It is not difficult to spot the change. Bookshops now dedicate entire sections to financial guides. Trains are plastered with advertisements for investing seminars. Financial influencers command enormous online audiences with tutorials on how to build a portfolio or open a brokerage account. As Ponchiyo, a 31-year-old YouTuber with almost 500,000 subscribers, puts it: “People are realising it is wasteful to leave money sitting in savings.” More
Shares of WK Kellogg spiked on a report that Ferrero is nearing an agreement to buy the breakfast food company for about $3 billion.
A deal could close as soon as this week, according to The Wall Street Journal.
WK Kellogg, which makes cereals such as Froot Loops and Frosted Flakes, spun off into a standalone company in 2023.

Shares of WK Kellogg soared more than 50% on Wednesday following a report that chocolate maker Ferrero is close to a roughly $3 billion deal to buy the cereal company.
The Italian company known for its circular hazelnut chocolates could finalize an acquisition of the legacy breakfast foods business as soon as this week, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
WK Kellogg, which makes U.S. childhood staples such as Froot Loops and Frosted Flakes, spun off into a standalone company in 2023. A separate publicly traded business, Kellanova, now houses snack brands such as Pringles and Cheez-It. M&M owner Mars agreed to buy Kellanova for $36 billion last year in a deal that has not yet closed.
WK Kellogg shares have fallen about 2% this year, and the company has a roughly $1.5 billion market cap.
A Ferrero acquisition of WK Kellogg would add to consolidation in packaged foods. Many American consumers have shunned sugary cereals in favor of breakfast options considered healthier, and other shoppers moved to private label brands after inflation spiked in recent years.
The move would deepen Ferrero’s ambitions in the U.S. market. The third-largest U.S. candy company in May announced a new slate of products to appeal to American consumers, including peanut Nutella and Dr Pepper Tic Tacs. More
Eli Manning says he is no longer interested in purchasing a minority stake in the New York Giants.
The former MVP says NFL team valuations have become too expensive for his taste.
Giants owners hired Moelis & Company to explore a potential sale of “a minority, non-controlling stake,” they said in February.
Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is no longer interested in buying a minority stake in his old team, telling CNBC Sport on Wednesday that he’s been priced out.
“Basically, it’s too expensive for me,” Manning said in an interview. “A 1% stake valued at $10 billion turns into a very big number.”
Manning’s comments come as team valuations skyrocket.
In CNBC’s Official NFL Team Valuations published in September, the Giants were valued at $7.85 billion, ranking fourth among the league’s 32 teams.
In December, the Philadelphia Eagles sold a minority stake in the team at a valuation of $8.3 billion — roughly $1 billion higher than where CNBC Sport had valued the team a few months earlier. In May, the San Francisco 49ers sold a 6.2% stake at a valuation of more than $8.5 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. CNBC’s September valuation marked the 49ers at $7.4 billion.
And last month, the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers agreed to sell the majority of the team at a $10 billion valuation, far higher than the franchise’s $7 billion valuation according to CNBC Sport’s Official NBA Team Valuations, published in February.

Manning said he doesn’t have interest in buying a stake in any other NFL team and that he believes the Giants are deserving of a $10 billion valuation. He also said other complications contributed to his decision to withdraw his name.
“I wouldn’t be able to talk to players that I coached in the Pro Bowl. It was going to affect my day job,” said Manning, adding there could have been conflicts of interest with his role on ESPN’s ManningCast, the alternative Monday Night Football broadcast that he co-hosts with his brother, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.
Eli Manning made more than $250 million in career earnings from the Giants and many millions more from endorsements. He owns a production company — Ten Till Productions — and is a partner in the private equity firm Brand Velocity Group.
Minority sale continues
The Mara family, which has owned the Giants since the team’s founding in 1925, currently owns 50% of the team. The Tisch family has owned the other half since 1991.
Both families hired Moelis & Company to explore a potential sale of “a minority, non-controlling stake,” they said in February.
There’s been renewed interest in NFL ownership in recent months. Last year, the league voted to allow private equity firms to take stakes of up to 10% in teams.
CNBC reported in May that investor Julia Koch had submitted a bid for a minority stake in the Giants. Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan and billionaire Marc Lasry also teamed up to make a bid, Sportico reported in May.
Manning said he still plans to be very involved in the Giants organization. He told CNBC Sport he has already spoken to the team, focusing on advice to the rookies, earlier this year.
He is also a minority owner in the National Women’s Soccer League’s Gotham FC and TGL’s New York golf team. More
Fed officials diverged at their June 17-18 meeting about how aggressively they would be willing to cut interest rates.
They were split between concerns over tariff-fueled inflation and signs of labor market weakness and economic strength.

