(INFLATION DATA MAY SET THE TONE THIS WEEK)

 

September 10, 2025

 

Hello everyone

 

Inflation data is due out this week.  If it’s hotter than expected, the market could have a temporary heart attack.

Here are some projections from JP Morgan:

 

 

Oracle surges to the upside after earnings announcement.

The company reported an earnings and revenue miss, but what got analysts’ attention was Oracle’s forward-looking numbers and a huge growth trajectory that the company now sees thanks to its booming cloud infrastructure business and a host of new artificial intelligence deals.

Oracle sees it cloud infrastructure revenue climbing to $144 billion over the next four years, up from $18 billion this fiscal year.  That’s quite a jump.

Oracle’s shares were sitting at $310 in extended trading after their earnings announcement.  Shares are set to jump when the market opens on Wednesday.  The stock is sitting at $315 in pre-market trading this evening.

It seems that Oracle sets itself apart from its competitors by the way it deals with the property that houses data centres.  The company’s specialty is the unique technology, networking, and storage, and the way these systems are put together.

 

Easyjet founder launches crypto app

Easybitcoin.app will allow users to buy, hold, and sell bitcoin, as well as earn rewards on their balances.

EasyGroup, founded by Sir Stelios Jaji-Ioannou in 1998, owns the ‘Easy’ brand, which is licensed to the likes of Easyjet, which Haji-Ioannou founded and still owns a stake in.

The firm’s move into the crypto market comes after its research found that almost half of Americans, some 49 per cent, said bitcoin is difficult to buy, hold and sell, as a result of complex crypto platforms which Easygroup says are designed for sophisticated traders.

The new platform is powered by Uphold, an on-chain finance infrastructure provider.

It is currently only available in the US and is set to make its way to the UK later this year.

The easybitcoin.app is aiming to make the process of buying Bitcoin very simple.  Just by using your mobile phone and an app, its focus is also to provide great value and a focus on earning bitcoin rewards, whether you are buying or simply holding bitcoin.

The app’s appeal seems to be the fact that the company is paying out rewards in bitcoin on USD balances.  This may be a drawcard to that segment of the population that is aware of Bitcoin but has not yet invested in crypto.

The firm also states that it will pay out 4.5 per cent interest on all USD balances held on the platform, with the interest paid out in bitcoin.

On balances of less than $10, the app will pay a two percent rate.  The firm said bitcoin can be transferred into USD.

In the US, balances will be protected up to $2.5 million under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The firm’s vision is not just about technology; it’s also about financial empowerment and making bitcoin a practical investment option for all.

This is for your information and to show you what is taking place in the crypto space.  It is not a recommendation that you download the app and invest in Bitcoin.

 

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

At least 25,000 IDs (principally drivers’ licences) have been lost in the Australia Post mail system in the 2024/2025 period.

Over 3,000 passports have been lost in the postal system since 2022.

Many fall into criminal hands and are used for nefarious purposes; owners of these identity documents can learn that they have had their identity stolen.

Please be vigilant.
