Ministers are drawing up plans to boost economic growth by exploiting the fiscal rules to increase government borrowing and spend the money on infrastructure, housing and support for businesses.
Under proposals being worked on before the budget the Treasury intends to provide billions of pounds in new finance.
Everyone knows President Trump plays the role of political populist, but sometimes all you can do is laugh. Take his lashing Monday of American oil companies for “making too much money.”
Mr. Trump is worried about gasoline prices going into the midterm election, and the President needs someone to blame. Voila, Big Oil.
U.S. corporate earnings are already running almost 60% above trend, with rapid growth still expected for years, mostly thanks to the AI boom. But the questionable economics of new AI data centres could pop this bubble, sending earnings tumbling back toward their long-term average – generating significant losses for investors along the way.
We are entering the tail end of Wall Street’s second-quarter earnings season, and, as usual, the majority of companies have managed to beat already sky-high expectations. This is largely thanks to strong earnings growth, with S&P 500 earnings per share now at record highs.