Federal Reserve officials diverged at their June meeting about how aggressively they would be willing to cut interest rates, split between concerns over tariff-fueled inflation and signs of labor market weakness and economic strength.
Minutes from the June 17-18 meeting released Wednesday showed that policymakers largely held to a wait-and-see position on future rate moves. The meeting ended with Federal Open Market Committee members voting unanimously to hold the central bank’s key borrowing rate in a range between 4.25%-4.5%, where it has been since December 2024.
However, the summary also showed a growing divide over how policy should proceed from here.
“Most participants assessed that some reduction in the target range for the federal funds rate this year would likely be appropriate,” the minutes said, as officials saw tariff-induced inflation pressures as potentially “temporary and modest” while economic growth and hiring could weaken.
How far the cuts could go, though, was a matter of debate.
Opinions ranged from a “couple” officials who said the next cut could come as soon as this month to “some” who thought no reductions this year would be appropriate. Though the minutes do not mention names, Fed Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller have gone on record saying they could see their way to cutting rates as soon as the July 29-30 Fed meeting if inflation stays under control.
At the same time, “several” officials said they thought the current overnight funds rate “may not be far” from a neutral level, meaning only a few cuts may be ahead. Those officials cited inflation still above the 2% goal amid a “resilient” economy.
In Fed parlance, some is more than several.
Officials at the meeting updated their projections for rate cuts, expecting two this year followed by three more over the next couple years. However, the “dot plot” of individual members’ outlooks reflected division over the extent of cuts.
The release comes with President Donald Trump ramping up pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his cohorts to cut aggressively. In public statements and on his Truth Social site, Trump has lambasted Powell, going as far to call for his resignation.
Powell has said repeatedly that he won’t bow to political pressure when it comes to setting monetary policy. For the most part, he has joined the cautious approach, insisting that with a strong economy and uncertainty over inflation, the Fed is in a good position to stay on hold until it has more information.
The minutes largely reflect that stance that policy is currently well positioned to respond to changes in the data.
“Participants agreed that although uncertainty about inflation and the economic outlook had decreased, it remained appropriate to take a careful approach in adjusting monetary policy,” the document stated.
Officials also noted that they “might face difficult tradeoffs if elevated inflation proved to be more persistent while the outlook for employment weakened.” In that case, they said they would weigh which side was further from its goal in formulating policy.
Since the meeting, Trump has continued negotiations with key U.S. trading partners, with the tariff ground shifting on a near-daily basis. Trump initially announced tariffs on April 2, and then has altered deadlines for agreements, most recently ticking off a series of letters to foreign leaders notifying them of looming levies should they not act.
Recent data indicate that Trump’s tariffs have not fed into prices, at least on a large scale.
The consumer price index showed an increase of just 0.1% in May. While inflation gauges are still mostly above the Fed’s 2% target, recent sentiment surveys show the public is growing less fearful of inflation further down the road.
“Many participants noted that the eventual effect of tariffs on inflation could be more limited if trade deals are reached soon, if firms are able to quickly adjust their supply chains, or if firms can use other margins of adjustment to reduce their exposure to the effects of tariffs,” the minutes stated.
At the same time, job gains have slowed considerably, though the rate of nonfarm payrolls growth has consistently surprised economists. June showed an increase of 147,000, against the consensus forecast for 110,000, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.1%.
Consumer spending has slowed considerably. Personal expenditures declined 0.1% in May, while retail sales tumbled 0.9%.

