Pop Culture Flashback Predator: Badlands | Final Trailer youtube.com/watch?v=cDL3Zj… Predator: Badlands | Teaser Trailer youtube.com/watch?v=oFkbsE… The director of Prey welcomes you to a world of hurt. Experience Predator: Badlands on the big screen, in theaters and IMAX November 7. “Predator: Badlands,” which stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and produced by John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt, Brent O’Connor. (Credit: 20th Century Studios) News Predator: Badlands (via Grok) Predator: Badlands is an upcoming American science fiction action film, set to release theatrically on November 7, 2025, by 20th Century Studios. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who previously helmed Prey (2022), and co-written with Patrick Aison, it’s the seventh film in the mainline Predator series and ninth overall in the franchise. The movie stars Elle Fanning as Thia, a Weyland-Yutani android, and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek, a young Predator outcast. Set in the future on a remote alien planet, likely the Predators’ homeworld, the story follows Dek, who allies with Thia to hunt “the ultimate adversary”—a massive, unkillable creature. Unlike previous Predator films, this one makes the Predator the protagonist, exploring Yautja culture, language (developed by the Avatar linguist), and emotional depth. The film introduces new technology, like a heated sword and speeder bike, and features a creature suit for Dek’s body with digitally enhanced facial expressions. It’s a standalone story, not a Prey sequel, drawing from the franchise’s expanded universe, including Dark Horse Comics. Filming took place in New Zealand from August to October 2024 under the codename Backpack. The plot may involve dual storylines, including a bond between two sisters, though the focus is on Dek’s journey. The trailer, debuted at CinemaCon 2025, hints at ties to the Alien universe via Weyland-Yutani and shows predators fighting new monstrous foes. Fans on X praise its bold direction, expecting rich lore expansion. A second, secret Predator film by Trachtenberg, possibly animated, is also slated for 2025, likely streaming on Hulu before Badlands. (Grok) Media Man: This version of Predator is going to make an absolute killing at the cinema. The legend lives on!

News Flashback UFC Perth: Betting Odds (For reference, data and educational purposes) Notable trends: Betting odds suggest potential for multiple early finishes across the card (heavyweight bouts and Salkilld fight especially). Always compare lines across sportsbooks (e.g., DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM) for best value, and consider props like method of victory or rounds. Welterweight Main Event: Jack Della Maddalena vs. Carlos Prates Della Maddalena (-105 to -110) vs. Prates (-105 to -120) Near pick'em. Prates is a heavy striker on a KO streak; JDM is the durable former champ with home advantage. Many expect fireworks (Under 2.5 rounds favored in some spots). Lightweight: Beneil Dariush vs. Quillan Salkilld Dariush (+300 to +370) vs. Salkilld (-400 to -485) Salkilld (young, undefeated in recent fights) is a big favorite. High chance of early finish. Flyweight: Tim Elliott vs. Steve Erceg Elliott (+145 to +225 / moved heavily due to sharp bets) vs. Erceg (-170 to -250) Significant line movement toward Elliott (+155 favorite in some reports) after big money came in. Erceg remains favorite for many, but volatility here. Heavyweight: Shamil Gaziev vs. Brando Pericic Gaziev (+110) vs. Pericic (-140) Striking-heavy matchup; early finish expected. Heavyweight: Tai Tuivasa vs. Louie Sutherland Tuivasa (-175 to -184) vs. Sutherland (+142) Tuivasa on a long losing streak but favored against a fellow striker. Prelims (selected) Cam Rowston vs. Robert Bryczek Junior Tafa vs. Kevin Christian Jacob Malkoun vs. Gerald Meerschaert (Malkoun heavy favorite ~ -1000) Colby Thicknesse vs. Vince Morales X Newsfeed Ciryl Gane's Sharp Sparring Session Builds Hype for Pereira Clash The video from MMA Factory Paris shows Gane's elite footwork and striking defense against undefeated Cuban pro Perez, who holds a 16-0 record with 14 KOs.

