    From morningstar.com

    A surge in U.S. inflation to a three-year high has begun to recede, but life isn't going to get more affordable for Americans anytime soon. The cost of living is all but certain to decline in June for the first time since the pandemic six years ago - entirely due to a sharp drop in gasoline prices.

Trump: The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran
From @realDonaldTrump | 10 hr ago | 755 comments
The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as “THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World. The process and formation will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
