Chile Policymakers Say Quarter-Point Cut Was Only Option in July

Bloomberga day ago
Chile's central bank said a quarter-point interest rate cut was the 'only plausible option' at its most recent policy decision, according to the minutes to that meeting published on Wednesday.
The local economy had evolved largely in line with expectations, central bankers wrote in the minutes to the July 29 decision, when they cut borrowing costs to 4.75%. Several board members said the quarter-point reduction should not prompt 'any substantial change' in financial prices.

Paramount Skydance (PSKY) Soars 60% to New High. Time to Book Gains?

We recently published . Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) is one of the best-performing stocks on Wednesday. Paramount Skydance extended its rally to touch a new high on Wednesday, finishing up by 36.74 percent at $15 apiece, with a former hedge fund manager calling it a 'meme' stock. In a social media post, Mad Money host and former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer said Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) is a 'meme stock' given the company's small public float and unjustifiable rally amid the lack of fresh developments. Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) climbed by as high as 60 percent at intra-day trading to hit $17.53 before paring gains to finish slightly lower during the session. In recent news, the company bagged a new $7.7-billion deal to exclusively air the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on Paramount+ for seven years beginning in 2026. The deal would include UFC's full slate of 13 marquee numbered events and 30 Fight Nights through its direct-to-consumer streaming platform, Paramount+, with select numbered events to be simulcast on CBS. cellanr, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons As part of the agreement, Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) will move UFC away from the existing Pay-Per-View model and make the latter available at no additional cost to Paramount+ subscribers in the US. It also intends to explore UFC rights outside the US in the future.

Bitcoin Blasts Past $124K--Then Crashes Back to Earth After One Inflation Shock

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) surged past $124,000 overnight before sliding back to around $120,991 early Thursday, still up 0.6% in the last 24 hours. The move came as traders leaned into bets on Fed rate cuts and piled into digital assetsbut that momentum took a hit after U.S. wholesale inflation data came in hotter than expected. The Producer Price Index report for July raised fresh doubts about the Fed easing at its September meeting, and that single data point was enough to drain some of the euphoria from crypto markets. Altcoins felt the shift fast. Ether dropped 2.3% to $4,577, while Solana and XRP slid 2.9% and 5.1%, respectively. Dogecoin, the ever-volatile memecoin, tumbled 7.7%. With inflation reasserting itself, riskier bets across the board are back under the microscopeand crypto, still heavily sentiment-driven, could remain tethered to every economic release between now and the Fed's decision. If rates don't come down soon, the case for near-term upside in tokens like ETH and SOL gets a little murkier. On the equity side, crypto exchange Bullish is having a very different week. After soaring 84% in its IPO debut Wednesday, the stock was up another 8.5% premarket Thursday. Backed by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and hedge fund manager Louis Bacon, Bullish is getting attention as investors search for real businesses in the crypto ecosystem. That enthusiasm didn't extend to 180 Life Sciences. The Thiel-backed firm, which recently bought a large Ether stake and plans to rebrand as ETHZilla, dropped 28% in premarket tradingproof that bold pivots and meme-friendly tickers may not be enough in this market.
