This geopolitical uncertainty is contributing to volatility in oil prices and broader market instability. Additionally, the industrial sector is facing a significant strain on copper supplies, driven by the global transition toward renewable energy. Investors are also preparing for an extensive legislative debate regarding the upcoming expiration of U.S. tax provisions, which could significantly influence corporate fiscal policy and long-term economic growth.
- Geopolitical tensions involving Iran are raising concerns about sustained disruptions to global energy supplies and maritime transportation.
- Market analysts warn that a direct military conflict in the region could lead to a significant and rapid spike in crude oil prices.

It’s a "conditional" opening. It's open for business if you aren't Iran and if you're willing to follow Iran's rules while dodging U.S. warships. For most of the world's shipping, that's a "no thanks" for now
liar liar your pants are on fire

Paulson's star performer "J. Powell" has failed for 5 years in a row to meet the 2% inflation target which is a core goal of the Fed. He should have been fired four years ago. J. Powell is only a star performer from the perspective of Wall Street billionaires who have accumulated unfathomable $trillions of untaxed wealth due to his tenure.
I remember Hank Paulson from 2008 financial crisis. He was so energetic. I guess we can’t find the force of nature and our biology. I wish him well!
Not one question on whether the institution of the Presidency is completely flawed already if this is what private interests and Israel can do with it…..there's no law even for the rich presently
We are robbing our best and brightest of the "pride to provide". The assumption that these people just dont care is not super accurate. They just want it to be even. Sure there are some ultra wealthy that have earned public ire, but removing the cap on Social Security is a beautiful thing and would hit everyone. Transaction taxes on the stock purchases and sales. Hits everyone equally. They will fight if they feel they're singled out. So let them them support a more even bv tax burden. It's an existential threat to the country. They will be quickly inverted abroad. They have to know this.
