Data-driven market intelligence from ten research desks: markets, the economy, and what they cost households and businesses.

June CPI tracks at 3.9% as gasoline prices ease, but core inflation at 2.85% refuses to break. The FOMC is trapped between a softening headline and a hawkish yield curve bear-steepening at the 30-year.

Gold futures held $4,037/oz on July 14 after a 28% correction from the $5,586 peak. June saw $8.9 billion in global ETF outflows driven by Warsh's hawkish pivot and dollar strength from the Iran MOU.

Bitcoin trades at $62,771 under a dual overhang: US-Iran escalation and high-stakes macro catalysts this week. Two weeks of ETF inflows signal cautious institutional re-entry, but the $62,000 floor has to hold.

Before the markets opened on February 9, 2026, Kyndryl Holdings quietly filed three separate documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. By noon, the world's largest IT infrastructure services company had lost more than half its market value (roughly $3 billion) in a single trading session. The CFO was gone.
