Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent goes full fire on Powell

Germany's Merz admits: It was a serious strategic mistake to exit nuclear energy.
Friedrich Merz just plainly admitted: ditching nuclear was "a serious strategic mistake" and Germany's running the world's most expensive energy transition. "At least 3 years ago we had to leave the last remaining nuclear power plants in Germany on the grid so that we at least had the power generation capacities we had at that time. We have taken over something that we now have to correct. But we just don't have enough energy generation capacities." Source: Mario Nawfal on X

THE HOUSING MARKET JUST WOKE UP
The U.S. housing market is showing a sharp revival, driven by a 28.5% surge in mortgage activity last week. Triggered in part by President Trump’s plan for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $200 billion in mortgage-backed bonds, the 30-year fixed rate briefly dipped below 6%, fueling demand. Refinances jumped 40% week-over-week (up 128% vs. last year), while total applications soared as long-idle borrowers finally acted. Economists note this reflects pent-up demand rather than just temporary post-holiday noise, signaling a potential broader market rebound. Is the sub 6% era back for good, or is this a temporary window? Source: CNBC
