The important macroeconomic question isn't: Have charges against Powell been dropped? It's this: Can the next Fed chair make an unpopular decision without fear of jail? The President has made no promises he won't jail the next guy, so no, the Fed isn't independent.

Bottom line: the issue isn't only what Iran can do. It's that everyone now knows what Iran can do. Revealed vulnerability changes bargaining power.

Courts saying “go to Congress” is not courts banning tariffs. It’s courts saying the Constitution still exists. That matters for markets too: the rule of law lowers uncertainty; arbitrary power raises it.

One more sleep until I can tell you what I've been working on. Can't wait.

Even if Middle East tensions ease, futures markets are signaling oil prices will stay elevated for months — maybe years.⁣ ⁣ That's the "Iran tax." And it's not going away anytime soon, regardless of what the White House says about prices coming down.

A terrific sign for business confidence is when "not wiping civilizations off the map" counts as good news. Low bar. Somehow still doing limbo under it.

"You can't say the cost of a puppy is $200 because that was the adoption fee." The Pentagon's $25B price tag does exactly that — it ignores veterans' care, disability payments, and decades of interest. The true cost of war shows up long after the fighting stops.

Private credit is the bit of finance that’s not banks and not public bond markets, but is now big enough to matter for everyone else. Translation: a lot of business lending migrated somewhere less visible.

A windfall profits tax sounds great as a one-off.⁣ ⁣ But once investors expect it to happen again, it's no longer a windfall tax—it's just a profits tax. And that can discourage the investment you actually want.

Wall Street is basically my mum with a report card: expected a D, got a C, called it progress.

Big news from 🇵🇹! It plans to halve its fossil fuel dependence over the next decade. Already at ~80% renewables in its power mix, the next steps are: 1️⃣ electrifying transport, industry & heating. 2️⃣ backing a windfall tax on companies profiting from fossil fuel price spikes due to the Iran conflict!

Wembanyama’s 43‑foot heave at the halftime buzzer is now the Spurs’ No. 3 longest playoff field goal in the play‑by‑play era (since 1996–97). Manu Ginóbili has the 2 longest heaves: - 52‑footer on May 22, 2005 (Game 1 vs. Phoenix) - 49‑footer on April 29, 2011 (Game 6 vs. Memphis) #NBA

A little owl was spotted in the middle of the road. The tour bus stopped, and the tour guide got out and went to remove the owl from harm's way. She released the bird by the road side. Not sure leaving the owl there was the right thing to do, and there was no mention of Animal Rescue being called.
