Good evening! Today, I shared this week’s Smartt Start on instagram, but I wanted to share it here with all of you who aren’t on the platform (if you are, follow me @smartt_takes). This is a briefing of all the key news of the week.
Highlights include:
Some lucky astrology (if you want to skip the astrology, start the video at 1:25)
Congress battles over funding and plans for Trump’s agenda next year;
Trump eyes USPS privatization and announces SoftBank investment,
Legal battle updates (Trump & TikTok),
A primer on what’s happening abroad in South Korea, Israel- Syria, France, and Germany; and
A Federal Reserve update
As a quick note, since I recorded this there have been a few updates:
BREAKING: House scraps proposed spending bill (link)
The Supreme Court agrees to hear TikTok’s case regarding the ban (link)
The Federal Reserve lowers interest rates and signals fewer rate cuts —as discussed :) (link)
Hope you enjoy! As always, appreciate any feedback. Also, I have a longer version of this I’m uploading to Youtube tomorrow, in case you want deeper analysis. Thanks again for your support.
Cheers and see you next week! Unless this quantum piece I’m working on gets finished by Friday. :)
