American companies are beating earnings forecasts by cutting costs, raising prices, and relying on automation rather than consumer spending. C.H. Robinson’s CFO Damon Lee said: “The outcome of those transformations means less head count, more productivity,” after reporting 35% productivity gains since 2022. Monster Beverage and Estée Lauder also cut jobs to lift profits, while Spectrum Brands cited tariffs and weak demand. Despite S&P 500 earnings per share rising 13% in Q2, worker surveys show falling morale, with many asked to do more with less. Analysts warn prolonged strain could trigger a downturn, erode long-term resilience, and weaken consumer confidence.

The Employment Rights Bill could significantly impact small businesses, according to HR consultants. The Bill aims to enhance workers' rights, including extending unfair dismissal rights and tightening zero-hours contract regulations. Government analysis estimates the measures could add £5bn to employer costs, with additional amendments potentially increasing expenses by £80m annually. Phil Coxon, CEO of Breathe HR, said: "British businesses face a perfect storm," highlighting that the Bill "brings administrative, legal, and financial changes which will be challenging to implement." The British Retail Consortium has warned that over half of retailers may cut staff in response to the Bill. Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves faces mounting criticism as small business job vacancies fell 18% following her national insurance hike. The Federation of Small Business claims members “don’t feel the government has their backs,” while Lib Dems urge scrapping the “jobs tax.” ONS data shows 46,000 fewer vacancies at small firms since the 2024 Autumn Budget, part of a £25bn revenue plan for public spending. Critics argue the tax contradicts Reeves' growth goals.

Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has proposed ending subsidies for wireless internet on school buses, a program initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Carr criticized the previous administration's policies, arguing that they "failed to demonstrate that these funding decisions would advance legitimate classroom or library purposes." The U.S. Senate previously voted to repeal these subsidies, with Senate Commerce Committee chair Ted Cruz (R-TX) highlighting concerns over parental consent and filtering requirements for the distributed hotspots. Former FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel had supported the program, arguing it would assist students, particularly those in rural areas, in completing homework during long bus rides.

AICPA has enhanced its Digital Assets Practice Aid by adding a chapter focused on auditing cryptocurrency lending and borrowing transactions. This chapter provides auditors with examples of procedures to identify and address potential misstatements in financial reporting. It outlines two typical scenarios, detailing audit strategies from both the lender's and borrower's perspectives. Di Krupica, senior manager of digital assets at AICPA, said: "Auditing crypto lending and borrowing transactions can be complicated, and until now auditors have operated with a minimal amount of clear guidance." The new resource aims to facilitate effective auditing and enhance transparency for investors and the public.

Lord Pentland, Scotland's Lord President, has warned that appointing judges to chair public inquiries significantly strains court resources. In a letter to MSPs, he highlighted that ongoing inquiries have cost £240m and noted that judges chairing these inquiries lead to a loss of nearly 10% of sitting days in High Court and Court of Session cases. He stated: "Appointing a judge to a public inquiry therefore has a disproportionate impact on an already overstretched resource." The number of pending trials is expected to double this year compared to 2019-20, exacerbating the pressure on the judiciary.

The Trump administration has urgently petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a federal ruling that found the president exceeded his authority in imposing global tariffs. Solicitor General John Sauer emphasized the need for swift review due to its impact on trade talks. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that delay could disrupt up to $1trn in tariffs and ongoing negotiations. A federal court found Trump’s use of emergency powers under the 1977 law unlawful, stating it doesn’t authorize tariff imposition. Small businesses, hurt by the tariffs, also support a quick resolution.

PFZW, one of Europe’s largest pension funds with €250bn in assets, has withdrawn a €14.5bn mandate from BlackRock, citing concerns over the firm’s voting record on sustainability. The decision underscores growing tensions between European and American investors over ESG standards. While US firms have pulled back from sustainability amid shifting political winds, Dutch activists are pressing pension funds to cut ties with managers not backing climate resolutions. PFZW confirmed that BlackRock now manages only a smaller portion of its money market holdings. According to BlackRock, its support for environmental and social recommendations from shareholders decreased from 4% in 2024 to 2% in 2025. The asset manager said many of them lacked economic merit or were unduly prescriptive, which is why they fell.

Nasdaq has said it will tighten listing rules and trading standards for small stocks as it seeks to combat a spate of suspected “pump and dump” scams involving Chinese companies listed in the U.S. The exchange is to usher in an "accelerated process" for suspending and delisting small stocks that fail to meet its standards. Minimum float requirements will be modified “specifically for companies principally operating in China”. While Nasdaq’s exchange is home to some of the world’s biggest companies, such as Apple and Amazon, it also draws numerous IPOs from tiny companies. Brokers and trading firms say Nasdaq’s minimum listing standards are too lax, enabling the listing of dubious companies, particularly from foreign jurisdictions. John Zecca, Nasdaq’s global chief legal, risk and regulatory officer, said the exchange had been monitoring “the extreme volatility and potential trading market manipulation that has been observed within our US markets, especially with respect to smaller companies that are principally operating in China”.
