Black Smoke All Over By Michael Every of RabobankWe got black smoke from the Vatican and the Fed yesterday showing no new Pope and no rate cut. Yet in both cases, smoke doesn’t come without fire. *CARDINALS FAIL TO ELECT POPE, BLACK SMOKE RISES OVER VATICANBlack smoke also rising above the Marriner Eccles building— zerohedge (@zerohedge) May 7, 2025As our US Strategist Philip Marey put in in his FOMC review ‘Clueless’, “essentially Powell spent the press conference telling us nothing new and dodging questions about Trump.” Even so, he made clear economic risks are rising: if US tariffs remain as now, unemployment and inflation will both go up. A year ago, Powell was saying he didn’t see any stagflation. True, he didn’t know who the winner of the 2024 presidential election would be, or their policy platform: but didn’t stop Philip getting both right back then. Today, he’s calling for a solitary rate cut in June, then the Fed on hold as the trade war impact is felt.Surprisingly, Powell suggested he isn’t tracking live ports data to see the pipeline impact of ongoing shifts in global trade flows. Even if this isn’t one of the backwards-looking ‘big numbers’ supposed to capture the complexities of modern economies (and failing to), one would still have expected him to be poring over logistics reports rather than macro models that can’t possibly capture what’s going to happen as well or as rapidly.Relatedly -- and underlining that even the Fed is now cargo-- Trump said he’s unwilling to pre-emptively cut tariffs on China to jump-start more substantive talks in Switzerland this week. Opinions are deeply divided on what those talks will produce: optimists expect a climb-down from one side or the other, so “rate cuts!” Realists aren’t. Indeed, while the US will overhaul its looming Biden-era May 15 curbs on AI chip exports, which markets take as bullish, this shouldn’t necessarily be read as looser policy stance. Indeed, Treasury Secretary Bessent is working with Congress on new outbound investment rules for China via a “red light or green light, and not having a yellow zone.” Clarity is good: but expect a lot of red and not so much green – and in more senses than one. After all, in the background, Uncovering Chinese Academic Espionage at Stanford, states: “After interviewing multiple anonymous Stanford faculty, students, and China experts, the Stanford Review can confirm that the CCP is orchestrating a widespread intelligence-gathering campaign there.” Similar allegations have swirled for years, and not only at Stanford, but were waved away like unwanted cigarette smoke because too much ‘Red!’ gets in the way of some people’s green.Meanwhile, the US is reportedly to announce its first trade deal with the UK today – or at least a “MAJOR TRADE DEAL” with a “big and highly respected country,” which doesn’t scream the UK to some Britons.That’s as The Times reports the Treasury’s own analysis of the UK-India FTA shows it losing £200m a year in taxes and making it cheaper for Indian firms to bring workers to the UK. So, the deal costs £3bn to boost GDP by £4.8bn over 15 years, meaning a net gain for the average Brit of three pence a week – or less, if Indian services firms open UK subsidiaries to rotate staff who don’t have to pay National Insurance rates on three-year secondment contracts, “because markets.” Ironically, that’s as The Guardian says, ‘Keeping Farage from No 10 is ‘a battle for UK’s future, heart and soul’, Labour MPs told’, adding – “In face of ‘economic doom loop’, Labour factions call for reset and demand party tackle populist nationalism head on.” As I saying yesterday on a podcast, one could only posit that either Labour thought an Indian FTA was a riposte to economic nationalism rather than a boost to the political opposition championing it; or there was a larger imminent plan to get the UK, India and the US closer. It seems perhaps to be the latter. Indeed, all it would now need is a US-India trade deal to complete that triangle, and the odds of that happening must surely just have shortened further.Elsewhere on trade, the European Parliament maintained its block on restarting Turkey accession talks, which clarifies its response to Ankara’s offer of military protection for EU entry. That was as Europe’s last manufacturer of ingredients for some vital antibiotics is closing its biggest factory and shifting some production to China. Is this the derisking and strategic autonomy that Europe keeps talking about? Or perhaps that’s the EU planning to tariff Boeing if it doesn’t