The ribbon-cutting, office unveiling party held by Trading Technologies yesterday was a big success, with a good turnout of industry participants, TT alumni and the 7Ridge team. In for a TT board meeting from 7Ridge were Carsten Kengeter, Veronica Augustsson and Jeff Maron. Keith Todd and Kengeter made comments at the event about the success, deals and growth TT has experienced since 7Ridge bought the company in 2021.
The privilege of cutting the ribbon to officially unveil the new office went to two TT employees, the longest tenured employee and one of the newest. Chris Wichira joined TT in 1999 when its offices were in Evanston. Yvonne Camejo was a temp who decided to join the firm full time in May of this year. Both spoke at the event about their positive experiences with the firm prior to jointly using a giant pair of scissors to cut a ribbon with an arc of balloons above it.
TT Video Producer Vince McAley produced a video for the event telling the story of its evolution over the years that was fun to watch. It included a cut from an interview we did with Keith Todd and Nick Garrow at FIA Boca this last March. All in all, TT has terrific new office space at 1 South Wacker, across the street from the CME's 20 South Wacker headquarters, and it held a TT-worthy ribbon-cutting event.
The Wall Street Journal has an in-depth video interview titled "Can Robinhood Reinvent Investing Again? CEO Vlad Tenev Is Betting on It" with the subheading "Tenev says round-the-clock trading will become an 'industry standard.'"
Today we published the latest episode of Options Discovery and the last that features the work of Alex Teng. In the episode, which is about Intro to Options and Earnings and the firm eToro, Asma Awass introduces the subject before handing off to Alex's interview.
The next episode of Options Discovery is Asma's first standalone complete interview. We broke her in gently by having her interview Britannica Personal Finance Editor and former JLN staffer Doug Ashburn

Fifteen years after Lehman, we still need to fix financial supervision; It must be made easier for regulators to act intelligently and independently
Gillian Tett - Financial TImes
Fifteen years ago, the financial world became obsessed with bank capital ratios. For after Lehman Brothers imploded, there was a race to tighten capital and liquidity standards. And this continues, even today. Right now, for example, the American government is trying to implement a new wave of Basel III rules, sparking a furious backlash from Wall Street figures such as David Solomon, head of Goldman Sachs, who snipes that the measures "have gone too far".

Why oil is back to $90 a barrel; Saudi Arabia and Russia have curtailed supplies in the face of record global demand
Jamie Smyth and Myles McCormick - Financial Times

Uranium prices hit 12-year high as governments warm to nuclear power; Cost of 'yellowcake' jumps to levels not seen since before 2011 Fukushima disaster
Harry Dempsey and Arjun Neil Alim - Financial Times
Uranium prices have surged to their highest level in 12 years, underlining a global renaissance in nuclear power as utilities race to lock in fuel supplies. Prices for the commodity dubbed "yellowcake" have jumped about 12 per cent to $65.50 per pound over the past month, breaching last year's peak to reach heights not seen since 2011, according to data from UxC, a pricing data provider.

Goldman Sachs is preparing to offer wealthy clients more access to a unique investment: the chance to own a piece of a private sports team. The bank is creating a "sports franchise" unit within its investment banking division that will combine sports M&A with sports financing.

| Lead Stories | Boom in 'sustainable' debt fuels scrutiny of green labels; Many deals fund polluters or projects unrelated to climate goals as banks chase trillion-dollar environmental finance targets
Kenza Bryan - Financial Times
Trillion-dollar green finance targets set by leading investment banks are driving a boom in "sustainable" debt deals, many of which have attracted criticism for funding high-emitting companies or financing projects unrelated to environmental goals. Banks are still working out how to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions linked to their activity financing clients in polluting industries. They may be forced to start disclosing these emissions in California from 2027 and earlier in the EU and UK, which would increase pressure to cut ties with polluters.

PFOF and its discontents; Ugh fine, we'll debunk the GameStop conspiracy theory
Alexandra Scaggs - Financial TImes
During the meme-stonk craze of 2021, everyone had one question: Is a working-class revolution happening in the stock market? The answer was self evident: No. Some people made money in a speculative bubble, which was nice for them! Some more people lost money, which was less nice for them, but they memed a hedge fund into oblivion, which was pretty funny. And in the process they started to fancy themselves the new sans-culottes, which was very dumb.

'Dumb Money:' The Movie vs. What Really Happened; The film captures the GameStop meme stock trading frenzy; but who's really the dumb money?
Gunjan Banerji - The Wall Street Journal
The GameStop mania was supposed to be a chance for everyday investors to finally stick it to Wall Street. "Dumb Money," a new movie distributed by Sony Pictures, offers a fictionalized-and entertaining-account of that brief stretch in 2021 when trading meme stocks became a cultural phenomenon, akin to playing Pokemon Go or swapping friendship bracelets with fellow Swifties.

'One of the Most Hated People in the World': Sam Bankman-Fried's 250 Pages of Justifications; The FTX founder wrote hundreds of pages of reflections and self-justifications while under house arrest, shedding light on how he may defend himself at his criminal trial next month.
David Yaffe-Bellany - The New York Times
At the end of a 15,000-word Twitter thread he never posted, Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, offered a blunt assessment of his predicament. "I'm broke and wearing an ankle monitor and one of the most hated people in the world," he wrote. "There will probably never be anything I can do to make my lifetime impact net positive."

