#finance #investment - Earthquake Rocks Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam; US Ukraine Investment Aims | Bloomberg The Pulse 03/28

28 March 2025

Myanmar was struck by its biggest earthquake in a century, shaking buildings and triggering evacuations in neighboring Vietnam and Thailand, with at least one tower collapsing in Bangkok. The quake on Friday measured 7.7 in magnitude, according to the USGS, which said it was 16 kilometers northwest of Sagaing, Myanmar and at a depth of 10 kilometers. It struck at about 1:21 p.m. in Bangkok and was the strongest worldwide since 2023, according to the US Geological Survey data compiled by Bloomberg.

There was a second temblor of 6.4 magnitude around the same area, the USGS said. In geopolitics, the US is pushing to control all major future infrastructure and mineral investments in Ukraine, potentially gaining a veto over any role for Kyiv’s other allies and undermining its bid for European Union membership.

President Donald Trump’s administration is demanding the “right of first offer” on investments in all infrastructure and natural resources projects under a revised partnership deal with Ukraine, according to a draft of the document obtained by Bloomberg News.

#USA #finance #investment - 'Clear Possibility' that US Becomes Un-Investable under Trump: Peter Atwater: Bloomberg

20 March 2025

Financial Insyghts President Peter Atwater talks how investors should approach the volatility of policy changes in the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump said the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates, splitting with the US central bank as officials weigh the economic cost of his tariff push. 

“The Fed would be MUCH better off CUTTING RATES as U.S.Tariffs start to transition (ease!) their way into the economy,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Do the right thing. April 2nd is Liberation Day in America!!!”

Trump’s post Wednesday evening comes as his administration prepares to unveil a fresh wave of tariffs, which Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled was hanging over forecasts. 

Fed officials held their benchmark interest rate steady on Wednesday for a second straight meeting, as expected by economists. Powell downplayed simmering concerns about a slowdown but acknowledged tariff uncertainty was a factor and already contributing to goods inflation, but may prove transitory. Trump’s administration is preparing to announce a fresh wave of tariffs on April 2, though the exact scope isn’t clear. Trump has promised so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on at least some nations, though his administration has not specified which ones or at what rate, and his key economic advisers have competing views on the best way to approach tariff policy. 

The public push back on interest rates comes as the Trump White House tries to make its case for stiffer tariffs amid a mixed economic picture in the US. Inflation has not abated as much as American consumers would like. High interest rates are squeezing the housing market, and economists now see economic growth slowing in the upcoming months. 

Trump has sent repeated mixed messages on the Fed — at times calling for cuts and otherwise declining to intervene. Similarly, during the campaign, he vacillated on how independent he said the Fed should be from the White House.

#investment #finance - US trade policy causes carnage on global markets as recession fears grow | Close of Business: ABC News In-depth

15 March 2025

Fears of an economic downturn spooked investors and sparked a $US4 trillion sell-off on Wall Street, as on-again-off-again tariff threats from the White House against allies like Canada and Mexico ramped up uncertainty.

The Australian share market followed suit, tumbling to a 7-month-low, narrowly avoiding a technical correction, which is a 10% fall from the most recent peak.

Leading independent economist Saul Eslake told Close of Business the moves from the US administration are creating volatility and uncertainty not just for investors, but US households who will ultimately carry the cost of tariffs. He spoke to business presenter Alicia Barry.

#investment #finance - Tesla loses $1 trillion status as shares tank: TheStreet

26 February 2025

Elon Musk’s personal fortune has also taken a huge hit. Transcript: Conway Gittens: It’s been a rough start of the year for Tesla shareholders. The stock is down roughly 25 percent of year-to-date and it’s only the end of February. The selling has been so intense that the company’s stock has been kicked out of the rarified club of companies with $1 trillion or more in stock market value. As Tesla’s biggest individual shareholder, Elon Musk’s worth has taken a hit as well. He’s down $75 billion since the start of the year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Tesla shares make up more than half of all his wealth. Nevertheless, Musk is still the world’s richest man. Tesla’s latest headaches are two-fold. Chinese customers are less than enthused with a limited self-driving function upgrade that they’ve been waiting for for a long time. Tesla drivers told Reuters that Musk’s latest upgrade isn’t living up to promises in moving the ball closer towards a fully autonomous driving system. That is a competitive problem for Tesla as China’s homegrown EV makers are offering partial self-driving functionality at a fraction of the cost - if any - when compared to Tesla. The other headache is coming from a different part of the world. All across Europe, Tesla just doesn’t have the cache it used to. Sales on the continent were down 45 percent in January - hitting a two-year low., Compare that to total industrywide EV sales, which jumped 37 percent. In Germany Tesla registrations slumped to their lowest in 3-1/2 years, while in France they hit 2-1/2 year low. In the UK. China’s BYD outsold Tesla for the first time ever. All of these are ominous signs for a company that posted disappointing global sales in the fourth quarter despite price cuts in some markets.