get the US trade deal it wants? However, as new trade geographies emerge, old realpolitik does too - and not by coincidence.India - Pakistan military clashes are continuing, with Pakistan’s PM calling for “avenge each drop of blood”, not de-escalation. Those who just announced they were shifting supply chains to India now have to scan the headlines for geopolitics. At the same time, with some (questionable) reports that up to 125 fighter jets --a huge number-- may have been involved in a ‘dog fight’ for hours while staying within their own national airspace, which is hardly a dog fight, and claims of up to five of India’s being shot down, military tech analysts are scrutinising who is using which weapons to what effect. Where that was once Russian vs US tech it’s now French vs Chinese, and what is revealed can also potentially impact on trade flows and geopolitics, especially if far cheaper (Chinese) systems are seen triumphing over more expensive (Western) ones.In the Middle East, Trump said the options on Iran’s centrifuges are “Blow them up nicely or blow them up viciously.” That obviously blows for Iran if it wants to keep them. Something certainly seems to be brewing in that region ahead of the Trump visit next week: hopefully not an echo or repeat of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel which many link to then looming Israel-Saudi normalisation that would have opened up a new trade corridor from Europe to India.Indeed, with the sudden US - Houthi ‘ceasefire’, rumoured secret Israel-Syria talks, as its former jihadi president is officially received in France, and suggestions the US may take over administration of Gaza, is Trump’s upcoming “earth-shattering” positive announcement to be Saudi-Israel peace? Or Syria-Israel? Or an Iran nuclear deal? Or Gaza-Lago? Or Trump Tower Tehran? We have to wait to see – but this could be pivotal to energy markets, so to everyone, including central banks: it’s already one of the key factors pushing oil prices down via Saudi actions, which are geopolitical, not “because markets.” Moreover, this is pivotal to the broader US approach towards the Russia-China-Iran-North Korea axis that cuts across geographies and disciplines, including both geopolitics and trade, and markets. Just don’t let the smoke get in your eyes. Tyler DurdenThu, 05/08/2025 - 10:45

Over the last decade, humanity's emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) have stabilized after a period of huge growth. Average growth is now down to just 0.6% per year, compared to 2% per year in the previous decade. But leveling off isn't the same as declining—and we've leveled off at a very high rate of emissions. The Global Carbon Project estimates human activities released a record high of 10.2 gigatons of carbon (GtC) in 2024.
Hideo Kojima has shared some new insight into Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, saying COVID impacted the sequel. In an interview with IGN, Kojima said the original Death Stranding, which was released in 2019, was made based on the theme of "We're in danger of being divided and isolated, so let's connect."Then the COVID pandemic began in 2020, after Death Stranding 2 came out. Having lived through the pandemic, Kojima said he's changed his way of thinking when it comes to connection."After actually experiencing that, I felt that maybe it's not such a good thing to connect so much. That feeling is foreshadowed in lots of different scenes and settings [in Death Stranding 2]. I think there are portions that players will only understand once they reach the end of the game. What I felt during the pandemic is quite strongly reflected within this title," he said.Kojima went on to say he was "truly shocked" by the impact of the pandemic as it relates to how people connect and interact, so much so that he based some of the themes for Death Stranding 2 around it."We started working remotely, while concerts and live events vanished. We had no choice but to rely on the Internet. Children couldn't go to school or play and had to stare at screens all day," he said. "I think we didn't have any other choice at the time. You'd turn on the TV and hear about how the metaverse was the next big thing, but that isn't how human communication works. You don't meet people by chance that way."Death Stranding 2 releases on June 26 for PS5. In addition to the game, Sony is releasing a limited-edition DualSense controller inspired by the game for $85.We recently played 30 hours of Death Stranding 2 and came away wanting to play more.

