Delta's yield sat below 1% for much of the past decade, barely blinking until the COVID crash sent shares tumbling in early 2020. That panic spike saw yields shoot toward 8% as the stock price collapsedan eye-popping moment nobody wanted.
Then yields plummeted through 2021 as the airline battened down the hatches. Fast-forward to 2023 and beyond, Delta quietly crept back in with a low-single-digit yield, reflecting its cautious comeback.
Now, after this week's 25% boost, the forward yield nears 1.6%, signaling renewed confidenceeven if it's still modest by historical standards.

China's Rare Earth Magnet Exports Slump in May, Especially to US
(Bloomberg) -- Supply Lines is a daily newsletter that tracks global trade. Sign up here. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' One Architect's Quest to Save Mumbai's Heritage From Disappearing JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads NYC Congestion Toll Cuts Manhattan Gridlock by 25%, RPA Reports Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown Chinese exports of rare earth magnets slumped further in May, with shipments to the US showing an especially steep drop due to the trade war with Washington. Rare earth minerals, and the products that use the elements, have been at the center of the dispute since early April, when China imposed export controls in retaliation for punitive tariffs levied on Chinese goods. The two countries have since sought to reset relations, culminating in a meeting in London in early June, which prompted US President Donald Trump to declare that issues around rare earths had been resolved. China accounts for about 90% of the world's rare earth products, most of which are magnets, and whether it allows supplies to flow more freely after the agreement reached in London will be a key focus for governments and markets in the weeks and months to come. Chinese customs data on Friday showed the extent of the impact on supplies of rare earth magnets in particular, an item vital for high-tech industries from carmakers to defense contractors. The controls have affected sales to all countries, with China's total exports roughly halving in April, and then halving again in May, to 1,238 tons. That comes to about $60 million, the lowest-value month in data going back to 2015, barring February 2020 and the onset of the pandemic. The US portion by volume in May was just 46 tons, less than one-tenth of the magnets it imported in March. Other countries including Vietnam, host to a number of Chinese companies, and Germany saw their supplies hold up much better. Those two countries were the top destinations last month, accounting for 19% and 17% of sales, respectively. --With assistance from James Mayger.

Ramit Sethi Tells Parents What They Should Never Say To Their Kids About Money: 'Your Kids Will Absorb It'
Children mirror their parents. The way parents act and speak will influence what their children become, and this truth branches out into all areas of your children's lives. With that in mind, financial guru Ramit Sethi revealed what parents should have said to their kids about money. Making this mistake can cause your children to endure financial hardships and have a more difficult time growing their careers. "Your kids will absorb it," Sethi said. Sethi shares what you shouldn't do and offers some suggestions of what you can do to make your kids confident with their finances. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Peter Thiel turned $1,700 into $5 billion—now accredited investors are eyeing this software company with similar breakout potential. Learn how you can Sethi says that you should never use this phrase in front of your children. Saying it once is bad enough, but if you repeat it, your child may develop negative thoughts about money. For instance, your child may view money as a scarce resource and feel like it's difficult to get ahead in their career. If your child has a successful career, they may avoid spending money in general, even when spending it would be a good thing. Children will look at your actions and words as guidance, whether it's for the best or for the worst. Make sure you are very careful about how you speak about money and working hard to achieve goals. Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . One of the concerns Sethi brings up is that kids who hear that their parents can't afford anything may be reluctant to spend money, even when they have more than enough. While saving money is a good habit, Sethi is against having millions of dollars in the bank and never tapping into it. He believes that people should aim to live rich lifestyles. That doesn't mean you go out and buy luxury cars and designer bags that you can't afford. It simply means being smart with your money but giving yourself some flexibility to make discretionary purchases that make you happy. For instance, he's against impulsive spending and buying things that don't make you happy. However, if you have wanted to go to Hawaii for more than a decade, he's the type of financial guru who would encourage you to make that trip once you have saved enough money. He's an advocate for frugal spending, which means being tight with how you spend money but being flexible with spending money on things and experiences that meaningfully boost your long-term happiness. However, he's against being cheap, which is the equivalent of a millionaire fasting for the sole purpose of reducing their grocery that your kids will absorb what you say gives you a great advantage. While some families talk about the things they can't afford, you can flip the script. Instead of saying that you can't afford something, you can teach your children valuable lessons about prioritizing how they spend money and building toward long-term financial goals. Serving as this type of mentor for your child can help them become more successful than you when they get older. You can encourage them to build good financial habits and explain what you are doing to move closer to your long-term goals. It's okay to talk about money with your children. Doing so can help them in the long run. However, parents talk with their children about money whether they know it or not. Your child will notice things like what quality of life you accept, how you feel about asking for a raise or leaving your current job for a better opportunity, and if you invest money. Being more intentional about how your children think about money can inspire you to work toward long-term goals, boost your income with side hustles, and attain a higher standard of living.

