Dollar braces for busy week of geopolitics and Fed speak
By Rae Wee SINGAPORE (Reuters) -The dollar dithered on Monday ahead of a key meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy, while investors also looked ahead to the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium for more policy clues. Currency moves were largely subdued in the early Asia session, though the dollar steadied after last week's fall as traders further pared back bets of a jumbo Fed cut next month. The euro was little changed at $1.1705, while sterling edged up 0.07% to $1.3557. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar advanced slightly to 97.85, after losing 0.4% last week. Markets are now pricing in an 84% chance the Fed would ease rates by a quarter point next month, down from 98% last week, after a raft of data including a jump in U.S. wholesale prices last month and a solid increase in July's retail sales figures dimmed the prospect of an oversized 50-basis-point cut. "While the data don't all point in the same direction, the U.S. economy looks to be in okay shape in the third quarter," said Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank. "The Fed is likely to cut interest rates by year-end, either in September, when markets now price in a cut, or a few months later, when Comerica forecasts a cut." The main event for investors on Monday is a meeting between Trump and Zelenskiy, who will be joined by some European leaders, as Washington presses Ukraine to accept a quick peace deal to end Europe's deadliest war in 80 years. Trump is leaning on Zelenskiy to strike an agreement after he met Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin in Alaska and emerged more aligned with Moscow on seeking a peace deal instead of a ceasefire first. Also key for markets this week will be the Kansas City Federal Reserve's August 21-23 Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook and the central bank's policy framework. "I think (Powell) will also talk about the current economic conditions in the U.S., and that will be more policy relevant, that will be more interesting to markets," said Joseph Capurso, head of international and sustainable economics at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. "Given market pricing is very high for a rate cut in September, I think the risk is that Powell is hawkish, or is perceived to be hawkish, if he gives a balanced view of the U.S. economy." In other currencies, the dollar rose 0.11% against the yen to 147.34, after falling roughly 0.4% last week. Japan's government on Friday brushed aside rare and explicit comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who said the Bank of Japan was "behind the curve" on policy, which appeared to be aimed at pressuring the country's central bank into raising interest rates. The Australian dollar was up 0.1% at $0.65145, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.15% to $0.5934, after falling 0.5% last week. Sign in to access your portfolio

Qantas fined $90 million after more than 1,800 staff illegally sacked: 'Deprived of dignity'
Qantas has been fined $90 million for illegally sacking more than 1,800 workers. Hundreds of cleaners, baggage handlers, and ground staff were told they would be outsourced back in 2020, and the Transport Workers Union (TWU) fought for them in a major Federal Court case. When handing down the decision, Justice Michael Lee highlighted the "sheer scale" of Qantas' contraventions, which were the "largest of their type" in Australian history. He settled on a mid-range penalty to deter other companies from following in the airline's footsteps. "To deprive someone of work illegally is to deprive someone of an aspect of their human dignity, and this is not assuaged simply by expressions of regret," Justice Lee said. RELATED Compensation sought for millions of Qantas customers hit in major cyber data breach Centrelink reveals 'common misconception' about $1,732 pension payment Aussie mum turns dirty laundry from side hustle to $8 million business The TWU was calling for the maximum penalty to be inflicted, which would have seen Qantas fined $121 million. Of the $90 million that the airline now has to pay, $50 million of that will go to the TWU. This fine comes on top of the $120 million that Qantas was ordered to give to affected workers as compensation for the same incident, following a four-year legal battle. A compensation fund is being set up this year and will be administered by the Maurice Blackburn law firm. Payments will be sent to 1,820 impacted former workers in one of three "test case" employee scenarios. Those test cases for non-economic loss are $30,000, $40,000 and $100,000, which are based on the worker's individual circumstances. 'We recognise the emotional and financial impact this has had on these people and their families. We hope that this provides closure to those who have been affected," Qantas CEO Vanessa Kirby said in a statement last year following the in to access your portfolio

Qantas fined $58 million over illegally sacking 1,800 workers during pandemic
SYDNEY (Reuters) -Qantas Airways, Australia's largest airline, has been fined A$90 million ($58.64 million) for illegally sacking 1,800 ground staff and replacing them with contractors during the COVID-19 pandemic, a court ruled on Monday. In imposing a penalty close to the maximum available for breaching Australia's workplace laws, Federal Court of Australia Judge Michael Lee said it was to ensure it 'could not be perceived as anything like the cost of doing business'. 'My present focus is on achieving real deterrence (including general deterrence to large public companies which might be tempted to 'get away' with contravening conduct because the rewards may outweigh the downside risk of effective remedial responses,' Lee said in a summary judgment. He said A$50 million of the penalty would be paid to the Transport Workers' Union, which brought the case on behalf of the 1,820 staff fired by Qantas during the pandemic. It comes around nine months after Qantas and the Union agreed on a A$120 million settlement for the sacked workers. Qantas shares were down 0.13% in early trade. ($1 = 1.5349 Australian dollars)