News Watercooler with Media and A.I Jones On Usman and Lesnar UFC legend Jon Jones took issue with former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman siding with Brock Lesnar in a potential wrestling match. Former two-division UFC champion Jon Jones remains at odds with Dana White and the matchmakers after he was excluded from a spot on the upcoming White House card. Despite announcing his retirement from MMA last summer, Jones quickly reversed course when U.S. President Donald Trump announced the UFC’s upcoming card on the White House lawn. Jones was briefly linked to a potential showdown against either Alex Pereira or Tom Aspinall, but according to Jones, he was ‘lowballed’ financially by the UFC. He hasn’t fought since finishing Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, in what would end up being his first and only heavyweight title defense. After asking for his UFC release and hinting at another MMA retirement, Jones could potentially return in another combat sport. Jones has briefly teased a potential wrestling match with two-time UFC rival Daniel Cormier in Real American Freestyle. Jon Jones issues guarantee to Kamaru Usman after Usman picks Brock Lesnar Amidst talks of Jones competing in wrestling, former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman was asked for his prediction in a hypothetical matchup between former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and Jones. Usman sided with Lesnar’s girth and overall strength to get the better of Jones on the mats. In a recent Instagram story post, Jones responded to Usman’s prediction. (BJ Penn with A.I) News Flashback X Newsfeed Barbosa Wins Controversial Flyweight Bout After Illegal Soccer Kick At UFC Vegas 115 in Las Vegas, Barbosa earned a majority decision over Gatto in a women's flyweight prelim marked by the illegal Round 2 kick, ruled legal enough to proceed despite Gatto briefly appearing out cold. Fighters like Jeff Molina called it dangerous, warning 'this is how people die,' while others accused Gatto of faking to gain the deduction. Barbosa's striking volume secured the 29-27, 29-27, 28-28 scores, boosting her UFC record to 3-1 as debates over safety and rules lingered. News Flashback Joshua Van Injury Delays UFC Title Defense Against Taira The bout against undefeated grappler Tatsuro Taira shifts to headline the co-main event at UFC 328 on May 9 in Newark, New Jersey, preserving the highly anticipated clash on a card topped by Khamzat Chimaev versus Sean Strickland. Van won the belt dramatically at UFC 323 last December with a head kick that broke Alexandre Pantoja's arm just 26 seconds in, making him the youngest 2000s-born UFC titleholder and first Asian-born male champion. Fans reacted strongly, with some calling to strip the title amid Pantoja's recent weight cut video showing his readiness, though Van keeps the belt and the matchup stays intact. News Thomas Petersen Grinds Out Majority Decision Over Unbeaten Guilherme Pat at UFC Vegas 115 In a non-stop heavyweight prelim at UFC Vegas 115 in Las Vegas, Petersen outlasted Pat with relentless pressure and ground control to win a majority decision, 29-28 twice and 28-28 once. Pat started strong with power kicks and takedown defenses to take Round 1, but Petersen dominated Round 3 along the fence. The Minnesotan wrestler and diesel mechanic improved to 11-4, grabbed the mic post-fight to say he wants to see how far he can go, and now eyes bigger tests in the stacked division. News Flashback Yakhyaev Stays Undefeated with Quick Chokeout at UFC Vegas 115 The 25-year-old Turkish light heavyweight prospect survived Brendson Ribeiro's striking barrage before securing a rear-naked choke at 2:52 of Round 1 to open UFC Vegas 115 at the Apex in Las Vegas. It marked his second fast UFC finish, following a 33-second submission debut, keeping his record perfect at 9-0 with seven first-round stoppages. Fans praised his grip strength and grappling mastery, while noting room to improve his striking defense in the thin division. Media Man: Solid card for a UFC Fight Night at The Meta Apex.

Passes Warner Bros. turned down Miller's pitch for a new Mad Max movie and potential TV spinoff, citing the recent box-office shortfall of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which earned $174 million worldwide against a $168 million budget despite strong reviews. Now, Amazon MGM Studios, Universal Pictures, and Sony Pictures are interested in picking up the rights, possibly for a prequel called Mad Max: The Wasteland centered on Max Rockatansky's early wanderings. Fans are buzzing with excitement, pleading for one more high-octane adventure from the director who redefined action with Fury Road's practical stunts and Oscar wins. (Mefia Man Peg-On): The legend of Mad Max and Dr George Miller will live on forever! News Papa Johns Recreates Pizza Planet for Toy Story 5 Hype Papa Johns turned a West Hollywood storefront into the retro-futuristic pizzeria from the 1995 Toy Story, open for one day on Friday with themed pizzas like Space Ranger Roni and photo booths stocked with Toy Story 5 merchandise. Timed tickets sold out quickly, but walk-ins kept crowds coming to see the yellow delivery truck and neon Mission Control projections. This is one of four global pop-ups in London, Seoul, and Madrid, building excitement for Toy Story 5, where Woody, Buzz, and Jessie tackle kids' love for tech toys, directed by Andrew Stanton and hitting theaters June 19. News 24 Years Since Live-Action Scooby-Doo Hit Theaters The live-action Scooby-Doo, directed by Raja Gosnell and written by James Gunn, starred Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, and Linda Cardellini as Velma. They reunite on Spooky Island to solve a haunted resort mystery with possessions and demons, grossing over $275 million despite mixed reviews and a 32% Rotten Tomatoes score. Matthew Lillard's manic Shaggy stole the show, turning the film into a cult favorite that fans still quote and rewatch for its Y2K vibes and self-aware laughs. News The Batman Part II Begins Filming with First Clapperboard Shot Production on The Batman: Part II started after years of delays from strikes and script work, with Robert Pattinson returning as Batman alongside Colin Farrell, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright, and newcomers like Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan. The sequel builds on the 2022 film's $770 million success and noir style in Matt Reeves' standalone Gotham vision, separate from the main DCU, and arrives in theaters October 1, 2027. Rehearsals kicked off in London, and early excitement from the cast and crew has fans eager for more details on the grounded story penned with Mattson Tomlin.

