China just hit another record, though not the kind officials want to talk about. Not record growth. Not record confidence. Not record consumer spending. A record decline in household borrowing. Chinese households are not just borrowing less. They are pulling back at a pace we have not seen before in comparable data. And that is the real warning because this is exactly where China's worsening downturn becomes much harder to explain away.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Webinar June 2026: Why Smart Investors Keep Missing Every Major Economic Turning PointIt isn't that they're buying the wrong assets.

The World Cup is delivering, and not just on the pitch. This week we start with a genuine feel-good moment: cross-cultural chaos and connection across North America, from Cape Verde stunning Spain in Atlanta to a German tourist discovering Helen, GA and a Japanese visitor writing a love letter to free chips and salsa. Sometimes the world is actually kind of great. Then we get into it. AI is officially the number one reason people are losing their jobs in 2026. We dig into the 2026 International AI Safety Report, which finds that AI is impressive in some areas and genuinely concerning in others. These tools might be making us worse at the very things we're supposed to be getting better at. We also get into AI and grade inflation — a new Berkeley study finds professors in writing- and coding-heavy courses are handing out significantly more A's post-ChatGPT. And Pam weighs in from a journalism angle on what AI can and can't do for freelancers, and we get honest about the tasks we've tried to hand off to AI that just... made more work. And in this week's installment of After Dark, it's the AI Honesty Corner: we asked our AI platforms to profile us, roast us, and name our blind spots. The accuracy was mixed, occasionally devastating, and in at least one case, deeply funny. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rep. Nick Begich, R-Alaska, reached Congress by an unusual route: founding software companies and holding Bitcoin since 2013. BPI's David Zell sat down with him at PubKey to talk about how a builder's instincts shape the way he legislates, his bill to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S., and the policy questions AI is raising faster than Washington can answer.The conversation covers everything from Begich's 440 coins on Mt. Gox to the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA). They dive into the ~93-year cycle of global reserve currencies, the "untethering" of money from scarcity, and Begich's belief that AI's hardest problem is the "disintermediation of purpose" rather than unemployment. They close on UBI, Alaska's Permanent Fund as a model of citizen ownership, and what's next for the budget and healthcare.Guest: Rep.

A new era at the Federal Reserve has officially begun. In today's special episode, I'm joined by veteran bond trader William Addiss to break down the first official FOMC announcement under new Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh. This wasn't just another Fed meeting. It was the market's first real glimpse into how Warsh intends to lead the Federal Reserve, and investors everywhere are trying to decipher what it means for interest rates, inflation, bonds, stocks, and the broader economy. We'll discuss: The latest interest rate decision Changes to Fed projections and guidance How Kevin Warsh's approach differs from previous leadership What the bond market is signaling right now Whether investors should expect a new policy direction As one of the most experienced bond traders I know, Bill Addiss brings a unique perspective to the discussion, helping separate market noise from what truly matters. We'll also dive into the potential impacts on: Treasury yields Equity markets Housing Commodities Digital assets Long-term investment portfolios Because when the Federal Reserve changes course... every asset class feels the effects. This episode is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand where monetary policy may be headed and how to position themselves accordingly. Listen now:

Most people think they understand the dollar. When the dollar goes up, they think that means America is strong. Good economy. Good policy. Maybe the Federal Reserve is doing a good job and investors are “choosing America.” And when the dollar goes down, they think that must be bad. Inflation. Debasement. Money printing. The end of dollar dominance and the famous “dollar doom” story. But what if those are completely backwards?Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Inflation is back at 4.2%, the Fed is suddenly looking less “patient” and more “are we doing this again?," mortgage rates are flirting with the wrong side of uncomfortable, and the bond market is basically standing in the corner whispering, “I told you so.” In this episode, Chris, Saied and Rajeil break down the latest CPI print, why 7% mortgage rates may not be off the table, how today's inflation setup is starting to rhyme a little too hard with the 1970s, and why the market is still partying like AI, SpaceX, and IPO hype can solve every macro problem. Spoiler: they cannot. Also, somehow, we get from Fed policy to stolen oil tankers, WWE nostalgia, ear holes, and anonymous bags of dicks. Welcome back to The Higher Standard.

Episode 304 reunites The Analysts — Remarkable Retail's celebrated panel of Forrester's Sucharita Kodali, Guggenheim's Simeon Siegel, and GlobalData's Neil Saunders — to take stock of retail coming out of earnings season. Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open on the paradox of 2026: results are largely strong, sentiment is dismal. Simeon argues the link between the two is "tenuous at best" — people talk one way and spend another. Neil has the data: roughly 60% of shoppers who expect the economy to worsen still spent more than a year ago, propped up by spring tax refunds that won't repeat. Then the K-shaped economy. Higher-income households drive most of the real volume growth; middle-income shoppers prop up value growth mainly because prices are higher. Sucharita revisits "peak ambiguity" and the "vibe session," noting record sales barely outrun stubborn inflation. The panel unpacks the standouts — Ross's 17% comp, Victoria's Secret up 15% — and debates GLP-1's role in surging apparel and beauty: wardrobe replacement, new confidence, trading up to statement pieces. On turnarounds, Simeon lands the episode's sharpest thesis: brands "ubiquitize" and peak around $3–4 billion in the US. Lululemon got too big, over-distributed, and over-earning — so the bad sales have to "walk out the door" before the brand can re-elevate, the same lens that frames Nike's long reset. He and Sucharita draw the Gap parallel ahead of Simeon's on-stage interview with Mickey Drexler, noting Old Navy now dwarfs Gap itself. Neil makes the case for Macy's under Tony Spring — basics fixed first, satisfaction and visitation improving — while Steve stays skeptical of the pace. Next, the DTC reckoning. Simeon reframes his old "DTC is not all it's cracked up to be" call as "anti-anti-wholesale": outside high-margin luxury, nearly every brand needs a healthy wholesale business — and stores remain the best channel because "the customer is your employee." Sucharita pushes back on the AI narrative, reminding everyone it's far more than generative hype, as the panel digs into why scaled players — Amazon, Walmart, Costco, off-price — keep compounding through retail media, marketplaces, and flywheel economics. It closes on the wealth effect, trillion-dollar market caps, and whether a market correction could rattle high-end spending — then rapid-fire hot takes: brands to watch (Cozey, Ross Stores, Goyard) and what's on each analyst's radar, from inflation and surging oil prices to a quiet "middle of the doughnut" news lull and an election year's hunt for stability.

When inflation surges, the first thing on the government's agenda is for the Federal Reserve to try to force up interest rates. However, as Frank Shostak writes, that might not be the best strategy.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/raising-interest-rates-does-not-counter-inflation

America's debt continues to climb, inflation remains a threat to household budgets, and millions of Americans are approaching retirement without a plan. In this episode of Two Mikes, financial strategist Joel Lombardi, founder of Ironhawk Financial, joins Dr. Michael Scheuer and Colonel Mike to discuss wealth preservation, retirement planning, inflation, estate planning, long-term care protection, taxes, government spending, and the growing financial challenges facing American families. The conversation explores America's debt crisis, the declining purchasing power of the dollar, rising energy costs, geopolitical instability, and why many Americans remain financially vulnerable despite decades of saving and investing. Lombardi explains how wealthy families use financial planning tools to protect assets, reduce risk, preserve generational wealth, and prepare for uncertain economic conditions. He also discusses common mistakes retirees make, the risks facing traditional retirement accounts, and the importance of planning before a crisis occurs.