In a more predictable world, stocks would be easy to price. A share gives its owner claim to a series of cash flows, such as dividends and earnings. Investors would forecast the future value of each, then discount it to a present value based on prevailing interest rates, the riskiness of the cash flow and their own risk appetite. Add them all up, and that would be the stock’s price. More
The next Fed chair faces an additional burden: credibility issues now that President Donald Trump has stepped up efforts to exert a heavy hand on monetary policy.
Trump reportedly is considering naming a “shadow chair” until the current occupant, Jerome Powell, leaves office next year, in an attempt to pressure the Fed into cutting rates.
“The real loser here is not Jay Powell but his successor,” TS Lombard economist Dario Perkins wrote. “We don’t even know who that person is, and already there are strong doubts about their integrity and what sort of ‘deal’ they have made to secure the position.”

If leading the Federal Reserve isn’t challenging enough, the next central bank chair faces an additional burden: credibility issues now that President Donald Trump has stepped up efforts to exert a heavy hand on monetary policy.
Whoever the successful candidate is could carry the specter of being there simply to do Trump’s bidding on interest rates, violating the Fed’s traditionally apolitical veneer.
To exert more influence in the near term, Trump reportedly is considering naming a “shadow chair” until the current occupant, Jerome Powell, leaves office next year, in an attempt to pressure the Fed into cutting rates.
The prospect leaves a series of thorny questions.
Beyond the awkward logistics of such an arrangement, there are potentially troublesome implications both institutionally for the Fed and for financial markets that count on it to make data-driven decisions free of outside influence.
“Naturally, this is an idea that leaves many investors feeling uneasy,” Dario Perkins, senior European economist at TS Lombard, said in a note Tuesday titled “Can We Trust the Next Fed Chair?” “Suddenly all the talk is of the Fed ‘losing independence’ and of there being a new era of ‘fiscal dominance’ – not helped by the fact that Trump is explicitly linking his demand for lower rates to reducing debt-servicing costs.”
Indeed, Fed officials generally make decisions in service to their twin goals, or “dual mandate,” namely to promote stable inflation or full employment.
What Trump has been demanding is different — he has been hectoring Powell and his fellow Federal Open Market Committee officials, in increasingly belligerent terms, to cut rates to lower financing costs for the government’s ever-burgeoning debt load. Trump insists the Fed could save taxpayers some $800 billion by aggressively lowering its overnight funds rate, which currently sits at 4.33%.
Powell and his predecessors have repeatedly held the line that the public fiscal situation does not and will not play a role in rate decisions. Veering outside the traditional Fed decision-making parameters would pose further questions for the next chair’s credibility.
Advantages and disadvantages
“The real loser here is not Jay Powell but his successor,” Perkins wrote. “We don’t even know who that person is, and already there are strong doubts about their integrity and what sort of ‘deal’ they have made to secure the position. But it seems pretty clear that Powell’s replacement will come with a ‘tacit understanding’ to cut rates.”
To be sure, central bank experts acknowledge that there is some benefit to Trump wanting to get ahead of the game in naming the next Fed chair.
In fact, there usually is some lead time between when presidents announce chair nominees and when they are actually seated. For instance, Powell was nominated in November 2017 while Janet Yellen was still chair, then confirmed the following February.
Powell’s term as chair ends in May 2026, so nominating a successor perhaps a few months early would give the prospective nominee the chance to get through the Senate confirmation process and bone up on the myriad responsibilities that the position carries.
But Trump’s idea is different.
Such a “shadow chair,” under the market’s understanding and in conjunction with statements that Trump and his lieutenants have made on the matter, would be in place almost explicitly to undermine Powell. Should Powell not budge on pushing for rate cuts, the shadow chair could simply make public statements contrary to that position.
