St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem said on Thursday that it is still too soon for him to determine whether to support an interest rate cut at next month's meeting. Asked whether a 50 basis point cut could be warranted next month, Musalem said that, in his view, such a move would be 'unsupported by the current state of the economy and the outlook for the economy.'

Trump cautioned there would be 'very harsh consequences' if Putin failed to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine, while suggesting the possibility of a follow-up meeting that could include Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and some European leaders. Meanwhile, Putin looked to strengthen his relationship with Trump ahead of their summit, commending the U.S. leader's attempts to mediate an end to the war in Ukraine and offering the prospect of economic cooperation along with a new arms control agreement.

Mohit Kumar, chief European strategist at Jefferies International, said, 'We do expect some progress in today's meeting and a path set for further discussions between Russia and the U.S.,' adding that 'if we move towards a peace deal, it would be positive for the European markets.' In other news, the EU and U.S. are moving toward finalizing the trade deal that President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed to in July. In corporate news, NKT A/S (NKT.C.DX) climbed over +8% after updating its full-year guidance.

Asian stock markets today settled in the green. China's Shanghai Composite Index (SHCOMP) closed up +0.83%, and Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Index (NIK) closed up +1.71%.
China's Shanghai Composite Index ended higher today as weak economic data from the country bolstered expectations of new stimulus measures from Beijing to support growth. Real estate stocks climbed on Friday after Bloomberg News reported that China is planning to mobilize companies owned by the central government in Beijing to purchase unsold homes from struggling property developers. The benchmark index notched its biggest weekly gain in nine months. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics released on Friday showed that China's economy weakened across the board in July, with factory activity, investment, and retail sales disappointing, indicating that Beijing's crackdown on destructive price wars and the spillover effects of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs are weighing on the world's second-largest economy. Also, the country's prolonged housing market downturn continued to weigh on growth, with the latest figures showing declining home prices and property investment. In addition, unemployment inched higher in July as millions of new graduates entered a sluggish labor market. China's top leaders refrained from introducing any major new stimulus measures in July, a cautious approach that economists say will need to be reconsidered to keep this year's 5% growth target attainable. ING economist Lynn Song said on Friday that 'the slump in July's data was more pronounced than expected,' noting that China needs to roll out additional stimulus measures. In other news, the Financial Times reported on Thursday that China is cautioning Western companies against stockpiling rare earths, warning they could face even greater shortages. In corporate news, JD.com slid over -3% in Hong Kong after the e-commerce operator posted a 51% drop in Q2 net income.
The Chinese July Industrial Production rose +5.7% y/y, weaker than expectations of +6.0% y/y.
The Chinese July Retail Sales rose +3.7% y/y, weaker than expectations of +4.6% y/y.
The Chinese Fixed Asset Investment rose +1.6% y/y in the January-July period, weaker than expectations of +2.7% y/y.
The Chinese July Unemployment Rate was 5.2%, weaker than expectations of 5.1%.
Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Index closed sharply higher today, posting a new record high, after the nation's economy expanded faster than expected last quarter. Financial stocks led the gains on Friday, supported by expectations that a Bank of Japan rate hike might come sooner rather than later. The benchmark index posted strong gains for the week. Preliminary government data released on Friday showed that Japan's economy expanded far more than expected in the second quarter, driven by robust domestic demand, strengthening the case for the BOJ to raise its benchmark rate again this year and offering embattled Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba some rare good news. Separately, data showed that Japan's June industrial production was unexpectedly revised upward. Meanwhile, Benjamin Shatil, an economist at JPMorgan Securities, said, 'We continue to think that solid domestic demand data will necessitate a shift in the BOJ's narrative that tariff-related uncertainty is weighing on activity,' adding that he expects the central bank to raise its policy rate in October. According to the latest Bloomberg survey of economists tracking the BOJ, about 42% of respondents said they anticipate a hike in October, while one-third expect a move in January. Governor Kazuo Ueda said last month that policymakers will continue to raise borrowing costs if they are confident domestic demand will remain stable. In other news, foreign investors bought a net 489.3 billion yen ($3.32 billion) worth of Japanese stocks in the week through August 9th, fueled by a series of strong earnings that propelled domestic equities to new record highs, according to data from Japan's Ministry of Finance. The Nikkei Volatility Index, which takes into account the implied volatility of Nikkei 225 options, closed up +0.20% to 24.61.
