Washington didn't wreck DOGE. Elon Musk did.
As Elon Musk departs Washington, his mood resembles his Cybertruck: ugly and adolescent. First, during an interview at the Qatar Economic Forum, when pressed about his anemic results at budget-cutting, Musk told his interviewer, Bloomberg's Mishal Husain, that she sounded like an 'NPC' (a non-player character in a video game) who was 'trapped in the dialogue tree of a conventional journalist.'

Global airlines to address trade war, net-zero uncertainties at annual summit
An unpredictable trade war and daunting environmental targets are on the agenda for global airline bosses at an annual summit in India, as the industry addresses concerns that geopolitical uncertainty will dent strong travel demand and raise costs. More people are flying than ever before after a full post-pandemic passenger market recovery, but airlines globally are facing rising cost pressures, extended plane delivery delays, supply chain bottlenecks and a setback in recently strong fares. On top of this, U.S. President Donald Trump's evolving trade war has upended the aerospace industry's decades-old tariff-free status and added a new layer of volatility, analysts say. While carriers in Europe and Asia report strong demand for flying, the U.S. sector has been hit by a recent slump in travel demand, with carriers struggling to forecast passenger behavior and operational costs. "You can't say that a fall-off in consumer confidence and higher inflation are not going to mean less money in the wallet for people to spend," Aengus Kelly, CEO of AerCap, the world's largest aircraft leasing company, told Reuters. For now, airlines are filling planes but there are questions over the widely watched yield — or average fare per seat sold — they are able to charge as they tweak fares to fill cabins. Many, however, are also being cushioned from the worst effects of demand by a fall in fuel prices and a decline in the U.S. dollar's value. "Those tailwinds have insulated airlines, to date, from the worst effects" of demand, Kelly said. The influential International Air Transport Association (IATA), which represents more than 300 airlines and over 80% of global air traffic, will hold its annual three-day meeting from Sunday in New Delhi. The summit, hosted by India's largest carrier IndiGo, comes as the world's third-largest air passenger market rapidly expands its aviation industry, and as air travel growth in Asia is expected to outstrip Europe and North America for the next few decades. India's recent hostilities with neighbor Pakistan, which is causing Indian airlines to take large, expensive detours around Pakistani airspace, highlight how conflict zones are an increasing burden on airline operations and profitability. IATA said in February that accidents and incidents related to conflict zones are a top concern for aviation safety requiring urgent global coordination. Aviation safety will also be in focus after a spate of air accidents in Kazakhstan, South Korea and North America over the past six months, and rising concerns about air traffic control systems in the United States. IATA has increasingly been warning that airlines will struggle to meet their sustainability goals, and that it is not clear how the transition to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and new technologies will be financed. The broader aviation sector agreed in 2021 to target net-zero emissions in 2050 based mainly on a gradual switch to SAF, which is made from waste oil and biomass and costs more than conventional jet fuel. IATA Director General Willie Walsh has in recent weeks said the industry will need to re-evaluate the commitment, though no change to industry goals is expected at the New Delhi event. Airlines are at odds with energy companies over scarce supplies of SAF, while also pointing the finger at Airbus and Boeing over delays in delivering more fuel-efficient jets. Governments are also likely to get some flak when Walsh delivers an often punchy address to airline bosses on Monday. "Demand for SAF continues to outstrip supply and costs remain prohibitively high. Regulatory frameworks to encourage SAF production are still underdeveloped, inconsistent, or insufficient," said Subhas Menon, director general of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines.

Gold Is Sending Markets a Big Warning Signal
It has been a far different story for industrial metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc. 'The highest-ever gold price vs. the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Spot Subindex at the end of May, based on our database going back to 1991, isn't a good sign for the global economy,' he wrote. U.S. stock prices remain high, and yields on Treasury bonds have been rising recently, not falling, as one would expect if nervous investors were dumping risky assets and buying the debt in a flight to safety.
