Euro softens below 1.1600 as markets price in Fed rate hike

The EUR/USD pair declines to near 1.1585 during the early Asian session on Monday. The pair extends the decline amid aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) rate-hike bets following hotter US inflation reports. Traders brace for the Fed interest rate decision later on Wednesday.　　The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) accelerated in August, reinforcing expectations that the US central bank will raise interest rates next week. Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday showed that the US CPI rose 0.4% MoM in August, putting the 12-month increase at 3.4%. Both readings came in line with market expectations.　　Meanwhile, the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased by 0.3% on a monthly basis, versus 0.2% prior, beating the forecast of 0.2%.　　Financial markets have priced in nearly a 91% probability of a quarter-point rate hike at the Feds September meeting, up from 72% before the US PPI data, according to the CME FedWatch tool.　　“There‘s no guarantee that the Fed will hike next week, but it’s hard to see how the central bank can justify leaving rates on hold,” said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Northlight Asset Management.　　Discover more　　Finance　　NEWS　　Brokerages a daily close below this cluster would expose the pair to

India launches tokenized bond pilot with $107M issued

Indias securities regulator and central bank have launched a tokenized corporate bond pilot, with three companies issuing a combined 10.25 billion rupees (about $107 million) through the new market infrastructure.　　On Thursday, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said Demat 2.0 allows corporate bonds to be issued and held as digital tokens on a distributed ledger owned by the country‘s statutory depositories. The system connects to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) through its Unified Market Interface.　　The first issuance came from public-sector lender REC, which raised 5 billion rupees from 18 investors on Monday. Engineering conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) raised another 5 billion rupees from four investors on Wednesday, while non-bank lender IIFL issued 250 million rupees in bonds to one investor on the same day.　　SEBI said the infrastructure allows issuers to receive funds on the day of bidding instead of two to three days later. The regulator said atomic settlement removes the delay between the movement of money and bonds, while smart contracts can automate interest and redemption payments.　　Pilot expands beyond initial REC plan　　In August, Reuters reported that India planned to test tokenized corporate bonds through an REC issuance of less

Key TakeawaysAccording to the charitys co-founder, Manifund hired Caroline Ellison on Aug. 10 after she spent weeks working publicly as “Carol.”Ellison served 14 months in confinement before landing her first public post-FTX job.Manifunds Sept. 11 reveal has reopened the FTX-era debate over redemption and second chances.　　Caroline Ellison Became ‘Carol’　　The girl who had a relationship with Sam Bankman-Fried and testified against the former FTX boss is now working for a charity dedicated to effective-altruism.

Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google weigh a shared AI standards body

Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have talked about forming a collaborative industry standards body, according to a report by The Information. This would give the largest frontier laboratories an opportunity to lay down the safety standards against which their own models will be evaluated.　　For companies evaluating whether to utilize frontier models for sensitive tasks or not, the introduction of common standards would increase their certainty about adoption. But this same framework might empower the largest players. The OECD has previously warned that high fixed expenses, lack of computing resources, and concentrated infrastructure already make it difficult for companies to enter the AI market. Compliance costs might add yet another hurdle that smaller laboratories have to face.　　The proposals already on the table　　On July 14, Demis Hassabis, the head of Google DeepMind, suggested an initiative for a U.S.-based Frontier AI Standards Body, inspired by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).　　In his proposal, frontier labs would voluntarily submit their advanced technologies for assessment, with an evaluation period of 30 days before their release. The evaluators would assess the safety of the technologies to make sure they do not present any risks, such as cybersecurity, biological threats, or manipulation.　　Discover more　　Brokerages & Day Trading　　FINANCE　　Merchant Services &

Thailand SEC Eyes $151K Daily Stablecoin Cap

Thailands Securities and Exchange Commission has opened consultations on new stablecoin regulations, proposing a daily transfer cap of roughly $151,000 per person as part of an effort to tighten oversight of digital-asset payments. The proposal aims to ensure that deposits and withdrawals occur only through verified accounts, reducing the financial risks associated with money laundering and cybercrime.　　The proposal　　Under the proposed rules, each person would face a one-way transfer limit of about $151,000 per day. The cap is designed to mitigate the risks tied to illicit activity while still allowing compliant firms and everyday users to move funds. The consultation is the latest sign that Thai regulators are looking to formalize guardrails around stablecoins as their use in payments grows, and it gives the market a clearer picture of how the country intends to supervise a rapidly expanding asset class.　　Exemptions and scope　　Transfers between regulated operators that comply with the Travel Rule would not be subject to the cap, an effort to balance regulatory oversight with operational flexibility for licensed institutions. That carve-out means institutional and compliant-to-compliant transfers could continue without hitting the daily limit, while retail and unverified flows face tighter scrutiny. The Travel Rule requires financial institutions to share information
