Here are five key elements that investors must know to start the day of negotiation:

We head for the third day of the government closure, and politicians and investors are impatient with signs of progress in Capitol Hill. But the closure did not maintain the stock market: the three main indices increased to record summits yesterday.

Here is the last:

• President Donald Trump said that the closure had given him an “unprecedented opportunity” to reduce democratic priorities.
• It is a job report on Friday – or at least it would be the case if the government was not closed. Instead of the Pay of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, economists have turned to alternative data for an overview of occupational market health.
• The three major averages, as well as the small captain focused Russell 2000are on the right track to end the week in green despite political volatility.
• In the meantime, USA Rare Earth The actions increased in prolonged exchanges after the CEO Barbara Hupton confirmed to CNBC that the minor of rare land was “in close communication” with the Trump administration.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has targeted a new target: Netflix.

This week, the billionaire entrepreneur asked his subscribers on X to cancel their subscriptions to the streaming service “for the health of your children”. As Laya Neelakandan from CNBC reports, his concerns seem to be linked to the conservative reaction on the animated program of Netflix, “Dead End: Paranormal Park”, which presents a transgender character. The program was canceled in 2023.

Netflix shares have dropped by 4% so far this week. The company did not respond to the request for CNBC comments.

A baccalaureate no longer offers the coveted path to a career in white collar, according to new data. This transforms the United States into what a Labor reflection group called “no country for young graduates”.

Change may have an impact on the economic data used by political decision -makers to determine the health of the labor market. And for the new graduates of the college who find themselves in this position, this leads to a young adulthood very different from what they imagined.

Do you have a Target Trip on the agenda today to recover the vinyl edition of the new album by Taylor Swift? If this is the case, we have good news: its price was not allocated by the prices.

Vinyl recordings, CDs and cassettes are all intact withdrawals. As Luke Fountain of CNBC reports, this is due to an exemption from the era of the Cold War to the international law on the economic powers of emergency known as Berman Amendment.

For the massive swift fans base, it is not a small exemption. Billboard estimates that vinyl sales of the new Swift album, entitled “The Life of a Showgirl”, can exceed 1 million in the first week only.

There was a lot of news to follow this week. Here are some stories that you may have missed:
