阿根廷终于按下了恐慌按钮。经过多年努力避免货币贬值，这将增加飙升的通货膨胀并降低其在选民中的受欢迎程度，政府周一承认在这场斗争中让步了。此举是总统 Alberto Fernandez 承认，在周日的关键初选中遭受惨败（stinging defeat）后，他的政府已经没有选择和资金来捍卫不可持续的汇率。18%的贬值使官方比索（peso）汇率达到每美元350（周五为287），并伴随着央行关键利率的再次大幅上调。它被提高了21个百分点，达到118%。—— Natasha Solo-Lyons

Argentina finally hit the panic button. After years of trying to avoid a currency devaluation that would add to soaring inflation and reduce its popularity with voters, the government conceded defeat in that fight on Monday. The move was an admission by President Alberto Fernandez that his administration had run out of options—and money—to defend an unsustainable exchange rate after suffering a stinging defeat in a crucial primary election on Sunday. The 18% devaluation takes the official peso rate to 350 per US dollar (compared to 287 on Friday) and comes with another huge hike in the central bank’s key interest rate. It was raised 21 percentage points to 118%. —Natasha Solo-Lyons

Russia’s central bank called an extraordinary meeting Tuesday after the ruble crashed through the level of 100 to the dollar for the first time since March of 2022, shortly after Vladimir Putin launched his war on Ukraine.

US regulators will soon propose requiring banks with as little as $100 billion in assets to issue enough long-term debt to cover capital losses if they ever fail. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve are working on the plan as part of Washington’s response to this year’s failures of midsize lenders.

Goldman Sachs economists anticipate the Fed will start lowering interest rates by the end of next June, with a gradual, quarterly pace of reductions from that point. “The cuts in our forecast are driven by this desire to normalize the funds rate from a restrictive level once inflation is closer to target,” they wrote in a note.

Singapore needs to figure out how to better deploy its sizable reserves and leverage its wealthy status by investing more in the region, according to Piyush Gupta, chief executive of the city-state’s largest bank. “We’ve still not caught up around the fact that we are a rich country,” the head of DBS Group Holdings said Monday. “We have capital resources, how do we put it to work to create competitive advantage?”

How Rich You Are Depends on Where You Are

They’re lawyers in New York, doctors in Phoenix and dentists in Memphis. They’re young, old, Democratic and Republican. And they all have two things in common: they’re rich but they don’t feel they’re rich. In a nationwide survey of more than 1,000 Americans making at least $175,000 a year—roughly the top 10% of US tax filers—a full quarter said they were either “very poor,” “poor” or “getting by but things are tight.” Half described themselves as just “comfortable.” Many have considered moving to a different part of the country for lower taxes and a cheaper cost of living. But how much of a difference would moving actually make? Try our comparison tool, which we’ve made free to all readers, and find out how much richer you would (or wouldn’t) feel somewhere else.
