for under threes, designed to boost household consumption and ease pressure on family budgets. Encouraging childbirth is probably the core motivation for this subsidy. It is just another is a broadening range of consumer subsidies China is rolling out to support its economy and build domestic demand.EU retail sales volumes impressed in an overnight data release for June. They were up +3.1% on a volume basis, the best increase since September 2024. German gains were particularly strong, up +4.8% on the same volume basis.But new German factory orders again disappointed in June, down -1.0% in volume terms. Although this was twisted by some lumpy 'large' orders. Excluding those, the change is a gain of +0.5% in volume terms. (Large-scale items include aircraft, ships, trains, military vehicles).Australia said living costs rose for all type of households in June. Over the past year, all LCIs rose between +1.7% and +3.1%, slowing from annual rises of between +2.4% and +3.5% to the March 2025 quarter. In the South Pacific, the Cook Islands is becoming a renegade state. Its deal with China allows the Chinese to use it as a base for deep sea mining. Now the US is keen to use it in the same way. These great powers see “one of the most promising regions for deep-sea mineral deposits.” These nations are keen to plunder as far away from themselves as possible.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.22%, up +2 bps from yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$3,374/oz, down -US$5 from yesterday.American oil prices have slipped back again, down another -50 USc to just under US$65/bbl with the international Brent price holding at just over US$67.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at 59.4 USc and up +40 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 91.3 AUc. Against the euro we are also unchanged at 51 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.1, up +20 bps.The bitcoin price started today at US$115,465 and up +1.6% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just under +/-0.9%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

Jahangir Aziz and Katie Marney discuss sluggish EM capital flows against a backdrop of trade uncertainty, risks to global growth, elevated treasury yields, and a weaker dollar. EM capital flows have been languishing and shifting in composition since about 2015. Hopes that a weaker US dollar would break EM capital flows out its malaise have not been fulfilled. We explore our finding that dollar's influence as a push factor for EM investment flows has been waning, while US Treasury yields matter more. EM also needs to offer a sufficient growth pick-up to pull in flows. We also discuss China's role as an attractor or substitute for broader EM capital flows. Greater macro stability for many EMs have also necessitated lower capital flows and enabled EM to face three big economic and funding shocks over the last 5 years.

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 the IMF says global growth is projected at 3.0% for 2025 and 3.1% in 2026, an upward revision from the April 2025 World Economic Outlook. This reflects front-loading ahead of tariffs, lower effective tariff rates, better financial conditions, and fiscal expansion in some major jurisdictions.But first, the overnight GDT Pulse dairy prices came in without the signaled drop in WMP prices by the derivatives market. In fact it rose +1% from the prior event. The SMP price however fell -1%. So in fact little net movement.And the Stockholm US-China tariff negotiations are to be extended, essentially ignoring the US imposed August 1 deadline. And the US-EU 'deal' wasn't 'done' as the Whitehouse claimed. More 'horse-trading' is being scheduled.The growth steam is slowly leaking from the Redbook retail index, up +4.9% last week from this time last year. Most of this will be goods inflation.US exports rose +3.4% in June from a year ago whereas US imports were up +0.3% on the same basis. That reduced their merchandise trade deficit to -US$87 bln and back to about where it was at the start of 2024. Without the +11% rise in aircraft exports there would have been little improvement.The number of job openings in the US fell by -275,000 from May to 7.4 mln in June, below market expectations of 7.55 mln. Their quit rate fell to a six month low. Expectations for the July non-farm payrolls are pretty modest at +110,000, taking them back to early 2025 levels.The latest Conference Board survey of consumer sentiment, for July, was little changed. But almost 19% of those surveyed indicated that jobs were hard to get in July, up from 14.5% in January. This group thought inflation was running at 5.8% currently, and is likely to go higher.There was a very well supported US Treasury bond auction overnight, for their seven year Note. But investors still wanted higher yields with the median coming in at 4.06%, up from 3.96% at the prior equivalent event a month ago.But expect rising pressure from the demand side. The US Treasury said during the July - September 2025 quarter, they expect to borrow US$1.007 tln in privately-held net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-September cash balance of US$850 bln - which may be optimistic. This new borrowing estimate is +US$453 bln higher than they announced in April so it is rising faster than even they expected, primarily due to the lower beginning-of-quarter cash balance and projected lower net cash flows.In Europe, the latest ECB survey of inflation expectations has them well contained, coming in at 2.6% for the year ahead, the lowest in four months. Policymakers there are not battling high inflation expectations.Later today, Australia will release its Q2 CPI inflation rate, expected to be 2.2% and down from the 2.4% in Q1-2025.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.33%, down -9 bps from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,327/oz, up +US$18 from yesterday.American oil prices have risen +US$2.50 at just under US$69/bbl with the international Brent price is now at just over US$72/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 59.6 USc and down -10 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -20 bps at 91.4 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 51.6 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.5, down another -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$117,725 and essentially unchanged (+US$61) from this time yesterday.

