"I was completely upside down for a bit there."

Water management calls include an update from the NOAA and the NWS's Missouri Basin River Forecast Center, as well as an update on Missouri River mainstem reservoir system operations.

The updated 2022 upper Basin runoff forecast is 17.8 MAF, 69% of average, which, if realized, would rank as the 23rd lowest calendar year runoff volume.

After Sunday's vote placed him in a tighter-than-expected run-off contest with his closest rival Marine Le Pen, French incumbent Emmanuel Macron is trying to persuade voters to keep him in the Élysée Palace. Macron has signalled that he is ready to walk back his pension reform plan, suggesting he may not raise the legal retirement age to 65 after all. Marine Le Pen wants to keep it at the current age of 62. We take a closer look at how much their plans could cost the state coffers. 

French leader Emmanuel Macron and challenger Marine Le Pen both qualified for what promises to be a very tightly fought presidential election runoff on the 24th of April, pitting a pro-European economic liberal against a far-right nationalist. With projections putting Mr Macron in first place ahead of Ms Le Pen after Sunday's first-round voting, other major candidates admitted defeat.  - Ֆրանսայի նախագահ Էմմանուէլ Մաքրոն և իր ընդդիմադիր Մարին Լը Բէն բաւարար քուէներ շահելով իրաւունք ունեցան մասնակցելու նախագահական ընտրութեան երկրորդ հանգրուանին որ տեղի պիտի ունենայ Ապրիլ 24-ին:

Minutes to the Federal Open Market Committee's March meeting reveal that the U.S. central bank plans to begin reducing its balance sheet as soon as after the FOMC's May meeting. Policymakers discussed monthly caps for asset runoffs, $35 billion for mortgage-backed securities and $60 billion for Treasuries. The plan includes a phase-in period of three months, or modestly longer, but the monthly total cap of $95 billion is significantly higher than the last time the Federal Reserve tried to shrink its balance sheet. The Fed's hawkish tone was underscored by the fact that multiple members conceded that at least one rate hike of 50 basis points may be warranted and that they might have voted for one of that magnitude in March but for Russia's invasion of Ukraine presenting a new challenge to growth. U.S. equity markets slipped further into the red following the minutes' release, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to a three-year high. Real Vision is in San Diego for this week's Macro Experience event, where we continue to meet face to face with some of our favorite guests.
