Judas Roll? Trump Fans May Have Misread Jelly Roll All Along

For many years Jelly Roll has had a valuable place in American culture.

Although he was a Christian he was unconventional; though from the South he was difficult to stereotype. He hunted, talked frankly about prison and addiction, shook Donald Trump’s hand and had built one of country music’s most emotionally loyal audiences without firmly aligning himself with either political party.

0

There are valid grounds for millennials to believe that the economic ladder was pulled higher just as they were about to reach it, since home prices are extremely high in relation to income, college costs rose faster than inflation over many decades, and a large number of them entered the labour market either during or after the Great Recession.

Yet a gap exists between stating that the millennials experienced a more severe financial environment and attributing it to the Baby Boomers having caused it.

A lawsuit filed in Manhattan has suddenly turned into a multibillion-dollar issue for India’s largest bank in the private sector. On Thursday HDFC Bank reached a new low for the past 52 weeks and the real problem goes beyond the disputed payments of ₹45 crore.

America’s $118.8 Billion Goods Trade Deficit Just Sent a Tariff Warning

A basic promise underlying America’s aggressive policy of imposing tariffs is to reduce imports, increase domestic production, and thus start to narrow the huge trade imbalance which has characterized the U.S. economy over the decades.

Advance data released on Thursday, August 27, show that the U.S. goods trade deficit reached $118.8 billion in July, which is an increase from the revised figure of $101.4 billion recorded in June.

What Did Jane Street and Citadel Notice That Caused the AI Trading to Become Suddenly Too Risky?

0

Two of the most sophisticated trading firms on Wall Street have dealt with the same artificial intelligence shock in quite different manners.

In July Jane Street suffered a loss of about $15 billion when its investments in the AI-oriented hedge fund Situational Awareness and in other technology-related positions were hit by a sudden market reversal. Citadel, by contrast, purchased a large part of Situational Awareness’s distressed public-equity portfolio, allegedly at discounts that went beyond 10 per cent, before quickly getting rid of more than 80% of the risk it had taken on.

India Is About to Put Corporate Bonds on the Blockchain

India is about to carry out a test which could in the end lead to a change in the way that money and securities move through one of the world’s largest financial markets.

REC, a state-owned power finance company, is anticipated to launch India’s first tokenised corporate bonds in September by employing blockchain technology to record ownership and enabling the bonds to be bought using the Reserve Bank of India’s wholesale digital rupee. As reported by Reuters on the planned issuance, the pilot scheme will cover bonds with a value of less than ₹5 billion, or about $57 million.
