Alexander Gherko, founder of trading company XTX Markets and one of the UK's largest taxpayers, who renounced his Russian citizenship in 2022, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7385969559133974530/">said </a>in a post on LinkedIn that he is going to challenge the decision of a London court that <a href="https://globalsanctions.com/2025/10/uk-court-judgment-in-equality-act-sanctions-discrimination-case-xtx-v-mazars/?fbclid=IwY2xjawNjFglleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHtamu7Xg68r-3UcrQ7i-gp6oKAy8gvHhaFwmnWFaJq9u7Ct6RH3Jit1Ss9lo_aem_z1U2rIge9SC5bp21FODl8w">dismissed </a>his lawsuit.

Nikolay Storonsky, founder of Revolut, has <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-07/revolut-s-billionaire-ceo-shifts-residence-from-uk-to-mideast">moved to</a> the UAE. One of the richest Britons, whose fortune according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index exceeds $14 billion, took this decision a year ago, in anticipation of a major tax reform, abolishing from 2025 exemptions on foreign income and protection of foreign trusts. The UAE's lenient tax regime could help Storonsky save on taxes, especially if Revolut's IPO takes place, according to experts interviewed by Oninvest. However, the move has some disadvantages - British regulators are closely monitoring the change of residency

The downward revision of the preliminary data on the number of new jobs created in the U.S. economy in the 12 months to March 2025 inclusive, strengthened Wall Street's confidence that the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin a cycle of aggressive rate cuts. The key event this week will be the regulator's meeting, following which it will announce a decision on monetary policy. Despite the fact that US inflation is above the Fed's 2% target, a weakening labor market almost guarantees an interest rate cut at the upcoming meeting, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/fed-meeting-fedex-lennar-bullish-earnings-98fc31b5?mod=RTA#:~:text=But%20it%E2%80%99s%20Fed%20Chairman%20Jerome%20Powell%20and%20the%20FOMC%20that%20will%20take%20center%20stage.%20Despite%20inflation%20running%20above%20the%20Fed%E2%80%99s%202%25%20target%2C%20a%20weakening%20labor%20market%20all%20but%20assures%20an%20interest%2Drate%20cut%20at%20the%20meeting.">according to</a> Barron's.
