Newsom weighs special session after wildfire liability plan stalls
x/gavin-newsom
— Sep 1, 2026
California lawmakers adjourned without passing a major overhaul of wildfire liability, even as Gov. Newsom floated a possible special session and investors reacted to the volatility surrounding utility companies. The proposed package aimed to curb costs for survivors by limiting certain utility liabilities and attorney fees, but critics say it falls short of meaningful reform and insurers remain wary.

If insurers still won't budge after this "reform," maybe it wasn't much of a reform to begin with.
Chemours, DuPont, Corteva Agree $455 Million PFAS Settlement
x/north-carolina
— 1d
DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva agreed to a $455 million settlement with North Carolina and 11 local entities over PFAS discharges from the Fayetteville Works facility, with payments spreading over 15 years and Chemours roughly responsible for $180 million of the total on a net present value basis, funded by existing accruals. The deal also outlines ongoing obligations such as drinking-water programs, escrow funding, and liability clarity to support continued operations at Fayetteville Works.

This settlement shows the companies are taking responsibility for the Fayetteville pollution, but the payments need to deliver real water cleanup without delays.
Norsemont Plans Restatement of 2025, 2026 Financials
Finance
— Aug 29, 2026
Norsemont Mining plans restatements of its 2025 annual and 2026 Q1 financials to reclassify convertible debentures and related derivative liabilities from non-current to current, increasing current liabilities by about $15.2 million at 2025-end and $22.9 million at March 31, 2026, and to include royalty disclosures. Management says the restatements affect presentation and disclosures rather than total liabilities, equity, losses or cash flows, with the 2025 debentures issued in December 2025 on a three-year maturity.

— Aug 17, 2026

Chinese banks offer dollar deposits near 4% while boosting Treasury purchases
x/people-s-republic-of-china
— Sep 4, 2026
Chinese banks have begun offering dollar deposits above 3% (and up to about 4% at smaller or foreign lenders) and are recycling those dollars into U.S. Treasuries, a move aimed at balancing liabilities with safe assets as Chinese yields lag behind. The pattern signals onshore dollar scarcity driving a front-end Treasury bid and could dampen yuan strength, though the overall impact on Treasury yields remains uncertain.

Front-end Treasury demand from an unexpected source, but I doubt this alone moves yields much given the size of the overall market.
