THE WASHINGTON POST - Di Isaac Stanley-Becker Il disegno di legge bipartisan mira a frenare l'influenza straniera nella democrazia statunitense. Un disegno di legge della Camera che dovrebbe essere presentato giovedì cerca di frenare l'influenza straniera nella democrazia degli Stati Uniti imponendo il divieto a vita ai membri del Congresso, agli alti dirigenti militari e agli alti funzionari del ramo esecutivo di fare pressioni per un governo o un partito politico straniero, tra le altre misure. La legislazione obbligherebbe anche i gruppi esenti da tasse, compresi i think tank, a rivelare donazioni e doni in dollari elevati da potenze straniere e richiederebbe campagne politiche per verificare che i donatori abbiano un indirizzo statunitense valido, utilizzando il codice CVV a tre cifre sul retro di carte di credito. Le misure proposte, che non sono state segnalate in precedenza, rispondono alla crescente preoccupazione a Capitol Hill che componenti chiave del governo e della società civile rimangano suscettibili alle interferenze straniere, sei anni dopo che il Cremlino ha organizzato una campagna per influenzare le elezioni presidenziali del 2016. La legislazione affronta le questioni portate alla luce più recentemente dall'indagine federale sul fatto che il generale dei marine a quattro stelle in pensione John R. Allen, che si è dimesso nel fine settimana da presidente della Brookings Institution, abbia fatto pressioni per conto del Qatar senza rivelare le sue attività come richiesto ai sensi legge federale. E le proposte arrivano in mezzo a una maggiore applicazione da parte del Dipartimento di Giustizia del Foreign Agents Registration Act, inclusa la decisione del mese scorso di citare in giudizio Steve Wynn , uno sviluppatore e megadonatore repubblicano, per costringerlo a registrarsi come agente della Cina. La portavoce di DeSantis si registra tardivamente come agente di un politico straniero Il disegno di legge ha un sostegno bipartisan. Il suo sponsor principale è il rappresentante Jared Golden, un veterano democratico e marine di un distretto di tendenza conservatrice nel Maine, il quale ha affermato che uno dei principali problemi con il sistema politico statunitense è che "la corruzione è completamente legale o punita con schiaffi sul polso .” Un collaboratore di Golden ha affermato che lo sforzo del membro del Congresso per trovare consenso per un pacchetto mirato di misure anticorruzione è in risposta al rifiuto del GOP di un disegno di legge più ampio sui diritti di voto, sulle elezioni e sull'etica, noto come HR 1 . Insieme a Golden nell'introduzione della legislazione c'erano membri disparati come il rappresentante Katie Porter della California, un avvocato liberale per la protezione dei consumatori e stella emergente democratica, e Paul A. Gosar dell'Arizona, un accolito repubblicano dell'ex presidente Donald Trump che ha diffuso teorie del complotto su tutto, dalla sicurezza elettorale alla recente sparatoria in una scuola a Uvalde, in Texas. Anche il rappresentante Lance Gooden (R-Tex.) è uno sponsor. In una dichiarazione che approva la legislazione di giovedì, Gosar ha sottolineato una misura che cerca una maggiore trasparenza nelle donazioni delle campagne online. "La piena divulgazione dei contributi online assicurerà che il popolo americano conosca le fonti dei soldi della campagna e aiuterà notevolmente a mantenere un sistema di elezioni libere ed eque", ha affermato. La legge federale vieta già i contributi di cittadini stranieri in qualsiasi elezione federale, statale o locale. Ma gli sponsor del disegno di legge affermano che ci sono scappatoie, inclusa l'assenza del requisito che le campagne utilizzino strumenti standard del settore per verificare i dettagli dei contributi online. Porter ha sottolineato la rilevanza bipartisan della normativa. "Gli americani diffidano del governo, indipendentemente da quale partito sia al potere", ha detto. Il negozio di lobby afferma che l'indagine del DOJ sul suo lavoro per Burisma è stata chiusa Le misure, pur non citando Allen o altre persone, sono rese estremamente necessarie dalle recenti accuse, affermano gli sponsor del disegno di legge. Allen, che ha servito come comandante in capo degli Stati