The first iOS 19 beta is just one month away, and there are already many new features and changes that are expected with it.Apple should seed the first iOS 19 beta to developers immediately following the WWDC 2025 keynote, which is scheduled for Monday, June 9. Following beta testing, the update should be released to the general public in September.Below, we recap the key iOS 19 rumors so far.New Design With Floating Tab BariOS 19 is expected to introduce a new design that looks more like the visionOS operating system on the Apple Vision Pro headset.According to Front Page Tech's Jon Prosser, iOS 19 will have a glass-like appearance, with added translucency for menus, buttons, and other user interface elements. He also expects rounder app icons, and a new floating tab bar in Apple apps.Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also expects iOS 19 to have a visionOS-like design, and he believes the design changes will be the biggest since iOS 7.Stage Manager for iPhonesLast month, a leaker known as Majin Bu claimed that iOS 19 will enable support for at least a limited version of Stage Manager on iPhone models with a USB-C port.In a blog post citing sources, the leaker said that when an iPhone with a USB-C port is connected to an external display, users will be able to take advantage of a Stage Manager-like interface with multiple apps open at once on the screen. However, he said that there might be more limitations compared to Stage Manager on iPads.iPhone models with a USB-C port include all iPhone 15 models and newer.iPhones with both Lightning and USB-C ports can already be connected to external displays, but only for basic screen mirroring.End-to-End Encryption for RCSIn March, Apple said that it plans to add support for end-to-end encrypted RCS messages to the Messages app in future iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS software updates. That likely means iOS 19, macOS 16, and other corresponding updates.Apple promising end-to-end encryption for RCS messages indirectly confirms that it will be adopting the RCS Universal Profile 3.0 specification, which also includes several iMessage-like enhancements that were originally introduced in version 2.7 of the specification. iOS 18 supports RCS Universal Profile 2.4.Here are five new capabilities to expect for RCS conversations on iOS 19:End-to-end encryption, which will prevent Apple and any other third party from being able to read messages and attachments while they are being sent between devicesIn-line repliesEdit messagesUnsend messagesFull-fledged Tapback support for RCS messages, ensuring they always workiMessage conversations with blue bubbles have supported end-to-end encryption by default since iOS 5. In addition, iMessage has supported in-line replies since iOS 14, while the options to edit and unsend iMessages were introduced with iOS 16.Apple has not indicated which iOS version will upgrade RCS, but iOS 19 or a follow-up update like iOS 19.1 or iOS 19.2 seems like a safe bet.Live Translate With AirPodsAt least some AirPods models will be getting a new live translation feature with iOS 19 and an accompanying firmware update, according to Gurman.Here is how that feature will work, according to his report:The capability will work like this: If an English speaker is hearing someone talk in Spanish, the iPhone will translate the speech and relay it to the user's AirPods in English. The English speaker's words, meanwhile, will be translated into Spanish and played back by the iPhone.Google already offers a similar Live Translate feature.He also said iOS 19 will have bolstered translation capabilities, which likely means improvements are coming to the Apple Translate app.Revamped Health App With Coaching FeatureA revamped Health app is expected to debut as early as iOS 19.4 next year.Apple plans to offer a new AI-powered health coaching feature that offers personalized health recommendations, according to Gurman. The information provided by the coaching feature would be accompanied by videos from health experts that inform users about various health conditions and ways to make lifestyle improvements. For example, if the Apple Watch tracks poor heart-rate trends, a video could explain the risks of heart disease.Food tracking will be another big part of the revamped Health app, which could compete with the MyFitnessPal app, according to Gurman.Personalized SiriIn March, Apple delayed the more personalized version of Siri that it previewed at WWDC last year. The company said it anticipated rolling out the Siri upgrades at some point "in the coming year," so the features could launch as part of iOS 19 later this year. However, they could also arrive as part of a later update, such as iOS 19.1 through iOS 19.4.Whenever they launch, the Siri upgrades will include understanding of a user's personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls. For example, during its WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple showed an iPhone user asking Siri about their mother's flight and lunch reservation plans based on info from the Mail and Messages apps.The more personalized Siri features will require an iPhone model that supports Apple Intelligence, so you will need an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, any iPhone 16 model, or any iPhone 17 model launching later this year.EU ChangesIn March, the European Commission announced a long list of changes that Apple is legally required to implement in future iOS 19 and iOS 20 updates.The announcement clarifies interoperability requirements that Apple is required to adhere to in the EU, under the Digital Markets Act, which has been fully enforced since March 2024. The changes will further open up the iPhone and its technologies to competing companies and devices, and Apple is not happy about it. Here are some of the key requirements:Third-party smartwatches must be able to display and interact with iOS notifications by the end of 2025, which likely means iOS 19.2 or earlier.Apple must make its automatic audio switching feature available to third-party headphones by June 1, 2026, which likely means iOS 19.4 or earlier. This is the feature that allows most AirPods and select Beats to automatically switch connection between Apple devices, such as a Mac and an iPhone.Apple must make changes to iOS that allow for third parties to offer equivalent AirDrop alternatives by June 1, 