Trump: US Secures 'Majority Control' Over Venezuela's Over 65 Billion Barrels of Oil Reserves
On the 28th, US President Donald Trump announced via a social media post that the United States has reached an agreement with Venezuela to gain "majority control" over more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela's proven oil reserves. The two sides are collaborating with private enterprises to secure this majority control, with no costs borne by American taxpayers. Trump stated that the deal "will more than double U.S. oil reserves, significantly boost oil supply, and drastically lower U.S. gasoline prices for a long time to come." However, Trump did not disclose the specific details of the agreement, and the White House has not yet released an official statement on the matter.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller’s hawkish debut at Jackson Hole: He stated there has been no substantial improvement in underlying inflation trends, prompting markets to raise bets on a September interest rate hike.
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh said Friday at the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Symposium that while this summer’s inflation data has come in better than expected, it is insufficient to signal a “meaningful improvement” in underlying inflation trends. The Fed still needs to confirm that inflation will fall to its 2% target at a sufficiently rapid pace, otherwise “there is still work to be done.”
Warsh stressed that taming inflation remains the Fed’s top priority. While he noted the U.S. economy appears to be strengthening, he did not directly hint at the policy decision for the September meeting.
Following his remarks, U.S. Treasury yields climbed, gold prices dropped sharply at one point, and market bets on a Fed rate hike in September rose. CME FedWatch data shows traders now assign a 45.7% probability to a September rate hike, a notable jump from the previous day.

Apple raises subscription prices for Apple TV and Apple One, continuing its service business price hike strategy.
According to CNBC, Apple (AAPL.O) has recently raised prices for its Apple TV streaming service and Apple One bundle subscription plan in the U.S. market. Apple TV’s monthly fee increased from $12.99 to $14.99, while its annual fee rose from $99 to $119. The monthly fee for the individual Apple One package, which includes multiple services such as Apple TV, iCloud, and Apple Music, has also been adjusted from $19.95 to $21.95. Looking back, Apple TV’s monthly fee was only $4.99 when it launched in 2019. With this latest price adjustment, its pricing is gradually approaching that of its major competitors. This marks Apple’s second subscription service price adjustment in the near term. In July this year, Apple raised Apple Music’s monthly fee by $1, citing increased licensing costs.
