Getty Images By James Smith, Developed Markets Economist, UK One month ago, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey told us markets were getting ahead of themselves on rate hike pricing. That feels like the underlying message from the April decision, which keeps interest rates at 3.75%. But it’s also clear the Bank is inching closer to a rate hike in June. That’s narrowly now our base case. Like everyone else, the Bank is dealing with the uncertainty through scenarios. Its middle scenario B is largely premised on current market pricing. Oil quickly eases back below 100 USD/bbl, and natural gas stays roughly where we are now through most of this year before moving gradually lower. Crucially, that scenario generates virtually no second-round effects on inflation, the Bank thinks; the impact on wage growth is marginal. In that scenario, it seems like most officials are still edging towards keeping Bank Rate on hold this year – even if its model-based simulations, including its policy report, point to one, maybe two hikes, even with energy prices coming swiftly lower. Governor Bailey characterised the decision not to cut, which is what the Bank was likely to have done pre-war, as in effect a decision to tighten policy. The elephant in the room here is that the crisis in the Middle East is showing little sign of resolving. And the chances of us ending up in a less benign scenario are rising. Admittedly, the Bank’s more extreme scenario is indeed extreme. It assumes natural gas prices double – something that feels unlikely right now. And remember that natural gas prices are arguably more important for UK inflation – and the risk of second round effects – than oil. Still, our own base case is a little more aggressive on energy prices than the Bank’s middle scenario – and with every day that passes without the Strait of Hormuz reopening, the more likely it is that energy prices stay more elevated for longer. Our own UK inflation forecasts, peaking a touch above 4% this year,...

Australian home prices rose last month at the slowest pace since January 2025, weighed down by large declines Sydney and Melbourne, as rising borrowing costs hurt demand. Every capital city reported weaker growth in April, property consultancy Cotality said in a report on Friday. The two biggest cities — Sydney and Melbourne — fell 0.6% apiece. Perth was the outperformer, clocking 2.1% growth, while Brisbane and Adelaide recorded rises of more than 1%, the report showed. That left the combined capitals index up 0.2%. The national Home Value Index, which includes regional Australia, rose 0.3% in April. “The housing market was losing momentum from late last year as affordability and serviceability constraints weighed on demand,” said Tim Lawless , Cotality’s research director. “Now we have the additional downside pressure of higher interest rates, sentiment has fallen off a cliff, and rising inflation is set to drive the cost of debt even higher.” The report comes just a couple of days before the Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to deliver a third consecutive rate hike to take the cash rate to 4.35% as it seeks to rein in inflation. Financial market pricing implies a chance of two further rate rises after that. Sydney has one of the least affordable housing markets in the developed world, with median prices near A$1.3 million ($890,000). It’s rare for prices in the harbor city to fall — the market saw a brief period of declines between October 2024 and January 2025. Prior to that, it fell 12.4% over the year to January 2023 as interest rates rose from all-time lows. Bloomberg Intelligence expects Sydney’s three-year home price rally to end this year, with analysts led by Patrick Wong predicting a 1% decline driven by the RBA’s latest rate tightening campaign. The Cotality report showed rents rose another 0.6% in April to be 5.7% higher over the year — the fastest annual pace since October 2024. Sydney remains the most expensive market for renters with the median ...

The author reads her account of her time as a senior executive at Facebook with a mixture of dark humour and astonishment at the working culture in which she finds herself Sarah Wynn-Williams’s memoir documenting her seven years working at Facebook opens, unexpectedly, with a shark attack. The New Zealander was 13 years old and swimming in the sea when the shark bit her torso and shook her from side to side. She lived to tell the tale, but her near-death experience awakened in her a desire to leave the world better than she found it. Wynn-Williams went on to take a job at Facebook’s public policy department in 2011, having seen the potential of the platform as a global meeting place. But what she found was a senior staff high on power and untroubled by ethical concerns such as privacy or the dissemination of hate speech and misinformation. All were resistant to political interference and dedicated to rapid expansion, no matter the consequences, claims that Meta has called out of date and false. The author also encountered a working culture where employees enjoyed perks but had to be available around the clock – a situation that led to her responding to emails while in labour.

We are stuck in a deluge of meaningless content that threatens human creativity. Here’s a simple way to mitigate its harms As the US midterm elections approach, voters are voicing concern about AI. According to an NBC News poll of registered voters , 57% believe the risks of AI outweigh the benefits. A rising political cohort is particularly concerned. A Pew Research poll showed that 61% of adults under 30 say more AI in society will make people worse at creative thinking. A recent Quinnipiac poll showed that 74% of Americans think the government is not doing enough to regulate AI. Can you blame them? The CEOs of the largest AI companies chose a curious tactic: scaring their prospective users into submission. “Use it or get left behind” is the narrative, buttressed by gleeful proclamations that AI will destroy whole industries and cultural institutions.