Professor of Applied Economics at The Johns Hopkins University, Steve Hanke, joins the program to discuss the current economic reality facing the United States.  What began as a discussion on inflation, economic policy, and the direction of the U.S. economy evolved into a much broader and at times tense debate between Sarah and Hanke — one that reflects a growing divide between academia and real-world systems thinking.While Sarah deeply respects education, research, and expertise, she challenges the limitations of highly siloed institutional models that often dismiss broader systems analysis, incentive structures, and real-world complexity. Hanke, coming from one of the world's most revered academic institutions, holds strong conviction in his own economic frameworks and appears far less open to questioning alternative models or interdisciplinary perspectives.The result is a fascinating and revealing conversation that goes beyond economics itself and touches on:institutional authority,academia versus industry,systems thinking,intellectual hierarchy,and the growing tension between credentialed expertise and broader integrated analysis in an AI-driven world.Whether viewers agree with either side or not, this conversation captures a much larger societal shift now unfolding across institutions, media, economics, and public discourse.Visit Steve Hanke's website at SteveHanke.comSign up for the Deep Dive Peptide Webinar at SarahWestall.com/Peptides - Link to the Replay will be postedSee exclusives at SarahWestall.Substack.com

Nationwide Mutual's Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Kathy Bostjancic says the Fed may be approaching a neutral stance, but inflation is expected to remain above the 2% target through year-end. She sees the Fed holding steady for now, with rate cuts likely pushed into next year, while noting that reduced Fed communication could spark volatility even as the labor market and AI investment signal underlying economic strength.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Thierry Wizman of Macquarie Group breaks down the forces keeping yields elevated and how a potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could ease oil supply concerns. He argues that A.I.-driven demand across electricity, construction, and labor will keep inflation persistent regardless of energy prices.

India is now being forced to ration diesel fuel for the first time maybe ever. At the same time, global stocks of crude oil are at their lowest since 2003. Even inventories here in the US have been drained to levels we haven't witnessed in 20 years.

Last Wednesday's CPI report, while not a surprise, still showed a year-over-year inflation rate of 4.2% - higher than in any month since April, 2023. For investors, this raises a number of questions. First, is this the peak for U.S. inflation and, if it is, how fast will inflation fall from here? Second, are we looking at the right inflation rate, anyway, given differences between CPI and PCE deflators, headline and core measures and the new Fed Chairman's preference for trimmed mean and median readings?

We are entering an era of permanent inflation. The Federal Reserve doesn't even wait for the rates to come down to 2% before they start cutting." — Dr. Mark SkousenEconomist Dr. Mark Skousen warns that small businesses are lagging, B2B spending is in a minor recession, and the stock market's AI-driven highs may be an illusion.

Inflation is back in the headlines—but are the official numbers telling the full story? In this episode, we explore the disconnect between official inflation data and real-world price increases, the growing threat of CBDCs, and the historical role of gold and silver during periods of currency instability.Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

