How lower US interest rates will help Hongkongers even if local prime rates don′t drop (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong banks may not cut their prime rates this year, but local interbank rates will still follow US rates lower, benefiting a majority of borrowers, according to a senior executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
Analysts widely expect the US Federal Reserve to cut its key rate by three-quarters of a point this year, but Hong Kong commercial banks are unlikely to cut their prime lending rates more than they already have.
“It would be hard for banks to cut their prime rate any......

President Trump To Skip Super Bowl, Slams Halftime Show With Bad Bunny, Green Day
Trump made history last year as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl when he showed up at the game in New Orleans, but on Saturday, he announced he won't be attending this year.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump blasted the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny and Green Day as halftime performers. Trump told the New York Post that the halftime act represents "a terrible choice" that only serves to "sow hatred." He confirmed his absence from the game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, though he insisted the artists are not the reason. "It's just too far away," Trump said, adding that he would attend "if it was a little bit shorter."
The president made his feelings about the performers clear. “I'm anti-them. I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump declared.
Trump blasted the NFL back in October when Bad Bunn...

Cuba Charges US With Imposing 'Marine Siege' For 'Piracy' Of Its Oil Imports
A Cuban diplomat has accused Washington of "international piracy" as the US moves to choke off Venezuelan oil supplies to the island following the Jan.3rd Pentagon operation that led to the ouster and abduction of President Nicolás Maduro.
Carlos de Céspedes, Cuba's ambassador to Colombia, told Al Jazeera on Saturday that the United States has effectively imposed a "marine siege" on Cuba and that this is the most threatening and serious action imposed by Washington in decades.

"Cuba is facing more powerful US threats than it has in the 67 years since the revolution," de Céspedes said, after the island-nation has already endured decades of sanctions.
Washington is openly blocking fuel shipments in the Caribbean, he described. "The US is carrying out international piracy in the Caribbean Sea that is restricting and blocking the arrival of oil to Cuba."

"Do The Right Thing": President Trump Urges "Common Sense" From Democrats
Amid the escalating violence in Minnesota, we calmly ask you to cast your mind back a few years - we know it's hard, but just try...
President Obama gave his ICE chief an award for deporting 409,000 illegals (in 2012).
President Trump's ICE chief has deported 290,000 (in 2025) and he is called a Nazi.
The ICE chief... the same guy - Tom Homan.
The difference is Democrats' rhetoric and the industrial crisis-manufacturing complex.
And that is why President Trump is calling for some "common sense" from officials:
"I am hereby calling on Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the United States of America to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation's Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence:
1. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently i...
