Stock markets were doing well in Asia until it seemed like a leak of tonight’s US unemployment print by Trump spitting his dummy calling for Fed Chair Powell’s resignation. This saw most equities pull back alongside S&P futures while the USD firmed against the undollars, with Yen easing off as speculation the BOJ may raise The post Macro Afternoon appeared first on MacroBusiness. |

The St Louis Fed recently did an interesting AI survey that suggested the benefits of AI are large in certain areas but far from uniform. For each generative AI user, we computed the percentage of working hours saved as the ratio of time saved in the previous week to hours worked in that same week.

Wokey has been trying to turn Australia into a Chinese satrap for a few years now. It is little more than jingoistic and self-serving ignorance as it bristles about losing Big Tech revenues, but it’s currently in tune with local Trump Derangement Syndrome, so it is more dangerous than usual.

The trend of a falling major party vote isn’t quite the same in Tasmania as it is on the mainland. While the major parties maintained their dominance for longer in federal politics, and in most states, as far back as 1989 we saw the Greens poll 17% of the primary vote. From 1989 until 2021, the total size of the major party vote didn’t shift by that much. While the Greens have occasionally polled higher than their 1989 result, it remains one of their higher results. And the votes for the two major parties have usually stayed within the same range. |

One of the narratives put forward for high levels of immigration into Australia is that migrants are required to build sorely needed homes. At face value it seems to make sense.

Those who enjoy fables are in luck. The nuclear associatives have always proclaimed that nuclear power means independence. Humor. France has just been expelled from Niger, and our impeccable lobby is forced to sell itself to Kazakhstan, at Putin's behest, to obtain its uranium. Putin, the master of the energy game.
