CNN —James Cameron isn’t just one of Hollywood’s most successful directors ever, he’s also a lover of deep sea exploration. Here’s what the director has said in the past about the deep sea exploration. Cameron took cameras to document the entire trek in the western Pacific. The sub’s just going like a bat out of hell.”Quickly, he said, he went past Titanic depth.

☆ New L&G CEO has ways to tackle Brexit discount
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

LONDON, June 15 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Britain’s Legal & General (LGEN.L) is betting on an outsider to offset a valuation discount against non-UK rivals. The $17 billion insurer has picked Banco Santander’s (SAN.MC) regional head of Europe António Simões as its new CEO. The unit’s non-UK assets accounted for 43% of new money last year. The arrival of the Portuguese-born banker will cost L&G 1.175 million pounds in annual basic salary, 9% more than Wilson’s base pay. That adds pressure for Simões to tackle L&G’s Brexit valuation gap.

☆ Irish fintech Wayflyer renews debt line as clients focus on security of funding

DUBLIN, June 14 (Reuters) - Irish fintech Wayflyer has renewed a $300 million debt line with J.P. Morgan (JPM.N), a step it said underscores the security of its finance base as clients focus more on the source of revenue-based lenders' funds after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Corbett declined to disclose the new terms but said that while all debt is now more expensive, the renewed line likely gives Wayflyer the most competitive cost base in the market. Corbett said deteriorating macroeconomic conditions forced it to take a more conservative stance in the second half of the year. Wayflyer cut its workforce by 40% to 300 last November in response, but continues to operate in 12 markets. Wayflyer's revenue is up around 30% year-on-year so far in 2023, Corbett said, with demand in the U.S. "still extremely strong."

"The central bank's rate cut decision was not a complete surprise to the market," said Ken Cheung, chief Asian FX strategist at Mizuho Bank. Further interest rate cuts in China would only widen the yield gap with the United States, even if the Fed pauses this week, sending the yuan lower and accelerating capital outflows. Tuesday's rate cut suggests policymakers are increasingly worried about the health of China's recovery, traders and analysts said. Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources, that China was considering at least a dozen stimulus measures including cuts to interest rates to support areas such as real estate and domestic demand. "There could be another RRR or policy interest rate cut in Q4, depending on the economic outcome over the next several months."

Cunningham says raising funds will almost always take more time and labor than you expect, so stay persistent, patient and proactive. One of the greatest challenges of entrepreneurship is raising money for your startup, especially if you don't have an established network of venture capitalists (VCs) to rely on. Dedication and follow-ups: Raising funds requires significant effort and labor. I've said it once already, and I'll say it again: Raising funds will almost always take more time and labor than you expect. Allow ample time for the fundraising process, leverage your founder network, create a compelling pitch deck, and craft personalized outreach messages.

You may also consider contacting a business loan specialist or a direct business lender that offers many options. "Business loan options are abundant, and it can be very easy to obtain business financing," says Grayson. Lenders generally look at your time in business, credit scores (both business and personal), cash flow, collateral, and the industry the business is in. Grayson emphasizes three key factors that lenders prioritize before making lending decisions: Ability to repay the loan, the need for the money and how it will assist with a critical business need or growth, and the business and business owner's overall creditworthiness. Grayson emphasizes that research is the most important tool to be successful with a small business loan.

The planned 45-minute train ride between Jakarta and Bandung compares with a car journey of two to three hours or the current three-hour rail trip.

Biggest US banks could see 20% boost in capital requirements, Wall Street Journal reports. Midsize regional banks underwent extreme stress earlier this year, with First Republic and two others failing, yet the biggest banks in the US may be the ones hit with tougher regulatory rules. The proposals are expected as soon as this month and will vary based on the bank's businesses, according to the Journal. After the financial crisis of 2007-2008, regulators worldwide sought to bolster banks' capital requirements. And the recent turmoil in the US regional banks only underscored the current strength of the mega banks, suggesting that the focus on increasing capital at the biggest institutions was misplaced.

SHANGHAI/SINGAPORE, June 2 (Reuters) - China's yuan has skidded to six-month lows against the dollar and analysts say it could weaken further as investors fret over a bumpy pandemic recovery in the world's second-largest economy. "The yuan suffers as China's reopening story is less appealing than before, and there is no sign of further stimulus," said Gary Ng, senior economist for Asia Pacific at Natixis. "A weaker currency at the current juncture can help export performance, especially as global trade is shrinking this year." "A weaker yuan helps exporters when they convert the dollar receivables to yuan," said Barclays' FX strategist Lemon Zhang. A weaker yuan might also temper deflationary pressures being seen in parts of the economy due to weak domestic demand.

NEW YORK, June 2 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co's (JPM.N) President and Chief Operating Officer Daniel Pinto said loan demand is declining at a time when regional and small banks are also tightening credit. JPMorgan's revenue for investment banking and trading are expected to decline 15% in the second quarter, Pinto said last month at the bank's annual investor day. Uncertainty and increased market volatility as central banks approach the end of their monetary tightening cycles have dented investment banking demand. Rival Goldman Sachs (GS.N) has said its dealmaking and trading revenue may slide by 25% in the second quarter, leading to job cuts. Bank of America Corp (BAC.N) expects investment banking fees and trading revenue to be broadly flat this quarter.