The Japanese GDP has been reported at +0.3% q/q and +1.0% y/y in the second quarter, stronger than expectations of +0.1% q/q and +0.4% y/y.
The Japanese June Industrial Production rose +2.1% m/m, stronger than expectations of +1.7% m/m.

Should I sell my vacation home that I dream of living in when I retire to pay off $50K in credit card debt?
Total credit card debt in the US stands at $1.18 trillion this year, with 4.3% of debt in delinquency, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. With these near record-high numbers, many Americans are feeling the pinch and want to find ways to dig themselves out. But should you allow your debt to disrupt your retirement plans? Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Let's look at the example of Gavin, a 40-year-old married man with two children. He bought a home in the Caribbean in 2019 with the goal of eventually making the house his retirement home. The house is worth $400,000 now, with a $120,000 mortgage balance. Unfortunately, the mortgage loan has a variable interest rate, which is currently at 10.5% with no possible options for refinancing. The home currently generates $700 per month in profit as a short-term rental, but makes less during off off-season and managing it is stressful. Worse, the neighborhood may soon prohibit short-term rentals in the area, so that would be the end of this revenue stream. Additionally, Gavin might also be on the hook for local property taxes and, as a foreign investor, other possible fees and taxes too. On top of this, the buyer is a renter in the US where he currently lives and he has $50,000 in credit card debt. Does it make sense for him to sell the vacation property to pay off what he owes? He's considering buying a home locally and using the rest of the money to invest, build up an emergency fund, or start a college fund for his kids. Selling the vacation home could be a great solution Selling the vacation home in this particular case seems like an easy answer. While it is currently generating a small profit, earning $8,400 per year on a $400,000 asset isn't a great return, especially given the hassle of being the host and the substantial interest he is paying on his mortgage. But losing the short-term rental income would be a major downside. Read more: Nervous about the stock market? Gain potential quarterly income through this $1B private real estate fund — even if you're not a millionaire. Aside from the poor ROI of the home, the interest on $50,000 in credit card debt that he currently has is an absolute financial killer, given that the average credit card interest rate is 21.16% as of May 2025. The $700 per month he is earning from his rental most likely is not even enough to cover the interest that his credit card debt accrues each month. With a home worth $400,000, and assuming closing costs are around 4% (the average is 2% to 5%), this homeowner would still end up with about $384,000 after paying for the transaction fees from the sale of the home. Now, since the home isn't his primary home, it's possible he could owe capital gains taxes if his profits exceeded $250,000 as a single person or $500,000 as a married joint filer. However, since Gavin is married and the home isn't netting in excess of $500,000, he'd likely be spared this tax. He may also need to pay additional sales taxes to the government of his host country. If he doesn't, he could pay off the $120,000 still remaining on the mortgage he owes, as well as his $50,000 in credit card debt and still walk away with around $214,000. That would be a good start to make a down payment on a home in the US for his family (in which he can retire), or to start investing for his future. He could save for his two kids to go to college, start an emergency fund and best of all, free up a lot of income by eliminating his credit card debt and the interest he would be paying on that into the future. In fact, if he uses the money wisely, he could not only set himself up for financial stability, but he could also choose to save to buy another retirement home down the road, when it makes more financial sense. Are there downsides to selling? While Gavin's circumstances make a strong case for selling the home, it's worth looking at whether there are any downsides to doing so, beyond losing the $700 in rental income. Since the home he owns doesn't have a great mortgage, isn't generating a big profit and there's no reason to believe it is a one-of-a-kind home, there's very little downside in cashing out now and using the proceeds to create some more financial stability. The only real risk would be that real estate values skyrocket in his chosen Caribbean retirement destination. This would either price him out of buying his dream retirement home later on or prevent him from earning more on the possible future sale of his vacation home. However, it's unlikely the ROI on Caribbean real estate would exceed the returns he'd get by investing in the stock market in the states or that the increase in the value would be worth paying the interest on the credit card debt and the mortgage combined. There are likely wiser ways to make that money work. So, if he's investing wisely over time, he should likely be able to buy a comparable home as a retiree if he wants to. He could also end up changing his retirement plans if he decides he'd rather stay in the US and be close to his potential grandchildren — and if that happens, it would have been a poor investment to pay for a house that's costly to keep only to end up not retiring there anyway. Selling now with the chance to rebuy later seems like a much better bet. In fact, all signs point to the fact that selling the home seems like the best move in this situation and it could be the start of a much more financially secure — and less stressful — future.

