For the July-September 2025 quarter, the Treasury now expects to borrow <strong>$1.007 trillion<\/strong> in privately-held net marketable debt. This figure represents a substantial <strong>$453 billion<\/strong> increase from the <strong>$554 billion<\/strong> estimate provided in April 2025. The upward revision is primarily attributed to a lower beginning-of-quarter cash balance and projected lower net cash flows. The Treasury aims to maintain an end-of-September cash balance of <strong>$850 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the <strong>U.S. Treasury<\/strong> also anticipates borrowing <strong>$590 billion<\/strong> in privately-held net marketable debt during the October-December 2025 quarter. The projected end-of-December cash balance for this period is also set at <strong>$850 billion<\/strong>. These borrowing plans were detailed in the Economy Statement for the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n<p>In retail news, <strong>H&amp;M<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/HNNMY\">HNNMY<\/a>) is making its highly anticipated debut in the Brazilian market. The company announced that its first store will open on <strong>August 23<\/strong> at Shopping Mall Iguatemi in S\u00e3o Paulo. This expansion into Brazil has been a strategic move for the Swedish multinational, which has been growing its presence across Latin America since 2012. The company plans to offer a mix of locally manufactured and imported products, aiming to appeal to a wide range of Brazilian consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the artificial intelligence landscape is seeing adjustments in service access. <strong>Anthropic<\/strong>, the developer behind the <strong>Claude<\/strong> AI models, will implement new weekly rate limits for its <strong>Claude Pro<\/strong> and <strong>Max<\/strong> subscription tiers. These new limits are expected to take effect in late August. The announcement follows previous reports of users, particularly those on the premium <strong>Max<\/strong> plan, experiencing unannounced usage restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>On the geopolitical front, Israeli Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong> engaged in a phone conversation with Russian President <strong>Vladimir Putin<\/strong>. According to Netanyahu&#39;s office, the discussions focused on the critical issue of <strong>Iran<\/strong>. The Kremlin also confirmed the call, stating that the leaders discussed various aspects of the tense situation in the Middle East, with Putin emphasizing the importance of upholding Syria&#39;s sovereignty and territorial integrity and reiterating Russia&#39;s readiness to assist in negotiating a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key