However, finding a candidate to fill that role might not be so easy considering the reputational risks.
“From the perspective of the nominee, there’s nothing good about being nominated far out in advance and being expected to serve as a shadow Fed chair. That can only end poorly,” said Lev Menand, an associate professor of law at Columbia Law School and author of the 2022 book, “The Fed Unbound: Central Banking in a Time of Crisis.”
“It could lead to reputational harm. It could lead to pressure on you to say or do things in the run-up to actually taking office that you don’t want to say or do,” he added. “It could lead to your nomination being yanked. It could lead to all sorts of bad things. So there’s nobody who’s seeking the Fed chair job who’s going to want to be put up early, except someone who’s told you won’t otherwise get it.”
Markets might not like it
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been mentioned prominently as a potential Powell replacement, along with several others.
In an Oct. 9, 2024, interview with Barron’s, less than a month before Trump’s election victory, Bessent said, “You could do the earliest Fed nomination and create a shadow Fed chair.” In such a case, “no one is really going to care what Jerome Powell has to say anymore.”
How financial markets would react to such a scenario is unclear. Wall Street is notorious for disliking uncertainty, especially with something as sensitive as monetary policy.
The last time the Fed cut rates, in late 2024, stocks rose but so did Treasury yields while the dollar fell. Rate cuts on the scale Trump is seeking — 2 percentage points or even more — could stoke inflation fears and send Treasury yields higher again.
“A good case could be made for nominating the next Fed chair a few months before the handover in May 2026,” Krishna Guha, head of global policy and central bank strategy at Evercore ISI, said in a recent note. “But nominating the next Fed chair now with the expectation that this person would be an active alternative voice on monetary policy for the best part of year would confuse the market, making it harder for the Fed to shape rate expectations and potentially … in ways that would not help advance rate cuts.”
Trump has a further set of logistics to navigate as he pushes his desire for lower rates.
Rate cuts aren’t certain
There is only one upcoming vacancy on the board of governors, with Adriana Kugler’s term up at the end of January 2026.
Powell’s time as chair runs out in May 2026, but he can stay on as governor until 2028. In the past, most Fed chairs have stepped down after the time at the helm ended; should Powell not go that route, he would then force Trump to name a current sitting governor as his successor, eliminating presumptive candidates such as Bessent, former Governor Kevin Warsh and current National Economic Council leader Kevin Hassett.
Moreover, the chair is just one voter out of 12 on the Federal Open Market Committee. While there currently are disparate views from policymakers on how quickly rates should come down, there are no members who have indicated they support the kind of cuts Trump seeks.
Investors will get a further peek into the Fed’s thinking when minutes of the June FOMC meeting are released Wednesday.
“This is all somewhat unprecedented how things would develop,” Menand said. “But I think that it’s safe to say that depending on how it’s rolled out, it could really ultimately unsettle expectations and change how some of these dynamics unfold in the fall.”
Markets expect the Fed will start cutting again in September, but the path from there is unclear. Should Trump name the shadow chair in the fall, it comes with the risk of both unsettling markets, and of causing problems for whomever he picks.
“Depending on who it is, it could have no effect, really at all, on Powell’s ability to govern for the remainder of his term, or it could actually be quite disruptive,” Menand added. “What would actually happen if the person was named in advance? The devil would be in the details.”

President Trump signed a so-called big beautiful bill on July 4 that nearly halves annual funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
CFPB funding would fall to 6.5% of the annual operating expenses of the Federal Reserve, down from 12%. That’s the lowest share in agency history.
Consumer advocates say the funding will weaken the bureau’s ability to police financial firms and consumer financial laws.