The movie grossed $670 million worldwide, wowed audiences with Hans Zimmer's score and groundbreaking action, though critics gave mixed reviews for its grim tone. Today, fans highlight Cavill's intensity, emotional moments like young Clark hearing his mother's voice, and its lasting cult status in the Snyderverse, even outgrossing James Gunn's 2025 Superman. News IGN Ranks The Mandalorian and Grogu Near Bottom of Live-Action Star Wars Films IGN's new ranking tops with The Empire Strikes Back, followed by A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, down to The Mandalorian and Grogu at number 10—above only Attack of the Clones and The Rise of Skywalker. Critics gave mixed reviews at 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, calling it mediocre with a thin plot despite strong visuals and Pedro Pascal's charm, while audiences loved it at 88%, the highest for Disney-era Star Wars. The film earned $300 million worldwide against a $165 million budget after a soft $81 million domestic opening, splitting fans who praised the fun action and father-son bond between Mando and Grogu.

Media Man Web Tips Google News Past, Present And Future Google Search Off The Record (In Case You Missed It) How to read the Indexing Report youtube.com/watch?v=1-PcVL… July 16, 2026 Should you panic when your Search Console indexing report is showing pages that aren't indexed? Is a 404 error code always a sign of a broken website? In this episode of Search Off the Record, Martin Splitt and John Mueller from the Google Search Relations team dive deep into the Page Indexing report in Google Search Console. They unpack why treating this report as a static inventory checklist to "fix" things is the wrong response, how to spot massive SEO-ruining hosting or CDN traps, and why a healthy website doesn't actually need a 100% index rate. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Indexing Report Shift: Insights from the Search Console team's Hillel on why you should look for trend lines and systemic patterns rather than treating the report as a giant list of errors. When 404s are Good: Why expected 404 errors are technically correct for deleted content, and how to survive the "boss panic" of numbers that won't go down. The Domain Property Advantage: How setting up a domain property handles canonical shifts, www vs. non-www tracking, and performance data much cleaner. The Site Query vs. Search Console: Why the site: query is an artificial tool that might show old domain moves or hreflang swaps for years, making Search Console your only true source of truth. Hosting & CDN Traps: How aggressive bot protections, hidden interstitials, and "Soft 200" error pages completely destroy your crawl data and lead to malicious canonicalization. Discovered vs. Crawled: What it actually means when pages sit in "Discovered/Crawled - currently not indexed," and how to recognize holistic site quality issues over technical bugs. Key Takeaways for SEOs & Developers: Patterns over Inventories: Use the report to verify that your intentional changes (like site migrations or page removals) are processing correctly over time. Forget the Ratio: There is no magic metric for indexed vs. non-indexed pages. Even Google’s own developer documentation has a massive chunk of non-indexed content due to intentional choices. Watch Out for Soft Blocks: Ensure your security layers or CDNs aren't serving "Are you a bot?" challenge screens to Googlebot with a 200 success code. Computers Fail (And That's Fine): Minor server blips, failed DNS requests, or temporary 500 errors happen. Google's systems are resilient and will just try again later.

(Credit: Google) News Google Search Off The Record Should I use markdown for my site? youtube.com/watch?v=Vkn3R6… (Credit: Google) News Should you convert your website into Markdown to help Large Language Models (LLMs) understand your content better? Is "llms.txt" worth the effort for SEO? In this episode of Search Off the Record, Martin Splitt and John Mueller from the Google Search Relations team dive deep into the history of Markdown, its rise in the AI era, and whether it holds any real weight for search engine discovery. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Origins of Markdown: From John Gruber and Aaron Swartz to its status as the "language of GitHub." Markdown vs. HTML: Why the "cleanliness" of Markdown is tempting for developers but potentially risky for site structure. LLMs & Markdown: Do AI crawlers actually prefer Markdown, or are they already experts at parsing HTML? The "Parallel Version" Trap: Why creating a separate text/Markdown version of your site for AI can lead to the same maintenance nightmares as dynamic rendering. Use Cases that Make Sense: When Markdown is actually superior (like developer documentation) and when it’s totally unnecessary (like your shoe catalog). Key Takeaways for SEOs & Developers: Crawlers are built for the "messy" web: Google and other engines have decades of experience parsing HTML. Don't sacrifice discovery: Headers, footers, and sidebars in HTML provide critical context for site structure that a raw Markdown file might lack. Maintenance is king: Avoid the complexity of maintaining two versions of the same content. Chapters 0:00 - Introduction: Should we all be using Markdown? 3:45 - The history and purpose of Markdown. 7:15 - Why developers love it: Separation of style and content. 11:20 - Do crawlers need Markdown to understand your site? 14:50 - The danger of "parallel versions" and dynamic rendering lessons. 17:30 - Discussing the "llms.txt" proposal and AI agents. 21:00 - Where Markdown actually makes sense (Developer Docs). 24:00 - Final verdict: Stick to HTML for the web.

