Schiff discusses the significant rise in gold prices, which closed at its highest weekly price ever, while other precious metals like silver and platinum also saw a notable increase. He highlights the decline of the US dollar and reveals the consequences of tariff policies, emphasizing the need for listeners to consider precious metals and foreign equities as a hedge against impending economic challenges. Schiff also examines the Fitch downgrade of US government credit, linking it to unsustainable fiscal policies under both Trump and Biden administrations.

Fitch's 2Q25 Risk Headquarters report highlights a worsened risk outlook amid US tariff volatility. David Prowse and Justin Patrie discuss key points from the report, centered around how Trump-era policies continue to elevate investor concerns.

On today's show we are talking about the risk premium being attached to US sovereign debt and how this has the potential to destabilize real estate markets for all US investors. We are accustomed to thinking that the Fed sets the interest rate. But the truth is that the Fed only sets one interest rate. That is the Fed Funds rate that banks use to lend to each other. The downgrade of the US debt by Moody's debt rating agency last Friday was a reflection of the government's persistent failure to adopt measures that would “reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs.” Moody's was the third bond rating agency to downgrade the US sovereign debt after S&P and Fitch downgraded the US debt in August of 2023. It's not the downgrade per se that is the problem. The market makes its own determination and does not just look at what the bond rating agencies have to say.Spending is heading higher, regardless of who is in the White House. The demographic impact on entitlement programs is unavoidable. The population is aging and when the social security program was launched, there were 16.5 people in the workforce for every one person collecting benefits. Today there are 2.71 people in the workforce for every one person collecting benefits. By the mid 2030's, that number is expected to fall to 2.3 people working for every one person collecting. The math doesn't fund the liabilities. The current White House was elected on the promise of the economy and of fiscal responsibility. The latest budget bill that had wound its way through the Congress shows an increase in spending and a widening budget deficit. Despite desires to cut government waste and abuse, the impact seems somewhat muted. The bond market is clearly seeing significant risk to the ballooning US sovereign debt. This week's auction in new US Treasuries did not go well. The appetite for new paper from the US government was muted and the price that was bid for the 30 year was so low that the yield on the 30 year is now above 5%. The 30 year Treasury is a long denomination bond and its yield moves very slowly. To have the price for that bond drop so sharply in a matter of days has definitely rattled markets. ------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

