Treasury Bars Scammy ESG Funds From Trump Accounts, Citing Left-Wing 'Political Activism' Concerns
The Treasury Department is moving forward with rules that would exclude investment funds built around scammy, globalist environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria from Trump Accounts.

"Corporate America has rejected ESG ideology, and we will not allow it to be a part of Trump Accounts," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the outlet in a statement.

US Treasury Classifies Hezbollah As Arm Of The IRGC, Not A 'Stand-Alone' Group
The new US Treasury sanctions on Hezbollah unveiled Thursday do more than ever before in 'legally' classifying the Lebanese militant group as essentially an arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The Treasury action - which is certainly not the first designation against the group - underscored that it operated in "service to the Iranian regime under the command of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps."
A State Department official characterized the re-designation as specifying that Hezbollah is an "Iranian proxy, not a stand-alone operation as implied by the previous designation."
"This action builds on years of US designations that have repeatedly documented the operational, financial, and logistical integration between Hizballah and the IRGC-QF," the official also stated, calling Hezbollah "an extension" of the IRGC's Quds Force.

Wochenausblick: KW 35 (Helaba)
|
|
|
Das angekündigte Ankaufprogramm des US-Finanzministers, das im Grunde auf einen Tausch langer gegen kurze Laufzeiten hinausläuft, wird kaum helfen. Die eigentliche Ursache der zu hohen Staatsausgaben wird nicht angegangen. Dazu passt die Meldung, dass die Staatsschulden der USA erstmals die Marke von 40 Billionen Dollar erreicht haben. Vor diesem Hintergrund erhöhen wir unsere Renditeprognosen für Bunds und US-Treasuries insgesamt um rund einen Viertelprozentpunkt.. --- Inzwischen erwarten die Anleger eindeutig eine zweite Zinsanhebung der EZB. Diese Erwartungshaltung dürfte auch im EZB-Rat eine gewisse Rolle spielen. Die selbst verschuldete schwierige Lage der Fed dürfte als abschreckendes Beispiel dienen. Gleichzeitig haben die jüngsten Wachstumszahlen aus dem Euroraum eine gewisse Robustheit der Konjunktur gezeigt.. --- Aktien: Zyklischer Rückenwind. Wir bekräftigen vor diesem Hintergrund unsere Halten-Empfehlung für Aktien.. --- Öl: Verunsicherung am Persischen Golf hält an – Ölpreis bleibt länger hoch..
