Rachel Reeves, appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in July, has indicated that the upcoming Autumn Budget will include significant tax increases and spending cuts to rectify the financial issues left by the previous government. This has led to decreased business and consumer confidence, an increase in voluntary liquidations, and reports of capital flight.
Apple's recent AI launch has not significantly boosted iPhone demand, according to UBS analysts, who noted a lack of a compelling use case. Wait times for the iPhone 16 models have not improved compared to last year, indicating softer demand despite the introduction of new features. UBS maintains a 'neutral' rating for Apple, with a share price target of $236.
Copper, known as "the gold of the energy transition," is crucial for sustainable energy systems due to its excellent conductivity. Following a sharp correction after a peak in May, experts suggest this downturn may present a prime entry opportunity for investors, especially with predictions of a supercycle driven by supply shortages. Three promising copper stocks are highlighted for their potential to benefit from a future price rise.
Rachel Reeves delivered a historic UK budget, marking the first time a woman has presented the budget. This event is significant not only for its gender milestone but also for being one of the largest tax-raising measures in recent decades, aimed at strengthening the British economy.
Switzerland has been ranked the most competitive economy in the world for the ninth consecutive year, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report. The country excels in innovation, education, and a flexible labor market, while also demonstrating a strong capacity to absorb new technologies. As the importance of talent grows in the global economy, Switzerland leads in attracting talent, positioning itself well for future competitiveness.
India and Saudi Arabia are set to enhance cooperation in the fertilizer, petrochemical, and mining sectors, as discussed in a meeting between Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and Saudi Minister Bandar bin Ibrahim Alkhorayef in Riyadh. Goyal emphasized the exploration of potential areas for collaboration to boost trade and investments during his official visit.
The UK energy sector, pivotal to the government's growth strategy post-July 4 election, received minimal new funding in Chancellor Rachel Reeves's recent budget. While there were updates on nuclear power, home heating decarbonization, and carbon pricing, significant financial decisions are anticipated in the upcoming multi-year spending review next Spring.
The UK government has increased capital gains tax rates, with the higher rate rising to 28% from 24% and the lower rate to 18% from 10%. Chancellor Rachel Reeves emphasized that despite the hike, the UK remains competitive with lower rates than other G7 European countries, highlighting the Labour government's commitment to fostering entrepreneurship.
UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a tax increase on second home purchases, raising the stamp duty land tax surcharge by two percentage points to 5%, effective Thursday. Additionally, the current exemptions for first-time buyers on properties up to £425,000 will end in April 2025.
The outcome of the upcoming US election could significantly impact Europe's regulatory stance on big tech, with concerns about corporate dominance and antitrust actions at the forefront. While Biden's administration aligned with EU ambitions to rein in tech giants, uncertainty looms over how a potential Harris or Trump administration would approach regulation, especially given their mixed signals and ties to Silicon Valley. The fate of key antitrust figures like Lina Khan will also be a critical indicator of future transatlantic tech policy.