It's Tuesday, May 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Fulani Muslim killed 15 unarmed Nigerian Christians On Saturday, May 17th, armed Fulani Muslim militia opened fire on Agatu Christians in Benue State, Nigeria, killing 15 unarmed men. Throughout that North Central region, the Fulani have also killed 159 Christian residents over the last 40 days, according to TruthNigeria.com.   Pray for Christians in Nigeria, suffering the most severe violence in the world today. Romania turns left after election interference On Sunday, Romania has taken the centrist-left position with the election of a new president named Nicușor Dan. Dan is supportive of Romania's participation in the European Union, and has made moves to approve the homosexual/transgender movement in his country. The more conservative candidate, George-Nicolae Simion, lost the election in a vote of 54% to 46%. Romania is the second largest Eastern European country by population.  The mainstream media is interpreting this election as an international rejection of the Trump agenda.  The back story is that Călin Georgescu, the conservative in the first round of the Romanian presidential election last December, garnered the most votes among the six presidential candidates at that time. After his opponents claimed that Russia had influenced the election through TikTok accounts, Romanian government officials detained Georgescu, canceled that election, and re-set it for May 18th.  Tens of thousands of Romanians protested in the streets back in March. At the time, Elon Musk said, “They just arrested the person who won the most votes in the Romanian presidential election. This is messed up.” Most and least benevolent countries According to this year's Gallup World Happiness Report, the most benevolent countries in the world, judged by donations and volunteer hours, are Indonesia, the United States, Kenya, Gambia, United Arab Emirates, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand. The least benevolent countries are Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco.  Biden announces advanced prostate cancer Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, reports CBS News. On Sunday, President Trump posted on social media that he and First Lady Melania Trump are "saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis." Appearing on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Monday, former Obama health advisor Dr. Zeke Emanuel said the cancer is so advanced, he has had it for many years. SCARBOROUGH: “Doesn't it take some time for prostate cancer to develop to a point where it would spread to the bones?” EMANUEL: “He's had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading.” Dr. Emanuel explained how serious Biden's prostate cancer truly is. EMANUEL: “That Gleason score, that score is from 2 up to 10, and he's at a 9. That means that the cancer doesn't look normal. It looks very abnormal.” Appearing on Fox News with Jesse Waters, talk show host Hugh Hewitt was incredulous. HEWITT: “This is the fourth time, in a little over 100 years, that a Democratic president -- Woodrow Wilson, FDR, John F. Kennedy and now Joe Biden, have hidden crucial details about their health as Commander-in-Chief from the American people. Ronald Reagan did not do that. “And it just astonishes me that in a free republic, we have to worry about our leaders telling us whether they're healthy or not.” Supremes allows Trump to revoke protection for thousands of illegal Venezuelans On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling allowing the Trump administration to deport 350,000 Venezuelans who are presently living in the U.S. on what they call a “humanitarian parole,” reports NBC News. Christian camp sues over foolish transgender mandates The State of Colorado is threatening to shut down a Christian Camp called Idrahaje -- short for “I'd Rather Have Jesus.” The Colorado Department of Early Childhood has refused to grant the camp a religious exemption concerning its transgender policies. This would require the camp to allow boys, pretending to be girls, to sleep, shower, and dress with female campers. The camp has sued the state, with representation from Alliance Defending Freedom. The camp disciples 2,500 to 3,000 students each year with the mission to “win souls to Jesus Christ through the spreading of the Gospel.”  Camp Idrahaje has complied with all regulations until this year when the Colorado government officials released new gender identity rules that became effective on February 14, 2025. 96% of atheists embrace homosexual/transgender agenda The most likely group in America to support the homosexual/transgender agenda are atheists with 96% professing support.  By contrast, 70% of white Evangelical Protestants oppose the lifestyle. Psalm 14:1 describes the atheist this way: "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works.” Mother loses right to disciple daughter Liberty Counsel is defending a mother in the state of Maine who has lost the right to guide the religious upbringing of her 11-year-old girl in a custody case.  This includes taking her daughter to Calvary Chapel services on Sunday.   A state district judge has ruled against the mother, citing “The ‘fear mongering,' paranoia, and anxiety taught by Calvary Chapel has, more likely than not, already had an impact on [the daughter's] childhood development.”   Expert testimony concluded that Calvary Chapel is a cult, the church's pastor a “charismatic” speaker, who spoke “authoritatively” in his messages, and that he asserted his messages were objective truth.   Liberty Counsel is appealing the case to the Maine Supreme Court. They still persecute people who preach about Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 says, “For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.” Housing prices sag Since June 2022, housing prices are sagging in some metro areas around the U.S. — 22.8% in the Austin market, 9.9% in the Phoenix market, 9.2% in the San Francisco market, 9.1% in the San Antonio Market, 7.3% in the Denver market, and 6.7% in the Dallas Market. The Consumer Price Index has also risen about 10% over that period of time. Moody's downgraded America's financial rating And finally, in a year-over-year comparison, the U.S. government is still breaking records for fiscal expenditures running 10% over Fiscal Year 2024. Moody's has downgraded the U.S. as a long-term issuer of bonds by one notch, ending a perfect rating for America over the last 108 years.  No longer does the U.S, government get a Aaa rating, the highest level available. Now, it's an Aa1. Moody's noted that the downgrade "reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns.” The rating organization added that: “Successive U.S. administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs.”   Another independent rating service, named Fitch, downgraded the United States in 2023.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

This is a real head scratcher, wtf is Mississippi AG Lynn Fitch doing by continuing to go after these innocent police officers?

