10:00 AM Eastern Time - there is still plenty of time for the TACO effect. Until the US market opens. I think that starting to block Iranian ships would lead to attacks on American ships and thus a violation of the ceasefire. Which would completely ...

Iranian official: Warns that Tehran still possesses "unused levers" to counter any potential...

It is necessary to perceive which ships the US will actually block now. The 15 ships a day, which are mostly ships from Iran and its friendly countries, which Iran has allowed to pass through. But it is a total of 15 ships a day, when before the ...

Trump: effective immediately, US Navy will begin process of blockading any and all ships...

Is there a site where you can see the price of WTI oil before the markets open? Or those first seconds after the markets open on the weekend are all the new orders at that moment?

Trump: effective immediately, US Navy will begin process of blockading any and all ships...

Of course, the US will never give a single dollar to rebuild the infrastructure in Iran (the only options are joint investments in the country, lifting sanctions, "joint" charging for Hormuz...). Of course, the US will never commit to not attacking ...

Trump: Only one group of meaningful “Points” that are acceptable to US, and we will be...

If you imagine under what conditions Iran would be willing to make a deal with the US, it would have to be a scenario of full payment of damages by the US or, on the other hand, the fall of the Iranian regime. Hormuz will not be open until the end ...

Trump to Fox Business: Deal with Iran could be 5 days or sooner

Trump's naive attempt to drag other countries into the war. Great Britain managed to tell Trump directly, without any diplomatic games. Now, until Trump decides on a ground invasion, every theocratic fanatic scholar, after all those attacks on his ...

Trump: We have decimated Iran’s military, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO countries’...

Lucrative offer = Iran's effort to preserve their regime. Their army and organization in the country are falling apart, their economy is also under permanent attack. The only question is whether Trump wants to grab all the cards from the table.

Iran's Deputy ForMin: Iran Is Ready To Abandon Its Nuclear Program On The Condition That The...

Not a single comment related to financial markets. What currencies to bet on. Wouldn't you like to go chat about your opinions on Trump in another forum?

Senior Israeli official to Reuters: Khamenei dead, body found

But who is harmed by the illegality of the tariffs? The American consumer, who pays the final price of the product.

Trump’s global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court

If I were to take their statements seriously (immigration + company productivity), we should expect a favorable result for the unemployment rate. Jobs created in absolute value should not be the main indicator, although it will be in the investors' ...

'We have to revise our expectations': White House downplays coming jobs report

The chairman presents the decisions of the institution as a whole at a press conference. Not present his disent´s vote. It's quite uncomfortable to stand there as a member who has been outvoted by his colleagues at every meeting.

Trump: I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Kevin Warsh to be the chairman of the...

The whole thing is just a game to get Europe (more precisely, Denmark) to come up with an offer - let's mine, we will participate financially in the mining and provide the infrastructure for it. If Trump had said this without previous threats and ...

EU to Halt US Trade Deal Over Trump’s New Greenland Tariff on 8 Countries

He and Hasset would be dovish. Warsh may not be as radical as Hasset, so I expect him to not be elected. But beware, I think a dovish Fed chairman is already fully priced in by the markets, so any indication that it might not be so dovish could ...

Kevin Warsh's odds of becoming Fed chair leap higher as Dimon signals support

Okay, you're getting off the bottom, but how much is the increase in total in 3 months? A terribly small increase that justifies considering lowering rates. Such a small increase does not create inflation in any way, on the contrary, there will be a ...

ADP: US National Employment Report: Private Sector Employment Increased by 42,000 Jobs in...

Economic growth, employment, everything is running at full speed thanks to the weak yen. And since there is inflation, it is customary in Japan to mitigate its effects with a social program. Which is an expensive solution compared to a simple ...

Japan urges vigilance against excessive FX volatility

The long-standing practice in Japan has been to strengthen the welfare system to alleviate high prices for citizens rather than raise rates. So yes, it works, if you buy off a natural political move with tax money which redistribute to population. ...

Takaichi adviser Honda: Urges BOJ to be careful with rate hikes; If the yen is too weak, it...

There was a lot of talk about the options for future PMs here, and as far as I know, this lady was the most dovish option for the yen. It was also unlikely that this would be the first time a woman would rule, so I assume the initial reaction would ...

Japan's ruling party elects Sanae Takaichi as leader, likely to become first female PM

But on the market there should have been priced in worse data, so the dollar will strengthen in the short term unless more new news comes.

US Manufacturing PMI at 49.1%; September 2025 ISM Manufacturing PMI Report

There will be a lot of discussion around this. But the economic data is not one-sided. The labor market is weak, but don't the strong GDP data or the unabated inflation tell us that these employees are not needed in the market to generate sales and ...

ADP: US National Employment Report: Private Sector Employment Shed 32,000 Jobs in September;...

Such significant deviations from economists' estimates mean only one thing - the Fed should conduct its own labor market statistics rather than collecting information from a department subordinate to Trump.
