The ghost of scandals past has returned to haunt the Millionaire's Factory. Just a week ago, the corporate regulator slapped down Macquarie Bank's management for repeatedly breaching its reporting obligations for at least a decade and ignoring suspicious trades in the electricity futures market.

By Ian Verrender The insults and assaults may be global but, increasingly, Donald Trump's war against everyone is being whittled down to a fight for dominance between America and its main rival, China. It is a war neither side can win. It's more a question as to the amount of pain either country can endure and which will emerge with the least damage. While the odds should be stacked against China, given its spluttering economy, America is in the throes of tearing itself apart.

Stock investors may have sunk into a collective stupor, mesmerised by Donald Trump's recent sleight of hand on tariffs. But central bankers including our own Michele Bullock are treading more warily.