2026.Apple must make changes to iOS that allow for third parties to offer equivalent AirPlay alternatives by iOS 20, or the end of 2026. iOS 20 is expected to be released to the general public in September 2026.The entire list of changes can be found on the European Commission's website.Google Gemini IntegrationIn court last month, Google CEO Sundar Pichai suggested that iOS 19 might include built-in Google Gemini integration.iPhone models with Apple Intelligence have already offered ChatGPT integration since iOS 18.2. With user permission, Siri can show ChatGPT answers directly in response to questions and other prompts. ChatGPT is also an option for Apple's system-wide Writing Tools feature, allowing users to generate text and images. Google Gemini would likely have similar integration across Siri and Writing Tools, becoming a second option alongside ChatGPT.Google Gemini is already available as an iPhone app.CompatibilityAccording to a reliable source of iOS-related information, iOS 19 will be compatible with the iPhone 11 series and newer.This means that iOS 19 would not be available on the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, but those devices would continue to receive security updates.MoreRead our iOS 19 roundup for more details about the upcoming software update.Related Roundup: iOS 19This article, "iOS 19 Beta is a Month Away With These New Features for Your iPhone" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

The U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday kept its key interest rate steady and said tariffs are likely to have a negative effect on the economy. Britain is set to be the first country to sign a trade deal with the U.S., according to The New York Times. U.S. indexes rose Wednesday, buoyed by jumps in stocks like Disney and Nvidia. Asia-Pacific markets followed Wall Street higher Thursday. The Trump administration is preparing to rescind a Biden-era rule restricting artificial intelligence chip exports. Apple’s services chief said he believes AI search engines will replace standard ones such as Google. Trump disclosed that he plans to make a “very, very big announcement.” JPMorgan thinks investors can ride that potential tailwind.When the Federal Open Market Committee met in March, U.S. President Donald Trump had yet to unleash his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on the world.But Fed policymakers were already bracing for the impact of trade barriers. At the conclusion of that meeting, the FOMC lowered its economic forecast for the U.S. and hiked its inflation projection. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said “a good part” of the downbeat forecast “is coming from tariffs.”On April 2, Trump stunned even the most pessimistic of market watchers when he held aloft the board with a list of higher-than-expected tariffs on many countries. Even though Trump has since paused them, the Fed seems to be operating on the (very uncertain) assumption Trump could reinstate those eye-watering levies at any moment.At the FOMC’s most recent meeting that concluded Wednesday, Powell no longer pulled punches in his post-meeting press conference, as he did in March. This time, he placed the responsibility squarely on Trump’s tariffs, saying they “are likely” to cause hotter inflation, slower economic growth and higher unemployment — recipes for a stagflationary scenario.So far, that’s the clearest warning from a U.S. authority about the damage tariffs could wreak. However, considering that Trump has not only expressed frustrations with Powell, but also said on Wednesday he wouldn’t consider lowering the 145% tariff on China to start trade negotiations with the country, it’s unlikely that Trump would heed the Fed’s caution.What you need to know todayThe Fed holds rates and warns of downturnThe U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday kept its key interest rate steady in a range between 4.25%-4.5%, where it has been since December. In his press conference after the Fed meeting, Chair Jerome Powell said Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs were “substantially larger than anticipated,” and “are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment.”Trade deal between Britain and U.S.: New York TimesBritain is set to sign a trade deal with the U.S., according to The New York Times. The report comes after Trump said on Wednesday night stateside that there will be a briefing about a trade deal next day, without revealing any details. If the deal goes through, Britain would be the first country to seal one after Trump imposed tariffs on U.S. imports in April — but it is unclear if the two countries will sign a finalized deal or a framework for an agreement, the NYT said.Stock jumps buoy indexesU.S. stocks rose Wednesday. The S&P 500 added 0.43%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.7%, boosted by a 10.8% jump in Disney shares, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.27% on Nvidia shares rising. Asia-Pacific markets climbed Thursday. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index rose roughly 0.6% as shares of Chinese bubble-tea brand Auntea Jenny shot up as much as 75% on its first day of trading on the city’s stock exchange.White House to simplify chip export rulesNvidia shares jumped 3.1% as the Trump administration prepared to rescind what’s known as the “AI diffusion rule.” The rule, which was proposed by the Biden administration, sorts countries into three different tiers, all of which have different restrictions on whether advanced artificial intelligence chips such as those made by Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices can be shipped to the country without a license.AI could replace search engines: AppleAlphabet shares slumped 7.5% and that of Apple dropped 1.1% after Eddy Cue, Apple’s services chief, said he believes that AI search engines will eventually replace standard ones such as Google, according to Bloomberg. Separately, Apple is asking a court for permission to restart charging a commission on in-app transactions that link out for payment, adding that the prohibition will cost the company “substantial sums.”[PRO] How to play Trump’s ‘very big announcement’On Tuesday, Trump disclosed during an Oval Office meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that he plans to make a “very, very big announcement” prior to his trip to the Middle East next week.

