It's finally Friday, friend-o. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I've made it through another week of procrastination (AKA talking too much).
I spend a lot of my day thinking about writing. Then I talk for hours with colleagues about anything and everything. But once my stress hits a breaking point, I might finally hunker down with noise-canceling headphones to write.
I want a free vacation, buds. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I'm excited about a bunch of compensated travel opportunities coming up. Taiwan is paying tourists' expenses. A northern region of Italy is paying people to visit.
Good Morning. I'm Jason Ma, writing to you from Los Angeles. Between fighting inflation or the bank crisis, the Federal Reserve leaned toward the former. Not only did policymakers raise rates by another quarter point, dashing some hopes for a pause in tightening, the so-called dot plot of their forecasts indicated another increase is coming later this year.
It's the middle of the week, 10 Things in Techies. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and for the first decade or so that I worked, I was always paid in cash. I didn't put much of it into a bank, because I didn't really understand how it worked.
So I hid it in different places, keeping a mental tally of my cash stash.
I'd be pretty upset if I mistaked one of my decoy reserves for a pot of proverbial gold. But that's almost exactly what happened to JPMorgan Chase.
There is a crucial Fed decision looming today. It's the next big input for markets after weeks of turmoil that saw three US banks fail and a large European bank taken over in an emergency deal brokered by the government and regulators. All that while inflation is hovering at 6% on an annual basis here at home.
It's techie Tuesday, buds. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I really enjoy cooking and eating food.
That's why this Googler is living my dream life. He's a manager at the search giant by day and culinary school student by night. The company even pays a portion of Harrison Hill's tuition for the Institute for Culinary Education in New York.
Good morning, readers. Markets reporter George Glover here, writing to you from London while my colleague Phil Rosen is off on a well-deserved vacation.
You've probably already clocked that the biggest story in markets right now is happening on this side of the Atlantic, with investors still mulling over UBS's $3 billion rescue of its old foe Credit Suisse.
Today, I'm unpacking the biggest winners and losers from the takeover.
$100K apparently isn't that much, pals. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I'm definitely feeling a financial strain in San Diego.
A new study found that if you make $100,000 in NYC, it only "feels like" $36,000. Meanwhile, the same study found that San Diegans need to make even more than New Yorkers to live comfortably. Imagine moving to New York to save some money. Wild.
Good morning. I'm senior editor, Max Adams, standing in for Phil Rosen.
It's official: UBS will take over Credit Suisse in a historic deal.
The Swiss National Bank made the announcement Sunday, saying that with the takeover, "a solution has been found to secure financial stability and protect the Swiss economy in this exceptional situation."
