    The Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Kevin Warsh, is expected to raise interest rates at its upcoming meeting, marking the first increase since 2023. This decision comes amidst persistent inflation, with the consumer price index (CPI) rising 3.4% annually in August and core CPI up 2.4%. Market expectations suggest a 92.5% chance of a 25-basis-point hike. President Trump has publicly advocated for lower interest rates, arguing that the U.S. should have the lowest rates in the world, but the Fed is expected to prioritize its mandate to control inflation.

    BRICS Agrees to Create Common Currency

    The New Development Bank (NDB) of BRICS nations has announced plans to introduce a common digital currency for international payments. This move, which comes amidst fears of a US customs war and sanctions, could challenge the dominance of the US dollar. The decision was made during the BRICS Business Council meeting in Cape Town, South Africa. The new currency, which will be used for transactions between the five member countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), is expected to facilitate trade and reduce dependence on the dollar.