Hello, and welcome to episode 174 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, we look at US Treasury sanctions against a Houthi petroleum smuggling network and a clandestine North Korean IT worker network funding missile programmes. The UK's OFSI warned of rising sanctions evasion in the crypto sector, noting under-reporting and exposure to designated Russian, North Korean, and Iranian entities, while HM Treasury consults on streamlining civil sanctions enforcement. On money laundering, the EU's Cash Controls Regulation (EU) 2018/1672 was assessed as an efficient instrument against cross-border financial crime despite some challenges, and the Wolfsberg Group reaffirmed its commitment to a risk-based approach, emphasising proportionality and effectiveness. In bribery and corruption, a new UK-India trade deal includes comprehensive measures to combat bribery and promote transparency. For fraud, the SFO Director signalled a new era of aggressive corporate enforcement, leveraging new powers and technology for faster casework. Finally, the UK Government announced key research priorities to strengthen the fight against economic crime, and a major cybercrime forum administrator was arrested in Ukraine.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available by Monday at www.crimes.financial.

Crypto's privacy war isn't simmering anymore. It's blowing wide open. What began as a digital experiment has morphed into something closer to a modern-day Reformation. An uprising against centralized power, driven not by scripture, but by code. From Brussels to Washington, authorities are drafting their own theses. More KYC. Fewer privacy tools. A coordinated effort to strip anonymity from the system. But the crypto world isn't kneeling. For many, financial freedom means self-custody, not compliance. It means privacy by design, not by permission. As someone who has long followed this space and considers XRP one of the most fascinating and resilient projects in the ecosystem, I have watched these battles unfold with growing concern. This isn't just about coins or code. It is about whether digital privacy survives the crusade against it or gets excommunicated entirely. Why Crypto Was Always About Privacy When Bitcoin launched in 2009, it wasn't just about making money. It was a protest. A way to flip the script on centralized banks, bloated institutions, and the people who controlled your financial life. Crypto's early adopters were rebels. The ideas behind it? Pseudonymity, freedom from censorship, and control over your own funds. Privacy coins like Monero and Zcash weren't shady outliers. They were the purest version of the original dream. Self-custody wallets let people hold their own keys. No middlemen. No questions asked. It made sense for a movement born from libertarian roots, where freedom from surveillance was sacred. But that dream is now under threat. The threat is not from hackers, but from the very systems crypto tried to escape. Why Crypto Scares Governments Governments never like a system they can't watch or tax. That's where the friction started. The European Union rolled out its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, aiming for comprehensive oversight. The United Kingdom pushed its financial promotions regime, tightening the reins on crypto marketing. And the US Treasury? It's making aggressive moves to bring Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements to the forefront of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms. Their stated reasons sound reasonable: they want to stop money laundering, terrorism financing, and tax evasion. A critical distinction exists between fighting genuine crime and effectively criminalizing financial privacy for all. However, that line is indeed getting increasingly blurry. Crackdown measures against privacy coins are ramping up with alarming speed. Monero and Zcash, once mainstays, have been delisted from major exchanges as compliance pressures mount. Developers of privacy-focused wallets now face legal threats and increasing scrutiny. Even established tools like Wasabi Wallet are blocking users in certain regions, demonstrating the immediate impact of these regulatory shifts. Crypto's privacy tools are no longer merely innovative instruments; they have become targets in a broader regulatory crackdown, pushing the boundaries of individual financial freedom. The ongoing pressure is forcing the crypto ecosystem to adapt, often by compromising on the very privacy features that were once central to its appeal. KYC vs. DeFi: The Fight Over Self-Custody KYC means Know Your Customer. It's how banks check who you are, verifying identities to prevent illicit activities. However, in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, where no single entity controls the platform, the question of who performs this checking remains unanswered, much to the discomfort of regulators. Decentralized platforms like Uniswap lack a central off switch or a single point of control, making traditional enforcement mechanisms ineffective. Tornado Cash, for instance, did not simply vanish after sanctions were imposed; its code remained open-source and operational, a testament to the resilient nature of decentralization. This inherent characteristic makes enforcing KYC in DeFi incredibly challenging. It is also precisely wh...

