Bessent says Japan 'behind the curve' in monetary tightening, in Bloomberg interview
TOKYO (Reuters) -U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Japan is being late in handling monetary tightening during an interview with Bloomberg Television. Bessent also said that U.S. Treasury yields are feeling the impact of overseas developments, including from Japan and Germany. "There's definitely leakage from — the Japanese have an inflation problem," Bessent said in the interview. Bessent mentioned that he had spoken with Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda. "My opinion, not his — they're behind the curve. So they're going to be hiking," he added. The U.S. Federal Reserve should lower the policy interest rate at least by 1.5%, Bessent also said, suggesting the central bank execute the rate cut by 50 basis points in September.

DC to wake up to troops deployed along the National Mall
President Donald Trump's plan to address crime in Washington, D.C., calls for deploying federalized National Guard troops along the National Mall overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning, according to a person familiar with the effort. The idea is that residents and tourists would awake to the sight of a significant military presence, the person said. The deployment of troops along a relatively safe and quiet stretch of Washington, D.C. -- known for museums, monuments and hot dog vendors serving tourists -- is extraordinary. MORE: Trump to seek 'long-term' extension of federal control of DC police The law grants a president the power to active the National Guard to protect federal personnel and property, such as in the case of the inauguration or the Jan. 6, 2021, riots. A president also has the power to mobilize troops in times of extraordinary crisis as was done in 1992 during the Los Angeles riots. But it was unclear what Thursday's show of military might on U.S. soil would achieve, other than a spectacle for tourists and school groups on summer vacation. Army officials said their mission was to aid law enforcement with logistics support, transportation and administration duties, as well as being visible around the Mall. "That's part of our assignment -- to go to the national monuments and be present," Col. Dave Butler, an Army spokesperson, told ABC News on Tuesday. A White House official told reporters on Wednesday to expect a "significant" presence on the ground Wednesday night. According to the person familiar with the plan, the presence of Guard troops would begin ramping up overnight and continue until Thursday. MORE: National Guard troops told to maintain presence near National Mall as part of Trump's anti-crime mission Trump announced Monday that he planned to mobilize 800 National Guard troops to address what he considered "out of control" crime in the city, as well as taking over control of the police department. Officials said a joint task force, led by Army Col. Larry Doane, will run the operation. While the task force is expected to include 800 activated National Guard members, D.C. residents won't see that many on the streets. The troops will work in shifts of 100 to 200 troops at a time, and some of them will be assigned to administrative or logistical roles in support of local law enforcement. The task force overseeing the activated Guard troops will operate similarly to how the D.C. Guard has handled inaugurations or responding to crises, as it did during the Jan. 6 riots. The National Park Service will play a considerable role because of its oversight of the National Mall, officials said.

US bankruptcies are surging past 2020 pandemic levels
The US economy appears to be on a solid footing, but there's some pain beneath the surface. Corporate bankruptcies this summer have surged to their highest levels since 2020. The list for July filings includes names such as Del Monte Foods and LifeScan Global. Some beloved 1990s and 2000s brands were among the companies to file for bankruptcy this summer, continuing a troubling trend that hints at pain beneath the surface of the US economy. Shop Top Mortgage Rates A quicker path to financial freedom Personalized rates in minutes Your Path to Homeownership Forever 21 and Joann's are among the companies that filed for bankruptcy recently, with many famous retailers closing stores and reducing their physical footprint. Data from S&P 500 Global shows that this summer, US corporate bankruptcy filings surged to their highest level since 2020, with 71 public and private companies filing for bankruptcy last month. That's an increase from June, when 63 companies filed for bankruptcy. Despite a strong stock market and 3% economic growth in the second quarter, some once-prominent names reported hard times in July, citing difficult economic conditions. "Companies are contending with elevated interest rates as uncertainty from US tariff policy pressures costs and supply chain resilience," S&P 500 Global said. Canned goods producer Del Monte Foods, for example, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, noting declining demand and high inventory costs. Leadership also cited a heavy debt burden. Del Monte had combined debts of between $1 billion and $10 billion, Business Insider reported last month. While the August numbers have not been reported yet, a few prominent companies have already filed for bankruptcy, including fashion retailer Claire's. The retailer submitted its second Chapter 11 filing on August 6, also citing declining demand and high interest rates. That puts it in the same category as Forever 21, Rite Aid, and Party City, all once-popular retail chains that have filed for bankruptcy and closed locations in 2025.
