The Australian share market sees trade end early, as technical problems which delayed the market open continue to plague the ASX.

The value of the pound has jumped after a survey indicated the UK's manufacturing sector rebounded sharply in August. The Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the sector rose to 53.3 in August from July's figure of 48.3. A figure above 50 indicates expansion. The weakening of the pound following the Brexit vote boosted exports, the survey found. However, it also indicated that the weak pound had pushed up firms' costs.

Bitcoin, a Florida judge says, is not real money. Ironically, that could provide a boost to use of the crypto-currency which has remained in the shadows of the financial system. The July 22 ruling by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Teresa Pooler means that no specific license is needed to buy and sell bitcoins.

Brexit sparked a rout in the currencies of eastern Europe. Three weeks on, only Poland’s zloty has yet to heal.

The pound has hit a fresh 31-year low against the dollar as markets remain edgy in the wake of the Brexit vote. At one point it hit $1.3058 against the dollar, the lowest level since September 1985. Against the euro it fell to €1.1703, its lowest since 2013.

There was caution on Wall Street as well, where shares closed lower.

Investors should prepare for the British pound to hit parity with the U.S. dollar by the end of the year or early in 2017, said at least one analyst — and should parity happen, it’ll be a first. After last week’s surprise U.K. vote to exit the European Union trading bloc, sterling fell more than 12% against the dollar on Friday before trimming some of its unprecedented drop late in the U.S. trading day. But bears regained the upper hand on Monday, sending the currency to a fresh 30-year low at $1.3121.

We have sat here for the last 3 years seeing only infrastructure apps like wallets and exchanges emerge on top of Bitcoin. Why is that? My theory has been that the scripting language in Bitcoin — the piece of every Bitcoin transaction that lets you run a little software program along with it — is too restrictive. Enter Ethereum. Ethereum has taken what was a four function calculator of a programming language in Bitcoin and turned it into a full fledged computer.

When banks and businesses around the nation’s capital find counterfeit currency, they send it to the Washington field office of the U.S. Secret Service. One morning in May 2012, agent Adam Gaab entered its inventory room, a space filled with money counters, microscopes, ultraviolet lights, and other tools, and saw that a fresh batch of bills had just arrived. With jet-black hair and a baby face, Gaab, at 28, was one of the younger agents in the Secret Service.