Warren Buffett's Mystery Stock Is Revealed, and It Comes as a Big Surprise to Wall Street
Key Points Quarterly filed Form 13Fs provide a way for investors to track the buying and selling activity of Wall Street's top money managers. Warren Buffett is occasionally granted the "confidential treatment" tag, which allows him to build up Berkshire Hathaway's stake in one or more securities in secrecy. Buffett's newly revealed mystery stock -- a $1.6 billion position -- presents as a rare price dislocation in a historically pricey market. 10 stocks we like better than UnitedHealth Group › You might not realize it, but Thursday, Aug. 14, was arguably the most important day of the quarter for investors. Although earnings season can clue investors in to the health of Wall Street's leading businesses, Form 13Fs are equally valuable. A 13F is a required filing due no later than 45 calendar days following the end of a quarter (Aug. 14) for institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management. It provides investors with a concise snapshot of which stocks Wall Street's smartest and most successful money managers bought and sold in the latest quarter (in this instance, the quarter that ended in June). While Wall Street is packed with brand-name asset managers, none garners the attention of investors quite like Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett. Mirroring the aptly dubbed Oracle of Omaha's buying and selling activity has been a time-tested strategy for wealth creation. Although every facet of Buffett's trading activity tends to be put under the microscope by professional and everyday investors, this quarterly 13F was unique. It revealed the mystery stock that Berkshire's billionaire boss had been buying under the guise of secrecy -- and it's not what anyone on Wall Street had been expecting. Warren Buffett buys big under the "confidential treatment" tag On rare occasions, regulators grant prominent money managers the ability to build up a stake in one or more securities under the "confidential treatment" tag. Confidential securities don't need to be reported on a 13F, and there's a purpose behind this. When a high-profile asset manager like Warren Buffett opens a position in a stock, it's not uncommon for its share price to surge as investors pile in. Being granted confidential treatment allows these prominent investors (like Buffett) to build up a position at a more attractive cost basis. The Oracle of Omaha has been granted the confidential treatment tag on a couple of occasions over the last decade: In 2015, Berkshire was afforded this exclusion to build up a stake in energy giant Phillips 66. During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the confidential treatment tag was used by Buffett and his team to create multibillion-dollar positions in Verizon Communications and Chevron, the latter of which remains a core holding. In the second half of 2023 and during the first quarter of 2024, this special tag was used to pile into property & casualty insurer Chubb. It was also granted during the first half of 2025 for a mystery stock that's now been revealed following Berkshire's second-quarter 13F filing. Though there are thousands of publicly traded companies, Berkshire Hathaway's quarterly operating results have offered big clues as to where this mystery stock resides. Every quarter, Buffett's company provides a cost basis breakdown of the securities held in its investment portfolio from three categories: Banks, insurance and finance Consumer products Commercial, industrial and other The cost bases for the first two segments have been declining, while commercial, industrial and other has been climbing. In other words, it was pretty clear that Buffett's mystery buy wasn't a financial stock or consumer staples company. We also know that, historically speaking, Berkshire's billionaire chief tends to avoid the tech and healthcare sectors. Buffett isn't the most tech-savvy, and keeping up on clinical-trial data isn't high on his list of things to do. All signs were pointing to an industrial stock being his big purchase during the first half of Wall Street was way off! The Oracle of Omaha lifts the curtain on his mystery stock Even though Berkshire's boss has been a persistent net seller of stocks for 11 consecutive quarters, to the tune of $177.4 billion, he did quite a bit of buying during the quarter ending in June. Berkshire's 13F shows six new positions were opened, with a half-dozen existing holdings being added to. However, the one new purchase that's bound to raise eyebrows and drop jaws is the reveal of the mystery stock: UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH). Buffett oversaw the purchase of 5,039,564 shares of UnitedHealth, worth close to $1.6 billion at the end of June. There's not a sector Warren Buffett understands better or feels more comfortable investing in than financials. While banks and credit service providers might be the first that come to mind when hearing the word "financials," it also includes an assortment of insurance companies, such as