Dollar gains before key Powell speech at Jackson Hole on Friday
NEW YORK :The dollar gained on Thursday before a highly anticipated speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday will be evaluated for any new clues on whether the U.S. central bank is likely to cut interest rates next month. Traders ramped up bets on a cut at the Fed's September 16-17 meeting after an unexpectedly weak jobs report for July. The risk of higher inflation as President Donald Trump's administration enacts new trade tariffs, however, remains a wild card that is making some policymakers hesitant to ease. The Fed's Jackson Hole theme this year is 'Labor Markets in Transition,' and 'I guess it depends on how much (Powell) wants to lean on cracks in the labor market,' said Eric Theoret, FX strategist at Scotiabank in Toronto. 'Whether it's the payrolls and the revisions, or whether it's the claims that continue to climb higher, there is a narrative there that he can definitely push on,' Theoret said. The dollar briefly pared gains on Thursday after data showed that the number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits rose by the most in about three months last week. It later added to gains after a separate report showed that U.S. business activity picked up pace in August, led by a resurgent manufacturing sector that saw the strongest growth in orders in 18 months. Powell may hesitate to signal a rate cut with data for August still due before the September session. Ultimately, 'with the market pricing in two cuts at the end of the year, I think we need something big in either direction to really shift the market off that course,' said Theoret. Fed funds futures traders are currently pricing in 77 per cent odds of a September cut, and 51 basis points in cuts by year-end. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said on Thursday that he still thinks the U.S. central bank can cut its interest rate target once this year, while noting there's a lot of uncertainty around that view as the economy undergoes considerable change. Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid said there seems no rush to cut interest rates, with inflation still above the central bank's 2 per cent target and the labor market still in solid shape. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, was last up 0.27 per cent on the day at 98.50, with the euro down 0.26 per cent at $1.1618. The Japanese yen weakened 0.38 per cent against the greenback to 147.9 per dollar. Sterling weakened 0.2 per cent to $1.343. The United States and the European Union on Thursday locked in a framework trade deal reached last month that includes a 15 per cent U.S. tariff on most EU imports, including autos, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and lumber.

US consumer watchdog kicks off redo of 'open banking' rules on customer data
WASHINGTON :The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Thursday kicked off a do-over of its "open banking" regulations governing consumer control over the sharing of personal data between banks and the burgeoning financial technology sector as the two industries feud over proper controls and access. The decision marked an about-face amid public pressure from fintech firms and crypto entrepreneurs whose fortunes have soared since President Donald Trump returned to the White House this year. The watchdog asked numerous questions on how best to implement the consumer data rules - now 15 years in the making and prescribed as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation - requiring that banks give consumers access to their own financial data, including account information, transactions, usage and fees "upon request." The regulations were previously completed by the Biden administration, earning a legal challenge from the banking industry who opposed that version, citing risks to consumer data security. Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in October that the regulations would let consumers switch banks with the same ease as switching telephone companies, allowing comparison shopping for mortgages and accounts - with data shared free of charge. The Trump administration initially told a court it supported banking industry calls to strike down the Biden regulations but in late July reversed course, saying that due to unnamed "recent events in the marketplace," it would replace the regulations with a version more to the administration's liking. The backpedaling came after politically connected crypto entrepreneurs, including Tyler Winkelvoss and Donald Trump Jr., took to social media to denounce JPMorgan Chase over a Bloomberg report that the bank had informed fintech firms they would in fact have to pay potentially hefty fees for access to depositors' data, even though the pending Biden-era regulations still prevented this. In an earnings call in mid-July, JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon said securely sharing customer data was costly.

Self-driving vehicle startup Nuro valued at $6 billion in late-stage funding round
Self-driving vehicle startup Nuro closed its late-stage funding round on Thursday, raising $203 million at a $6 billion valuation from new investors Uber and Nvidia alongside returning backers. The latest tranche of $97 million follows the $106 million announced in April, which included investors such as T. Rowe Price, Fidelity, and Tiger Global. The company's valuation in the latest funding round is lower than the $8.6 billion it was valued at in 2021, according to Pitchbook data. Many startups that became unicorns during the 2021 funding boom are now raising capital at lower valuations as investors' attention turns toward artificial intelligence. "The change reflects broader market conditions and this is a strong outcome for the current market environment," a Nuro spokesperson said. Nuro has been pushing to scale its self-driving platform and expand commercial partnerships. Founded in 2016, Nuro has pivoted from delivery robots to licensing its Nuro Driver technology for use in robotaxis, commercial fleets, and personal vehicles. Nuro partnered with EV maker Lucid and Uber to launch a global robotaxi service. Uber plans to deploy over 20,000 Lucid Gravity SUVs equipped with Nuro's system across dozens of markets over six years starting in 2026.
