Iran war hits 6-month mark with no end in sight What to know about the Iran war today: o President Trump insisted Thursday that Iran is "begging to make a deal," as Iranian officials pushed back against U.S. economic pressure and talks between the two countries remained stalled six months into the war.

No one predicted that it would happen in the group stage against Italy. After all, Italy was making its first World Cup appearance since 1994, and the Americans beat the Italians by 44 at the World Cup Qualifying Tournament in March. Yet as a tense 40 minutes in Berlin came to a close, Team USA could only stand and watch as Cecilia Zandalasini's 3-pointer floated toward the rim. If it went in, there would be overtime. Instead, it drifted well wide and Breanna Stewart grabbed the rebound to secure a 55-52 victory for Team USA. This...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Health benefits consulting firm Marsh projects that the total health benefit cost per employee, which measures both employer and employee premium contributions, will rise by an average of 8.2% in 2027, the steepest increase since 2003. That forecast factors in cost-saving steps employers plan to take, such as raising deductibles, which typically lower monthly premiums for employees but increase their out-of-pocket costs.

Feds to buy up to $6 billion in Treasury bonds in move to ease borrowing costs U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that the agency will buy up to $6 billion in long-term government bonds as part of an effort to curb rising yields and ease borrowing costs. The Treasury Department vowed last month to "at least" double its bond buybacks to $4 billion to prop up prices. Higher Treasury yields raise borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, and can also weigh on stock prices. Government Treasury purchases reduce supply, boosting bond prices and reducing yields (Bond yields are inversely related to prices, meaning that as yields rise, bond prices fall.) Rising yields signal that investors are demanding higher returns on...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

At RNC midterm convention, Trump pitches $5,000 checks to U.S. citizens — but only if GOP wins House and Senate President Trump vowed Wednesday to send a $5,000 "dividend" to every American citizen after the midterms, but only if Republicans hold onto control of the House and Senate. The announcement came almost an hour into Mr. Trump's speech to the Republican National Committee's first-of-its-kind midterm convention in Dallas, as he seeks to rally Republican voters and fight significant political headwinds in the November elections. "If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," he said. The president did not offer details on how the payments — which he dubbed "Trump Dividends" — would work, including whether he plans...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Trump's $5,000 dividend would reignite inflation and swell the U.S. deficit, economists say President Trump's vow to send $5,000 to every U.S. adult if the Republican Party keeps control of Congress in the midterm elections would drive up the federal deficit, reignite inflation and alarm investors, according to economists. After Mr. Trump raised the idea of such a dividend on Wednesday night at the Republican National Committee's midterm convention, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that the U.S. would fund the payment using tariff revenue collected by the Trump administration, and that it would be aimed at the middle class. Those tariffs are generating about $125 billion in annual revenue — one-tenth of the $1.25 trillion that would be...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

How Iran's regional allies' attacks in Yemen are compounding the war's impact on oil prices Escalating fighting between Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia, and attacks by other Iranian proxy forces on Saudi infrastructure, are increasing the threat to tanker traffic in the Middle East and driving up global fuel costs more than six months after the U.S. and Israel launched their war on Iran. Direct clashes between the U.S. and Iran have severely reduced shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz since the war began, but the Houthi-Saudi tension, and attacks on Saudi infrastructure blamed on other Iran-backed groups, are also squeezing global fuel supplies in the nearby Red Sea. Before the war began, about 30% of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

While the U.S. economy continues to expand and American consumers are still spending, a number of risks are emerging that could weigh on economic growth and derail the stock market, which has fueled a wealth boom.

In addition, the office estimates inflation during the first quarter of 2027 could be 0.5% higher than what was projected before the war because of rising energy prices.
