Oil & gasoline higher but not by much. Oil was higher 2 weeks ago and gasoline futures (RBOB) back to August levels.
Keys will be:
1. length of tariffs

Bond yields spiking again on inflation fears.
The last 2 times yields spiked, stocks sold off (though did come back, clearly!)

If your light and heat are working from North Carolina to Virginia to Ohio ... thank coal.
Coal + nat gas + nuclear are 88% of your power generation mix this morning.
It's not pretty and certainly not what we'd think would be the case in 2025, but that's our reality.

More of your tax dollars are now going to paying interest on the national debt than Medicare or defense.
Much of those interest payments are going to the already rich and/or other countries so at least there's that ... 😕 #sarcasm
Random but interesting

Apollo nails it as usual. Yes, the rate of inflation may be coming down but the cost of living is soaring.
Electricity and car insurance are popping and not coming down anytime soon
This is what many in mainstream missed about the story ahead of the election: *rate not same as the actual amount.

Germany's industrial collapse lurches on.
You may not think it matters, but when the world's (formerly) 4th largest economy continues to decline in one key part of its
existence, it does matter.
