Odaily News, ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated that while the recent U.S. employment report appears concerning on the surface, deeper economic trends are shifting. Productivity gains, the expanding application of AI, and potential deflationary pressures could become the main market themes moving forward.Wood noted that the U.S. federal deficit as a percentage of GDP is currently around 5.6%, approaching levels seen during the Reagan era in the 1980s. She believes that if productivity and technology adoption continue to accelerate as ARK anticipates, that ratio could fall to about 5% by year-end, although most economic forecasters view this target as difficult to achieve.On inflation, Wood believes the market is underestimating deflationary risks. She noted that recent inflation data has consistently come in below expectations, with the June CPI falling 0.4% month-over-month, PPI down 0.3% month-over-month, and core PCE rising just 0.1% month-over-month. She argues that companies that fail to adopt AI and productivity tools may face greater pricing pressure and competitive risks in the future.Wood is also bullish on the U.S. dollar. ARK's data model based on Kalshi prediction markets suggests the dollar index could rise to 102.6 this year. She pushed back against the view that "overseas capital is selling off U.S. assets," pointing out that Japan's recent currency market intervention primarily involved selling euros and buying yen, rather than selling dollars.In energy markets, Wood believes a global crude oil supply glut is taking shape. She noted that the UAE's production has risen to historic highs after leaving OPEC, and further downside in oil prices could act as a deflationary driver for the global economy.Regarding the AI investment boom, Wood said concerns about an AI bubble are overblown, and the current growth in capital expenditure likely represents the early stage of a long-term technological revolution rather than a short-term speculative cycle.In the crypto asset space, Wood said Bitcoin's performance relative to gold is stabilizing, and believes that as the "agentic commerce" economy develops, Bitcoin and stablecoins could become the biggest beneficiaries.
Odaily News – Hong Kong police conducted a two-phase citywide operation from August 7 to 8, raiding multiple locations, dismantling a mule account coordination and fund processing center, and seizing a large number of bank cards, cash, electronic devices, and other evidence. A total of 147 people were arrested, bringing down a criminal network that used a large number of "mule accounts" to transfer funds, involving an amount close to HK$600 million. Police investigations revealed that the syndicate recruited individuals to provide bank accounts and used multiple accounts to split funds, conduct frequent transfers, and move money through multiple layers in an attempt to conceal the source of funds. Some account holders, after receiving payments ranging from hundreds to thousands of Hong Kong dollars, handed over their online banking login credentials to others for control.Police noted that the masterminds behind the scheme adopted a "segmented" management model, relaying instructions through close associates to avoid direct contact with the funds, and arranged for processed funds to be transferred into accounts of affiliated individuals to further obscure the flow of money. The operation led to the arrest of 147 individuals and the seizure of approximately HK$3.65 million in cash, along with luxury watches, gold ornaments, vehicles, and other valuables totaling around HK$5 million. Police stated that they have successfully disrupted the related fund chains and will continue to trace the masterminds and the flow of funds.The police remind the public not to sell, rent, or lend out personal bank accounts, as they could be exploited by criminals for illicit fund transfers, and account holders may bear corresponding legal liability.

Odaily News: South Africa's National Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) have released draft rules on cross-border transfers of crypto assets. Farzam Ehsani, co-founder and CEO of crypto exchange VALR, stated that without significant amendments to key provisions, the framework could harm the country's digital asset industry and drive capital offshore. The draft rules allow individual residents to transfer crypto assets abroad within existing foreign exchange limits but restrict corporates from conducting cross-border crypto transactions, while also classifying certain inbound transfers from private, non-custodial self-hosted wallets as unacceptable transfers for local crypto asset service providers (CASPs). Ehsani believes this could push both businesses and retail users toward overseas platforms. Ehsani noted that prohibiting regulated entities from handling legitimate corporate transactions—particularly cross-border stablecoin payments—could drive such activity underground or offshore, ultimately undermining the transaction visibility and monitoring capabilities regulators aim to achieve. South Africa's National Treasury and SARB have opened a public consultation period, with feedback due by September 30.