I guess, at that point, when we talk about monitoring, you probably need to make sure that you have the various things installed so that you actually see what is happening. Perhaps set up Search Console for your website so that you see the searches that people are doing. And, of course, some way to measure the goal that you want, which could be something perhaps in Analytics or perhaps there’s, I don’t know, some other way that you track in person if you have a physical store, like are people actually coming to my business after seeing my website, because it’s all well and good to do SEO, but if you have no way of understanding has it even changed anything, you don’t even know if you’re on the right track or recognize if something is going wrong.” News News Flashback (In Case You Missed It) Search Engine News: Google Search Off The Record by Google remains popular and helpful for webby, code community: Media June 27, 2024 Inside Search Quality: Using metrics and data science to improve Search youtube.com/watch?v=YrqpIP… In this episode of SOTR, Lizzi and John sit down with Elizabeth Tucker to go behind the scenes of Search Quality product management.

Pop Culture News Flashback The Greatest Movies Of All Time Media Man Series (In Case You Missed It) ‘Pulp Fiction’ Cast Reunites At TCM Classic Film Festival April 19, 2024 It's one of the most talked about and iconic movies of the past few decades and for good reason - Pulp Fiction. Now the films creator/writer absence from the TCM get together, Quentin Tarantino, has got folks talking even more. Will we ever know the real reason for QT's miss on this? It was the opening night of the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival to celebrate the flick's 30th anniversary. The modern classic, screened in 35mm, played to a packed house at the famed TCL Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. "Tonight, I miss one legendary Quentin Tarantino. He is the person who brings us together who changed my life, and I think changed the lives of everybody on the stage," lead actress Uma Thurman advised the packed in crowd at a Q&A before the screening. "Pulp Fiction changed cinema. It's almost hard to have it sink in. I have had an evolving, beautiful, and growing relationship with Pulp Fiction throughout my life. It changed cinema. It changed every filmmaker I've ever met since." The panel also featured John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, who played the legendary lead hitmen Vincent and Jules, and Harvey Keitel ("cleaner" Winston Wolfe). Critics and audiences lapped up to Pulp Fiction, which won the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. It was also a big hit, grossing $213.9 million against a budget in the region of $8 million to $8.5 million. It was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director for Tarantino, Best Actor for Travolta, Best Supporting Actor for Jackson, and Best Supporting Actress for Thurman. It was able to snatch Best Original Screenplay. "It was an undeniably articulate script and very easy to act," Travolta recalled. "The words came out effortlessly. Quentin's only real note was that sometimes he had an idea of the cadence and wanted you to say something. Whether it's Tennessee Williams or any great writer, the writing always works, but the writer might have a personal subjective idea of how it should be said with a rhythm and hitting operative words. That's what I found interesting and I like that direction. He said, 'I heard you do this several times, 12 times now, and all I ask of you is if you could hit this operative word, and that operative word, I think that rhythm will happen.' It was easy to do because it's such good writing." Travolta to People on the red carpet: "It was epic and it evolved," the actor said. "The audiences made this movie what it was, and it wasn't overnight. It took about a year of evolution. In those days, movies stayed in the theaters for a year. So, by the end of the year of it being, it was planetarily epic." Uma Thurman, who portrayed Mia Wallace: "It changed cinema, so it's almost hard to have it sink it," the actress said. "I feel like I've had an evolving and beautifully growing relationship with Pulp Fiction all my life. It changed cinema, and it changed every filmmaker I met since." Jackson added, "We also rehearsed for a month. It's one of the unique qualities that Quentin allows us as actors. They had a soundstage at Sony, they marked off the floor and everything John and I did in the killing room, we did the car, and the things had to do things with Jimmy. We rehearsed and rehearsed and rehearsed, so by the time we got to set and we were ready to do it, we knew the number of steps from the back of the car to the front door, the front door to the elevator, from the elevator and down the hall talking about the foot massage. We were there so it was a wonderful process that allowed us to do it."

