The Atlanta Fed GDPNow forecast for Q3 2025 is rising, recently hitting 4.2%.
The Atlanta Fed says this bump came despite a slight downside revision in private domestic investment.
Part is due to rising net exports. Also, investment in AI-related infrastructure (data centers, chips, cloud) #EconSky

Vizsla Silver is the latest to do an offering that sends its shares sliding 14% in the pre-market. And here, silly me thought they had enough money to develop Panuco.

Of all the terrible things Roberts has done, this was the most shocking stat: "the right-wing majority has used the shadow docket to uphold Trump’s actions roughly 90 percent of the time, repeatedly bailing him out of any obligation to follow the law"
There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it