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAmerica stands at a crossroads of political turmoil and economic uncertainty. The Supreme Court has temporarily halted President Trump's controversial attempt to use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for expedited deportations of Venezuelan immigrants, marking a significant setback to his immigration agenda. Though the ruling offers momentary relief, the underlying battle continues across multiple federal courts, highlighting the ongoing tension between executive power and judicial oversight in our democracy.Meanwhile, Republican infighting threatens to derail Trump's legislative priorities as GOP hardliners defy both the former president and House leadership by blocking his self-described "one big, beautiful bill" in a critical committee vote. These conservative holdouts demand deeper cuts to Medicaid and clean energy programs, creating a political headache for Speaker Mike Johnson who must somehow appease the right wing without alienating moderates whose support is equally crucial. The rebellion exposes the fragility of Republican unity despite Trump's dominance over the party.Perhaps most concerning for everyday Americans, Moody's Ratings has downgraded the United States' debt, stripping the country of its last perfect credit rating after maintaining AAA status since 1917. This downgrade, following similar moves by S&P and Fitch in previous years, reflects growing alarm about America's ballooning deficits and political dysfunction. The timing couldn't be worse, as Trump's proposed legislative package would add approximately $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, potentially increasing borrowing costs for everything from mortgages to car loans. Amid this political and economic turbulence, scientific research offers an unexpected respite—Japanese gardens specifically designed to encourage wandering gazes have been shown to reduce stress and improve mood, a small but welcome reminder that solutions to our modern anxieties might be found in ancient wisdom.Join me each episode as I navigate these challenging times. Share your thoughts at  resistdonaldnow@gmail.com, and help keep our democratic conversation alive during a world gone mad. AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

S&P Futures are weakening this morning in a reaction to Moody's lowering its credit rating on the U.S after markets closed on Friday. The downgrade was not unexpected as Fitch and S&P have already lowered their ratings. President Trump's sweeping tax-cut bill advanced through the House Budget Committee on Sunday night, overcoming a major hurdle after days of internal Republican disputes. Also, President Trump is scheduled to hold a call today with Russian President Putin today at 10:00 am to discuss a path forward to end hostilities with Ukraine. The key economic event in the week ahead will be the release of S&P Global manufacturing and services PMIs, along with data on existing and new home sales. Upcoming earnings reports from Target, Home Depot, and Lowe's will be closely watched for how these major retailers are adapting to the evolving tariff landscape and broader economic headwinds.

Derek Moore reflects on market reaction to the 2011 US debt downgrade and explains what S&P, Fitch, and Moody's have for ratings. Plus, are markets poised for more positive returns based on several indicators? The bear case against the markets would be a reduction in profit margins. Later, Derek reviews some data of future 12-month returns when consumer confidence is low as a contrarian indicator.

From global macroeconomic trends to sovereign credit developments to regulatory and political changes, Fitch's Fixed Interests podcast delivers the analyst insights and updates you need to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Eugenio Garibay analizan a fondo el reciente aumento en los rendimientos de los bonos del Tesoro estadounidense y el impacto de la histórica rebaja de calificación crediticia por parte de Moody's. El equipo explora cómo las crecientes expectativas de inflación, impulsadas por la política arancelaria y la alarmante acumulación de deuda pública en Estados Unidos, están presionando al alza las tasas de interés y generando incertidumbre en los mercados financieros.Además, revisan el contexto y las consecuencias de la decisión de Moody's, comparándola con las rebajas previas de S&P en 2011 y Fitch en 2023, y discuten cómo reaccionaron los mercados en cada ocasión. El episodio ofrece datos clave, análisis de expertos y reflexiones sobre lo que estos eventos significan para la economía global, el futuro de la deuda estadounidense y las oportunidades y riesgos para los inversionistas.

All foreign investors combined, from central banks to private investors, increased their holdings of Treasury securities by $233 billion in March from February, and by $942 billion over the past 12 months, to a record $9.05 trillion (red in the chart). The majority of what they bought were long-term Treasury securities, which increased by $133 billion to a record $7.63 trillion, according to data by the Treasury Department Friday afternoon (blue in the chart). The buying was across the major holders, except for China and Hong Kong combined, and for Ireland. Of particular note: Canada's holdings of Treasury securities spiked majestically in February and March, despite the tariffs and the ultra-sour mood in Canada about US-anything. Increases in March, and total Treasury holdings: United Kingdom: +$29 billion, to $779 billion Luxembourg: unchanged, at $412 billion Cayman Islands: +$37 billion to $455 billion Ireland: -10 billion to $329 billion Belgium: +$7 billion to $402 billion Switzerland: +$21 billion to $312 billion.   Source: wolfstreet.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1923470842089902157 Moody's downgrade of US rating may not dent stock markets much: Analysts Global financial markets may not react much to Moody's Ratings downgrade of United States' rating from AAA to Aa1, believe analysts, except for a knee-jerk reaction, if any. At the domestic level, Indian stock markets would be focussed more developments such as progress of monsoon, corporate results and economic data. Talks on tariff-related issues with the US will also impact sentiment.   Moody's downgrade, they said, was more to get the rating in sync with Fitch and S&P, who have already downgraded US' ratings. While Fitch had downgraded the rating to AA+ from AAA in August 2023, S&P had lowered US' rating back in August 2011.  Source: business-standard.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1923496054017708041   The ‘Big,

