It's a Me Mario Reporting Live from the Mushroom Kingdom (aka Wall Street)!
Hello everyone! It's a me Mario your favorite plumber turned news reporter! I've traded my trusty plunger for a pen (and maybe a power up or two) to bring you the latest news. These days things are getting wilder than a ride on Yoshi through Bowser's castle! These tariffs are like a giant Goomba stomping all over the economy!
Treasury Yields Jump Higher Than My High Score!
The U.S. Treasury yields are jumping like I'm trying to reach a flagpole! The 10 year Treasury yield zoomed up 10 basis points to 4.363% and the 2 year Treasury yield went up 7 points to 3.808%. That’s like finding a hidden block with a Starman only instead of making me invincible it's making investors nervous! Remember yields and prices are like me and Bowser – always going in opposite directions! Wahoo!
Trump's Tariffs: "Reciprocal" or "Really Risky"?
President Trump's tariffs are causing more chaos than a blue shell in Mario Kart! Last week he put tariffs on over 180 countries. Now customs are collecting new tariffs on imports from 86 nations. Mama mia that’s a lot of countries! They call them "reciprocal tariffs," but I think they’re more like “really risky” tariffs. It's like trying to jump over a bottomless pit – you might make it but what if you don’t?
China and Canada Fight Back! It's a Trade War!
China retaliated with 34% tariffs on U.S. imports and Canada slapped 25% tariffs on U.S. made vehicles. It's a me caught in the middle of a trade war! This is like Bowser and I fighting over Princess Peach but instead of a princess it's…well I'm not even sure what it is we're fighting over! But it's not a good I tell you!
Economic Clues: The Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index Are on the Way!
The experts are looking at the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index to figure out what’s happening with the U.S. economy. They're like me searching for a hidden power up hoping to find something that will save the day. Let’s hope these indexes are more helpful than a Boo hiding behind a curtain!
Will the Fed Need a Super Mushroom to Save the Day?
Things are getting so shaky that some people think the Federal Reserve might need to step in. They're talking about an emergency rate cut just like during the Covid crisis! That's like giving the economy a Super Mushroom to make it bigger and stronger. But will it work? We'll just have to wait and see! As I always say “Let’s a go!”… But maybe with a little caution this time!
