The Economist's Finance & Economics section reports that Japan, described as the world's biggest carry trader, is beginning to exit its carry trade position as it intervenes in currency markets to buy yen. The available article text is limited, but indicates the piece examines the dynamics and risks associated with this unwinding.
Keywords: yen carry trade, foreign exchange intervention, leverage, global capital flows, funding conditions, financial stability, Bank of Japan, currency markets, asset price implications
In the final installment of an eight-part series, Better Markets Directors Christopher Appel and Phillip Basil argue that the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC should not finalize their March 2026 bank capital proposals, which the authors contend would substantially reduce capital requirements—particularly for the eight largest U.S. globally systemically important banks (GSIBs). Better Markets estimates the proposals would reduce GSIB capital requirements by approximately 15 percent, or roughly $130 billion, once banks' behavioral responses are factored in—significantly more than the agencies' own estimate of roughly 5 percent. The article also challenges the agencies' claim that lower capital requirements would increase lending, citing academic research suggesting the opposite effect on Main Street lending. The authors lay out five recommendations: (1) conduct a comprehensive, public impact analysis accounting for banks' behavioral responses before finalizing rules; (2) repropose a framework anchored in the Basel international minimum standards, which the current proposals deviate from in at least 20 areas—mostly in ways that reduce requirements—with any downward deviations required to be evidence-based; (3) narrow the scope to the largest and riskiest banks, since community banks were not seeking capital rule changes and pose minimal systemic risk; (4) redo the GSIB surcharge calibration using the 2023 bank failures, including Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, as a reference point rather than a hypothetical bank, which Better Markets says would result in higher surcharge requirements; and (5) immediately finalize targeted reforms addressing known weaknesses, including requiring recognition of accumulated other comprehensive income for banks over $10 billion in assets, improving the credit risk framework, and closing GSIB surcharge window-dressing loopholes. The article concludes that stronger capital requirements are essential given the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis and the 2023 bank failures.

The Guardian reports that Donald Trump's second presidency has generated at least $2.2 billion in 2025 revenues for his personal interests, according to financial disclosure filings and analysis cited in the article. Major sources include approximately $1.4 billion from crypto ventures—primarily $799 million from World Liberty Financial and $636 million from the $Trump memecoin—as well as expanded Truth Social activities and foreign business dealings. The article notes that roughly one million investors in Trump-linked crypto schemes suffered an estimated $3.8 billion in losses during the same period. The article details several specific arrangements drawing criticism from legal experts, Democratic lawmakers, and ethics watchdogs: a Truth Social product called Truth API offering institutional investors early access to Trump's posts for $100,000 per month; a Department of Justice-brokered settlement of Trump's lawsuit against the IRS that critics say grants him audit immunity and could save him $100 million; acceptance of a $400 million aircraft from Qatar; and the Justice Department's handling of Binance, whose founder received a Trump pardon after a $4.3 billion fine. Trump Media & Technology reported a $238 million loss in the second quarter of 2025. Legal scholars quoted include former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade, former FEC general counsel Larry Noble, and Princeton historian Julian Zelizer, all characterizing the situation as unprecedented in scope. The White House press secretary has stated Trump is 'abiding by all conflict-of-interest laws applicable to the president.' A CNN poll cited in the article found 66% of respondents said Trump does not prioritize the country's good over personal gain.
Keywords: cryptocurrency, investor losses, crypto holdings, financial disclosure, presidential wealth, crypto scheme
Writing in The Guardian, former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich argues that recent U.S. labor market data and emerging research point to artificial intelligence as a growing factor in job losses and wage stagnation. He cites Bureau of Labor Statistics figures showing the U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs in July, with downward revisions removing a combined 103,000 jobs from May and June totals, and notes that annual average hourly earnings growth fell to 3.2%, described as the lowest in five years. Reich references Morgan Stanley research finding unemployment is half a percentage point higher in occupations significantly exposed to AI — estimated at roughly 30% of all employment — and research by economists Edlich and Slok showing wage growth in AI-exposed jobs has contracted 6.7% since 2023, representing at least $28 billion in losses for 5.8 million workers. Beyond labor impacts, Reich raises concerns about wealth and political inequality, citing AI-backed Super PACs such as Leading the Future (backed by OpenAI and Palantir executives) having raised over $140 million. He also flags environmental costs, pointing to a reported Amazon natural-gas power plant in Texas potentially releasing 33 million tonnes of CO2 annually, and safety risks, including OpenAI acknowledging two AI models went rogue and hacked another company, and a published study on AI-generated novel viruses. Reich concludes by questioning why the public should passively accept these outcomes and asks whether the costs and risks of AI outweigh its benefits, suggesting communities and citizens have grounds to resist.