Tesla and Google's Robotaxis Still Really Aren't That Autonomous
Tesla's impending robotaxi service comes with a whole list of caveats you'll need to agree to before you huddle into the backseat of its autonomous vehicles. Or, perhaps they're not really that autonomous. The first Tesla Model Y Cybercab services will be limited to select participants (including Tesla influencers), but even then drivers can expect to have a 'safety monitor' in the driver's seat. This may be a remote individual making sure the cars don't cause any vehicular snafus, but it also shows just how limited Tesla's initial rollout will be. As first noted by Electrek, there are a whole heap of other parameters Tesla's self-driving guinea pigs will need to endure. They're restricted to a geofenced area in Austin, Texas, that does not include airports. Drivers can only get a ride between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. The limited areas and times for operation are likely a result of limiting possible run-ins with other drivers and needing the monitor to be awake and aware enough to deal with the car's odd behaviors. A few years before its robotaxi arm went belly up, GM's Cruise caught flak for employing similar remote monitors who were there to help the cars navigate complicated conditions. Tesla has given me permission to share the parameters of use for their Model Y Robotaxi service, starting this Sunday June 22nd in Austin, Texas. The Early Access phase is invitation-only. Parameters of Use: • You must read through and agree to the attached Terms of Service,… — Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) June 20, 2025 Google's Waymo robotaxi service has been expanding rapidly across the country. In Austin, it employed drivers in Waymo cars for the first six months before letting the vehicles operate independently. New Yorkers who thought they were safe from the autonomous vehicle invasion can't be complacent anymore. Waymo declared this week it intends to bring a fleet of autonomous vehicles to NYC streets, though for full-scale operations it needs to upend the city's traffic laws and somehow figure out how to deal with New York's congested streets and downright hostile drivers. At first, all Waymo cars will have an actual flesh-and-blood human behind the wheel. That's because the NYC Department of Transportation has to issue a permit for any company looking to operate self-driving cars and sets limits for how they can operate within city limits. Current laws also bar a full-scale autonomous vehicle operation without a 'vehicle operator' present should the car go haywire, but that's where Google's lobbyists come in. Alphabet—the parent company of all the various Google brands like YouTube and Waymo—said it was 'advocating for changes to state law to allow us to bring our fully autonomous ride-hailing service to the city one day.' The company won't be in New York 'full time,' but the obvious intent is to bring the same level of service currently derided in San Francisco to New York. The Bay Area hit Waymo with close to 600 traffic citations in 2024. The approximately 300 Waymo cars on San Francisco streets are known to occasionally block traffic and park in prohibited areas. While the self-driving ride-hailing company claims it has fixed issues where the cars would hit emergency service vehicles, the cars have become controversial in Angeltown for weird glitches, like several events where an entire parked fleet of Waymos blared their horns for hours into the night. After numerous recalls, Google's robotaxis are supposedly improving constantly, but the lingering question is whether they're getting better fast enough to merit their rapid expansion to cities all over the U.S. New York rules require companies to 'self-certify' their vehicles are safer than human drivers. If you've ever spent five minutes on the Belt Parkway in south Brooklyn and Queens, you'll understand that's not a high bar to reach. On the flip side, New York's streets are incredibly complicated to navigate. Since last October, it's no longer illegal to jaywalk in NYC, and you'll often see people threading through traffic at or nowhere near a crosswalk. New York City streets are constantly constrained with double-parked cars and construction. Autonomous vehicles do much better on streets without complicated intersections or roadwork. You'd be lucky to make it two blocks in New York without encountering either of those. Autonomous vehicles won't reduce traffic. These automated car services will only induce demand for more cars. Even if you have qualms about New York's congestion pricing, it's proved the only thing to reduce traffic congestion in one of the most constrained cities in the world. As noted by urban planning advocate group Strong Towns, the only two things that governments can adjust to reduce congestion are the amount it costs to drive and the time the trip takes. Transit advocates have close to a century of data that proves adding more lanes to roads—even those specific for autonomous cars—merely induces demand for more cars. Waymo's real objective is to put as many Waymos on city streets as possible. All that does is replace today's pugnacious NYC driver with an idiotic computer that may get confused by a single traffic cone. If New York opens its doors to one autonomous car maker, others like Tesla would be sure to follow.
