In a July 23, 2026 post on his Substack, Michael J. Burry describes three stock purchases and discusses a report from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) on what he calls AI's 'rampant circular financing.' Burry frames his buying activity as a counter-trade to the widely popular 'Momentum Pair Trade,' a strategy used heavily by multi-strategy hedge funds ('pod shops') that simultaneously goes long on high-momentum stocks and shorts low-momentum ones. Burry describes his approach as effectively shorting the pod shops by going long on deep value stocks being depressed by the momentum trade. He highlights Hong Kong equities as an attractive area and discloses that he added to his existing long position in Tencent (0700 HK) at HK$448.60 per share. He references earlier posts — including a May 25, 2026 entry on volume indicators and a prior piece on Hong Kong stocks — for context on his second and third stock picks, which are not fully detailed in this installment.

US Senator Elizabeth Warren, the most senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, has sent a private letter to Barclays chair Nigel Higgins demanding answers about the bank's handling of ties between its former chief executive Jes Staley and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The letter, co-signed by Congress members Ro Khanna and Raja Krishnamoorthi and seen by the Guardian, gives Barclays two weeks to respond to questions about its executive hiring processes and whether it conducted meaningful due diligence into Staley's relationship with Epstein. Warren's letter criticises what she describes as Barclays's 'apparent failure to meaningfully investigate' those ties, pointing specifically to chair Higgins's admission that he did not ask Staley directly about his last contact with Epstein before declaring to the Financial Conduct Authority that contact had occurred 'well before' Staley joined the bank. The lawmakers also noted that Barclays's US operations hold approximately $200 billion in assets and warned that holding US banking licences is contingent on sound management and executive accountability. The letter was sent hours before Staley was due to testify in a closed-door House Oversight Committee hearing. Staley was banned from the UK financial sector after regulators found he had played down his relationship with Epstein; Barclays had vouched for his account in a 2019 letter to the FCA. A Barclays spokesperson said the regulator concluded the bank was misled by Staley and that new information has since emerged showing he misled Barclays and others about the nature of the relationship.

The Guardian reports on the wave of hosepipe bans now affecting more than 10 million people across England and Wales, imposed by Thames Water, Welsh Water, Anglian Water, Affinity Water, Southern Water, Cambridge Water, and South East Water amid record heat and low river levels. The article documents a range of public responses, from residents planning to defy the ban to those complying despite added inconvenience. A central focus is how the ban has become entangled in political and cultural conflict. Politicians including Suella Braverman and Kevin Hollinrake have criticised an exemption allowing some benefit claimants to continue hosepipe use. The article clarifies that the exemption, which dates to 1999, applies only to households on a priority services register meeting specific criteria—such as having three or more children, a qualifying medical condition, or a disability. Disability advocate Maddy Alexander-Grout explains practical reasons disabled people may need hosepipe access, including cooling mobility equipment and managing temperature-sensitive conditions, and situates the controversy within a broader pattern of rightwing campaigns targeting disability benefits schemes. The article also explores structural factors behind the shortage, including water companies losing nearly 3 billion litres a day through leaking pipes—five times what a nationwide ban could save—as well as the growing water demands of AI data centres. Water infrastructure expert Vanessa Speight attributes chronic under-investment to the economics of privatisation and says repairing ageing pipes would significantly reduce the need for future bans. The piece concludes with observations from a gardener on the Isle of Wight about the emotional toll on residents and the broader challenge of adapting gardens to an increasingly dry British summer.
