Deutsche Bank Sees Ruble Dip Temporary on Oil, Sanctions Outlook
The ruble weakened for a second day, trimming a three-month rally that Deutsche Bank AG says has yet to run its course. While the currency depreciated 0.7 percent to 66.4030 per dollar by 5:40 p.m. in Moscow, Deutsche Bank strategists said the ruble is in a "prime position" to build on its 11 percent advance in 2016. The bank based its projection on a view that crude, Russia’s main export earner, will "grind higher" and for penalties imposed over the conflict in Ukraine to be lifted within "a year or so."...

Stuck with dangerous dollar dominance
The world is getting an object lesson on the problems of having one dominant global currency and even the supposed prime beneficiary, the United States, can see the downside. Alarming bouts of volatility in world financial markets over the past 12 months have been rooted in a fear of what happens when a world with its highest-ever peacetime debt pile faces even a hint of higher interest rates...

The migrant crisis will never end. It is part of the modern world
Sometimes, one fact goes a long way towards explaining a global crisis. Behind the rubber dinghies laden with desperate people washing up on European beaches and the refugee camps spread across the deserts of Jordan - or, for that matter, the plains of Chad – lies a remarkable figure...

Living in The Glass Cage: why our drive to automation needs an urgent re-think

Uber’s deal with U.S. drivers looks cheap
Uber is getting off cheaply in its deal with disgruntled U.S. drivers. Treated as employees rather than independent contractors, the ride-hailing service might have had to pay them as much as $730 million more, according to court papers. That makes a $100 million settlement of two class-action lawsuits look like peanuts... (Reuters)

Recession May Loom for Next U.S. President No Matter Who That Is
Talk about a poisoned chalice. No matter who is elected to the White House in November, the next president will probably face a recession. The 83-month-old expansion is already the fourth-longest in more than 150 years and starting to show some signs of aging as corporate profits peak and wage pressures build. It also remains vulnerable to a shock because growth has been so feeble, averaging just about 2 percent since the last downturn ended in June 2009... (Bloomberg)
