Tipping tops $78 billion in the U.S.; these states are the most generous
Americans spent an estimated $78 billion on tips at restaurants, bars and other food establishments in 2023, according to a new analysis by LendingTree.
The study, which used government data, found that tips made up 15.02% of spending at full-service restaurants and 6.75% of all food spending away from home.
New Hampshire led the nation in tipping rates, with 16.07% of 'away-from-home food spending' going towards tips.
New Hampshire: 16.07%

California was 31st at 6.15%. Utah had the lowest rate at 4.09%, with Mississippi and Idaho also at 5.10% or less.
The study also looked at per-person spending on dining out, which has grown over the past three years.
The District of Columbia topped this list with an annual per-capita spending of $10,291, followed by Nevada and Hawaii.
California ranked fourth nationwide, with residents spending an average of $5,072 per person annually on dining out, according to LendingTree.
District of Columbia: $10,291

Fed seen on track to resume rate cuts after inflation, job market data
By Ann Saphir (Reuters) -The Federal Reserve's path to interest rate cuts starting in September appeared to widen on Thursday, after a pair of government reports pointed to cooler inflation and signs of potential weakening in the labor market. U.S. producer prices advanced 2.6% in May from a year earlier, after rising 2.5% in April, the Labor Department reported. Taken together with tamer-than-expected increases in the Consumer Price Index in May, economists estimated that inflation by the Fed's preferred gauge of underlying price pressures, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, likely rose in line with the Fed's 2% goal last month. Economists still expect the Trump administration's tariffs to push up prices and lift inflation later this year, but "the near-term trend remains favorable, enabling the (Fed) to signal next week that it still intends to begin easing policy again later this year," economists at Pantheon Macroeconomics wrote. They estimate that core PCE rose by just 0.12% in May from April, based on the latest PPI and CPI data. Economists at other Wall Street firms issued similar estimates. The Fed is nearly universally expected to leave its policy rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range at its June 17-18 meeting. Futures that settle to the Fed's policy rate show traders now expect a quarter-percentage-point reduction by September, with another such move likely in October. Before Thursday's data, traders had expected the Fed to wait until December to deliver a second rate cut. The U.S. central bank cut rates three times in 2024. A separate Labor Department report on Thursday showed initial weekly claims for jobless benefits held steady at a seasonally adjusted 248,000 for the week ended June 7, while continuing claims jumped to 1.951 million, their highest level since November 2021 and a sign that it is getting harder for unemployed workers to find a new job. "Americans, especially recent graduates, are worried about how hard it is to find a job," said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. "If layoffs worsen this summer, it will heighten fears of a recession and consumer spending pullback."

The market is experiencing strong demand due to increasing utilization in environmental monitoring, drug discovery, forensic sciences, and food safety applications. The ongoing evolution of GC systems and the overall trend toward precision analytical testing across various industries are key factors propelling the expansion of the a Sample Report of Gas Chromatography Market@ In the US, the gas chromatography market was valued at approximately USD 1.13 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 1.76 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.05%. The market is mainly propelled by the strong pharmaceutical sector, as well as the regulatory pressure to control pollution and increasing R&D activities within the biotech and environmental laboratories in the United States. Market Overview Gas chromatography (GC) is a fundamental analytical tool in multiple industries such as healthcare, energy, food and beverage, forensics, and environmental monitoring. Due to the increasing interest in environmental pollution and food safety, the ability of GC to identify and quantify chemical compounds is increasingly acknowledged. It is sensitive, rapid, and accurate—making it the method of choice in research and commercial laboratories. Furthermore, trends towards miniaturization and automation have resulted in the growing application of portable GC systems, thereby improving accessibility and efficiency. Moreover, green energy campaigns and carbon-neutral targets have further spurred the need for accurate gas composition analyses. GC is now commonly used for the monitoring of greenhouse gases, hydrogen purity, and biogas composition, particularly in nations promoting sustainable energy. Along with the increasing use in anti-doping and forensic toxicology, the market is expected to continue growing steadily over the coming years.

Increasing applications of chromatography in food and pharmaceutical testing is also increasing the demand for reagents. The accessories and consumables segment, on the other hand, is anticipated to register the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing need for maintenance and replacement of components such as syringes, septa, liners, and detector parts. Continuous usage of analytical labs causes wear and tear, resulting in repurchases and rising revenues for this category. By End-use: End users such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies held the largest share of the GC market revenue in 2023. This market is primarily dependent on GC for quality control, regulatory compliance and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) analysis. It is frequently used due to the need for highly accurate quantification in drug development and clinical trials. Meanwhile, this end-use segment is evaluated to witness the fastest growth rate over the forecast timeframe. Increasing biopharmaceutical research activities, stringent FDA regulations, and rising investment in the field of biologics and biosimilars are fueling the use of gas chromatography in pharmaceutical and biotech companies, which is the fastest-growing application segment.

U.S. Steel shares slip as Nippon Steel faces Trump's hurdle over control
(Reuters) -Shares of U.S. Steel dipped in premarket trading after a Nippon Steel executive told the Japanese Nikkei newspaper that its planned acquisition of the company required "a degree of management freedom" to go ahead, after President Donald Trump said he would exercise "total control" over the U.S. steelmaker. The comments signal that last-minute discussions continue regarding the structure of the deal, which was opposed by then-U.S. President Joe Biden and Trump when it was first proposed. Trump said on Thursday that the U.S. will have "a golden share" in U.S. Steel. "It's 51% ownership by Americans," Trump said while speaking to reporters at the White House. He did not provide details on how the arrangement would be structured. The $14.9 billion deal was first announced in December 2023 to opposition across the U.S. political spectrum, and has run a long, uncertain route in the year-and-a-half since. U.S. Steel shares fell 4% in premarket trading on Friday. Trump's public comments, ranging from welcoming a simple "investment" in U.S. Steel by the Japanese firm to floating a minority stake for Nippon Steel, have created confusion. Last month, Trump told reporters the deal still lacked his final approval, leaving unresolved whether he would allow Nippon Steel to take ownership. Sign in to access your portfolio
