Iran may block passage through Red SeaIran threatened to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea if the United States lands ground forces on the Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf or "anywhere else" in Iran, while also warning to open "other fronts as a surprise," a military source told the semi-official Tasnim News Agency on Wednesday."The Bab el-Mandeb Strait is considered one of the world’s strategic straits, and Iran has both the will and the capability to generate a fully credible threat against it. Therefore, if the Americans want to take foolish measures regarding the Strait of Hormuz, they should be careful not to add another strait to their list of problems," the source stated, again emphasizing the Middle Eastern country was "prepared for escalation."His comments come amid reports of the US moving ground troops to the region and rumors of their possible deployment on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf or the Iranian mainland. On the other hand, US President Donald Trump claimed Iran was negotiating, which Tehran had denied.
Exclusive: U.S. needs "whole new workforce" for AI, Meta president saysDina Powell McCormick at Axios' AI+DC Summit.The U.S. will need a "whole new workforce" within the next two years to be competitive in the AI race, Meta President Dina Powell McCormick said Wednesday at Axios' AI+DC Summit.Why it matters: She says half a million electricians will be necessary to build the vast infrastructure needed in the U.S. alone.Driving the news: "We talk about it as the workforce of America because if you're competing on behalf of America, these are the real heroes that are building the very infrastructure that will help us win," McCormick told Axios' Mike Allen.The recent elevation of McCormick, a prominent banking executive, reflects Meta's focus on new tech and dealmaking.Catch up quick: McCormick, a former Republican official, was tapped to join Meta full-time as president and vice chairman in January.Her global finance connections make her a central piece of Meta's dealmaking in the AI era with key industries, like tech infrastructure and energy, Axios' Sara Fischer reports.CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of "Meta Compute" in January, an initiative to build AI infrastructure and oversee its data center fleet.He said McCormick would work alongside that project with a particular focus on partnering with governments and sovereigns to support Meta's infrastructure.
Me duelen los ojos leyendo a la tal María Alvarez, ¿los pisitos "el capital de un país"? ¿comprando un pisito formas parte del 'accionariado' de un país? Qué barbaridad...Y lo de limitar los bares -que yo sepa no están limitados aunque necesiten sus licencias- ; las farmacias -sí- y lo de los taxis... en países más 'normales' no están limitados. Lo de España convirtiendo las licencias de taxi en activos financieros y permitir que sean transmisibles entre particulares es una verdadera estafa y una anormalidad. Y mejor no hablar de los uber/cabify con cuyas licencias, conseguidas en los juzgados, se ha capitalizado una empresa a base de vendérselas a más de 100mil euros al que necesita trabajar. Endeudarse para poder trabajar de taxista.... lo que hay que ver. En Reino Unido por ejemplo eso no existe y nadie tiene que pagar para hacerse conductor de Uber. Dejando el offtopic, ¡la vivienda no es 'accionariado' de nada! Es un bien básico y es un bien de uso duradero, nada más. A ver si al final va a haber que ser 'accionista del país' también para comprar comida... La vivienda como 'hactibo' es incompatible con la vida. ¿Qué clase de 'acceso' al 'hactibo' pretende la tal María Alvarez? ¿Bajar un poco el precio pero mantener la sobrevaloración? ¿Plantear que endeudarse hasta las orejas sea un derecho fundamental del ciudadano?En este mundo, después de tantas décadas de mercado disfuncional de la vivienda, vamos a necesitar montañas de psiquiatras, juristas, economistas, filósofos y hasta exorcistas solo para que vuelva la normalidad.
