Column by University of Hawaiʻi Maui College Chancellor Lui Hokoana was published by The Maui News on September 23, 2023. As we move through our fall semester, we carry on traveling two parallel paths — supporting our students and supporting our community. Although the sadness remains, we acknowledge that planning for the future is part of the recovery process. Even as the environment changes on a nearly daily basis, we strive to meet immediate needs. We have learned the importance of being flexible and know whatever we are able to achieve is a direct result of a tireless UH – MC ʻohana and countless community partners and volunteers.

SINGAPORE – The dollar held its ground on Monday but was still near multi-week lows against some of its major peers as traders were on guard ahead of central bank meetings this week, including the Federal Reserve's where it will announce its rates decision. The U.S. currency was pinned near a one-month low against the British pound and the Aussie in early Asia trade at $1.25805 and $0.6745, respectively, though moves were subdued with most of Australia closed for a holiday. Policy meetings of the Fed, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) will set the tone for the week, as markets seek clues from policymakers on the future path of interest rates.

After decades of delays, short selling is finally coming to town, allowing investors to make two-way bets, hopefully boosting market turnover. But even some of those who are short selling advocates have apprehensions on how the rules are shaping up. One of them is capital market veteran Anton Periquet, a well-esteemed analyst turned investment banker, who is concerned that in trying to err on the side of caution, regulators are writing the framework to be 'too restrictive,' defeating the whole purpose of it.

Payroll jobs rose 0.3 per cent in the month to 10 June 2023, following a 1.1 per cent rise in the previous month, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Bjorn Jarvis, ABS head of labour statistics, said: "We saw a broadly similar pattern in the latest data to that seen last year, with slower growth in payroll jobs between mid-May and mid-June following the recovery from the low around the Easter holiday period." The end of the financial year usually involves a higher degree of reporting variation, as employers finalise their employees' earnings information and the financial year is reset in payrolls.
