Trump Just Refused MBS’ Request to Strike the Houthis.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly called Trump twice on Thursday, asking for U.S. strikes as Houthi forces seized Mocha and moved closer to the critical Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Trump declined, keeping U.S. forces focused on Iran while providing Saudi Arabia with intelligence and targeting support.
The stakes are rising: Hormuz is already disrupted, while roughly 7% of global oil output passes through Bab el-Mandeb. Saudi exports were also disrupted in August.
Two oil chokepoints. Two conflicts. One increasingly fragile energy market.
Warren Buffett Is Sitting on Nearly 400 BILLION DOLLARS as Markets Become a "Casino."
Berkshire holds roughly 380 billion dollars in net cash and equivalents, while Buffett says markets increasingly resemble "a church with a casino attached."
He also admits he understands fewer businesses today than 10 years ago — and Berkshire has remained highly selective despite record markets.
Buffett isn’t predicting collapse. But he’s keeping one of the biggest war chests in history ready.
Nasdaq Says Europe’s 100 BILLION EURO Tokenization Cap Is Too Small.
Nasdaq and other financial firms are pushing back on the EU’s proposed 100 billion euro ceiling for tokenized securities, warning it could restrict the market before it scales.
Their preferred solution: remove the cap entirely — or raise it dramatically. Some European projects already reach around 350 billion euros, more than 3x the proposed limit.
Europe wants tokenization. Wall Street says it needs room to grow.
"The Key Is Rates." September’s Market Could Come Down to the Fed.
Investment strategist Brian Belski says September leaves stocks vulnerable to macro surprises before earnings season returns in October.
He remains bullish into year-end as earnings broaden beyond the Magnificent Seven — but rates remain the wildcard. Current data has pushed markets back toward expecting a September Fed hike.
September isn’t just about seasonality anymore. It’s about the Fed.
Trump Is Promising Americans Another 5,000 Dollar "Dividend."
Trump says every U.S. adult could receive 5,000 dollars if Republicans win both chambers in the midterms. With roughly 240 million adults, the proposal could cost around 1.2 trillion dollars.
It follows earlier ideas including a 5,000 dollar DOGE dividend and 2,000 dollar tariff dividend — neither has been issued.
The promises keep getting bigger. The checks still haven’t arrived.
Des mineurs de Bitcoin abandonnent le Bitcoin au profit de l’IA.
Des mineurs publics ont signé plus de 70 milliards de dollars de contrats IA/HPC, certains étant susceptibles de générer jusqu’à 70 % de leurs revenus issus de l’IA d’ici la fin de l’année. Le taux de hachage minier parmi les principaux opérateurs diminue déjà, tandis que la puissance se déplace vers les centres de données.
IREN est l’un des exemples les plus parlants : l’entreprise convertit rapidement ses infrastructures de minage en capacité IA, alors que la demande explose.
Le Bitcoin et l’IA se disputent désormais la même chose : l’électricité.
Trezor’s Legitimate Email Domain Was Used to Send a Crypto Phishing Attack.
Hackers breached Trezor’s third-party email provider and sent a fake "Critical Security Alert: STM32 Entropy Vulnerability" warning designed to scare users over their recovery phrases. Trezor says the vulnerability is fake and its devices are not affected.
It follows the ShipMonk breach that exposed data from 80,689 Trezor customers.
When even the sender is legitimate, "check the email address" is no longer enough.
Le $LAPTOP de Hunter Biden s’est écrasé à 97,8% dès sa PREMIÈRE HEURE.
La memecoin a été lancée autour de 200 $ avant de s’effondrer à environ 4,36 $ en l’espace d’une heure. Ce prix de départ impliquait une valorisation d’environ 200 milliards de dollars — mais la liquidité était extrêmement faible.
La liquidité Uniswap plus profonde n’est arrivée qu’après que le $LAPTOP soit déjà tombé de plus de 90%.
200 milliards de dollars sur le papier. Presque aucune liquidité en dessous.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he has "pretty good insight" into what Japan, the BOJ and policymakers may do next after the U.S. and Japan jointly intervened to support the yen on July 31.
His message to traders betting against the yen:
"You can bet against me if you want."
With the BOJ reportedly leaning toward another rate hike, Bessent is making the warning explicit.
The U.S. Treasury just challenged the market to take the other side.
CENTCOM says Iran’s IRGC fired ballistic missiles at a U.S. Navy warship twice in two days. The ship evaded both attacks and no Americans were harmed.
The U.S. responded by destroying five Iranian crude carriers, after destroying three more just days earlier. CENTCOM says the vessels were tied to a multibillion-dollar network funding the IRGC and its proxies.
Eight tankers in four days. The U.S.–Iran conflict is escalating fast.
Can the CLARITY Act Pass With Trump’s 1.4 BILLION DOLLAR Crypto Stake Hanging Over It?
Trump reportedly earned over 1.4 billion dollars from crypto ventures in 2025, making presidential ethics the biggest obstacle to the bill.
Democrats are demanding stronger restrictions on presidential crypto interests, while the Sept. 15 Senate vote needs 60 votes to advance. Even Republican Sen. Thom Tillis warns the bill could fail without an ethics compromise.
The biggest threat to America’s crypto bill may now be Trump’s own crypto empire.
La loi CLARITY vient de rencontrer un PROBLÈME DE CALENDRIER MAJEUR.
Les républicains de la Chambre ont annulé le vote pour les semaines du 21 septembre et du 28 septembre, ne laissant que quatre jours de vote avant que les élus ne rentrent à la maison avant les élections de mi-mandat.
Le vote du 15 septembre au Sénat n’est qu’une étape procédurale. Si les sénateurs modifient la loi CLARITY, le projet doit revenir à la Chambre avant d’arriver sur le bureau de Trump.
Cette fenêtre est désormais extrêmement courte — rapprochant le projet d’une session de « lame duck » post-électorale.
Les États-Unis paient plus de 1 TRILLION DE DOLLARS d’intérêts — désormais, le Trésor élargit ses propres rachats de dette.
Alors que la dette fédérale dépasse 40 000 milliards de dollars et que les rendements obligataires flambent, le Trésor augmente ses rachats à long terme à partir du 9 septembre, en doublant certaines opérations, de 2 milliards à au moins 4 milliards de dollars.
Important : l’opération de 12,5 milliards de dollars correspond à un rachat de gestion de trésorerie, et non à un nouveau plan de sauvetage soudain ni à un programme d’assouplissement quantitatif (QE). Le Trésor a procédé à des rachats de manière régulière.
Le problème de la dette de l’Amérique devient de plus en plus coûteux.
