Japanese Yen: Valuation risks and policy coordination – BNY

Finance　　Japanese Yen: Valuation risks and policy coordination – BNY　　BNYs Geoff Yu highlights that the Japanese Yen (JPY) remains significantly undervalued on a Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) basis even as Euro (EUR) and US Dollar (USD) valuations have converged. He notes United States (US) –Japan coordination on exchange rates is already underway and argues Europe should be more proactive, as sustained JPY weakness poses greater competitive risks for Eurozone exporters than for the United States.　　JPY undervaluation and European risks　　“Based on the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) indices, measured by their change over the last five years, the dollar and euro have fully converged in valuation over the past six months. A range breakout would require a significant structural catalyst – the technology drivers behind ”U.S. exceptionalism“ or the ”European strategic autonomy“ theme on defense.”　　“Japan has had no such lift, but there is a difference between ”lack of appreciation“ and the kind of secular depreciation currently witnessed.”　　“The risks of sustained and significant JPY undervaluation are much more of an issue for Europe than the U.S. due to greater export competition, though that has been eroded over time, especially in the automotive sector, where China has significantly

OpenAI Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over ChatGPT Data Sharing With Meta and Google

A class action filed in California federal court accuses OpenAI of disclosing private ChatGPT user data to Meta and Google. The complaint says the company used embedded tracking technology without consumer consent.　　The lawsuit covers United States residents who entered queries on ChatGPT.com. It argues that OpenAI funneled personal questions and account details to two firms whose advertising networks reach billions of people each day.　　What The Complaint Alleges　　The filing centers on tracking technology that Meta and Google supply to website operators for analytics and ad targeting. According to the complaint, OpenAI embedded that code into its ChatGPT site and allowed it to transmit user information automatically.　　The plaintiffs say the disclosed data included query topics, account identifiers, and email addresses tied to individual users. The case argues that consumers had reasonable privacy expectations when using the chatbot. Many people share sensitive financial, medical, and legal questions there.　　The complaint cites a Cyberhaven report estimating that around one percent of data employees paste into ChatGPT is confidential. The figure refers to leaked corporate material. The complaint extends that concern to individuals who use the assistant for advice on health, money, and legal matters.　　The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages and an injunction stopping the practice.

Trump Approval Rating Drops Below 36%—A New Low

Trump‘s net approval rating dipped to -18.9, a record low for his second term, in Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin polling average, following a string of surveys that show Americans have never been more negative about Trumps job performance.　　Trump has a 58.1% disapproval rating and 38.5% approval rating.　　Trump‘s approval rating improved two points, to 36%, from the 34% record low it reached at the end of April in Reuters/Ipsos polling, while 63% said they disapprove of Trump’s job performance (the poll of 1,254 U.S. adults was conducted May 8-11 and has a margin of error of 3).　　Trump‘s weekly approval rating hasn’t risen above 36% since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, after previously hovering at around 40% since last summer.　　The war with Iran negatively impacts views of both Trump and Republicans: 66% of respondents, including 30% of Republicans and 73% of independents, said Trump hasnt clearly explained his goals for the war.　　Three-quarters of respondents, including half of Republicans, said his administration is at least partly to blame for high gas prices, which have gone up 50% since the start of the conflict, while 65% said they believe Republicans are more responsible for the rise in gas prices versus

Is It Time To Sell? Bitcoin Price Enters Redistribution Phase That Previously Led To A 78% Crash

A warning from Bitcoins weekly chart is showing a familiar bear market structure beginning to take shape. According to technical analysis of the weekly chart, Bitcoin has already moved through a topside distribution phase and a range phase beneath it, and the current price action is now forming a redistribution zone.　　The concern is that a similar setup appeared after the 2021 peak before Bitcoin went through a much deeper decline. The last time this setup appeared, it erased nearly 80% of Bitcoins value in under a year.　　Bitcoin Chart Following The 2021 Breakdown Structure　　The analysis compares Bitcoins current weekly chart with the structure that developed during the 2021 to 2022 bear market. In that previous cycle, Bitcoin first created a distribution zone near the top. The price then entered a range phase below that high, creating the appearance of stabilization before the market rolled into a redistribution area.　　The first stage in 2021, which was a Distribution Phase, occurred as Bitcoin reached its then-peak near $69,000. In the current cycle, the same pattern materialized around the $108,000 to $126,000 zone, forming a wide but delineated top. The second stage was a Range Phase, which is a minor consolidation band directly beneath the

