CBO-Monthly Budget Review: June 2023
July 11, 2023--Summary
The federal budget deficit was $1.4 trillion in the first nine months of fiscal year 2023, the Congressional Budget Office estimates-$875 billion more than the shortfall recorded during the same period last year. Revenues were 11 percent lower and outlays were 10 percent higher from October through June than they were during the same period in fiscal year 2022.
Shifts in the timing of certain payments affect that comparison. Outlays in the first nine months of fiscal year 2023 were increased, on net, by $23 billion as a result of the shifting of certain payments both into and out of that period because the regular payment date fell on a weekend. The larger set of those shifts boosted outlays in June 2023 because July 1 was a Saturday. If not for those timing shifts, the deficit in the first nine months of 2023 would have been smaller- $1,367 billion rather than $1,390 billion.

'Star' fund managers jump into ETF space
July 7, 2023--Investment houses are unleashing their 'brightest and best' to capitalise on rising demand for active ETF strategies
-A battery of "star" fund managers have muscled their way into exchange traded funds for the first time as the in-vogue fund structure expands from its passive, index-tracking roots into actively managed strategies.
Investment houses' rising appetite to unleash their "brightest and best" performers into the ETF world is also recognition that traditional mutual funds are rapidly losing market share, particularly in the US, and that ETFs appear to be the future.
Cryptofinance: BlackRock takes on SEC in bitcoin ETF battle
July 7, 2023--Who would have thought the dry business of filing for an exchange traded fund with the US securities regulator could elicit so much excitement?
The crypto industry has been set alight by some of the US's biggest money managers filing applications in America to create and run spot bitcoin ETFs.
The world's largest asset manager, BlackRock, led the way, and was followed quickly by Fidelity, WisdomTree, VanEck and Invesco, among others.
Having a spot crypto ETF listed in the US, the world's largest investment market and teeming with other ETFs, has become something akin to the industry's Holy Grail. The argument goes that trading bitcoin can be expensive and there are issues such as having to store it as well as its uncertain regulatory status.