Tyler Herriage suggests going long on stocks after the U.S. and Iran announced plans to sign a memorandum of understanding this week. He expects 10-year yields to fall below 4% on expectations that inflation will move "much lower" and sees an interest rate cut from the Fed before the end of the year. Gold is the commodity Tyler sees the greatest upside in, offering a target of $6,000. This momentum backs the bull run, as Tyler expects any tech dips to getting bought immediately. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) The US and Iran reached an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, halting a war that killed thousands of people and setting the stage for negotiations on the fate of Tehran’s nuclear program. Officials from the two countries will meet in Switzerland to formally sign the agreement, with key sticking points left for the next stage of talks, including the removal of sanctions and financial incentives for Iran. The agreement could bring peace and security to the region, but its details remain unresolved, and both sides are casting the deal in different lights, underscoring the difficulties that may lie ahead in resolving outstanding issues. 2) Inflation is roaring back at the fastest pace in three years, and investors have been dumping US Treasury bonds and piling into bets the Fed will need to start raising rates by December. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is facing an unusually high-stakes test in his first FOMC meeting as Fed chair, with his maiden press conference and the Fed's post-meeting statement and forecasts to be scoured for clues on what's next. Warsh's commitment to maintaining the bank's political independence will be reassured if he sends a convincing message that the Fed is willing to shift back into inflation-fighting mode, but falling short will rattle markets already worried he could jeopardize the Fed's credibility. 3) SpaceX shares jumped in premarket trading Monday, after its blockbuster debut Friday vaulted it into the ranks of the world’s most valuable public companies. The performance helped bolster confidence in the artificial intelligence rally, following SpaceX’s embrace of AI earlier this year with the acquisition of Musk’s xAI. It also boosted the IPO prospects of Anthropic PBC and OpenAI, both of which plan go public themselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ein Kampfsportspektakel der besonderen Art, das US-Präsident Trump zu seinem Geburtstag (und zum 250. des Landes) auf dem Südrasen des Weißen Hauses inszenierte: In einer Käfigarena gingen Mixed-Martial-Arts-Kämpfer aufeinander los. Die Show erinnerte an die Kämpfe der Gladiatoren im Alten Rom, „Brot und Spiele“ oder vielmehr „Blut und Spiele“, stellen Ingo Zamperoni und seine Frau Jiffer Bourguignon fest.Eine Demonstration von Macht, Stärke und Dominanz, meint der Tagesthemen-Moderator. „So ein Spektakel lenkt ab von dem, was derzeit nicht so gut läuft: Trumps schlechten Umfragewerten, den hohen Spritpreisen oder der steigenden Inflation.“ Jiffer sagt, eine derartige Vermischung von Amt und Entertainment – und dann noch auf Kosten der Steuerzahler – habe es in der US-Geschichte noch nie gegeben.Ingo und Jiffer freuen sich über den Beginn der Fußball-WM und den Sieg der New York Knicks bei den NBA-Finals. Und sie fragen sich, wie der von Trump angekündigte „Deal" im Iran-Krieg zu deuten sei. Typisch Trump, meinen die beiden, eine chaotische Absichtserklärung mit vielen Fragezeichen, aber vielleicht sei das Teil seiner Strategie.Ihr habt Fragen an Jiffer und Ingo?

Let's talk about inflation going up and deflation as a wish….

The European Central Bank just raised rates on Thursday into an economy that is already shrinking. That sentence should sound familiar, because Europe has done this before. Not once. Twice. The two questions we now want to ask are, first, whether the ECB's action will pull others including the Fed into this rate hiking gambit. Second, how long could they hang on hawking before they have to turn around. And what can the markets tell us about both. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis-------------------------------------------------------------If you have a retirement account and you've been wondering whether crypto belongs inside it, BlockTrustIRA is something worth looking into.

I'm concerned because I don't know how any political movement survives this level of public self-destruction. These people are EVIL.Seriously, what is the sales pitch anymore?Imagine you're recruiting for the Democratic Party in 2026."Come join us. We oppose voter ID. We defend government waste until someone finds it. We support policies voters reject, then call the voters the problem. We lose elections and immediately begin holding seminars on why reality is unfair."Who signs up for that?And yet somehow they're still here.It's like watching a political version of a mall store that's been "Going Out of Business" since 1997. Every time you drive by, the liquidation signs are bigger, the windows are dirtier, and somehow they're still open.[ARC] Democrats LeavingTake Florida House Democrat Lindsay Cross.She recently announced she won't seek reelection.Now maybe there are personal reasons. Politics is demanding work. But if I were a Democrat officeholder looking around at my party right now, I'd probably be checking emergency exits too.Because what exactly are these people defending anymore?Every week Democrats discover a new hill to die on.Not a mountain.Not a strategic position.A hill.A tiny, insignificant mound that normal Americans didn't even know existed until Democrats climbed on top of it waving a flag.The latest example?President Trump wants to beautify Washington, D.C.And Democrats are upset.Think about how remarkable that is.There are wars.Inflation concerns.Crime.The border.National debt.But somewhere in America sits a Democrat operative furiously typing a memo titled: "Why Cleaner Streets Are A Threat To Democracy."You couldn't parody these people aggressively enough to catch up with reality.And what fascinates me isn't their insanity. It's their honesty.They're finally saying the quiet part out loud.For decades, Democrats wrapped radical ideas in beautiful language.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump says he loves inflation. Seriously. This week on Political Rehab, Matt Robison and Matt Wylie break down one of the strangest weeks of Trump's presidency as rising prices, a growing conflict with Iran, election conspiracy theories, media battles, and Trump's expanding sports empire all collide.The bigger question: is Trump betting against reality—and expecting voters to go along with it?In this episode:

