IFRS Foundation introduces e-learning modules for ISSB standards
The modules address essential subjects, including the IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures.
Comprising four self-directed modules, the content features a blend of written and visual materials alongside interactive knowledge assessments.
The modules include Introduction to the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards; Introduction to IFRS S1 General Sustainability-related Disclosures; Introduction to IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, and Integrated sustainability disclosures and organisational considerations.
These modules concentrate on various elements of sustainability disclosures and organisational considerations.
Upon completing each module, users can opt for a short multiple-choice assessment to earn a certificate of completion.
Access to the e-learning modules is complimentary for individuals with an IFRS.org account.
They act as an introductory resource for organisations preparing for sustainability-related disclosures and other stakeholders keen on ISSB Standards.
The foundation said that the launch of these modules is part of its initiative to facilitate the global adoption and implementation of ISSB Standards.
This initiative addresses the growing market demand for practical resources in sustainability reporting.
ISSB vice-chair Sue Lloyd said: 'The ISSB is committed to supporting companies as they implement our Standards. We understand the need for accessible, practical resources to help preparers understand and apply IFRS S1 and IFRS S2.
'This e-learning course, along with our library of educational materials, will help equip individuals with the knowledge they need to understand our Standards and implement them effectively with the aim of providing decision-useful globally comparable sustainability-related information for investors.'

What will happen to gold prices this August?
While it may seem like the price of gold has been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride in recent years, that interpretation is a bit misleading. Rollercoasters, after all, rise and fall, but gold prices have only been increasing for much of 2024 and 2025. Absent some minor declines, the price of gold is up by around 40% from where it was one year ago. Put otherwise, the price of the metal has moved from $2,409.39 last summer to over $3,300 now, offering a unique opportunity for investors looking to turn a quick profit via an asset traditionally known more as an income protector versus an income producer. To better position themselves for success, then, both existing investors and those just getting started in the precious metal market will be understandably interested in the gold price forecast for August. But what could happen to gold prices this month? Below, we'll take a closer look at what investors can expect (and what they should do in the interim). Learn more about how gold could protect your portfolio here now. Investors have become so accustomed to gold prices steadily rising that the concept of the price stagnating this August sounds like a foreign one. And while predicting the future price of any asset is inherently uncertain, particularly for precious metals like gold, that seems the safest assumption this month. That's due to a variety of factors: Interest rates are on hold: The Fed's decision to keep rates unchanged until it meets again in mid-September isn't likely to impact gold prices negatively or positively. After all, rate cuts often cause gold prices to move upward as investors look for other locations for their money as returns elsewhere decline. That often causes the price of gold to increase. Conversely, rate increases can cause it to rise (though not always). With rates remaining where they are for the foreseeable future, however, gold prices may not move too far off the $3,300 per ounce range they're starting August listed at. See what price you could buy gold for here. Inflation readings may be difficult to parse: Inflation is now at 2.7%, almost a full percentage point above the 2% goal the Federal Reserve has spoken about as motivation for additional rate cuts. Still, that's significantly lower than the 9%-plus rate from 2022. But it's hard to tell where the next inflation reading will fall when it's released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on August 12. A significant spike there could cause gold prices to rise, but if the inflation rate stays where it is or declines slightly, the impact on the gold price market is likely to be muted. Demand for portfolio diversification may evolve: A demand for portfolio diversification can cause the price of gold to rise, as was seen in recent years, as investors looked for safe-haven assets that could assist them in hedging against inflation. But stock market performance recently has been strong, even if it followed significant volatility in the spring. Where this leaves portfolio diversification demands, then, and thus, the price of gold, remains to be seen. With inflation cyclical, however, savvy investors may still want to add gold to their portfolio for the future. Add a layer of gold to your portfolio before the economy changes again now. There are signs that gold's price could rise this August, but equally strong indicators that imply a decline or even a bit of stagnation. Against this backdrop, then, investors should remember what gold can (and can't) do for their portfolio and instead adjust their investing approach to incorporate long-term gold holding versus being overly concerned about daily price changes that will be difficult (if not impossible) to exploit effectively.

MARA to offer $850 million of zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2032
MARA has launched a proposed private placement of $850 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes maturing August 1, 2032, with an option for initial purchasers to buy an additional $150 million within 13 days of issuance, according to a press release. The exact details including conversion premium and interest rate will be determined at the time of pricing. The notes will be unsecured senior obligations that do not bear regular interest or accrete in principal. MARA may redeem the notes for cash on or after January 15, 2030, but if it doesn't redeem everything, then at least $75 million must remain outstanding. Holders may require MARA to repurchase notes for cash on January 4, 2030, if the common stock's sale price falls below the conversion price. Notes will convert, at MARA's election, into cash, shares of common stock, or both. Conversion is only permitted upon specified events before May 1, 2032, and at any time thereafter until two business days before maturity. MARA plans to deploy up to $50 million of net proceeds to repurchase a portion of its 1.00% convertible senior notes due 2026, with remaining proceeds funding capped-call transactions, bitcoin acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. At time of publication, MARA is down 4.5% during pre-market hours. Sign in to access your portfolio
