jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images A weaker USD increasingly seems to be a direct objective of US economic policy, rather than a byproduct of it. President Trump recently said he is not worried about the USD weakening and, on the contrary, he thinks the value of the dollar is "great." As a Swiss-based investor, I am painfully aware of the decline in value of the USD ( USD:CHF ). My portfolio has declined by almost 5% Year-To-Date in Swiss Francs. This is despite my performance in USD being positive. DXY vs. TSLA vs. VOO (Seeking Alpha) Today, I want to cover the reasons why a weaker dollar may be an objective of this administration, as well as why this may benefit Tesla, Inc ( TSLA ), which I see as the only Tech manufacturing company in the West. Why a weaker dollar is an accelerator for US manufacturing and exports A weaker U.S. dollar should theoretically benefit the current U.S. administration in the following ways: It should increase U.S. exports and lower the U.S. trade deficit , as a direct result of American goods becoming cheaper and therefore more attractive on global markets. It should increase the attractiveness of America as a manufacturing destination , again a result of USD CapEx being more affordable for companies with a global footprint. It should also create higher nominal GDP growth and push the nominal price of USD assets higher, as a mechanical effect of net exports (a part of GDP) increasing and improving companies’ earnings. Of course, not all is good. A weaker U.S. dollar could also represent a headwind for inflation, as imports get more expensive for Americans. This in turn may threaten the current (somewhat) dovish direction of the Federal Reserve. The Fed sets interest rates based on maximum employment and inflation. A weak U.S. dollar could simultaneously increase employment (via manufacturing jobs and investments in America) as well as create inflation (both as a result of more people employed and imports being more expensive...

In this article SBUX Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Starbucks Coffee customer using mobile app to pay in Atlanta, Georgia. Jeff Greenberg | Universal Images Group | Getty Images Starbucks is reintroducing tiers to its North American loyalty program in a bid to encourage coffee drinkers to visit more frequently as part of its broader turnaround strategy. The company made the announcement on Thursday at its investor day . Executives across the business are sharing more details on the company's plans to drive future sales growth and profitability, including through its all-important loyalty program. Starbucks Rewards has existed since 2009. The company, long seen as a leader in restaurant technology, relies on its loyalty program to encourage members to visit more frequently and spend more money. In fiscal 2025, the transactions linked to the Rewards program accounted for 60% of the company's revenue. But the coffee chain also has to balance offering members enticing rewards with maintaining profit margins. In 2019, the company eliminated the two-tiered system, saying that the change was meant to encourage new members to become more engaged. The company now feels that system does not appropriately reward its most loyal customers. "Our very best customers are coming 200 times a year, and we were treating them the same as someone who comes once a year," Starbucks Chief Brand Officer Tressie Lieberman, who joined the company in November 2024, told CNBC's Kate Rogers . "So we've introduced tiers." The tiered program will return on March 10, this time with three levels. How Starbucks loyalty tiers will work Starbucks Rewards members with fewer than 500 "stars" — or points — will belong to the green tier. They can enjoy a free drink or food item on their birthday, receive early access to select menu items and get personalized offers. Green-tier members' stars won't expire for six months, and they can keep them from expiring in several ways, like redeeming a ...

pryzmat Last week Goldman Sachs boosted its 2026 target on gold to $5,400/oz. and this morning the yellow metal has topped $5,500. Gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) and silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ) are rallying faster than sell-siders can chase. Looking to the major ETFs — SPDR Gold Shares ETF ( GLD ) and iShares Silver Trust ETF ( SLV ) — both are at unprecedented overbought levels. The 14-day relative strength indexes for GLD and SLV are around 95, heights not seen since their inception. An RSI above 70 is considered in overbought territory. Seeking Alpha Wall Street doesn't provide ratings for these ETFs, but Seeking Alpha analysts and the SA Quant Rating system have coverage. For GLD, Quant Rating moved to Strong Buy from Buy just today but has been either Buy or Strong Buy for the past year. SA analysts also have an overall Buy (1 Strong Buy, 5 Buys, 5 Holds). Multiplo Invest recently reiterated a Buy, saying that gold "versus a portfolio composed of 50% US Treasuries and 50% of the S&P 500 would still have a lot of room to rise. Gold is currently at $5288, and if it returned to its 1980 peak, it would be above $35,000." Vladimir Dimitrov still says Hold, warning the "price of gold is not linked to any fundamentals, and this could easily result in significant volatility during times when market participants move either in or out of their gold positions." For SLV, Quant Rating has had a Strong Buy since November , with momentum and liquidity grades outshining the low grade for risk. But SA analysts have been more cautious, moving to Hold in mid-December (1 Strong Buy, 7 Buys, 4 Holds, 3 Sells and 2 Strong Sells). Envision Research, with a Hold, reminds investors how the Hunt Brothers lost billions in 1980 after a 700% rise in silver. James Foord, who has a Sell, says silver could hit $200/oz., but short term he expects a significant pullback as technical indicators show bearish divergences and extreme RSI readings."

The boss of Lloyds Banking Group has warned that bankers will need to “re-skill themselves” to survive the oncoming AI boom that stands to transform the financial services sector. Charlie Nunn told reporters on Thursday that while he could not predict the full impact that AI would have over the next decade, it was clear that banks would be hiring staff with very different skill sets going forward. “This is going to radically change how customers experience financial services,” he said, meaning banks like Lloyds would “have to support colleagues to re-skill themselves”. He acknowledged that the bank would have to “reduce some jobs in some areas”, but played down forecasts by Morgan Stanley, which last month said more than 200,000 European bank jobs could be axed by 2030 due to AI adoption and branch closures. “The reality is we don’t quite know how to play out in the medium term, and I think that’s where you see the larger numbers being forecast,” Nunn said. “It’s not that we’re trying to hide anything. But at this stage that’s not what we’re seeing specifically around generative AI – although I do think it will be transformational.” It came as Lloyds provided a rare insight into the financial impact of its AI use, saying generative AI – which creates new content based on patterns in vast, existing datasets – provided a £50m boost to its balance sheet last year. That involved using AI to process complaints, which were now categorised in one second rather than five minutes, and halve the amount of time spent on coding. “AI is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, and one the group is grasping for our customers,” Nunn said.

Photograph: Oli Scarff/PA The bank expects the financial benefit to double in 2026 to more than £100m, as Lloyds embraces agentic AI: a more autonomous model that can proactively plan and execute tasks with minimal human oversight.
