However (related to my last post), the trend is not looking great.

Great overview of NFP release - overall stronger than expected, but not by much.

Looks like there might be a deal to end the shutdown.

BREAKING: The DC Circuit has *rejected* Trump's bid to fire Lisa Cook from the Fed board, allowing her to participate in tomorrow's interest-rate setting meeting.

Trump's last hope is a quick stay from SCOTUS. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

According to @punchbowlnews.bsky.social, the White House is lobbying against a Senate bill to ban stock trading for members of Congress, the president and vice president. The Trump administration doesn’t agree with the ban on the president and VP. Quite the business model they've come up with here.

A few excerpts.

IEX has filed for a new options exchange, and the usual suspects are out with the same exact arguments they used 10 years ago against the equities exchange. They were wrong then, and they're wrong now. I wrote a comment letter: www.sec.gov/comments/sr-...

Labor force participation rate down, private employment down, government employment up, trade deficit up, avg hourly earnings not up as much as expected. Unemployment rate down from a combination of lower participation rate and higher government employment (state and local, not federal).

Pretty interesting unemployment report today - unemployment comes in at 4.1%, better than expected, pushing out expectations of a Fed rate cut to September. But under the hood, it's a weird report!

Citadel wants this SEC to make it WAY MORE difficult for future SECs to propose new rules, by imposing an impossible standard for analysis on any interrelated rules.

Citadel explicitly calls out IEX in this "white paper" urging the SEC to take away their protected quote status. IEX must be doing something right...

Citadel doesn't think brokers should have to maintain records for their customers to tell them how their orders were routed.

Also Citadel thinks the CAT should go away - "re-consider the entire project" and it "should be authorized by Congress." Good luck with that... how much did Ken donate to Congress last cycle?

LOL Citadel is upset that brokers and asset managers don't want to trade with them, so they're telling the SEC to get rid of "private rooms" in ATSs.

Check out the livestream at sec.gov today at 1pm for the crypto roundtable. I'm looking forward to talking about how to ensure investor protection and prevent market manipulation in crypto, while realizing the promise of this innovative technology.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.
