On Thursday (20 Mar), Gold briefly surged to $3,065 before retreating about $20, this follows the post-Fed decision volatility.

As he made clear during the DBLE summit, he doesn’t support global free trade; instead, his focus is on putting the United States first. While that stance isn’t necessarily a problem, his approach is far from strategic. I disagree with many of his policies, but for the EU, his return is undeniably bad news. Over the past few years, the EU closely followed the U.S. under

On Wed, 12 Feb 2025, US stocks fell after the first inflation readout for 2025, stoking investors’ concerns about stubborn price pressures and reignited worries that interest rates might not come down as expected. Wall Street attempted to explain that: It is likely (partly) due to businesses raising prices at the start of the year.