Market Overview The crypto market capitalisation fell by 2.7% to $2.16T amid growing nervousness in traditional financial markets, where concerns over AI spending have intensified. The crypto market has returned to the levels seen at the start of the week, while the Nasdaq 100 is testing the region of its June lows. Furthermore, the crypto market capitalisation is trading near its 50-day moving average as the Nasdaq 100 is being sold off with alarming determination after dipping below it. At present, the situation appears to be a short-term sign of strength for cryptocurrencies following several months of pressure; however, sustained declines in shares and bonds have repeatedly forced investors to rebalance their portfolios, leading to painful selloffs in cryptocurrencies. Among the top coins, the biggest fallers include Zcash (-6.4%), Near Protocol (-5.3%) and Tezos (-5%). Polkadot (+1.1%), Litecoin (-0.2%) and Bitcoin Cash (-0.8%) are temporarily outperforming the market. Bitcoin has lost 2.9% over the past 24 hours, falling back to $62.8K. Due to external pressure, the leading cryptocurrency has failed to confirm a reversal of the downtrend, as higher highs were not formed, and the price quickly fell back below the 50-day MA, returning to the downtrend channel in place since June. The lower boundary of this range is currently near $56K, but support should also be expected near $61K and $59K, at previous local lows. News Background The proportion of long-term investors selling Bitcoin at a loss has stopped rising, which may be an early sign that the sell-off is coming to an end. The market is forming a bottom, but has not yet received signals for sustained growth, according to Glassnode. To confirm a recovery, BTC needs to consolidate above $65K and break through the key $69K level (the average price of short-term holders). Strategy has no intention of abandoning its long-term holding strategy for the leading cryptocurrency. Still, it will only resume buying BTC once its preferred shares (STRC) have recovered to their par value of $100, having refrained from buying Bitcoin for the past three weeks. The company will only consider debt-related risks should BTC fall to $8K–$10K, the company stated. Bitcoin appears ‘stable’ at this stage, largely due to a reduction in market participants’ leverage, said Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management firm. In his view, the next 12 months look “very optimistic” for global markets as a whole. Peter Schiff, head of Euro Pacific Capital and a crypto-sceptic, has urged investors to sell off all their bitcoins before the leading cryptocurrency breaks through the $58K support level. It could then fall below $50K, before plummeting to $30K or even $20K if the market fails to find new drivers for growth. Summary: The crypto market has declined under pressure from external markets. BTC has fallen back below the 50-day MA and could slide to $59–61K. (FxPpro) News 80 Hours Approx Ago Bitcoin and Ethereum have rebounded to intermediate resistances Market Overview The crypto market capitalisation has reached $2.2T, rising again after a brief pause. This steady increase has formed a smooth upward trend since 8 July, which appears to be part of a broader rebound from the lows seen at the end of June. The top performers among the most actively traded coins over the past 24 hours were IOTA (+7.9%), Aave (+6.8%) and Zcash (+6.7%). Tron (-0.2%), Theta Network and Hedera (both 0%) underperformed the market, though none saw any significant declines, indicating broad-based growth. Bitcoin has returned to the intermediate local highs around $64K, with increased buyer interest during dips to $62K. And this resilience from the flagship cryptocurrency is quite positive news for the entire market. Admittedly, significant resistance still lies ahead, but it is quite possible that over the weekend, due to reduced market liquidity, levels above $66K may also give way, drawing in more active participation from risk-taking buyers in response to technical reversal signals. Ethereum’s recovery stalled after reaching the 50-day moving average region near $1,800 at the start of the month. Resistance is further reinforced by the fact that the coin reversed around this level last month and, prior to that, in February, found support here. ETHUSD failed to quickly confirm a break of the downtrend following the rebound from June’s lows, as the previous support level has now become significant resistance. A sustained move above the 50-day moving average at $1,770 could signal a short-term bullish trend, whilst a firm rise above $1,800 would confirm it. News Background Bitcoin has been trading below its realised value of $76,600 for five months now. Such a prolonged period of undervaluation has occurred only a few times in history and has often preceded the formation of a long-term market bottom, according to Glassnode. According to CryptoQuant, USDC reserves on Binance have fallen by 21.6% over the past month, whilst abnormal one-day USDT outflows have been recorded on the Ethereum network. Such a significant withdrawal of liquidity deprives the market of buying power and makes it more vulnerable to volatility. Michael Selig, Chair of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has described Bitcoin as “one of the most anti-fragile assets”, having survived repeated market upheavals and tough measures by the authorities. In his view, BTC should be regarded as a commodity, similar to gold, silver or oil. The CFTC Chair has called on Congress to expedite passage of the CLARITY Act. Crypto custodian BitGo is set to launch quantum-resistant Bitcoin wallet tools for institutional clients in the coming weeks, including