Trump Addresses Scaled Back WHCD

Bloomberg White House correspondent Jeff Mason says the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association dinner largely followed its original program but took place in a much smaller venue, creating a different atmosphere and prompting renewed debate about the event's future. He says President Donald Trump's remarks, including jokes about seeking another term, drew mostly restrained reactions from a room dominated by journalists, while organizers say the dinner is set to return to the Washington Hilton next year.

Build More or Freeze Rents? The Affordable Housing Fight Dividing Cities

Austin became the fastest-growing large metropolitan area in the country during the pandemic, as remote work, corporate relocations and rapid in-migration helped push rents up roughly 25% in 2021. Austin's long-running supply strategy expanded under Mayor Kirk Watson through faster permitting, looser zoning and smaller minimum lot sizes helped add nearly 50,000 rental units across the metro in 2023 and 2024, contributing to a 19% inflation-adjusted decline in city rents from the 2021 average to 2025, even as oversupply began pressuring developers and slowing new construction.

US Faces Growing Measles Challenge

Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease expert at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, says falling vaccination rates have fueled the resurgence of measles in the US and warns the country has effectively lost its ability to control the disease, making higher immunization rates essential to restoring community protection. He also says public health funding cuts are weakening the nation's ability to respond quickly to foodborne outbreaks such as cyclospora, increasing risks for consumers and health agencies.

Trump Rebuilds Tariffs on 60 Economies

Bloomberg global trade editor Brendan Murray says the Trump administration is replacing expiring tariffs with new Section 301 levies tied to forced labor investigations, extending duties to dozens of countries while laying the groundwork for additional trade actions. He says markets have largely absorbed the latest tariffs, but legal challenges and broader investigations into industrial overcapacity could shape the next phase of US trade policy and relations with China.

Houthi Threats Test Global Oil Flows

Bloomberg energy and commodities reporter Stephen Stapczynski says renewed Houthi attacks in the Red Sea are threatening a key alternative route for Persian Gulf oil exports, raising concerns about shipping, refining and fuel supplies even as some tankers continue transiting the region. He says depleted global inventories of crude oil, diesel, jet fuel and natural gas leave energy markets with less of a buffer against further disruptions, while attacks linked to the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to tighten global fuel supplies.

Rattner Says AI Boom Faces Questions Over Debt, China and Higher Rates

Steven Rattner says artificial intelligence will be a major contributor to the economy, but the market still does not know exactly who the winners and losers will be. As Big Tech pours money into AI infrastructure, investors are starting to demand a wider margin of safety from companies borrowing to fund massive capital spending. Rattner says cheaper Chinese AI models could also reshape the competitive landscape, especially if companies can easily route tasks to less expensive models. At the same time, rising Treasury yields, inflation, federal deficits and higher defense spending are pushing borrowing costs up a shift that could weigh on AI valuations, private equity deals and companies whose expected profits sit far in the future.