A standoff between Gulf oil giants Saudi Arabia and the UAE could cause greater market volatility for years to come The conflict in the Middle East has claimed Opec as the latest casualty of war. The United Arab Emirates’ shock exit from the oil cartel on Tuesday after 60 years is expected to weaken the alliance, which under the leadership of Saudi Arabia has helped to soothe volatility in the global oil market for decades. Global oil prices reached the highest level in four years on Thursday, rising above $126 a barrel. But as the region grapples with the continuing conflict, a fresh war may be brewing in the international oil markets, which could lead to greater market volatility for years to come.

A Canadian social enterprise hopes to help solve the urgent need for retrofits and shortage of skilled workers John Mava was looking for work when a construction project started behind his house. When he visited the site and saw how different construction was in Canada compared with his native Nigeria, his interest was piqued. “I said it would be great for me to have knowledge about this,” said Mava, who learned that in Canada, construction uses timber rather than bricks and has a focus on the environment.

1X Technologies AS, the Norway-founded robotics startup backed by OpenAI, has opened a new 58,000-square-foot factory in Hayward, California, where it aims to be one of the first players to build humanoids for consumers at scale. The facility, completed over the course of a few months, will serve as a manufacturing hub with the capacity to build 10,000 robots in its first year, according to 1X executives. The company said it plans to make 100,000 robots by the end of 2027, as it works to complete construction on a larger manufacturing facility in San Carlos, California. Shipments are expected to begin by the end of this year. In a virtual tour of the facility seen by Bloomberg, the company offered some details about its as-yet unannounced next-generation humanoid, which brings some optical improvements and other upgrades. The startup, which moved its headquarters from Norway to Palo Alto last summer, also said it plans to relocate again — this time to San Carlos — as it has outgrown its current space, said Dar Sleeper, 1X’s vice president of design, product and marketing, in an interview. Robotics companies have drawn billions of dollars in investments in recent years, with many working on humanoids — people-inspired machines that can either walk or roll on wheels. They have so far found a home in some manufacturing facilities, where they complement existing industrial robots that can perform tasks such as assembly and transporting materials. But humanoids for the home and other consumer uses are less common. 1X’s “Neo” humanoid, which is currently available for pre-order at $20,000, has generated buzz on social media for its soft, human-like body, designed to help with domestic tasks like folding laundry and tidying up. It can talk and learn new skills over time. The company hopes it will someday be able to assist with elder care. The startup last raised about $100 million in financing in January 2024 in a Series B round led by EQT Ventures, with a total fundraisin...

Bill Ackman bought shares of his asset management company and alternative asset manager in the open market on Wednesday, supporting the shares in their debut following a $5 billion combined IPO. The hedge fund billionaire bought 500,000 shares of Pershing Square USA Ltd. , the closed-end fund, and 800,000 shares of Pershing Square Inc. , the management firm, he wrote in an X post early Thursday. Pershing Square USA closed at $40.90 per share on Wednesday, 18% below the IPO price, while shares of Pershing Square Inc. ended at $24.20, nearly 1% above their opening price. Based on volume-weighted average prices on Wednesday, Ackman would have spent close to $40 million on the stock purchases. Shares of the management company climbed as much as 16% on Thursday, while Pershing Square USA shares rose as much as 4.6%. The move comes as the listing raised less than the $10 billion Ackman had sought, with the $5 billion haul marking the bare minimum to keep the early investors who signed up to a $2.8 billion private placement locked into the deal. It also fell well short of the lofty $25 billion that Pershing Square sought to bring in about two years ago. Ackman said the closed-end fund is trading at a large discount to its $49 of cash per share, and that shares of the management company were trading below the $26.25 mark at which he sold a 10% stake to strategic investors in 2024. That sale took place when Pershing Square Inc. had roughly half the fee-paying assets under management it has now, he said. Closed-end funds commonly trade at a discount to the underlying value of their assets, though Pershing Square USA was structured with no performance fees and offered investors a free share in the management company, Pershing Square Inc., for every five they bought in the fund in an effort to make it more attractive to US IPO investors. Ackman’s London-listed closed-end fund, Pershing Square Holdings Ltd., which went public in 2014, currently trades at a discount to net assets...