address risk assessment, automatic transfer of funds from vulnerable wallets and a new UTXO selection method. Trading volume on the Robinhood Chain DEX reached a record $564 million a week after its launch, amid the hype surrounding meme coins. The layer-two (L2) network is built on Arbitrum and focuses on real-world assets (RWAs). Summary: The crypto market is recovering, market capitalisation is rising, Bitcoin is holding steady at $64K, but ETH is still facing resistance at $1,800. (FxPro) News Lead Up 200 Hours Ago Gold News Gold: Does it have the momentum to set new records? The Fed’s rate hike expectations limit gold’s rally potential. Capital inflows into ETFs and central bank purchases are supporting the gold price. The US dollar failed to capitalise on the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. Reports of a tanker incident in the Strait of Hormuz are putting US-Iran negotiations at risk. Nevertheless, Brent crude rose only slightly, while the resumption of the S&P 500 rally and the associated improvement in global risk appetite are undermining the greenback’s position. The futures market is pricing in a 3-in-4 chance of a Fed rate hike in 2026. This is allowing speculators to build up net long positions in the US dollar to their highest levels since 2015, leaving the US currency’s positions vulnerable. No sooner had Kevin Warsh adopted less hawkish rhetoric in Sintra than the markets had anticipated, and the employment figures disappointed, than the EURUSD soared sharply. Lower chances of a Fed rate hike have allowed gold to find its footing. However, the Sword of Damocles (a potential federal funds rate hike due to persistent inflation) continues to hang over the precious metal. As the risks of an energy shock have receded, the inflationary nature of massive investments in artificial intelligence and weather-related supply chain disruptions remains a reality. Fears that the Federal Reserve will tighten monetary policy are unlikely to allow gold to return to its record highs in 2026. However, HSBC remains optimistic, expecting that medium-term demand for gold as a means of diversifying investment portfolios, capital inflows into ETFs and increased purchases of bullion by central banks will allow the precious metal to rise. Indeed, according to the World Gold Council, central banks increased their reserves by 41 tonnes in May, stepping up their bullion purchases. Poland and China were the most active. Since the start of the year, Poland has bought 64 tonnes, Uzbekistan 33 tonnes, China 25 tonnes and Kazakhstan 20 tonnes. HSBC believes that, in the short term, gold will come under pressure due to the strong US dollar and high yields on US Treasury bonds. In reality, its fate depends on the futures market’s reassessment of the trajectory of the federal funds rate. In this regard, clues from the minutes of the June FOMC meeting are certain to influence gold. Summary: Gold faces Fed-rate pressure, but ETF inflows and central-bank buying may support prices; FOMC clues could shape XAUUSD’s next move. (FxPro) News Lead Up 200 Approx Hours Ago US Dollar/Currency The dollar: things are heading towards de-escalation Rumours of talks between the US and Iran are dragging down the USD index. The ECB intends to act decisively on raising interest rates. The US dollar continued to retreat following Donald Trump’s statement that Iran is seeking a deal. Investors have encountered such rhetoric from the US president many times since April, and each time, escalation has been followed by de-escalation. A rise in the S&P 500 and Brent crude pulling back from local highs, coupled with falling Treasury bond yields, is creating headwinds for the USD index. The oil rally has revived the prospect of monetary tightening in European countries. The futures market assesses the probability of two rounds of monetary tightening by the ECB and the Bank of England in 2026 as 50%. It puts the probability at 90% that the European Central Bank will raise its deposit rate in September. The minutes of its June meeting noted that inflation would remain above the 2% target in the first half of 2027, even if monetary policy were tightened three times by that point. The ECB came under heavy criticism for being slow to raise interest rates in 2022 amid soaring consumer prices. It does not want to make the same mistake again, although the situation is now different from four years ago, with the eurozone economy weaker, and borrowing costs higher. Nevertheless, fears that rising energy prices will become embedded in core inflation and that inflationary expectations are pushing the European Central Bank to take decisive action. The futures market is pricing in only a 40% probability of two Fed rate hikes, which is lower than for the ECB, and playing into the hands of the bulls on EURUSD. In fact, the markets are focusing on TACO rather than the actions of central banks. Brent has stabilised above $76 per barrel. Although traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a halt and the number of tankers passing through has fallen to 25 from 30–50 in recent days, hopes for talks between the US and Iran are preventing oil prices from rising further. The weakness of the US dollar has allowed the bears on USDJPY to mount a counterattack. Satsuki Katayama further fuelled the pullback. The Finance Minister’s call for pension funds, including the GPIF, to increase their investments in Japanese assets proved more effective than verbal interventions. Summary: The dollar’s weakness has intensified on hopes of de-escalation between the US and Iran; rising oil prices are pushing the ECB towards a hawkish stance, supporting EURUSD and putting pressure on USDJPY.