Less than a year after retiring, Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, is threatening his former colleagues with the one thing they have worked hard to prevent: his return. Under the terms of his retirement contract, Mr. Dalio, who left the firm full time in October, has the option to retake control of Bridgewater if its financial performance flags, according to five people with knowledge of the agreement.

They applauded the casting of "Parks & Recreation" star Nick Offerman to play Griffin as "inspired."

China Urges Brokers To Cut FX Trading In Support For Weak Yuan
Bloomberg News
China told some brokerage firms to reduce proprietary trading in the foreign-exchange market, according to people with knowledge of the matter, marking another step by the authorities to defend the beleaguered currency. The People's Bank of China asked several brokers earlier this week to reduce currency proprietary desk trading, without giving specific guidance on the limit of trading volume, the people said, declining to be named discussing private matters. Some of these firms have almost halted their own trading since then, the people said.

Happy Lehman Day to All Who Celebrate... Anyone? The echoes are still with us 15 years later, rippling now through Europe and China. If there's something of an exception, it's the US.
John Authers - Bloomberg
Happy Lehman Day Everyone!
Like many who work in finance, my life has come to have a fixed calendar: pre- and post-Lehman. When news broke 15 years ago today that Lehman Brothers had indeed gone bankrupt, with no willing buyer and no rescue from the government, things changed. We all knew that they would. The crisis had been brewing for at least 18 months at that point, and would not reach its nadir for another six months, but it was the collapse of Lehman that changed what was possible.

The financial replication crisis revisited; Academic aggro
Robin Wigglesworth - Financial Times
Is there a replication crisis in finance? Some prominent academics say yes, obvs, and it's endemic. However, a high-powered, recently peer-reviewed paper argues this is bunkum. Perhaps the whole "replication crisis" thing needs explaining first though, for those lucky enough not to spend their time reading academic papers and following the weirdly intense debates around them.

Peter Chawag - The Street
Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, shared some 250 pages of unpublished justifications, reflections and other ramblings while under house arrest awaiting trial for his role in mismanaging at least $1 billion of customer funds. Within the 15,000-word document, which was formatted like a Twitter thread, Bankman-Fried attempted to lay blame for the loss of customer funds on his former girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, who was the CEO of FTX's trading partner Alameda Research at the time that the alleged fraud occurred.

It demonstrated how Tim Gurner, who runs a luxury real estate firm, diagnosed the strong post-pandemic labor market and the work-from-home status quo with which it coincided: "People decided that they didn't really want to work so much anymore through COVID, and that has had a massive issue on productivity," Gurner said.

A Ukrainian missile strike on a shipyard in occupied Crimea has severely damaged and possibly destroyed a Russian amphibious landing ship and a Kilo-class submarine, satellite footage shows. If confirmed, the direct hit to the vessels in Sevastopol on Wednesday would mark one of the most devastating strikes against the Russian navy in the war, and the largest since the sinking of the Moskva guided missile cruiser in 2022.

China May Get Caught in an Oil-Price Crossfire; Russia and Saudi Arabia's oil output cuts will only accelerate the energy transition in a key market.
David Fickling - Bloomberg Opinion
In the new Cold War building between authoritarian states and democracies, petroleum appears to be the most potent weapon. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman last week celebrated their recent output cuts, which have pushed up crude by 23% since the end of June. Costlier oil means more money for Moscow's war machine and Riyadh's construction boom, but higher gas prices for US consumers.

Owen Fernau - The Defiant
Last Thursday, an enforcement action by the U.S. Commodities Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) against three DeFi protocols was the latest event in an ongoing saga of legislative battles, rulings by district courts, and scuffles over rulemaking. As the CFTC has now ordered Opyn, 0x and Deridex to cease operations that violate the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations, some of crypto's prominent advocates are again questioning whether the regulatory landscape is conducive for entrepreneurs looking to operate in the space.

Antoine Gara and Eric Platt - Financial Times
Private equity firms have started to borrow against their funds to backstop overly indebted portfolio companies, a new financial engineering tactic meant to cope with higher interest rates and a slowdown in dealmaking. The manoeuvres, which lenders have dubbed "defending the portfolio", have cropped up as many older private equity funds run low on cash just as the companies they own struggle with their own debt loads.

Kate Duffy - Bloomberg
Airports around the world are relocating sensitive electrical equipment to rooftops to protect it from flooding, reinforcing runways to handle extreme temperature swings and revving up air conditioning as climate change complicates operations. In New York, the $19 billion redevelopment of John F. Kennedy International Airport includes preparing for more extreme weather events such as storm surges and coastal floodings.

Simone Preissler Iglesias and Siobhan Wagner - Bloomberg
Brazil Environment Minister Marina Silva knows her country is an agricultural powerhouse, but she worries about the risks the influential sector's growth poses to the Amazon rainforest. Farming has traditionally served as a key driver of deforestation in Brazil, due to activities like clearing forest for cattle pasture to feed the nation's massive beef industry. It's estimated that around 20% of Amazon forest cover has vanished in the last 50 years because of deforestation and landscape degradation.

Russia will again raise an oil-export levy the country's producers pay, bringing more money into its coffers as surging prices compensate for smaller shipments. The government will increase the duty to $23.90 per ton in October, the highest level this year, following a rally in the price of Russia's key export blend Urals, the Finance Ministry said Friday.
