US Treasury close to deal to make ‘revenge tax' irrelevant
Washington | The US Treasury Department is nearing a deal that would make the so-called 'revenge tax' irrelevant, the agency's second-in-command said, a development that could bring great relief to Wall Street investors worried about punitive tax measures on foreigners.
'We continue to have negotiations with our OECD partners and continue to hope that in the very short run we have a breakthrough that would make conversations about 899 irrelevant,' Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender said in an interview, referring to a part of President Donald Trump's signature tax legislation that would impose a levy on foreign companies and investors from countries that the US determines have been unfairly imposing digital taxes on American technology companies.

‘Once credible, now politicised': CNN's reliability called into question
Hudson Institute Senior Fellow John Lee comments on the current state of US media, asserting that many outlets have become increasingly 'politicised'. 'Unfortunately in the American media environment now, you have to look at the media outlet to make a judgment about how reliable or what the motivation might be,' Mr Lee told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'Outlets like CNN, New York Times, perhaps even Washington Post, once very credible august outlets, are now very politicised.'

Western leaders ‘turned their backs' on Iranians seeking regime change
Israeli journalist Emily Schrader has called for the international community to 'support' the Iranian people who are fighting back against the regime and desire a change. US President Donald Trump's ceasefire has opened a window for Australians to leave the Middle East. 'There have been multiple waves of massive protests across the country in recent decades and every single time, Western leaders in the Western world ... have really turned their backs on the Iranian people,' Ms Schrader told Sky News host Steve Price. 'Instead of holding the regime accountable for their crimes ... we have seen instead the West give them sanction relief, cut deals, do all kinds of things that really prop up the regime and give them a lifeline in the end.'

Dollar sinks and global stocks extend record run
The dollar has sunk to a three-year low while world stocks notched their second record high in three days as a report that Donald Trump was planning to choose the next Federal Reserve chief early fuelled fresh bets on US rate cuts. Dollar selling continued after the Wall Street Journal said the US president - who has been urging the Fed to cut rates faster - was toying with the idea of selecting Chair Jerome Powell's replacement in the next few months before his formal departure in May 2026. It left the greenback down more than 10 per cent for 2025. If it stays that way in the coming days it will be its biggest first half of a year fall since the early 1970s - effectively the era of free-floating currencies. European shares edged higher again, buoyed by signs that the Israel-Iran ceasefire appeared to be holding and that European Union leaders were preparing to set their stance for US trade tariff talks ahead of a Trump-imposed deadline of July 9. The region's flagship STOXX 600 index was up 0.2 per cent on Thursday while MSCI's record-high world stocks benchmark was up 0.4 per cent, leaving it almost eight per cent ahead for 2025. The euro jumped 0.6 per cent to $US1.173, its strongest since 2021. "The striking thing on the dollar trend of the last six weeks is that in almost any market regime the dollar is struggling to appreciate," State Street's Michael Metcalfe said. "It seems to be in something of structural decline," he said, highlighting State Street data that investors were now the most negative they have been on the dollar - or "underweight" in banking speak - since the COVID pandemic. Euro traders also took heart from the outcome of Wednesday's NATO summit that saw the bloc's members of the alliance agree to spend five per cent of output on defence - broken down into 3.5 per cent on troops and weapons and 1.5 per cent on looser, defence-related measures. Overnight in Asia, Tokyo's Nikkei jumped 1.65 per cent to its highest level since January, while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan finished slightly higher too. In currency markets, the Swiss franc firmed to a decade-high while the Japanese yen also strengthened again to below 144 per dollar. There are growing expectations that the Fed will soon be cutting US rates again following recent patchy data, but Trump's criticism of it for not moving quick enough has been escalating too. He has repeatedly targeted Fed chief Powell, and his idea of naming a successor well before Powell leaves office would effectively create a shadow over the head of the US central bank that could undermine him. The dollar index, which measures the US currency against six rivals, now sits at its lowest level since March 2022 following its slide in 2025. The two-year US Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, was down 1.5 basis points at 3.764 per cent, its lowest level in seven weeks. In commodities, oil prices rose on Thursday after their sharp slump following the Trump-brokered ceasefire early this week between longtime Middle East foes Israel and Iran. Brent crude futures rose 0.37 per cent to $US67.93 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude gained 0.45 per cent to $US65.21.