BHP looked closely at whether to bid for Rio Tinto if the latter announced a merger with Glencore. The two companies would make excellent merger partners; amongst others things, their staff and senior people have similar cultures, they are co-operating on future Australian iron ore projects and they are copper joint venture partners in Chile and the US. Meanwhile, there are significance cultural differences between Rio Tinto and Glencore; there is little doubt that Rio Tinto's CEO Simon Trott would have had doubts about a merger once he understood these cultural differences. (RMS) News/Snapshot Australian Mining Global Commodity Rankings Australia holds some of the world's largest reserves and is a leading producer of several key minerals. #1 Producer: Iron Ore, Bauxite, Lithium, Rutile, and Zircon. #1 Reserves: Iron Ore, Gold, Lead, Nickel, Rutile, Uranium, and Zinc. #2 Producer: Gold, Alumina, and Manganese. Key Mining Hubs & Major Projects Western Australia: The nation's "engine room," producing 98% of Australia's iron ore and 60% of its gold. Major sites include the Pilbara (iron ore) and the Super Pit in Kalgoorlie (gold). Queensland: A global leader in metallurgical coal (Bowen Basin) and silver/lead production (Cannington mine). South Australia: Home to Olympic Dam, which contains the world's largest single uranium deposit and significant copper and gold reserves. Major Players The sector is dominated by several multinational giants and significant domestic players: BHP: Often ranked as Australia's most valuable company; major interests in iron ore, copper, and coal. Rio Tinto: A world leader in iron ore (Pilbara) and aluminum. Fortescue (FMG): Primarily focused on iron ore and rapidly expanding into green energy. Hancock Prospecting: Australia's largest private mining company, led by Gina Rinehart, the nation's wealthiest person. South32: Spun out of BHP; manages a diversified portfolio including manganese, silver, and nickel. 2026 Trends & Developments Critical Minerals Push: The government has introduced a $23 billion package to support domestic processing and manufacturing of critical minerals to reduce global reliance on single-country supply chains. Uranium Rally: Prices exceeding US$100/lb have sparked renewed interest in Australian prospects like the Kalkaroo project. M&A Activity: Major merger talks continue between giants like Rio Tinto and Glencore as they seek to consolidate copper exposure for the EV market. Workforce Challenges: The Minerals Council of Australia is currently calling for migration reforms to address a significant "skills crunch" in the sector.

Pop Culture Flashback Shattered Glass Trailer youtube.com/watch?v=LTeK1v… Shattered Glass Movie Review In 1998, young journalist, Stephen Glass (Hayden Christensen, `Attack Of The Clones`), was at the top of his game writing for the respected political magazine, The New Republic. Churning out story after story, he was beloved by his co-workers (including Chloe Sevigny and Melanie Lynskey) for his charming, self-deprecating demeanor, and by his editors for his ability to write colorful stories. When Glass's latest article covering a computer hacker becomes the focus of a rival's fact-checking eye (Steve Zahn), Glass's inability to substantiate his sources starts to become worrisome to his editor, Chuck Lane (Peter Sarsgaard, `Boys Don‘t Cry`). As Lane begins to investigate Glass's escalating deceptions, the editor soon learns just how fraudulent Glass has truly been with his stories throughout his time at the magazine. Based on the true story of the real Glass's infamous hoaxes, `Shattered Glass' is a film that probes the paranoia, confusion, and repulsion that was directed at Glass during this turbulent time. The Glass saga is ripe for exploration again, since the very same incident occurred this year with a New York Times writer named Jayson Blair. `Glass' helps get inside the mind of an impulsive soul seeking a way to stand out in front of his bosses, as well as savagely questing for adoration. `Shattered Glass' is careful not to make Glass solely an unethical beast, but it also doesn't make excuses for his reckless behavior - which is deeply needed for the film to work. The audience should be able to feel the wonderment, panic, and desperation of a mind that goes so far to cover its lies, it becomes unaware of what the truth is anymore. In that regard, `Glass' is wildly successful. Recognition must be paid to the cast, which is a corral of fantastic young talent. The film really belongs to Hayden Christensen and Peter Sarsgaard, who ride this roller coaster of trust and betrayal impressively with their roles. Christensen nails Glass's overconfidence and perpetual self-pitying suspicion perfectly, creating a concrete portrayal of ambition turned sour. For those who pooh-pooh his work in the `Star Wars' films: do the both of us a favor and check out how Christensen manages to convey so much self-loathing and concealed pride in one look. It's remarkable. The same goes for Sarsgaard, who develops the film's best dramatic arc: the slow reveal of deception as Lane begins to discover Glass's lies. A consistently reliable supporting talent (`K-19`), Sarsgaard shines here unlike ever before. `Shattered Glass' hits the screen from writer/director Billy Ray. This is Ray's first time behind the camera, but one would never know that from the finished product. This is as clean as filmmaking can get. Ray chooses economy over style and presents Glass's world as the paranoid, ego-boosting environment it is. Ray's previous screenwriting foibles included the Bruce Willis dud, `The Color Of Night,' and one of the worst films of 1997, `Volcano.' It's a small miracle that `Glass' has turned out so good after looking at Ray's filmography. The film takes place mostly in the cubicles and offices of wet-behind-the-ears journalists, but Ray breathes life into these surroundings. Where there could be just talking heads and office politics, Ray fashions The New Republic workplace as a battlefield of writers using gossip, charm, and occasionally genuine talent to rise to the top. The newsroom hasn't looked this exhilarating since `All the President's Men.' `Shattered Glass' is a film that could have been as dry and boring as say … reading The New Republic, but Ray makes conscious choices to keep the drama securely wound and permits the true story and commanding performances to compensate for lack of scope or budget. As riveting as any action blockbuster, `Shattered Glass' is further proof that there is occasionally better drama behind the headlines. Cast: Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Zahn, Melanie Lynskey, Hank Azaria, Rosario Dawson Director: Billy Ray Producers: Craig Baumgarten, Marc Butan, Tove Christensen, Gaye Hirsch, Adam Merims Screenplay: Billy Ray, based on the article by H.G.