Uniti in Afghanistan dal 2011 al 2013, ha affermato che il suo contatto iniziale con un donatore politico che ora sta scontando una pena detentiva di 12 anni era correlato alla creazione di un consiglio militare per il governo del Qatar, secondo un mandato di perquisizione depositato presso il tribunale distrettuale degli Stati Uniti per il distretto centrale della California. Gli atti del tribunale mostrano che l'indagine è incentrata sul fatto che Allen abbia segretamente esortato l'amministrazione Trump a moderare le sue critiche al Qatar nel 2017, quando il paese ha dovuto affrontare sanzioni in relazione alle accuse di sostegno all'estremismo islamista. Un portavoce di Allen ha affermato che il generale in pensione "non ha fatto nulla di improprio o illegale, non ha mai agito come agente del Qatar o di alcun governo o preside straniero e non ha mai ostacolato la giustizia". Gli sponsor del disegno di legge indicano anche uno studio del 2020 del Center for International Policy con sede a Washington che ha rilevato che i principali think tank della nazione hanno ricevuto almeno 174 milioni di dollari di finanziamenti da potenze straniere tra il 2014 e il 2018. Tra quelli che hanno ricevuto la maggior parte dei finanziamenti esteri, secondo all'analisi, era Brookings. Un portavoce di Brookings ha affermato che il think tank "ha forti politiche di indipendenza per garantire che nessun sostenitore finanziario influenzi i risultati della ricerca o le raccomandazioni politiche dei suoi esperti". A seguito di una revisione nel 2019, Brookings ha iniziato a sottoporre i donatori stranieri a un controllo più approfondito, inclusa una valutazione dello "stato democratico e del track record del finanziatore nel sostegno alla società civile indipendente", ha affermato il portavoce. La maggior parte dei think tank organizzati come organizzazioni senza scopo di lucro non hanno alcun obbligo di rivelare i propri donatori, sebbene alcuni, come Brookings, lo facciano volontariamente. La legislazione di Golden e altri richiederebbe la divulgazione di doni e donazioni da potenze straniere superiori a $ 50.000 in un dato anno.

Upside momentum continues with S&P futures edging higher, looking to make it a 9th straight day of gains overall, and the Nasdaq Composite looking at an 11th straight day of advances, with no signs of caution by investors heading into key inflation data today and tomorrow. The producer price index (PPI) for October is expected at 8:30 AM, and the consumer price index (CPI) tomorrow, but still no concerns exhibited in the bond market with the 10-year yield at its lowest level in 2-weeks around 1.45%, while gold prices are steady at $1,829 an ounce. The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high for the eighth consecutive session last night, extending the longest winning streak since 1997, as investors added the impact of $1 trillion in fresh government stimulus. That coupled with removed travel lockdowns, a strong earnings season, and positive vaccine news has boosted stocks over the last month. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index fell -0.75% to 29.285, the Shanghai Index gained 0.24% to settle at 3,507 and the Hang Seng Index rose 0.2% to 24,813. In Europe, the German DAX is up 45 points to 16,090, while the FTSE 100 rise 0.2% to 7,313. Stocks keep pushing higher, making new all time highs each day the past week for the Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Russell 2000.

Materials and some consumer products are getting a boost after the U.S. and European Union reached a trade truce on steel and aluminum tariffs over the weekend. The two sides were working hard to reach a deal before Dec. 1, when the European retaliatory tariffs were set to double; the 25% tariffs will apply to EU exports beyond 3.3 million tons, Bloomberg reported. The EU agreed to drop retaliatory tariffs on U.S. motorcycles, jeans and bourbon whiskey per Bloomberg (shares of names like HOG looking higher). Earnings optimism also continues to offset concern over a near-term move on tapering from the Federal Reserve that could add to signals of slowing growth in the supply chain-snarled economy, ahead of the FOMC meeting later this week.

