Gasoline Retailers must get their Prices down, IMMEDIATELY! They’re too high considering that Oil is now at $68 a Barrel, and heading south. The Retailers must quickly react to this statement, and do what they know is right — DROP YOUR PRICE FOR OUR GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE! There will be no gauging, which is totally illegal. If Retailers don’t do this, big problems lie ahead! Start targeting around the $2.50 a Gallon number, and California should stop charging such heavy Taxes on their Gasoline. Soon the Tax will be higher than the Product itself, and the United States will not stand for it, nor will the People of California, who are being abused by these ridiculous Taxes, and by their own Government.

TRUMP AUTHORISES TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF CERTAIN DUTIES ON PHOSPHATE FERTILIZER IMPORTED FROM MOROCCO - WHITE HOUSE Declaration of Emergency and Authorization for Temporary Duty Free Importation of Phosphate Fertilizer from Morocco 1. Fertilizers are an essential component of agriculture and food production. Producers of corn, soybeans, wheat, and a variety of other crops need phosphate fertilizers to ensure strong crop yields to feed the population. Food production is critical to human health, farm security, and to the function of major sectors of the economy, and even isolated interruptions in food production can have serious health and economic consequences. Robust and reliable food production is therefore critical to the economic and national security of the United States. 2. During the planting and growing season, soil and crops require critical nutrients, including the phosphorus supplied by phosphate fertilizers, and in the coming months, farmers will apply more than half of annually consumed phosphate fertilizers between the fall and very early spring prior to next spring’s planting. To ensure a stable food supply, predictable and timely sources of phosphate fertilizer must be procured to meet United States demand, which requires adequate supply of phosphate fertilizer, a critical type of plant food.

Before we get there, we will get the latest GDP numbers for April on Tuesday. The economy has been struggling to find its footing. ...

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the ECB Forum on Central Banking. Over the past 15 years, the euro area faced an environment of extraordinary pressures that called for unconventional responses. The sovereign debt crisis brought us towards the effective lower bound. The pandemic collapsed demand further. We responded with asset purchases and refinancing operations to support the economy, and new instruments to address fragmentation. Our toolbox expanded in other ways too: forward guidance with lift-off criteria, sequencing commitments, links between different policy instruments. When the environment reversed and Russia cut off our access to natural gas, we responded with a conventional instrument used in unconventional ways: the fastest tightening cycle in our history, raising rates in increments we had never used before. But in today’s environment, monet Lagarde Says Europe Is Getting More Resilient to Economic Shocks ECB's President Lagarde: it is not accurate to describe the June move as an insurance hike.