As Gen Z cements its role as the cultural vanguard and Gen Alpha begins to assert its voice, brands face mounting pressure to not only keep pace but to actively shape youth identity. With social commerce booming and physical retail undergoing reinvention, staying relevant means delivering experiences as dynamic as the customers themselves. One stat alone says it all: after Kendrick Lamar sparked a flare jeans frenzy, American Eagle saw a 125% spike in Google searches and 25% more store traffic in just days.So how does a legacy retailer like American Eagle Outfitters keep its edge with a generation that swipes faster than it shops? And what does it take to not only follow culture—but lead it?On this episode of Retail Refined, host Melissa Gonzalez sits down with Craig Brommers, Chief Marketing Officer at American Eagle, for a deep dive into loyalty, culture, and the art of speaking to multiple generations at once. From TikTok virality to in-store innovation, Craig shares how American Eagle is turning its 50-year playbook into a blueprint for the next era of retail.Key topics of discussion…How American Eagle uses feedback loops—from 35,000 Gen Z store associates to a 2,000-person youth panel—to track trends in real time and adjust marketing and product strategies accordingly.Why the “Lived In” store concept is the most successful in American Eagle's 48-year history, blending elevated design with community-driven experiences to drive conversion and loyalty.The launch of the “Live Your Life” affiliate program, a bid to transform creators into digital store associates and cement deeper bonds with youth consumers in the social commerce age.Craig Brommers is a seasoned global marketing executive with deep expertise in brand expansion across geographic, digital, and category dimensions. He has led marketing at top retail brands including American Eagle, Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein, and Speedo, consistently driving growth through purpose-driven strategies and a strong command of data-informed decision-making. An MBA graduate from UCLA's Anderson School, Craig is known for building high-performing, cross-functional teams and balancing global consistency with local market relevance.

For nearly ten years, Kevin Ingram knocked on S&P's door, arguing that FM's A‑plus rating undervalued its balance sheet. Other agencies, such as Fitch, already had the mutual insurer at AA. Each visit, Ingram presented fresh data; each time, the agency hesitated, wary of revising a long‑standing mark. Last summer, six months after FM dropped “Global” from its name, S&P finally moved, lifting the company to AA‑minus—a hard‑won validation.Throughout the campaign, Ingram stressed a core belief: “capital is our product.” By capital, he means policyholders' surplus—the net assets that back every policy. That surplus, he tells us, doubled from $12 billion in 2014 to $26 billion today, even as insured exposure expanded far more modestly. The widening cushion lets FM keep more risk on its own books, ride out catastrophe swings, and focus on clients committed to engineering‑led resilience instead of chasing marginal premium growth.That discipline took shape after the 2017‑18 catastrophe losses, when Ingram led a rigorous re‑underwriting that bolstered profitability and reserves. Drawing on decades of loss data and hundreds of engineer‑captured risk points, his team now deploys AI models to rank mitigation projects for FM's 1,600 core policyholders. Those accounts generate over $8 billion of the company's $11.2 billion (gross operating) revenue.

