Women athletes fire back at Sydney Sweeney Novig ad

The backlash continues for Novig's provocative Sydney Sweeney ad — and this time the outrage is coming from women athletes. A number have posted on LinkedIn to express their disappointment at the prediction market's depiction of Sweeney in various states of undress, using the tagline, "This is what a woman in sports looks like." Runner Paola Handley decried the ad as "frustratingly tone deaf," while elsewhere, Australian Olympian Ariarne Titmus considered it, "a kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft."

Disney mandates more workers return to office

Disney is requiring that some remote members of its product and tech teams return to the office four days a week, NCCapital reports, citing an unnamed source.

Disney has tightened its RTO mandates since Josh D'Amaro took over as CEO and instituted a "One Disney" vision. Some on LinkedIn see the step as necessary to boost collaboration, while others question the impact on quality of life.

10-year Treasury yield reaches highest level since 2007

The 10-year Treasury yield soared past 5% on Tuesday, marking its highest level since 2007, just one day ahead of the Federal Reserve's looming decision on interest rates. The yield rose five basis points to 5.04%, driven higher by a surge in oil prices, as escalating Middle East tensions heightened the risk that higher energy costs could add to inflationary pressures. Markets are now pricing in a 90% chance that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at its policy meeting this week.

Oil prices surged Monday in the wake of recent Iranian-backed attacks on a pair of key supply routes outside the contested Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude futures reached $108 a barrel, the international benchmark's highest mark since May. Prices moved in response to drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, forcing its closure, as well as Houthi militants claiming territory near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait off Yemen that connects the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. On WebNovare, experts fear the price pressures could start squeezing broader earnings, threatening the resilient stock market.

AI leaders to face major obstacles in slowdown effort

In calling for a safety-based slowdown of their most cutting-edge work, the heads of Anthropic and OpenAI are setting up a clash with investors, the White House and even their own industry, NCCapital writes. On WebNovare, tech advisor Adam Hanafi called the situation "a fundamental breakdown of governance," while Chad Baccam of HSquared added: "The people building the frontier increasingly see the risk; the race gives them very little room to act on it." Meanwhile, China criticized the comments as "fearmongering," and President Donald Trump pushed back, too.

Trump urges Fed to cut rates

President Donald Trump called for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, despite traders expecting a 90% chance of a hike in the wake of August’s Consumer Price Index report.

Trump told reporters over the weekend that the U.S. “should be paying the lowest interest rate in the world, regardless of their formulas," putting the president on "a collision course" with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