We talked about why inflation is so dangerous in retirement, how stocks can help you stay ahead of inflation, why dividend growth matters, how bonds behave in rising rate environments, and how tools like TIPS and I Bonds can fit into a broader strategy. We also talked about practical steps like reducing high-interest debt and managing spending more intentionally. Today I want to zoom out and talk about the bigger picture.

This week on Purple Political Breakdown: the guardrails keep getting overridden, and the polls say Americans can feel it. Radell breaks down a president who says an Iran peace deal gets signed any day now while telling you he loves the inflation that same war is causing. A new intelligence chief, Jay Clayton, nominated to clean up the Bill Pulte mess after FISA Section 702 surveillance authority quietly lapsed. Detainees on a hunger and labor strike at Delaney Hall in Newark, and the uncomfortable question of near-free labor for private profit. Then a Breakdown on the gap between what Americans believe is coming, AI risk and democratic decay, and what they will actually act on, including the world's first commercial brain implant and Trump's push to erase his impeachment from the record. Plus a Research on a Dime on the California "rigged election" claims, jungle primaries, and the governor race vote-split. We close on real good news: the ozone layer healing, a twice-yearly shot that stopped HIV in trials, and more. Political Solutions Without Political Bias.

X: @RepFine @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Congressman Randy Fine, member of the House Foreign Relations Committee and the Education and Workforce Committee. He is one of the most effective communicators in Congress in advancing our shared values and principles. A third-generation Floridian, Randy built a career as a successful entrepreneur, founding and running businesses in retail, technology, and hospitality. He has been an active Boy Scout volunteer, serving as both Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster. The son of two public school teachers, Randy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in government and later earned his MBA from Harvard Business School, where he graduated with high distinction as one of the youngest Baker Scholars in decades. Congressman Fine also serves as a member of the Freedom Caucus, Republican Study Committee and the Judea and Samaria Caucus. The conversation will explore practical and principled approaches to reducing the cost of housing and healthcare, as well as the critical importance of election integrity, with a strong majority of Americans supporting voter identification requirements, according to Pew Research. Recent studies cited by the White House suggest a correlation between the deportation of individuals residing in the United States illegally and declining housing costs in several major metropolitan areas. The Trump administration noted that "14 of the top 20 U.S. metro areas with the largest undocumented migrant populations experienced year-over-year declines in home listing prices." The discussion also highlights historical immigration enforcement trends. According to published reports, the administration of President Barack Obama formally removed approximately 3 million noncitizens from the United States during his time in office. The program will also examine growing concerns over Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and discuss strategies to prevent the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism from threatening global security and holding the free world hostage. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @RepFine @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

The U.S. unleashed a second straight night of strikes on Iran with President Trump saying Iran is taking too long to negotiate, as Iran fires back at U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan and Trump reveals U.S. efforts to help oil tankers slip past the Iranian blockade. Inflation jumped to its highest level in more than three years last month, largely driven by soaring gas prices since the war with Iran began, leaving many families like Emily Inlow in Kentucky struggling as wages fail to keep pace with rising costs.And the 2026 World Cup kicks off today in Mexico City, the world's biggest sporting event already shadowed by protests, geopolitical tensions, and disputes over which teams and fans can even enter the United States.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Tina Kraja, Pallavi Gogoi, Tara Neill, Mohamad El-Bardicy and John Stolnis.