Digital euro project clears key hurdle ahead of European parliament voteMEP in charge of assessing the project is due to circulate a report fully backing an electronic version of the single currencyThe launch of an electronic version of the euro would reduce reliance on foreign digital payment providers © Maxkabakov/DreamstimeThe European parliament’s lead lawmaker assessing the digital euro has changed position and now fully backs the project, boosting its chances of approval in a crunch vote expected before August.The European Central Bank and European Commission have been promoting the launch of an electronic version of the single currency by 2029 to reduce reliance on foreign digital payment providers such as Apple Pay, Mastercard and Visa, and strengthen Europe’s monetary sovereignty.EU leaders this month sought to inject urgency into the project when they called for an agreement by the end of this year on the legislation underpinning the initiative.But Fernando Navarrete, the lead MEP responsible for shaping the parliament’s position on the subject, had long argued that lawmakers should back only a scaled-down version of the project.He had proposed that digital euros should only be used instead of cash for payments when there is no internet or mobile connection, but not immediately for real-time payments online and in stores as it could stifle initiatives by European banks.Banks including BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank launched a European alternative to Apple Pay called Wero in 2024.However, following a meeting of MEPs on Wednesday, Navarrete is working on a new draft report that removes his proposal that an online version of the digital euro should only be launched if European private sector alternatives fail, his office said. The draft report is due to be circulated in the coming days.Piero Cipollone: ‘Today people do not have the freedom to use their money for about one-third of the transactions’ © Lina Selg/BloombergThe shift comes after a majority of MEPs on the centre-left — composed of social democrats, Greens, liberals and the Left — voted against Navarrete’s proposal at the meeting on Wednesday. They instead backed the Commission’s position, which does not distinguish between the online and offline versions of a digital euro.“I welcome the constructive spirit now emerging across political groups to find a consensus and move . . . forward,” said Navarrete in a comment to the FT, adding that the digital euro had to be built on standards that would allow it to exist alongside private sector solutions.“The digital euro will only become a genuinely useful instrument for citizens and for the European economy if it is built in close co-operation with the private sector. Only then can it deliver real added value,” he added.Navarrete’s shift in position increases the chances of a majority of parliamentarians backing the project during a vote scheduled before the summer recess, although it is still opposed by conservative and far-right parties.If it does pass, the parliament would still have to negotiate the rules underpinning the project with EU member states before it can be signed into law.The ECB intends to start a pilot project in 2027 ahead of full issuance in 2029.Piero Cipollone, the member of the ECB’s executive board in charge of the digital euro, told parliamentarians this week: “Today people do not have the freedom to use their money for about one-third of the transactions. If you want to use cash to pay for your expenses online, good luck, you cannot . . . the digital euro will bring back this freedom to the people.”The European Central Bank declined to comment.

Este es un gráfico muy interesante de Gold vs The Stock Market (XAU/USD / SPX) en escala logarítmica desde 1919 hasta proyecciones hacia 2038. Déjame desglosar lo que muestra y qué implica para ti.¿Qué mide? El ratio oro/bolsa (XAU/SPX). Cuando sube, el oro supera a las acciones. Cuando baja, la bolsa gana. Es un termómetro de qué activo es rey en cada época.Lo que el gráfico predice:Ahora mismo estamos en un punto de inflexión histórico. El indicador estocástico personalizado de 7 años (panel inferior) está "justo entrando" en la zona de poder (banda verde), igual que ocurrió en 1932, 1970 y 2001 — tres momentos que precedieron rallies brutales en metales preciosos.La "Super Capital Rotation Event Line" (línea roja diagonal) marca el nivel que el ratio gold/SPX no ha podido superar desde los máximos de 1980. Si lo rompe al alza, el análisis apunta a un END GAME hacia 2035 con proyecciones muy alcistas para el oro.El "breakout line" actual sugiere que ya se está formando una ruptura. El precio tendría un primer PAUSE en 2029, seguido de un movimiento más potente hasta ~2035.

Iran 'responsive' to any Spanish request on HormuzIran said it will be "responsive" to any request from Spain regarding the Strait of Hormuz, as Madrid showed its commitment to international law, the Iranian Embassy in Madrid said in a post on X on Thursday.Earlier this week, Iranian media reported that authorities granted Spanish vessels a safe passage through the maritime route.Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has repeatedly criticized the United States and Israel's war against Iran, labeling it as "illegal," warning that the Iran war will have much "worse" global consequences than the war in Iraq in 2003.