Economists and policy advisers have said that it is a strategic necessity for China to further scale back holdings in United States government debt in order to safeguard national financial stability, amid waning confidence in the dollar-based system and persistent geopolitical tensions.经济学家和政策顾问表示,在对以美元为基础的体系的信心减弱和持续的地缘政治紧张局势下,中国进一步缩减对美国政府债务的持有是一种战略必要性,以维护国家金融稳定。To pursue a more balanced, controllable allocation of foreign exchange reserves, the country is also likely to increase investments in non-dollar assets, including financial instruments of its Asian trading partners and crucial resources such as gold, energy and food, they added.他们补充说,为了实现更平衡、更可控的外汇储备分配,中国还可能增加对非美元资产的投资,包括其亚洲贸易伙伴的金融工具以及黄金、能源和粮食等关键资源。Yu Yongding, an academic member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, called for China to continue reducing US government debt holdings in an orderly manner.中国社会科学院院士余永定呼吁中国继续有序减持美国国债。"The ideal approach would be to increase imports and utilize the excess foreign exchange reserves to purchase high-tech capital goods and strategic materials. This could require China to narrow its trade surplus, move toward a basic balance in the trade of goods and services, or even run a trade deficit for a while."“理想的做法是增加进口,利用多余的外汇储备购买高科技资本货物和战略物资。这可能需要中国缩小贸易顺差,实现商品和服务贸易的基本平衡,甚至在一段时间内出现贸易逆差。”"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We must closely monitor the US fiscal situation and prepare contingency plans to avoid being caught off guard," Yu said.余表示:“非常时期需要非常措施。我们必须密切关注美国财政状况,制定应急计划,避免措手不及。”。After stepping back from being the second-largest holder of US debt to third place in March, China further reduced its holdings of US Treasury securities in May by $900 million, to $756.3 billion, the lowest since February 2009, when the reading was $744.2 billion, according to the US Department of the Treasury.根据美国财政部的数据,中国在3月份从美国债务的第二大持有者退居第三位后,5月份进一步减少了9亿美元的美国国债持有量,至7563亿美元,为2009年2月以来的最低水平,当时该数字为7442亿美元。The reduction bucked the overall rebound of foreign holdings in US debt after a drop in April. Foreign holdings of US Treasury securities increased from April's $9.013 trillion to $9.046 trillion in May, with major US debt holders such as Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada increasing their holdings.这一减少抵消了外国持有的美国债务在4月份下降后的整体反弹。外国持有的美债从4月份的9.013万亿美元增加到5月份的9.046万亿美元,日本、英国和加拿大等主要美国债务持有者增加了持有量。Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said that China's holding cut in May—the third consecutive month of decrease despite other major holders' increased exposure—stems from a continued effort to optimize the structure of foreign exchange reserves.北京社会科学院副研究员王鹏表示,尽管其他主要持有者的敞口增加,但中国5月份的减持是连续第三个月下降,这源于持续优化外汇储备结构的努力。The aim is to reduce the risks of overreliance on US government debt and limit potential economic losses from geopolitical tensions, including the risk of asset freezes in the event of US sanctions, Wang said, adding that the move also reflects concerns about growing US fiscal deficits and uncertainty about the US economy.王表示,此举的目的是降低过度依赖美国政府债务的风险,并限制地缘政治紧张局势造成的潜在经济损失,包括在美国制裁的情况下冻结资产的风险。他补充说,此举也反映了人们对美国财政赤字不断增长和美国经济不确定性的担忧。Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, has pointed to the risks associated with the US dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency, saying last month that US fiscal and financial regulatory problems could spill over, while the dollar could be weaponized in geopolitical conflicts.中国央行中国人民银行行长潘功胜指出了美元作为全球储备货币的主导地位所带来的风险,他上个月表示,美国的财政和金融监管问题可能会蔓延,而美元可能会在地缘政治冲突中被武器化。Guan Tao, global chief economist at investment bank BOCI China, said there is no immediate risk of a US sovereign debt crisis, as market demand for US Treasuries remains strong, and US Treasury yields could fall if the US Federal Reserve cuts rates later this year. Bond yields move in the opposite direction of prices.投资银行中银国际中国(BOCI China)全球首席经济学家关涛(Guan Tao)表示,目前没有美国主权债务危机的风险,因为市场对美国国债的需求仍然强劲,如果美联储今年晚些时候降息,美国国债收益率可能会下降。债券收益率与价格走势相反。But the deeper concern, Guan said, is US debt's long-term sustainability. If US government debt keeps expanding without a path to stabilization, it will eventually trigger problems.但关表示,更令人担忧的是美国债务的长期可持续性。如果美国政府债务继续扩大而没有稳定的道路,最终将引发问题。Credit ratings agency Moody's downgraded the US credit rating to Aa1 in May, citing runaway deficits, while the US administration's massive tax-and-spending bill, effective this month, could intensify such concerns, as it is forecast to increase US federal deficits by more than $3 trillion over the next decade.信用评级机构穆迪在5月份将美国信用评级下调至Aa1,理由是赤字失控,而美国政府本月生效的巨额税收和支出法案可能会加剧这种担忧,因为预计未来十年美国联邦赤字将增加3万亿美元以上。Chen Weidong, director of the Research Institute of Bank of China, said, "As the third-largest holder of US Treasuries, China must build a multilayered, systematic strategy to guard against mounting risks tied to US sovereign debt and the dollar-based financial system.中国银行研究院院长陈卫东表示:“作为美国国债的第三大持有者,中国必须建立一个多层次、系统的战略,以防范与美国主权债务和以美元为基础的金融体系相关的日益增长的风险。"This is not only vital for China's financial security, but also has far-reaching implications for the evolution of the global financial order," Chen said, adding that China has cut its US Treasury holdings by over 40 percent since 2013.陈表示:“这不仅对中国的金融安全至关重要,而且对全球金融秩序的演变也有着深远的影响。”他补充说,自2013年以来,中国已将其持有的美国国债减少了40%以上。He said that key priorities for China going forward include gradually reducing US Treasury holdings, optimizing the dollar investment portfolio by allocating more to short-term securities, increasing non-dollar investments, and advancing renminbi internationalization.他说,中国未来的主要优先事项包括逐步减少美国国债持有量,通过将更多资金分配给短期证券来优化美元投资组合,增加非美元投资,以及推进人民币国际化。He also called for deepening financial cooperation within Asia—which together holds over 60 percent of global reserves in dollar-denominated assets—so that Asia can form an internal reserve circulation system and reduce its reliance on external markets.他还呼吁深化亚洲内部的金融合作,亚洲拥有全球60%以上的美元计价资产储备,这样亚洲就可以形成内部储备流通体系,减少对外部市场的依赖。China has been stepping up efforts to diversify its reserve assets. The country's official gold reserves rose for the eighth consecutive month to 73.9 million ounces at the end of June, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said.中国一直在加紧努力,使其储备资产多样化。国家外汇管理局表示,截至6月底,该国官方黄金储备连续第八个月增长至7390万盎司。consecutiven.连续不断的/kənˈsɛkjʊtɪv/dollar-denominatedn.以美元标价的/ˈdɒlə dɪˈnɒmɪneɪtɪd/

