Indeed, it is an economy that may need fewer and fewer humans. Amazon this week announced further job cuts due to robotics and AI. Recently, Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, announced that his company Block would be laying off 40 percent of […]

Co-ops serve about 12% of the U.S. population but operate over 40% of the nation’s power lines.

Identity Politics Trumps Public Safety On The Chicago Transit Authority Authored by George Shay via American Greatness, The Legacy of Jesse Jackson Makes All of Us Less Safe If you ride the trains or buses in Chicago with any regularity, you don’t worry about microaggressions. You worry about being maced, mugged, or shoved onto the tracks—or, in one grotesque recent case, set on fire. That’s the lived experience of Chicagoans navigating the Chicago Transit Authority and Metra. Not academic theory. Not seminar-room sociology. Reality. So naturally, when a modest pilot […]

Goldman's Global Affairs Chief Warns Of Middle East Spillover Threats West Texas Intermediate crude futures spiked as high as $111 a barrel on Sunday evening as the deepening Middle East conflict sent panic through oil markets, with supplies from key Gulf producers going offline and the Strait of Hormuz remaining paralyzed into week two.

That is hard to say, given that U.S. Central […]

NY Fed: Inflation Expectations Dropped To 1 Year Low Ahead Of Iran War Amid Improving Household Finances While the latest NY Fed consumer expectations report shows sentiment from February, and does not account for the surge in oil prices as a result of the Iran war, the trend continues to be supportive which would be good news for the US economy if the current energy price spikes proves to be transitory.  In what was the calm before the Persian Gulf storm, ​Americans’ inflation expectations eased further back in February amid mixed views on the state of the ‌job market […]

Key Events This Week: CPI, PCE, ADP, Durable Goods And More With the Fed in their self-imposed blackout period, the economic data will get a chance to do the talking ahead of the March 18th FOMC meeting. Of particular note will be the inflation data, namely Wednesday’s CPI report for February and Friday’s core PCE reading for January, but there will also be some scattered labor market data to help put context around last Friday’s disappointing February employment report. Of course, all of that assumes that traders can be dragged away from the latest Iran war headlines fro […]

Oil topped $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022. The U.S. shed 92,000 jobs in February. And the Fed meets in nine days. Gold is caught in the crossfire — but the forces driving today's dip may be building tomorrow's case for precious metals.
