The CPI is forecast to have risen by 0.3% in April and 2.3% on a year-over-year basis, according to the consensus estimates from FactSet. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy costs, is expected to have risen 0.3%, or 2.8% year over year. In March, the CPI fell on a monthly basis for the first time since 2020, as energy prices dragged inflation pressures downward.“Tariffs were likely a modest source of inflationary pressure in April,” wrote Bank of America analysts in a recent report, noting: “Larger inflation prints due to tariff hikes are in the pipeline.”
$Sea Ltd(SE)$ first-quarter 2025 results are expected to have benefited from the continued expansion of its digital financial services, particularly in consumer and SME lending across Southeast Asia and Brazil. The credit segment, which remains the key revenue driver, recorded a more than 60% year-over-year loan book surge in the fourth quarter of 2024. With ongoing improvements in credit penetration, this segment is well-positioned to have driven robust revenue expansion in the quarter.
Sources reveal that the tariff levels currently under discussion for China range between 50% and 54%—significantly lower than the “unsustainable” triple-digit rates mentioned by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott earlier this week.

Trump admin is likely trying to remove Powell before 2026 and then create a precedent to remove any Fed Chair they don’t like.They recently filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court, challenging the precedent set by the 1935 case Humphrey’s Executor v. United States. This precedent restricts the president’s ability to remove officials from independent federal agencies without cause. Trump’s legal team argues that such restrictions infringe upon the executive branch’s constitutional authority. While Powell is not named in this filing, a ruling in favor of the administration could set a precedent allowing the president to dismiss officials like the Fed Chair without cause.I think all this means we end up with Hulk Hogan as fed chair.
