x/university-of-california-davis
— 3d
A UC Davis study finds that spending just three minutes with miniature horses and donkeys can quickly improve teens’ mood, reducing loneliness, sadness, and anxiety, with stronger effects when teens notice the animals’ body-language cues and even when the animals walk away. The research emphasizes a two-way interaction, arguing that animals’ active participation helps shape the human benefits and should guide the design of animal-assisted interventions.

Japan's record reserve plunge after yen intervention raises Treasury questions
x/united-states-department-of-the-treasury
— Sep 7, 2026
Japan's August foreign exchange reserves dropped a record $79.6 billion to about $1.208 trillion as the government stepped in to defend the yen, with an August intervention tally of about 15.4 trillion yen. Officials largely funded the move by selling foreign securities, predominantly U.S. Treasuries, fueling market concerns about Treasury supply and prompting analysts to consider strategies for yen-driven volatility.

Dollar Holds Gains as Fed Hike Bets Rise
x/federal-reserve-system
— Sep 10, 2026
The global dollar held near multi‑week highs as oil spikes and U.S. inflation data keep Fed tightening expectations intact, with markets pricing roughly a 70% chance of a September hike and yields rising as energy costs support risk-off demand. At the same time, the ECB signaled a cautious, data‑dependent stance after a rate rise to 2.5% while the yen remained under pressure despite a large, coordinated intervention, underscoring a bifurcated currency backdrop influenced by oil, energy prices, and central-bank policy outlooks.
