    US law firms smell opportunity as Supreme Court guts agency powers

    Law firms are capitalizing on client uncertainty sparked by a flurry of new U.S. Supreme Court rulings that favored opponents of federal agency powers, even as lawyers themselves differ on the decisions' immediate and long-term effects. Within hours of the decisions, major U.S. law firms began sending out client-focused emails and webinar invitations to discuss the cases and showcase their expertise, a marketing strategy that often follows major legal developments. Law firms known for challenging federal regulations stand to be particularly busy, but lawyers said it will take time for the new landscape to take shape.

    Morning Bid: New records as jobs scanned, Tesla jumps

    Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell managed to smooth some election-ruffled feathers in bond markets on Tuesday, helping Wall St stocks back to all-time highs as a sweep of labor market soundings are due ahead of the July 4 break. U.S. Treasuries, which had been hit earlier this week by rising bets on Donald Trump's return to the White House and the fiscal implications of his campaign promises, have calmed somewhat since Powell spoke in Portugal on Tuesday. Ten-year yields have slipped back to 4.43% from peaks close to 4.5% set on Monday - when betting markets pushed former President Trump's chances of beating incumbent Joe Biden in November to more than 60% after Biden's dire TV debate performance last week.

    "Failed" Australian corporate watchdog should be spilt in two, senate inquiry finds

    The Australian Securities and Investment Commission's (ASIC) scope was too broad for it to be effective and efficient and the government should consider splitting its functions between a companies regulator and a financial conduct authority, the report said. "It is clear ASIC has failed," said Senator Andrew Bragg, who also chaired the Senate Economics Committee, which delivered the final report after a 20-month long inquiry. The ASIC did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
