China dissented from G20 statement opposing 'cheap exports' flooding market, Bessent says

Image
China was the only Group of 20 member to dissent from a joint statement that "non-market based economies pushing out a never-ending stream of cheap exports is not sustainable," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday. The other G20 members will take action in the coming "days, weeks or months" to "reach a resolution on this unsustainable equilibrium," Bessent said at a press conference following days of meetings with finance ministers and central bankers in Asheville, North Carolina. The statement, released later Tuesday by the Treasury Department, includes a footnote specifying that China objected to a paragraph in which the 19 members agreed "that countries should take steps to eliminate non-market policies and practices that exacerbate imbalances." "In particular, countries with excessive and persistent external surpluses should remove distortions that constrain domestic consumption and that result in an overreliance on exports for...

Cattle, Hog Prices Are Still Trapped and Heading Lower. What to Watch Next. Jim Wyckoff Mon, August 31, 2026 at 7:29 AM PDT 4 min read LE=F HE=F Angus cow by Jeremy Stenuit via iStock October live cattle (LEV26) futures on Friday fell $1.20 to $211.725 and for the week were down $6.20. November feeder cattle (GFX26) futures lost $1.55 to $309.925 and on the week lost $6.325. The cattle futures markets have seen steady technical selling over the past four weeks as both markets remain trapped in price downtrends on the daily bar charts.

Trump Friday said on social media that his administration will seek changes to allow farmers and ranchers to slaughter and process their own products in response to calls to loosen the grip of the big companies that dominate U.S. meat processing. "I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn...

Prediction market traders think job creation rebounded in August

Image
After a disappointing July payrolls report that showed the economy lost jobs that month, traders on prediction market platforms think August will show a rebound in hiring, though potentially not as strong as economists think. Speculators on Kalshi see 50-50 odds that more than 50,000 jobs were created last month. That implies a slightly lower outlook than Dow Jones consensus estimate for 53,000 jobs created in August. On the contracts on the market, traders are asked whether they think the U.S. added more than a certain number of jobs in the month. The contracts are resolved using official data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Prediction market traders on Polymarket give a 48% likelihood the economy created more than 50,000 jobs in August. For two months in a row, prediction market traders and economists have overestimated payroll numbers. Both expected job creation numbers in the six figures in June when they actually came in just below 60,000 and for the economy to create jobs i...

U.S. strikes Iran after new Hormuz Strait shipping attacks: Centcom

Image
The U.S. military launched new strikes against Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, U.S. Central Command said in a social media post , after a pair of oil tankers came under attack in the critical shipping route. The strikes come after President Donald Trump had reportedly been considering a CENTCOM plan for limited attacks aimed at preventing Iran from rebuilding radar and missile capabilities that could be used to target ships in the strait. CENTCOM said U.S. forces began striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets in Iran at noon ET after recent attempted attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. personnel in the region. The command did not immediately disclose the number or location of targets or what U.S. military assets were involved. Trump called the strikes "large and powerful" in a Truth Social post Tuesday, saying they were retaliation for Iran's attempt to add sea mines to the Strait of Hormuz and its missile att...

Hugging Face's new duck robot is selling fast. A Chinese chip powers it

Image
BEIJING A popular new programmable personal robot from a French-American company is powered by a chip from Shanghai-listed Rockchip which in turn uses British company ARM's tech, reflecting how intertwined global tech supply chains remain. The colorful "Microduck" robot from Hugging Face's French subsidiary Pollen Robotics has sold more than 10,000 units since its launch on Thursday earning over $4 million based on the $399 unit price. That's quickly delayed delivery times for new orders past the initial promise of Christmas 2026. The duck-shaped robots contain their own set of sensors, motors and on-device computing power from Rockchip's RK3566 . The chip incorporates technology licensed from British semiconductor company ARM , according to Rockchip . The Chinese company is a "key vendor" for AI that operates on devices, rather than in the cloud, said Lian Jye Su, chief analyst at Omdia.

Feeling nostalgic for summer? How to beat the back-to-work blues

Image
Image source, Getty Images By Kate Whannel , Business reporter and Nick Triggle , Health correspondent Published 1 September 2026, 00:37 BST The alarm wakes you with a shock, the summer holiday is over and it's time to face that inbox full of unread emails. This time last week, life was very different. You enjoyed late nights, lazy mornings balancing family fun and you time. Even if you enjoy your job, the transition from holiday to work can be hard, particularly in September as the days begin to shorten. Here are some ways of making the transition a little bit easier. Tick off small tasks It can be tempting to launch straight into tackling the hardest task first.

A rerun of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis? HSBC's chief economist sees significant similarities

Image
The 1997 Asian financial crisis culminated in recessions in economies throughout the region, amid market turmoil characterized by currency collapse, capital flight and banking failures. Now, Asia's financial environment bears some striking similarities to the period immediately before the crisis, according to HSBC's chief economist Frederick Neumann. Surging U.S. bond yields, a weak Japanese yen and tech optimism dominated the financial environment in the lead-up to the crisis, Neumann wrote in an Aug. 31 note. Neumann highlighted elevated U.S. Treasury yields as a key similarity with the period before the 1997 crisis. U.S. Benchmark 10-year bonds , for example, climbed from 5% in October 1993 to around 8% in November 1994. Even in April 1997, yields were at about 7%, some 200 basis points above where they had been four years prior, Neumann noted. Today, 10-year Treasury bond yields have climbed from a low of 0.5% in August 2020 to around 4.79% early Tuesday. "Granted, th...