Chubb. A substantial portion of UnitedHealth's business involves health insurance. Though UnitedHealth isn't protecting property, the premise of insurance companies is similar across the board. They collect premiums and outlay capital to cover member claims, with the expectation being that premiums collected will far outweigh the amount spent on its members. Typically, insurers possess exceptional pricing power. Since catastrophes and higher claim periods are inevitable, insurers are often justified in raising their premiums on a near-annual basis. When insurers aren't outlaying their collected premium to cover claims, it's invested in safe, interest-bearing assets to bolster profits. But UnitedHealth Group is more than just a leading health insurance company. Its healthcare services segment, Optum, has been a faster-growing and higher-margin counterpart for quite some time. Optum provides healthcare companies with everything from care delivery and pharmacy care services to the software they use. Warren Buffett's modus operandi is to wait for price dislocations to present themselves. In a historically pricey stock market, locating value has been virtually impossible. Yet, with UnitedHealth Group stock losing more than half its value since the midpoint of April, a rare price dislocation has emerged. However, UnitedHealth stock didn't dive 54% on a whim. Its poor performance is a reflection of higher costs associated with the company's Medicare Advantage segment (also known as Medicare Part C). Whereas many of UnitedHealth's peers anticipated higher expenses in this private Medicare segment in 2025, UnitedHealth did not and is now paying the price. The good news is that UnitedHealth Group has endured challenging environments like this before, and they rarely last for any significant length of time. The company should be able to address premiums for the upcoming year and work to lower its costs. UnitedHealth Group's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 14 (prior to Buffett revealing it as his mystery stock) represents a 26% discount to its average forward-year earnings multiple over the trailing-five-year period. It's also a company with a robust capital-return program, highlighted by a growing dividend and hearty share buybacks. Though a healthcare stock is probably the last thing Wall Street was expecting, UnitedHealth Group checks all the right boxes for the value-oriented Oracle of Omaha.

The US May Have Already Lost the AI Race to China Due to a Key Weakness
You might have heard of an "AI race" heating up between the US and China, a bitter rivalry between two global adversaries that could shape the direction of world history. At least, that's how some in the US feel. While China has repeatedly tried to establish a geopolitical friendship with the richest nation in the world, officials and pundits in the US have doubled down, reframing artificial intelligence as the 21st century's nuclear bomb. In the meantime, China may have gotten a massive lead — by actively investing in its power grid, while the United States' is quickly running out of capacity to power immensely power-hungry AI models. As Fortune reports, Americans who've had a look at China's technological development firsthand found that the two country's aren't even in the same league, given China's next-level power grid. "Energy is considered a solved problem," wrote Rui Ma, editor of the US publication Tech Buzz China. "Everywhere we went, people treated energy availability as a given," she continued. "This is a stark contrast to the US, where AI growth is increasingly tied to debates over data center power consumption and grid limitations." AI is a notoriously energy-intensive technology. The data centers powering large language models like ChatGPT are immense labyrinths of computer chips, which suck down resources like power and water in order to keep up with demand. As Fortune notes, this effectively makes electricity the key bottleneck for expanding AI infrastructure. That's caused some critical shortages in the US. Short on energy and hopped up on fantasies of an arms race, American companies are resorting to all kinds of bizarre strategies to get their juice. Elon Musk's xAI, for example, is running 35 portable methane gas generators in the parking lot of one of its main datacenters in Memphis, encircling nearby communities in a cloud of noxious smog. China has no such problems. In 2024, China was responsible for nearly 65 percent of the world's renewable energy construction, installing so many solar panels and wind turbines that it caused the country's CO2 emissions to drop for the first time — despite record-high demands for energy. Whether or not the US can catch up remains to be seen. President Donald Trump previously made an off-the-cuff remark about attaching coal power plants to data centers directly. It's an unfortunate conundrum in an age when energy demand in the US has never been higher. In the meantime, China keeps chugging along, seemingly unperturbed by any energy bottlenecks — and the Trump administration's posturing.
