July 04, 2026 Investors react to weak June jobs report
The June jobs report delivered two surprises with the unemployment rate unexpectedly falling even as hiring tumbled, but both reflected a labor market that suddenly looks a bit soft. Following the data, the S&P 500 opened higher and the two-year Treasury yield, which is linked to the Fed interest-rate outlook, fell, but stocks reversed lower later in the session as the focus turned to Big Tech.

July 03, 2026 Trump takes first trip on Air Force One gifted by Qatar
Donald Trump traveled to North Dakota on Wednesday for the first trip onboard the new Air Force One, a luxury Boeing 747-8 aircraft gifted by the Qatari government.The US president introduced the $400m aircraft last month as the replacement for the military-grade 747-2 that has transported US presidents for more than three decades. The gifted Boeing 747-8 is expected to remain in service until the air force receives a new fleet of Boeing presidential aircraft in the next two years.
The emergence of the controversial gift last year sparked a firestorm of bipartisan criticism of Trump, and intensified conflict of interest fears. The White House has repeatedly pushed back against allegations of corruption, and insisted such donations were in full compliance with the law.
