A US hedge fund has raised $100mn to make trades based on articles by its affiliated newsroom, launching a novel experiment in funding investigative reporting as the media industry suffers a fresh round of lay-offs.

US borrowing binge risks market strains, analysts warn

The US will be forced to fund a massive increase in its budget deficit with short-term debt, analysts have said, with consequences for money markets and the battle against inflation. The Congressional Budget Office, the independent fiscal watchdog, this week said aid packages for Ukraine and Israel would help push up the US deficit this fiscal year to $1.9tn — compared with its February prediction of $1.5tn. “We are spending money as a country like a drunken sailor on shore for the weekend,” s…

Federal Reserve officials thought that US inflation was cooling but still needed “greater confidence” before they agreed to cut interest rates from their 23-year high, according to minutes of their most recent meeting. “Participants suggested that a number of developments in the product and labour market supported their judgment that price pressures were diminishing,” said the minutes from the June meeting, published on Wednesday. Some rate-setters also noted that retailers were now offering p…
