The U.S. economy displayed robust signals today as manufacturing expansion reached its highest level since May 2022 and Amazon surpassed a $3 trillion market capitalization, even as analysts warn of potential 1929-style cycle downturns. Geopolitical friction remains high; President Trump issued a decapitation threat to Iran, insisting negotiations are active despite Tehran’s denials, which helped drive a decline in oil prices. Domestically, the administration touted policy-driven success—citing a 126-year low in homicides—while facing political challenges, including public presidential criticism of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro over dropped vandalism charges and a 25-state lawsuit challenging new global tariffs. While corporate earnings and industrial data bolster markets, the administration faces significant legal and international headwinds.
