Trump digital tax warning clouds $263 billion in goods

Trump’s warning of 100% tariffs on countries with digital taxes brings a $262.8 billion annual goods-import flow from six targeted nations into play. The U.S. digital-tax review already has those countries on its list, and the trade talks now have a much larger number on the table than just the digital-tax bills faced by U.S. tech firms. France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the UK exported $262.8 billion in goods to the U.S. in 2025 and $85.9 billion for the first four months of 2026, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The White House told the U.S. Trade Representative in 2025 to look at renewing Section 301 probes into digital services taxes in the same countries.

Qantas Project Sunrise reward seats push loyalty squeeze to investors

Qantas Airways is using the world’s longest passenger flight to see how few fixed-rate frequent-flyer seats it can offer and still fill the cabin. Qantas’ new Airbus SE A350-1000ULR order is coming with a rewards angle for investors. The jet carries 238 seats: six First suites, 52 Business suites, 40 Premium Economy and 140 Economy seats. That’s 98 up front, so 41.2% of seats are in premium cabins, even before Economy Plus. Qantas plans to open ticket sales in February 2027 for daily non-stops from Sydney to London. The first flights are penciled for October 2027.

Student loan SAVE delay shifts investor focus to $485 billion forbearance pool

Trump’s team is taking longer to push borrowers out of the SAVE student-loan repayment plan, shifting a big part of federal loans back onto staggered repayment. That delays the immediate payment spike for borrowers, but leaves servicers, private lenders and credit investors facing more months of limbo. Scale is the driver here. In March, the Education Department said 7.5 million borrowers were in SAVE. The latest Federal Student Aid update, posted June 23, reported 8.4 million had at least one loan in forbearance as of March 31—covering about $485 billion in federal student loans. These aren’t exact matches, but the SAVE number comes close to nine-tenths of the forbearance total.

The A$0.0535 interim dividend, which brought the offer to A$5.20, only counted for shares held on March 4.

ASX cash trading is open after the weekend, back on regular Monday-to-Friday hours. Worley Limited heads into the new session with shares off 14.9% for the week.
