1. Fed's Hammack calls for an interest-rate increase
-- Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said now is the time to raise rates, citing inflation that continues to strain household budgets.
-- Her explicit call adds another hawkish voice before Chair Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole address, increasing the risk of tighter financial conditions for rate-sensitive assets.
2. Manchester Airports cyberattack exposes 8.7 million customers
-- Hackers accessed data belonging to about 8.7 million Manchester Airports Group customers and demanded a ransom, according to the BBC and Financial Times.
-- The breach creates identity-fraud and regulatory exposure for Britain's largest airport operator while testing continuity systems across critical travel infrastructure.
3. U.S. trade chief floats bans on some Canadian goods
-- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer suggested Washington should consider banning certain Canadian products, Bloomberg reported, adding a new threat to the bilateral trade dispute.
-- Product bans would move the conflict beyond tariffs and could disrupt tightly integrated North American supply chains before firms have time to source substitutes.
4. Core Scientific secures $600 million in credit
-- Bitcoin miner and data-center operator Core Scientific obtained $600 million in credit facilities to release restricted cash, according to Blockspace Media.
-- The financing gives the company more deployable capital as miners compete for power and infrastructure with AI data centers, but adds leverage to a cyclical business.
5. Tropical Storm Dolly forms east of Leeward Islands
-- Dolly formed in the central Atlantic with 40 mph winds and was moving west at 24 mph, the National Hurricane Center said at 1500 UTC; no coastal watches were in effect.
-- Forecast weakening limits the wind threat, but heavy rain could damage transport infrastructure and cause flash flooding across the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola from late Saturday through Monday.