Here’s how Nintendo did in its fiscal fourth quarter ended Mar. 31 versus LSEG estimates: Revenue: 208.7 billion Japanese yen ($1.45 billion), compared with 216.16 billion yen expected. Net profit: 41.6 billion yen, versus 33.91 billion yen expected.Revenue fell 24.7% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period a year earlier, while profit plunged nearly 50%. This was largely expected as Nintendo fans await the Switch 2 and hold off on buying the current console.Investors are also focused on Nintendo’s forecast for the fiscal year. The company expects net sales of 1.9 trillion yen, a 63% year-on-year rise but just short of LSEG estimates of 2 trillion yen. It expects net profit to jump 7.6% to 300 billion yen, below LSEG estimates of 388.8 billion yen.Earlier this year Nintendo slashed its forecast for sales of the Switch to 11 million units for the year ended Mar. 31.

The Switch 2 will start at $449.99 in the U.S. and has improved features compared with its predecessor.Nintendo first launched the original Switch in 2017 and it has become the Japanese gaming giant’s second-best-selling console ever. The firm managed to extend the life of the hardware thanks to hit games involving characters like Super Mario, franchises such as Pokemon and the expansion of its intellectual property into films.Investors are hopeful the company can continue to ride its wave of popularity with shares up 33% this year.However, the Japanese gaming giant in April delayed pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the U.S. after President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on countries around the world. Nintendo’s consoles are manufactured in Vietnam.This is a breaking news story. Please refresh for updates.

FBI Mishandled Investigating Congressional Baseball Shooting, House Committee Finds Authored by Jackson Richman via The Epoch Times,A House Intelligence Committee report released on May 6 says that the FBI mishandled its investigation of the 2017 shooting at a GOP practice one day before the annual Congressional Baseball Game—including not calling the incident domestic terrorism and not interviewing key figures.The committee’s chairman, Rick Crawford (R-Ark.), accused the FBI of holding up the report.“There’s no reasonable or acceptable explanation for why the FBI stonewalled the committee for so long,” he said during a press conference.“In fact, it’s taken so long to get this case file, many of those members at the field on that fateful day are no longer in Congress.”The report found that the FBI did not thoroughly interview victims and eyewitnesses to the shooting, where House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and four others were shot.Scalise was shot in the hip and seriously wounded, requiring several surgeries and a lengthy recovery.Former Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) was not interviewed despite being at the scene during the shooting.The shooter, James Hodgkinson, was shot and killed by Capitol Police, who were already on the scene due to Scalise’s presence as he was a member of House GOP leadership and therefore afforded a security detail.The report also found that the bureau did not come up with a timeline of events surrounding the shooting.The report attempted to dispute the FBI’s claim that the shooting was not connected to domestic terrorism.In a press release following the shooting, the FBI said it “does not believe there is a nexus to terrorism.”The Intelligence Committee report criticized the press release, saying it failed to include information that would have contradicted what the report called the FBI’s “suicide by cop” narrative.“To commit suicide by cop, the perpetrator needs to demonstrate hostile intent in the presence of police. In this case, there were no observable police officers present,” the report said, noting that the officers were dressed in plain clothes.The report said that the FBI’s “conclusions failed to follow the facts, as it reached an unsupported conclusion without completing even the most basic of investigative activities.”The report said that while the FBI cited that Hodgkinson’s brother believed that the aim of the shooting was for Hodgkinson to die by suicide by cop, this was merely the brother’s opinion and not based on any communications.Scalise was made aware of the report by the committee, according to Crawford, who declined to elaborate as he did not want to speak on Scalise’s behalf.In a statement to The Epoch Times, the FBI said it “is committed to working quickly and transparently with Capitol Hill to ensure the American people receive the full truth they deserve.”“We have diligently delivered all requested documents and will continue to cooperate fully with Congress to uphold transparency and accountability,” the bureau said.
