Bank Of America Feels Economy May Grow 1% to 1.5% With No Recession
Bank of America's boss Brian Moynihan is pretty upbeat, telling CNBC you shouldn't brace for a recession because he expects U.S. growth of 1%1.5% this year. He also says the Fed won't cut rates until 2026, even though Liberation Day tariffs briefly slowed spending in May. Consumers snapped back, with card, check, ATM and digital payments up 5% in July 2025 vs July 2024, according to BofA data. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with IST:ISCTR. Moynihan adds that credit quality is strong and borrowers still have room to take on debt. On the labor front, he notes 4.2% unemployment sits below most full-employment estimates, so future job gains will be limited by available workers rather than weak demand. If consumers keep this up and the job market stays tight, we could see a year without rate cuts and no will be eyeing the Fed's December meeting for any hint of a policy shift.

Claire's files for bankruptcy - again. See which stores are closing.
Mall jewelry chain Claire's has filed for bankruptcy for the second time in seven years. The majority of Claire's locations in the U.S. and the rest of North America will remain open as the company "continues to explore all strategic alternatives," according to a news release issued Wednesday, Aug. 6, by parent company Claire's Holdings LLC and Claire's U.S., which operates Claire's and Icing stores in the U.S. Claire's, which is based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, near Chicago, has continued to struggle since a March 2018 bankruptcy filing. The rise of ultra-popular fast fashion websites Shein and Temu had cut into sales for the jewelry store chain, which has 1,326 company-operated stores in the U.S. Other detrimental factors: rising interest rates, inflation and tariffs on goods from China. Known for its ear piercings and teen fashion accessories, the chain joins other companies facing bankruptcies and store closings such as At Home, Big Lots, Joann Fabrics, Kohl's, JCPenney, Macy's and Party City. Here's what to know, including which stores are closing. Kroger: Supermarket chain closing two more stores, adding to list of closures Why is Claire's filing for backtuptcy? Ahead of the Aug. 6 bankruptcy filing, the company had sought to find a buyer for all or part of the business, and identified 18 stores it would close, according to filings in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. "This decision is difficult, but a necessary one. Increased competition, consumer spending trends and the ongoing shift away from brick-and-mortar retail, in combination with our current debt obligations and macroeconomic factors, necessitate this course of action for Claire's and its stakeholders," said Claire's CEO Chris Cramer in the news release. "We remain in active discussions with potential strategic and financial partners and are committed to completing our review of strategic alternatives." Earlier this year, Claire's deferred payments on debt interest as a way to conserve cash, Bloomberg reported. U.S. tariff policy uncertainties has led to concerns about Claire's ability to pay a $475 million loan due in December 2026, according to Bloomberg. Another sign of financial pressure and cash flow problems at Claire's: the company had increasingly fallen behind on its bills over the past year, according to Ragini Bhalla, spokesperson for business credit report provider Creditsafe. "These patterns once again reveal that the retailer has been struggling to handle its financial obligations and delaying paying more of its outstanding bills," he said in July 30 report shared with USA TODAY. Which Claire's and Icing stores are closing? A total of 18 Claire's and Icing stores will be closing, with clearance sales concluding no later than Sept. 7, according to the company's court filings.