Dollar Dominance in a Fragile World with Emmanuel Daniel

Varn Vlog

What happens when the world's reserve currency faces a crisis of confidence, yet alternatives remain elusive? Emmanuel Daniel, author of "The Great Transition: The Personalization of Finance," offers a fascinating perspective on this paradox that defines our current global economic moment.The dollar's remarkable resilience stems from an unexpected source – American indifference. "The US doesn't care. And that's how the dollar became global," Daniel explains. With approximately 70% of dollars circulating outside American borders and about 130 countries maintaining trade surpluses with the US, the dollar has become the de facto medium of exchange worldwide. Despite numerous attempts to challenge this hegemony – from the euro to China's renminbi to BRICS initiatives – no viable alternative has emerged. The fundamental obstacle? Trust. Even BRICS nations don't sufficiently trust each other's treasuries to establish a shared currency.We're witnessing a profound economic transformation that extends beyond currency matters. Daniel describes our transition from a markets economy (defined by buyer-seller transactions) to a networked economy where value derives from function and participation. This shift helps explain phenomena like cryptocurrencies, which puzzle traditional investors precisely because they operate on network principles rather than market principles.Most fascinating is how digital innovation, particularly stablecoins, is actually extending rather than undermining dollar dominance. These predominantly dollar-based digital assets, backed by US Treasury bonds, create new channels for global dollar use. As traditional financial systems face digitization, the personalization of finance accelerates – putting more control in the hands of individuals rather than institutions.This great transition presents both challenges and opportunities. Countries embracing technological change can leapfrog development stages, while education systems emphasizing learning discipline over specific content better prepare students for an AI-driven future. Despite internal challenges, the US maintains its economic edge through innovation and adaptability.Ready to understand the forces reshaping our financial future?