Alors que l'Europe cherche à affirmer son indépendance technologique face aux géants américains, le groupe Eutelsat, spécialiste des télécommunications par satellite, s'apprête à changer de direction. Un nouveau dirigeant prendra bientôt les rênes de l'entreprise avec un objectif ambitieux: garantir la souveraineté numérique du continent. Décryptage. Née de la fusion entre la société française Eutelsat et la Britannique OneWeb en 2023, l'entreprise est aujourd'hui un acteur central dans le domaine des télécommunications spatiales. Elle dispose de plus de 600 satellites en orbite basse et de 35 en orbite géostationnaire. L'objectif: permettre l'accès à un réseau numérique, internet ou téléphonique, via l'espace.Mais dans ce secteur stratégique, difficile d'ignorer la présence écrasante de Starlink, la constellation de satellites du milliardaire américain Elon Musk. Elle compte déjà 7 000 satellites, soit dix fois plus qu'Eutelsat. Malgré cet écart, le groupe européen reste un acteur sérieux, capable de rivaliser, à condition de relever plusieurs défis majeurs.À lire aussiL'Europe affine sa stratégie pour retrouver le chemin de l'espaceUn redressement financier nécessaire pour affronter la concurrenceLe nouveau dirigeant aura une mission délicate, remettre Eutelsat sur les rails d'une stabilité financière. Le groupe affiche une dette de 2,7 milliards d'euros, aggravée par la fusion avec OneWeb. En parallèle, il doit investir plus de 4 milliards d'euros pour moderniser sa flotte de satellites et participer au projet IRIS², l'équivalent européen de Starlink, prévu pour 2030 avec 288 satellites supplémentaires. Pour faire face, Eutelsat a déjà vendu certains actifs et réduit ses investissements annuels. Pourtant, les agences de notation, comme Fitch, s'inquiètent de la solidité financière de l'entreprise, ce qui met davantage de pression sur sa stratégie de développement.Une alternative crédible mais des défis techniques et économiquesEutelsat est aujourd'hui le seul acteur européen capable de proposer une véritable alternative à Starlink, que ce soit pour les particuliers, les entreprises ou même les armées. Mais pour rester compétitif, il faudra aussi baisser les coûts. Là où un terminal Starlink coûte environ 589 dollars, celui d'Eutelsat est estimé à 10 000 dollars. Et la compétition ne fait que commencer. Amazon vient d'entrer dans la course avec sa constellation Kuiper, dont les premiers satellites ont été mis en orbite la semaine dernière. La Chine, elle aussi, accélère ses projets spatiaux.Si l'Europe veut préserver sa souveraineté numérique, elle devra investir massivement dans ces technologies stratégiques et soutenir des acteurs comme Eutelsat, qui incarnent l'avenir de l'indépendance technologique du continent.

Olu Sonola, Chief US Economist, and Sarah Repucci, Senior Director, Credit Commentary and Research, delve into Fitch's latest US Cross-Sector Housing Monitor, discussing the US housing outlook and risks from tariffs, labor costs and lower sentiment.

