US Fed bank supervision chief takes buyout, email says
In the message to fellow Fed officials, Gibson also said deputy directors Jennifer Burns and Arthur Lindo had likewise decided to retire later this year.
"I understand that leadership transitions can be a time of uncertainty. However, I want to assure you that our organization is well-positioned to navigate these changes successfully," Gibson said.
The Federal Reserve declined to comment. Gibson's retirement was first reported by Bloomberg.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said in May that the central bank aimed to reduce its workforce by about 10% in coming years, aligning the bank with President Donald Trump's wider goal of shrinking the federal workforce.
Gibson joined the Federal Reserve in 1992 and was appointed chief of bank supervision in 2011. (Reporting by Niket Nishant in Bengaluru and Douglas Gillison in Washington; Editing by Maju Samuel and Matthew Lewis)

Air Canada union says flight attendants will continue strike; airline delays restart plan
Air Canada flight attendants said on Sunday they would remain on strike despite a government-backed labor board's order to return to work by 2pm ET (6pm GMT), calling the order unconstitutional. The Canadian Union of Public Employees said in a statement that members would remain on strike and invited Air Canada back to the table to "negotiate a fair deal." The airline said it would delay plans to restart operations from Sunday until Monday evening. On Saturday, the Canadian government under Prime Minister Mark Carney moved to end a strike by more than 10,000 flight attendants at the country's largest carrier by asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order binding arbitration. The CIRB issued the order, which Air Canada had sought, and unionised flight attendants opposed. The Canada Labour Code gives the government the power to ask the CIRB to impose binding arbitration in the interest of protecting the economy. The government, under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, intervened last year to head off rail and dock strikes that threatened to cripple the economy, but it is unusual for a union to defy a CIRB order. It was not immediately clear what options the government has if the union continues its strike. Air Canada had said it planned to resume flights on Sunday evening, following the expected end of the strike that caused the suspension of around 700 daily flights on Saturday, stranding more than 100,000 passengers. Air Canada flight attendants walked off the job on Saturday for the first time since 1985, after months of negotiations over a new contract. The union called a decision by the CIRB chair Maryse Tremblay to not recuse herself from handling the case a "staggering conflict of interest," since she had worked as a senior counsel for Air Canada in the past. According to Tremblay's LinkedIn profile, she served as Air Canada's counsel from 1998 to 2004. Air Canada, the CIRB, and a Canadian government spokesperson were not immediately available for comment. Other unions joined the flight attendants' picket line in solidarity in Toronto on Sunday. "They are in support here today because they are seeing our rights being eroded," said Natasha Stea, an Air Canada flight attendant and local union president. Air Canada had started cancelling flights on Thursday in anticipation of the stoppage. Travellers at Toronto Pearson International Airport said they were confused about whether their flights would resume or Air Canada would make alternative arrangements. "We are kind of left to figure it out for ourselves and fend for ourselves with no recourse or options provided by Air Canada at this time," said Elizabeth Fourney of Vancouver. The most contentious issue has been the union's demand for compensation for time spent on the ground between flights and when helping passengers board. Attendants are largely paid only when their plane is moving. CUPE had pushed for a negotiated solution, saying binding arbitration would take pressure off the airline. Air Canada said on Sunday that the CIRB had ordered the terms of the collective agreement between the union and the airline that expired on March 31 be extended until a new agreement can be reached.

US-China tariff truce eases pressure on UAE economy
With Washington and Beijing agreeing to extend trade negotiations until November 10, avoiding immediate tariff escalation, global markets are breathing a sigh of relief, and the UAE stands among the key beneficiaries, analysts say. The decision by the US and China to keep talks alive has tempered volatility in tech exports and the oil market, both of which are integral to the UAE's trade-linked economy. Lower external trade tension, coupled with contained UAE inflation at 2.4 per cent as of June 2025, is now paving the way for a potential 25 basis-point interest rate cut in September, in line with US Federal Reserve expectations. Market watchers believe such a move could provide a fresh boost to domestic growth momentum, especially in real estate and equities, two sectors already riding strong uptrends. The UAE MSCI index is trading above 20 and near decade highs, while the real estate sector maintains its safe-haven appeal, with the average transaction value hitting Dh2.7 million in the first half of 2025. Razan Hilal, market analyst, CMT at said: 'The UAE economy is in a particularly favourable position right now, benefiting from easing trade tensions, stable inflation, and the likelihood of a rate cut. These factors together could sustain bullish sentiment in equities and keep property market demand robust. Even if the global trade environment takes a negative turn, the UAE's diversified partnerships, particularly its strong bilateral ties with China, give it a unique resilience in weathering short-term shocks.' While the current trade truce provides breathing space, a breakdown in talks could quickly reignite market jitters. However, the UAE's diversified economic base, expanding non-oil sectors, and strategic positioning as a global trade hub offer buffers against such turbulence. In this context, Hilal further comments: 'In case of renewed tariff pressure, supply chain adaptability and strong Asia-GCC trade links could be key stabilizing forces. For now, the UAE's economic outlook remains constructively bullish, with monetary policy, sectoral momentum, and global trade diplomacy aligning in its favour.'
