WHY ARE COPPER PRICES SOARING?
[[link removed]]


Along with gold and silver, the price of copper is soaring. But
unlike the two precious metals, copper prices are rising for economic
reasons, not political. Since the beginning of the year, the supply
and demand picture for copper has tightened significantly. Supply has
declined because of disruptions at the Grasberg copper mine in
Indonesia, the second largest in […]

TRUMP’S NEW WEAKNESS ON CHINA
[[link removed]]


President Donald Trump’s foremost accomplishment during his first
term was breaking the decadeslong bipartisan consensus that
Beijing’s threats were only slight irritants amid the far greater
opportunity offered by China’s economy. That shift endured into the
Biden administration. Today, however, Trump seems determined to
reverse course. Trump is increasingly replacing a China policy rooted
in […]

AI AND THE DEATH OF MACROECONOMICS AS WE KNEW IT
[[link removed]]


It’s not inflation or recession that has blindsided traditional
macroeconomists, but irrelevance. Artificial intelligence has not just
transformed markets but made our dominant frameworks for understanding
them obsolete. For over a century, macroeconomics has relied on tools
honed in the industrial age: GDP to measure growth, yield curves to

WHAT ARE TRUMP’S MOTIVATIONS IN VENEZUELA?
[[link removed]]


If you take his comments at face value, President Donald Trump’s

needs to pack up his things and get out of Caracas before it’s too
late. Trump reportedly reiterated that demand during last week’s
phone call with Maduro, even as he rejected the Venezuelan
dictator’s demands for […]

THE GOP UNDERPERFORMANCE IN TENNESSEE MATTERS LESS THAN YOU THINK
[[link removed]]


A favorite pastime of election watchers and political operatives is to
extrapolate every little detail possible from the results of an
off-year or off-cycle election. This week was no different. On Tuesday
night, Republican congressional candidate Matt Van Epps successfully
held Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District for the GOP, while
underperforming the district’s recent GOP margins. […]

[Karine Jean-Pierre was no Jackie Robinson]

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE WAS NO JACKIE ROBINSON
[[link removed]]


Former President Joe Biden perfectly demonstrated the folly of liberal
diversity, equity, and inclusion policies when he hired Karine
Jean-Pierre as his White House press secretary. Jean-Pierre was not
fit for the job, everyone admits today. Her promotion to a job for
which she was clearly unqualified pokes a hole in many liberal
arguments for […]
