Out of one frying pan, into more frying pans

Rich Americans are now in a bind. Caught in a chaotic post-Trumpian whirlpool, they have been mulling over a possible shift of their assets and residences to Europe. They love the idea of a second citizenship in that continent. More so because they feel packing their bags for the European shift is the best way to prepare for the unexpected. The tragedy is that these misguided rich men and women…

America’s wealthy must prepare for the unexpected

Ironically, under president Donald Trump, America’s wealthy are worried. This is surprising because Mr Trump is usually pro-rich. Despite their belief that he would not crucify them on the cross of Joe Biden-inspired billionaire’s tax, America’s affluent families should begin looking at safer pastures outside their country. Mr Trump is unpredictable, even the wealthy in America should have the…

GBP: Risk-Reward Into Super Thursday: 'Struggling For Traction' - BofAML

Bank of America Merrill Lynch Research sees little reason for a hawkish Bank of England Quarterly Inflation Report on Thursday. 

On the FX front front, BofAML notes that judging by the level of front-end implied volatility, FX markets expect very little tail risk from Super Thursday in line with BofAML's economists' expectations.

"The resilience of GBP has been impressive in a month where seasonal factors tend to weigh on sterling and where positioning has now eased away from extreme shorts. The failure to make a sustained break above $1.30 in GBP/USD suggests upward momentum is waning, which should see sterling head lower," BofAML argues. 

As such, BofAML doubts that the BoE Inflation Report will meaningfully shift the dial on this near-term bias noticing that sterling remains rich relative to rate differentials, which is a clear sign the recent rally has been driven by a squeeze in short positioning despite the softening in real activity data.

The risks to this view, according to BofAML, are a more hawkish slant to tone of the QIR and potentially another MPC member moving into the rate hike camp. Nonetheless, BofML argues that with positioning now less extreme and with three-month GBP/USD risk reversals the least bias for GBP puts since 2015, GBP/USD may continue to struggle to make a sustained break above $1.30.

GBP/USD is trading circa 1.2935 as of writing.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy publishes an annual round up of the top 50 philanthropists by calculating their yearly donations. In 2017, America's super rich and famous donated $14.7 billion to causes, alma maters, foundations, and charities. Bill and Melinda Gates top the list.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy publishes an annual list of the top 50 philanthropists (both individuals and couples) by calculating their yearly donations.

In 2017, America's wealthiest residents donated $14.7 billion to nonprofit organizations.

About 60% of the total was donated by people who made their fortunes in tech, suggesting America's philanthropic center is shifting away from Wall Street and towards Silicon Valley, according to The Chronicle.

America's wealthiest people donated $14.7 billion in 2017 to causes, alma maters, foundations, and charities — more than doubling the amount given away in 2016.

For 18 years, The Chronicle of Philanthropy has published an annual round up of the top-50 philanthropists in America by calculating their yearly donations. In 2017, the individuals and couples on the list donated a median of $97 million, doubling the giving amount from the first list published in 2000. The total donation amount of the 2017 list is the highest amount since the 2008 recession, according to Forbes.

The 2017 list features 11 individuals or couples from the technology industry accounting for $8.7 billion in donations, or about 60% of the total, suggesting America's philanthropic center is shifting away from Wall Street and towards Silicon Valley, according to The Chronicle.

The top three donors who gave away at least $1 billion each are tech moguls: Michael and Susan Dell, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, and Bill and Melinda Gates.

Notably missing from the list is billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who made a multibillion-dollar donation in Berkshire Hathaway stock to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2017. But because the "annual installment" was part of Buffett's initial 2006 pledge to donate more than $36 billion in Berkshire Hathaway shares to the Gates' organization, the Chronicle did not count it as a 2017 donation.

Below are the top 25 philanthropists who donated more than $97 million each in 2017. Note that four people passed away after the ranking was first published in February — Porter Byrum, David Rockefeller, Florence Irving, and Henry Hillman.