@everyone Monday, September 20, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -529.00 1.54% 33,933 S&P 500 -56.75 1.28% 4,365 Nasdaq -154.00 1.00% 15,172 U.S. indices are trading down over 1% in pre-market trading and touching their lowest levels in almost 2 months this morning as large Chinese real estate developer Evergrande’s debt crisis is weighing on Asian markets and several macroeconomic factors are making investors wary. The Federal Reserve’s two-day September meeting begins tomorrow where they may lay out plans to begin tapering bond purchases and its quarterly dot plot will provide a forecast on when the central bankers expect to hike interest rates from their current levels of 0-0.25%. Additionally, the federal government is currently facing the threat of running out of money October 1 unless Congress raises the debt ceiling, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend imploring Congress to raise it as the Treasury will exhaust its cash reserves and borrowing capacity sometime next month if no action is taken. Today’s move lower comes after the S&P closed below its 50-day moving average for the 1st time since June 18th on Friday with materials and technology companies struggling. Late Friday, an FDA panel decided not to recommend a booster for the Pfizer vaccine for people 16 years and older by a vote of 16-3 saying there was not enough data to determine the step-up effectiveness of the third shot. However, the panel unanimously approved a narrower vote of authorizing booster dose of Pfizer/BioNTech covid-19 vaccine at least 6 months after full vaccination for people 65 and older and those at high risk for severe disease (a narrower approval than markets were hoping for). The University of Michigan’s preliminary sentiment index edged up in August, but buying conditions for household durables, homes and motor vehicles all fell to the lowest in decades due to complaints about high prices. The dollar rose while precious metals mostly fell, as gold posted a second straight weekly drop ahead of the FOMC meeting later this week. A potential hike in corporate taxes could eat into earnings also weigh on markets, with leading Democrats seeking to raise the top tax rate on corporations to 26.5% from the current 21%. In Asian markets, the Hang Seng Index is plunging 821 points while Tokyo and Shanghai markets are closed for holiday. In Europe, the German DAX is down 367 points and the FTSE 100 is lower by 118 points.

By Alun John HONG KONG (Reuters) - Asian shares fell on Wednesday as weaker-than-expected Chinese economic data reinforced worries about slowing global growth, amid fraught nerves over pandemic-related business disruptions and central banks' plans to taper stimulus. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dropped 0.61%, while Tokyo's Nikkei shed 0.49%, moving off a more than 31-year closing-high the day before. After the data, Chinese blue chips were down 0.73%, but pared earlier losses on hopes Beijing will roll out more stimulus. However, futures indicated a steadier open for European and U.S. equity markets, with the pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.08% and FTSE futures 0.11% higher. A burst of data out of China showed growth in its factory and retail sectors continued to falter in August with output and sales growth hitting one-year lows as fresh coronavirus outbreaks and supply disruptions threatened its economic recovery. Retail sales grew at the slowest pace since August 2020 and missed analysts' expectations, while industrial output also rose at a weaker pace from July, underscoring recent signs of slackening momentum in China and adding to expectations that Beijing will need to offer more support measures in coming months. "This is not a dip, it is a falling trend that will last at least until the end of this year," said Iris Pang, chief China economist at ING. Pang said she anticipated a 0.5 percentage point cut in Chinese banks' reserve requirement ratio (RRR) in October, and said more fiscal support was needed for small- and medium-sized companies. Shares in property developer Evergrande, which is scrambling to raise funds to pay its many lenders and suppliers, fell for the third consecutive day on Wednesday, losing as much as 5.1% to their lowest since January 2014. Rating agency Fitch said that numerous sectors could be exposed to heightened credit risk if China's No.2 property developer were to default, although the overall impact on the banking sector would be manageable. Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng index shed 1.4%, as casino stocks plunged after Macau began a public consultation which investors fear will lead to tighter regulations in the world's largest gambling hub. An index tracking gaming stocks fell 20%, while Wynn Macau (OTC:WYNMF) fell as much as 34% to a record low. Markets also remained focused on the Federal Reserve's timeline for tapering its massive emergency stimulus. “There is uncertainty in markets at the moment as investors wait to see what the Federal Reserve will do about tapering their asset purchases, which depends on the state of the labour market and the inflation situation,” said Sean Debow Asia CEO of Eurizon Asset Management. Debow said greater clarity would emerge on both in the coming weeks, though for now markets were quick to react to any data points on employment and inflation. Overnight the U.S. Labor Department reported the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in August posted its smallest gain in six months, suggesting inflation has probably peaked, aligning with Fed Chair Jerome Powell's long-held belief that high inflation is transitory. Lower inflation suggests the Fed will be under less pressure to begin trimming its vast asset purchases, and, as a result, the yield on the benchmark 10-year note US10YT=RR fell as low as 1.263%, its lowest since Aug. 24. Yields recovered slightly and were little changed in Asia on Wednesday at 1.284%, while the dollar was steady also having slipped against a basket of its peers on the inflation figures. Other currencies were also largely steady in Asian hours, with sterling particularly quiet ahead of British CPI figures. A strong reading could potentially add pressure on the Bank of England to raise rates. Oil prices gained on a larger than expected drawdown in crude oil stocks in the United States, with U.S. crude gaining 0.68% to $70.94 a barrel and Brent crude rising 0.61% to $74.05 per barrel. [O/R] Spot gold was little changed, trading at $1802.0374 per ounce off having fallen from a one week peak of $1,808.50 on which it hit on prospects for lower interest rates. [GOL/]

Thursday, August 5, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 55.00 0.16% 34,745 S&P 500 9.25 0.22% 4,404 Nasdaq 33.50 0.22% 15,107 U.S. futures are looking up modestly, rising roughly about 0.2% across the board into one of the heaviest days of corporate earnings of the season, as major averages continue to hold not far off record highs. The S&P 500 index has held the pivotal 4,400 level for over a week now, as overall major averages have moved sideways for two or three weeks now, bolstered by rising on better economic data, earnings results, and an accommodative Fed, which has offset rising Delta variant concerns and fears of further global restrictions to contain the rise in cases and tighter government restrictions in China. Oil prices edge higher after sliding sharply the last 3-days on demand concerns. Bitcoin prices are down about 4% holding just above the $38,000 level while Ethereum slips nearly 4% to 2,600 in the crypto sector. Ahead of tomorrow’s nonfarm payrolls report, investors will get two more labor market data points with the Challenger jobs report at 7:30 and the weekly jobless claims. Euro Stoxx 50 rises 0.5% around best levels for the week. Wednesday’s after-hours big-name earnings were disappointing for the most part, which could weigh on sentiment. Major averages ended the session mixed on Wednesday, following conflicting signals on the economy that showed a hot services sector, but a labor market that continues to struggle to find workers. The Institute for Supply Management survey on Wednesday jumped to a record high of 64.1 in July, but the ADP Employment Report showed private payrolls only rose by 330,000 last month, well shy of the 695,000 estimate ahead of tomorrow’s payrolls. The Dow Jones saw the biggest fall, dragged lower by a decline of more than 6% in Amgen in the wake of its quarterly results, accounting for about 103 points to the downside while energy was the weakest sector on the day, suffering its biggest daily percentage drop since July 19. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index gained 144 points to 27,728, the Shanghai Index dipped -10 points to 3,466 and the Hang Seng Index declined -221 points (0.84%) to settle at 26,204. In Europe, markets are little changed as the German DAX is up a few points at the 15,700 level, while the FTSE 100 is down a couple of points at 7.120.
