Economy
In recent news, the S&P 500 has experienced fluctuations, initially dropping 10% in early August due to disruptions in the carry trade by the Bank of Japan. However, an unknown entity’s aggressive stock purchases led to a market recovery within two weeks. This pattern repeated when the S&P 500 faced resistance at 5,650 and dipped below the 50-day moving average, only for the same mystery buyer to intervene again. Market analyst Graham Summers suspects the Federal Reserve or a proxy might be behind these actions, potentially as part of a new quantitative easing program. Summers is preparing a detailed report, “Chapter X,” to explain his reasoning and identify the stocks he believes the Fed is purchasing.

Ryan Wesley Routh was apprehended after allegedly attempting to target Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club. Routh, who had a scoped AK-style rifle, was positioned 300-500 yards from Trump when Secret Service agents intervened. Routh has been linked to financial giant BlackRock, having appeared in one of their commercials. This connection is notable as Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Trump at a Pennsylvania rally two months ago, also appeared in a BlackRock ad. Social media has seen speculation about these connections, with some Trump supporters suggesting a larger conspiracy involving elite interests.
In cybersecurity, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have issued a public service announcement warning against false claims of hacked voter data. Malicious actors are reportedly spreading disinformation to manipulate public opinion and undermine confidence in U.S. democratic institutions. The agencies clarified that publicly accessible voter registration data is often misrepresented as evidence of cyberattacks. They emphasized that there is no evidence of any cyberattack on U.S. election infrastructure that has compromised the integrity of the voting process. The public is advised to rely on official state and local election websites for accurate information and to be cautious of suspicious claims about election security.
Geopolitics
On the international front, tensions between Russia and the West continue to escalate, with concerns about potential nuclear conflict. Western leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have been criticized for underestimating the threat posed by Russia. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has warned of severe consequences if Ukraine’s allies provide long-range missiles, suggesting that the conflict could escalate into an all-out war. Some sources argue that the conflict is driven by historical ethnic tensions and financial interests rather than democracy and freedom, drawing parallels to the breakup of Yugoslavia and the assassination that sparked World War I.
In response to the ongoing conflict, President Vladimir Putin has ordered a third expansion of Russia’s military since the Ukraine war began in February 2022, adding 180,000 soldiers. This will increase Russia’s active servicemen to 1.5 million, making it the second-largest army in the world after China’s. Including reserve forces, Russia’s total military personnel will exceed 2.3 million. This latest increase signals Russia’s intent to maintain the intensity of the conflict in the Donbass and sends a message to NATO amid discussions of Ukraine using long-range missiles against Russia. Nearly 700,000 Russian troops are currently involved in the “special military operation” in Ukraine, with steady gains reported in eastern Ukraine. The expansion may also be a response to Ukraine’s Kursk offensive, although Moscow denies significant troop relocations. A Russian counteroffensive is intensifying, with steady progress in Ukraine’s east.