On today's show we are looking at what the Fed could do that would cause a major increase in demand for US Treasuries. If the demand for Treasuries were to increase, the prices would rise and the market rate for those bonds would fall. The US Treasury would no longer be dependent on the interest rate guidance coming from the Federal Reserve. That could save hundreds of billions per year in interest costs for the US government.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

While European stocks had a subdued start yesterday, broader US indices managed to kick off the second half of 2025 firmly in the green, shrugging off concerns on the looming tariff ‘decision day' on 9 July. However, big tech mega caps dragged down the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. Talk of the day was the Senate's passing of the ‘Big, beautiful (tax) bill' as President Trump calls it, and a flurry of manufacturing activity reports from around the globe, which showed that this part of the economy keeps on facing challenges. Dario Messi, Head of Fixed Income Research, explains why he believes that the US Treasury yield curve is likely to steepen going forward.(00:00) - Introduction: Bernadette Anderko, Investment Writing (00:28) - Markets wrap-up: Roman Canziani, Head of Investment Writing (06:27) - Bond market update: Dario Messi, Head of Fixed Income Research (12:55) - Closing remarks: Bernadette Anderko, Investment Writing Would you like to support this show?

Valuation Distortions

Real Estate Espresso

On today's show we are talking about distorted valuations. When you consider risk, I'm seeing what I can only describe as an atmospheric inversion in today's markets. Wall Street surged toward new record highs on Thursday, as the S&P 500 briefly topped its February 19 closing high of 6,144.15, extending a nearly $10 trillion rally from the brink of a bear market.On today's show I'm going to compare the risk free yield on US Treasuries as a baseline benchmark. In some ways, every other investment could be compared to that benchmark. I'm not going to get into the debate whether the US is going to default on its debt in the next decade or not. For the purpose of today's discussion let's take it as a given that the US will meet its debt obligations even if that means expanding the annual deficit and the global debt. We know that will eventually break down, but let's accept the US Treasury as a foundation for now. The reason I'm proposing that is that the reference for all of these investment returns is the US dollar. If the dollar is in question, then the value of all the other investments that a dollar denominated could be called into question as well. That includes Nvidia, Amazon, Walmart, United Airlines and so on. So let's call the risk free rate of return the yield on the US 10 year treasury. Today the market opened at 4.25%, pretty much in lock step with the Fed Funds rate. So whether you buy a 30 T-bill or a 10 year bond, your risk free rate of return today is at 4.25%.The argument is that if another investment is offering a lower yield, then it is somehow a better investment than the risk free rate of return. Does that make sense that the S&P 500 index would be more expensive than the risk free rate of return? --------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)

They explore the bill's temporary business provisions, including TCJA 'orphan' fixes, and the evolving treatment of research expenses, bonus depreciation, and interest deductions. A major focus is Section 899—dubbed the 'super BEAT'—which targets foreign digital services taxes (DSTs), diverted profits taxes (DPTs), and Pillar Two's undertaxed profits rule (UTPR) with steep retaliatory measures. They also analyze the international negotiations around UTPR exemptions, the impact on treaty obligations, and the ongoing debate over treatment of US tax credits—particularly the R&D credit—under global minimum tax rules.

“You can't reset the gold price. It's global. No one nation can do that,” says Dr. Nomi Prins, international economist and investigative journalist.In an interview with Daniela Cambone, Prins unpacks the myths behind recent headlines claiming China is resetting the gold price. She clarifies that while China isn't resetting the price, it is making structural moves to reduce its reliance on the U.S. dollar and elevate gold's role in trade and settlement.“What China is doing is accumulating more gold in its reserves while it is selling US Treasury bonds,” she explains.Addressing the upcoming July 1 Basel III deadline, Prins notes that gold is already classified as a Tier 1 asset under current rules. However, it is not yet recognized as a High-Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) in the U.S. banking system.“The July 1st date matters, but the attribution to the date that's out there is mostly inaccurate,” she says, emphasizing that the Fed's decision remains uncertain.

Have any spare change? Do you still use cash and coins? The US Treasury Department and US Mint announced that it will stop making pennies after it runs out of the blank templates used to make the coins, saving the government $56 million a year in materials costs.  There is no indication that pennies will be taken out of circulation, only that new pennies will not be produced. This move should have no impact on electronic purchases - ACH, Wire, Debit, Credit, etc.  A few news articles on the subject: https://www.axios.com/2025/05/22/penny-coins-end-production-2026 https://www.axios.com/2025/05/24/treasury-penny-production-trump-shopping-change This issue is not unique to the United States. Canada, Australia and New Zealand stopped producing their penny-equivalents years ago. The cost to produce $0.01 is now approximately $0.0369 per penny, causing a loss to the US Mint of approximately $85.3 million.  And our other coins are similarly expensive to produce: $0.05 nickel costs $0.1378 per coin $0.10 dime costs $0.0576 per coin $0.25 quarter costs $0.1468 per coin It may be time to start using all those pennies we're currently saving in jars and piggybanks.