US government confirms comprehensive actions on rare earths

Whats actually happening　　The federal response is multi-pronged and, by government standards, moving fast. The Trump administration signed executive orders in 2025 specifically aimed at accelerating rare earth production and established the National Energy Dominance Council, or NEDC, chaired by Burgum himself.　　The NEDC has set ambitious internal timelines. Project identification is targeted within 10 days, and site leasing within 30 days.　　On the financial side, the Department of Energy has announced a $134 million funding allocation dedicated to strengthening domestic rare earth supply chains.　　A January 2026 White House initiative adds another lever: the potential imposition of tariffs on processed critical minerals and their derivatives if international agreements fail to materialize.　　Meanwhile, the permitting process for mining and processing on federal lands is being expedited.　　The geology and the partnerships　　One project getting particular attention is the Sheep Creek deposit in Montana. It boasts the highest-grade rare earth concentrations in the US at 90,000 parts per million, alongside valuable co-products like gallium, scandium, and strontium. The site is being developed in partnership with Idaho National Laboratory, one of the DOEs premier research facilities.　　What this means for investors　　The tariff threat on processed critical minerals adds another variable. If enacted, it could raise costs for US manufacturers that

Bitcoin　　Coinbase Wins USDC Treasury Deployer Seat on Hyperliquid, Circle Handles Cross-Chain Infrastructure – Bitcoin News　　Announced Thursday, the arrangement places Coinbase at the center of USDCs reserve management on Hyperliquid, with Circle handling the technical side through its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol. The agreement also gives Coinbase the right to purchase the brand assets of USDH, the native issued by Native Markets that launched on Hyperliquid in September 2025.　　Hyperliquid described the move in a statement on X: “With Coinbase, in its role as treasury deployer, sharing the vast majority of reserve yield revenue with the protocol, USDC will become the most aligned on Hyperliquid.”　　USDC has been Hyperliquids dominant collateral since the platform launched in 2023. Supply on the network has grown to roughly $5 billion, about double what it was a year ago, making Hyperliquid one of the most concentrated environments for on-chain dollar usage in derivatives trading.　　The AQAv2 upgrade names USDC as the canonical quote asset for future markets under Hyperliquids HIP-4 specification. Both Coinbase and Circle have committed to HYPE tokens to activate the framework. Coinbase has also increased its staked HYPE position beyond what the activation requires.　　Coinbase described the integration in a blog post published the same day: “As

Trump meets Xi in Beijing as Taiwan language and trade terms hang in the balance

Tech　　Trump meets Xi in Beijing as Taiwan language and trade terms hang in the balance　　Donald Trump is in Beijing for whats being called the most significant US-China summit in years, sitting across from Xi Jinping to negotiate trade terms, fentanyl cooperation, and the always-explosive question of Taiwan.　　Whats actually on the table　　The primary agenda covers trade negotiations, cooperation on fentanyl trafficking, discussions involving Iran, and a carefully limited conversation about Taiwan. Secretary Rubio has signaled that no major policy shifts are expected.　　Xi Jinping is reportedly pushing to shift US policy language from “does not support Taiwan independence” to “opposes Taiwan independence.” In practice, the difference between passive non-support and active opposition would send a very different signal to Taipei, to Beijing, and to every government in the Indo-Pacific trying to read the tea leaves.　　Taiwans officials are not thrilled. There are real fears that their national interests could become a bargaining chip, traded away in a broader deal where economic concessions matter more than strategic commitments.　　The White House maintains that US policy on Taiwan remains unchanged, emphasizing that the summit is focused on economic rather than strategic discussions.　　Asian diplomats have warned about a possible arrangement between Beijing and Iran involving the Strait
