Remember when hitting 6,000 on the S&P 500 felt like a pipe dream? Well, surprise! We're back, baby. The big benchmark closed right at 6,000 on Friday, and honestly, it's been quite the journey getting here. The last time we saw these levels was way back in February. Since then, it's been a wild ride that would make a roller coaster designer jealous. We dropped as much as 15% in April (thanks, tariff drama), hitting a low of 4,983 on April ...

Remember when your biggest career worry was whether robots would steal factory jobs? Well, plot twist: they're coming for the corner office too. We're witnessing what economists are calling the "Great Decoupling" – basically, the economy is growing like crazy, corporate profits are hitting record highs, but regular people's paychecks?

So Wall Street is having a full-blown panic attack about AI, and honestly? It's getting a little ridiculous.

For the full year, the U.S. grew at ...

Gold just did something it has never done before: traded comfortably above $5,000 an ounce. And if Wall Street's biggest banks are right, this is the middle of the move — not the end.

In a sweeping 6-3 decision delivered Friday morning, the Court ruled that Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs on nearly every country on Earth was flatly unconstitutional. Chief Justice John Roberts didn't mince words: the law "does not authorize the President to impose tariffs." No president in American history had ever used ...