La Cina risponde ai dazi di Trump portando le sue tariffe sui beni Made in Usa dal 34% all'84% con effetto dalle ore 12:01 del 10 aprile 2025. Altre questioni, riferisce una nota del ministero delle Finanze, saranno implementate. Pechino esorta gli Stati Uniti a correggere immediatamente le proprie pratiche sbagliate, ad annullare tutte le misure tariffarie unilaterali contro la Cina e a risolvere adeguatamente le divergenze con la Cina attraverso un dialogo paritario basato sul rispetto reciproco. La decisione arriva dopo che Trump ieri ha portato i dazi verso Pechino al 104%. La Cina, il principale rivale economico e strategico Usa ma anche un importante partner commerciale, è la più colpita con aliquote aggregate salite al 104%, frutto del 20% precedentemente imposto, di un ulteriore 34% e di un aumento dell'ultimo minuto del 50% firmato da Trump ieri sera in risposta ai dazi che Pechino aveva portato al 34%. Allinearsi con la Cina sul commercio è "come tagliarsi la gola". Lo ha detto il segretario al Tesoro Scott Bessent, sottolineando che i Paesi che non reagiranno ai nuovi dazi del Presidente Donald Trump non dovranno affrontare tassi più elevati. "Penso che quello che molti non capiscono è che i livelli stabiliti mercoledì scorso rappresentano un limite massimo se non si reagisce", ha spiegato. Bessent ha messo in evidenza che sarebbe "suicida" per gli altri Paesi avvicinarsi alla Cina in termini commerciali nel tentativo di compensare gli effetti dei dazi statunitensi. "Sarebbe un suicidio", ha detto. La Cina non fa altro che "produrre e produrre" e "inondare" i mercati globali abbassando i prezzi, ha osservato. Interviene in trasmissione Fabio Scacciavillani, economista, editorialista Sole24 Ore.Dazi: 25 miliardi di aiuti alle imprese italianeLa rimodulazione del Pnrr su cui il governo è al lavoro da settimane entra in pieno nella partita delle potenziali contromisure ai dazi americani. Lo fa per inevitabili ragioni di calendario e per il fatto che dai fondi europei di Next Generation Eu e dalla Coesione passano le uniche leve azionabili dal governo per costruire un impalcatura di sostegno ai settori più colpiti. In gioco, come ha spiegato ieri la premier Giorgia Meloni incontrando le categorie produttive, ci possono essere fino a 25 miliardi, divisi tra i 14 recuperabili dal Pnrr e gli 11 dalla Coesione. Attenzione, però non si tratta di nuove politiche elaborate sul momento per riconoscere aiuti pubblici alle aziende esportatrici, ma dell adattamento in corsa di un lavoro di un riassetto del Pnrr reso inevitabile dai ritardi attuativi che mettono a rischio una quota dei fondi comunitari. È il caso prima di tutto di Transizione 5.0, fermo sinora a prenotazioni per 664 milioni su 6,23 miliardi: l idea già ampiamente maturata prima dell emergenza dazi (si veda Il Sole 24 Ore del 7 marzo) è quella di convogliare una quota consistente tra 3,5 e 4 miliardi non su sussidi o contributi a fondo perduto ma su contratti di sviluppo che finanzino gli investimenti in filiere produttive considerate strategiche.Ai tavoli, per strappare flessibilità, l esecutivo conta di presentarsi forte della «rinnovata credibilità italiana» riflessa nella conferma arrivata da Fitch del rating BBB con outlook positivo, rivendicata dalla premier insieme al primato in Europa nel numero di milestone e target Pnrr raggiunti e nel debito riavvicinatosi ai livelli pre-pandemici in tempi molto più rapidi rispetto alle previsioni di pochi anni fa. Anche l operazione che il governo ipotizza sui fondi di coesione è in realtà allo studio da alcuni mesi, anche se ora tornerà utile nel confezionamento del piano anti-dazi. Potrebbe trattarsi semplicemente della revisione di medio termine della programmazione dei fondi Ue 2021-2017 che, previa intesa con la Commissione, consentirà di tarare meglio su imprese e occupazione, presentando a quel punto le modifiche in chiave anti-dazi , innanzitutto due Programmi nazionali: il Pn Giovani, donne e lavoro, e il Pn Ricerca e competitività per la transizione digitale, che insieme arrivano a poco meno di 11 miliardi, la quota indicata da Meloni. La terza fonte alla quale il governo vorrebbe attingere è il Piano sociale per il clima, lo strumento che l Italia è chiamata a predisporre sulla scia di quanto stabilito dall Europa nel regolamento 2023/955 - con il quale è stato istituito il Fondo sociale per il clima per favorire una transizione equa verso la neutralità climatica - e che però è destinato solo alle categorie dichiarate vulnerabili. Gianni Trovati, del Sole 24 Ore.Salone del mobile 2025 fra incertezze e daziIl Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025, inaugurato l 8 aprile a Fiera Milano Rho e in programma fino a domenica 13 Aprile si conferma ancora una volta appuntamento cruciale per l intera filiera dell arredo-design. Ma quest anno, più che in passato, la manifestazione si carica di significati economici e politici importanti. L evento si apre infatti in uno scenario segnato da luci e ombre: da un lato, segnali positivi di ripresa; dall altro, l'incertezza internazionale acuita dai nuovi dazi imposti dagli Stati Uniti, che hanno gettato molte aziende italiane in particolare quelle che hanno investito nel mercato americano in una situazione di grande instabilità. «E pensare che gennaio si era aperto con una ripresa robusta della produzione: +7,8% per il settore dell arredamento (+7,9% per quello del legno) rispetto a gennaio 2024», ha commentato Claudio Feltrin, presidente di FederlegnoArredo, durante l inaugurazione. «Certo, un mese non basta per delineare una tendenza, ma era un segnale incoraggiante che, dopo un anno difficile come il 2024, confermava la nostra idea che il 2025 potesse rappresentare l anno della ripartenza.» Anche le esportazioni di mobili, che valgono circa 14,4 miliardi di euro sui 27,5 complessivi della filiera, avevano registrato dati incoraggianti: +4% a gennaio, con un forte recupero nell Unione Europea (+5,9%), nel Regno Unito (+8,1%) e nei Paesi del Mercosur (+39,9%). In calo, invece, USA (-2,7%) e Cina (-1,7%), segnali che hanno trovato conferma nella recente introduzione dei dazi americani che, inevitabilmente, sono diventati protagonisti scomodi anche tra i padiglioni affollati del Salone. Ne parliamo proprio con Maria Porro Presidente del Salone del Mobile.
