Oil price rises drive higher UK inflation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Soaring oil prices have pushed UK inflation to a five-month high. Consumer prices rose 3.1% in the year to August. Motor fuel prices rose nearly a quarter, with petrol rising to 161.3p per litre and diesel hitting 181.8p. Brent crude is back above $100 a barrel. Trading at $108 as of Wednesday, it has risen 78% since the start of the year. While there is no end in sight to America's war with Iran, until recently the White House had seemed to be gaining the upper hand in the economic battle. Desp
‘Investors should ignore Anthropic's talk of AI apocalypse’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans!”, says Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger on X. He thinks there is more than a 10% chance we could all be dead “within the next decade”. Talk of AI's apocalyptic potential is in the air. Senior figures at AI labs are said to be terrified by the capabilities of recent models, which could be used to create bioweapons or elude human control and go rogue. The panic hit a new level at the weekend when a group of AI CEOs, including Dario Amodei

Read excerpt
US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent has found himself caught in a standoff with currency traders more than a fortnight after the US and Japan jointly intervened to buy yen for the first time since 1998.

Currency analysts warn the fundamental drivers of a weak yen, especially a yield gap between Japan (where rates are 1%) and the US (where rates are over 3.5%), have not go
Have European stocks turned a corner? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Investors were feeling deeply bearish about European stocks earlier this year, with warnings that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz would unleash the continent's second energy crisis in a decade. That danger has not passed, but markets got carried away. Unusually strong second-quarter earnings have allayed fears of stagflation. The Stoxx Europe 600, a pan-European stock index that includes UK-listed shares, is up 13% since its low in March. German earnings on the DAX index rose 11% year on yea
Why is the US propping up the weak Japanese yen? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the past five years, the Japanese yen has lost 30% of its value against the US dollar and nearly as much against the pound. The currency recently hit a 40-year low against the greenback. Now, powerful figures in global finance are drawing a line in the sand. Over the weekend, Japan's Ministry of Finance and the US Treasury confirmed they had jointly intervened in currency markets to support the yen. Japan is thought to have sold $59 billion to buy yen, with Washington staging a smaller inte