A massive tax and spending law that President Donald Trump signed last week slashes the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s annual budget — and critics of the move say they fear it may lead to less oversight of financial firms and bring more harm to consumers.
“There’s no way to paint a positive picture about it,” said Adam Rust, director of financial services at the Consumer Federation of America, a consumer advocacy group.
The CFPB was created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis to serve as a single agency policing the financial ecosystem for consumer harm, a function previously scattered among multiple regulators.
The watchdog has overseen banks, payday lenders, credit bureaus, debt collectors, student loan servicers, private student lenders and other financial firms.
‘Half a David’ versus Goliath
Unlike most federal agencies, the CFPB’s budget isn’t provided by congressional appropriations. The structure — the constitutionality of which was upheld by the Supreme Court last year — was meant to insulate it from politics.
Instead, the CFPB is funded via the Federal Reserve.
The CFPB’s annual funding for the 2025 fiscal year is capped at 12% of the operating expenses of the Federal Reserve System. This fixed percentage has been in place since the 2013 fiscal year.
The so-called big beautiful bill that Trump signed into law on July 4 nearly halves that cap, lowering it to 6.5%.

The CFPB’s funding limit, which is adjusted each year for inflation, is $823 million for the 2025 fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, according to the Congressional Research Service. (It has risen from $598 million in 2013.)
With a 6.5% cap, the CFPB’s funding would have been maxed out at $446 million this year, a roughly 46% reduction.

Chi Chi Wu, director of consumer reporting and data advocacy at the National Consumer Law Center, said a slimmer budget would likely mean greater challenges with policing financial firms, especially large institutions.
“It takes a lot of resources to go after the big dogs,” Wu said.
“It was already David and Goliath,” she said. “This just makes the situation worse. Now you have half a David.”
The CFPB didn’t return a request for comment.
Same watchdog duties, less money
The CFPB has three primary functions, Wu said: enforcement of laws on the books; supervising financial firms (kind of like a bank examiner, but with a consumer protection mission); and fielding consumer complaints.
The agency recouped $21 billion in relief for more than 205 million consumers since its inception, according to CFPB data as of Dec. 3.
Over that time it had imposed more than $5 billion of penalties on financial firms and fielded about 7 million consumer complaints, the majority of which were about credit reports, according to agency data.
“The agency is still seemingly going to have the same responsibilities, just with less money to carry them out,” said Eamonn Moran, a financial services attorney at law firm Holland & Knight and former CFPB counsel during the Obama administration.
Senate Republicans had initially sought to cut the CFPB’s budget to zero, a move the Senate parliamentarian deemed a violation of the chamber’s rules.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., chair of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, said in a June 26 statement that reducing the CFPB’s budget cap helps “reduce waste and duplication in financial regulation” without affecting its “statutory functions.”
Rust, of the Consumer Federation of America, questioned whether the CFPB would be able to fulfill its core functions in a “weakened state.”
May not be much difference under Trump
CFPB officials haven’t ever maxed out their annual spending limit, though funding requests generally wax and wane with changing leadership, the Congressional Research Service wrote on June 16.
For example, the largest shortfall was $282 million during the 2018 fiscal year, during Trump’s first term in office, while the lowest was $30 million in 2023 under former President Joe Biden, CRS said.
Some experts say they think a reduced funding amount may not matter much during Trump’s second term.
“It’s not really, in my view, going to be a notable departure from what we’ve seen since the end of January,” Moran said.
For example, acting CFPB Director Russell Vought proposed cutting staff from 1,700 to 200 people, both reducing its budget and possibly agency operations, CRS wrote in June.
That move is currently being weighed in federal court. The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with mass layoffs across government, but said the high court wasn’t expressing its legal views on any specific agency’s cuts. It’s unclear what this means for the CFPB case.
“People aren’t expecting anything big regulatory-wise coming out of the CFPB for the next few years,” Moran said.
However, funding could matter more during future administrations, experts said.
“This is a funding cut that goes beyond the next 3½ years,” Wu said. More
