Housing market on fire still.
LONDON, June 29 (Reuters) – British house prices jumped by the most in more than 16 years this month when they were 13.4% higher than in June last year and demand is expected to remain strong in the coming months, mortgage lender Nationwide said on Tuesday.
In monthly terms, house prices were 0.7% higher than in May as buyers rushed to take advantage of a tax break offered by finance minister Rishi Sunak.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected prices to rise by 13.7% in annual terms and by 0.7% from May.
"While the strength is partly due to base effects, with June last year unusually weak due to the first lockdown, the market continues to show significant momentum," Nationwide's chief economist Robert Gardner said.
The tax break, introduced last year as part of Sunak's emergency support for the economy during the pandemic, had originally been due to expire at the end of March.
But the first 500,000 pounds ($693,600) of any property purchase in England or Northern Ireland are now due to remain exempt until the end of June, and a 250,000 pound tax-free allowance will run until the end of September.
"Underlying demand is likely to remain solid in the near term as the economy unlocks," Gardner said.
"Consumer confidence has rebounded while borrowing costs remain low. This, combined with a lack of supply on the market, suggests further upward pressure on prices. But as we look toward the end of the year, the outlook is harder to foresee."
OOOuch!
The SEC's complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, charges GIS with violating the broker-dealer registration provisions of Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Gunn with aiding and abetting GIS's violations, and seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties.
Wonder how much the fine will be??

Washington, June 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New Frontier Data
(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=ykWw4_dyujvN34P1024LuKb5TXR7PbJVR-uGiAePxVNcvOoo7UTy3uR7ppB5OAjtXtmqb5OBBhrEeaGSBu4XaHJtM8k-iwyBCvUHKihIahg=)
(https://newfrontierdata.com), the premier data, analytics and technology
firm specializing in the global cannabis industry, in partnership with global
law firm Dentons, releases its latest report, Cannabis in the U.S. 2021
Mid-Year Market Update, providing the most recent market trends and figures
following expanding legalization efforts nationwide as well as the newest
projections for 2021 and beyond.
With 10 newly legalized markets expected to begin sales in 2021 or 2022, New
Frontier Data projects total legal cannabis sales to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 16%, to reach $43 billion by 2025. The study further
reveals that 2020 illicit national cannabis demand and consumption is
estimated to be over $65 billion.
“After close to a decade tracking, analyzing and modeling legal cannabis
market shifts, we continue to see and report with confidence significant
economic opportunities in the U.S., as legal market spending experiences
consistent year-over-year double digit growth,” said Giadha A. DeCarcer,
Founder and Executive Chair of New Frontier Data. “We expect the second half
of 2021 to be especially interesting given market consolidation reaching a
culminating point, and the large investment influx expected to fuel market
growth and expansion.”
Key Report Findings:
* By 2025, 42% of total annual U.S. cannabis demand is projected to be met by
legal purchases in regulated marketplaces, up from 24% in 2020, fueled by both
a continued rise in legal market spending as well as the conversion of
existing illicit market consumer spending to legal regulated sources.
* 141 million Americans, or 43% of the adult population, reside in 18
adult-use states, representing a diverse and widely distributed consumer base
for retailers to segment and target.
* By 2025, 5.4 million Americans, or 2.4% of U.S. adults will be registered
patients in medical cannabis states.
* As of May 2021, capital raises in cannabis have more than tripled, reaching
$6 billion, signaling increased confidence in projected aggressive cannabis
market growth.

OpenRAN on its way.
9 February 2021
ETHERNITY NETWORKS LIMITED
("Ethernity" or the "Company")
Ethernity Networks Delivers ACE-NIC100 to Major Server Vendors
Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET.L), a leading supplier of data processing offload solutions on programmable FPGA (field programmable gate array) hardware for accelerating telco/cloud networks, announces today that, following requests received from three Tier-1 server vendors, it has delivered its 5G Distribution Unit (DU) FPGA implementation on top of its ACE-NIC100 FPGA SmartNIC for telco OpenRAN trials.
The server vendors will evaluate Ethernity's existing DU offering while the Company continues working with them on an upgraded version that will entirely account for the operator's specific NIC requirements within the OpenRAN deployment.
The DU implementation is based on the same ACE-NIC100 hardware, but offers ten 10GE/25GE ports, which is a unique offering compared to the standard two-port NIC card. It is equipped with in-house Sync technology to deliver the required timing to the Radio Unit (RU), as well as support for nine RUs per single DU NIC. Moreover, the DU NIC comes with an option to include complete router functionality, enabling cascading of multiple virtual DUs at a single location. This eliminates the need for an external cell site router, resulting in substantial CAPEX savings for service providers.
The server vendors will focus their efforts with Ethernity to prime an offering to service providers committed to an early rollout of OpenRAN technologies in order to achieve cost savings and world-class services. The Company believes that its Router-on-FPGA-NIC provides a unique offering that is capable of meeting telco operators' 5G DU demands.
The DU testing requests, initiated on recommendation of major European and North American service providers, are in line with telco operators' plans to move to OpenRAN and the increasing demand for Distribution Units, as detailed in the following link: https://ethernitynet.com/market-for-dus-in-openran/.
Ethernity CEO David Levi said: "We are seeing great strides toward the implementation of OpenRAN, along with the continued anticipated demand for FPGA-based virtualized routing and other telecom applications. We are excited by the progress we've achieved and the inroads we've made toward meeting the Company's growth ambitions. We believe that with our available technology and by integrating additional functionality on our existing DU implementation that will result in additional savings for the operators, we will maintain our edge over the other solution providers in this market."