Media/Showbiz/Studio News The Billionaires’ Brawl: Hollywood’s Top Dealmakers of 2025 (In Case You Missed It) David Zaslav sparks a bidding war to sell Warner Bros., Lachlan Murdoch is rebuilding the Fox empire and Bob Iger is getting Disney into the AI gold rush. Inside the year that reshaped the industry. What happened to a quiet December? This is the time usually reserved for reading too many best-of lists. Instead, each day brings another megadeal that will rattle the entertainment industry for years. While it’s only in the third inning of what could be a 12- to 18-month saga (or more) for Warner Bros., that $82.7 billion sale is top of mind given it means there’s one fewer major studio buyer regardless of whether Netflix or Paramount prevails. As David Ellison and Ted Sarandos battle over Warners, Lachlan Murdoch is rebuilding his father, Rupert’s, Fox empire and Bob Iger is getting Disney into the AI gold rush (we’ll see if it’s fool’s gold) and Saudi funds are flooding the zone for entertainment assets. Below are the pacts and players behind The Hollywood Reporter‘s most impactful deals of 2025. 01. David Zaslav’s Warner Bros. Auction The art of the bidding war When David Ellison began pursuing Warner Bros. Discovery after closing an $8 billion merger between Paramount and Skydance, it seemed as if a deal was imminent. But WBD chief David Zaslav had other plans. He cemented a spinoff structure that would allow the Warners empire to be cleaved off between the studio side (WB Pictures, HBO, HBO Max) and cable networks (CNN, Discovery, TNT, USA), giving him the option of holding two sales instead of one. While presiding over an auction that also included Comcast as a bidder, the Warners board went with Ted Sarandos and Netflix’s $82.7 billion deal (advised by Moelis & Co.) — which factors in a $5.8 billion breakup fee, as Zaslav hailed the deal as one marking “generational change.” Ellison still has a few chess moves to play; his $108 billion hostile bid may grow, for example. Yet Zaslav set up WBD shareholders for a tidy profit regardless of who ends up winning the bid and ended up shining the assets of Warners (in valuation at least) for the next owner. He’s also in line to receive hundreds of millions of dollars, thanks to his stock holdings and options that haven’t vested yet.

Sports Business/Tech World Cup “perfect environment” for cybercriminals Media Notes/Summary June - July 2026 With more than 84 per cent of professional sports organisations experiencing at least one cyber incident in the past 12 months, and more than half being struck multiple times, proactive resilience around the FIFA World Cup 2026, world’s biggest tournament must be a top priority says Cynthia Overby, director of strategic security solutions, ZCOE at Rocket Software. “World Cup host cities are currently welcoming millions of people, including players, officials, game sponsors, and media personnel. With many relying heavily on connected devices and public networks, the tournament is creating an unmissable opportunity for cybercriminals to exploit. Smartphones, laptops, and other internet-enabled devices are particularly vulnerable to attacks, especially when users connect to unsecured Wi-Fi networks. Cybercriminals are also reportedly launching large-scale phishing campaigns via fake ticket offers, counterfeit merchandise websites and impersonated communications to trick fans into revealing sensitive personal and financial information,” said Overby. “The massive volume of personal and financial data being processed by travel, hospitality, and event servers creates further risk, as it creates a target for data breaches. State-affiliated hackers also pose a risk to critical infrastructure, with potential malware targets including stadium Jumbotrons, municipal transit networks, and tournament ticketing systems. Even those not in attendance remain vulnerable, as cybercriminals increasingly utilise fraudulent “free stream” sites to distribute malware and hijack personal devices.” “To secure the World Cup digitally as well as physically, organisers must implement a multi-layered defence and proactive security protocols. This begins with enforcing email authentication across all official tournament and vendor domains, as well as isolating operational technology, such as stadium lighting, HVAC, and digital signage, from corporate IT and public Wi-Fi networks. Finally, organisers must implement identity zero trust, by requiring strict multi-factor authentication and least-privilege access controls for all third-party vendors managing physical infrastructure to guard against unauthorised access during the event,” concluded Overby. Protect yourself at all times.
