I learned the toxic truth about my idyllic childhood camp... are your children at risk too?
On my wall hangs a photo of a seven-year-old me in a small yellow sailboat with my father beside me, holding lines while I steered the boat. It was the start of many years of sailing on the Toms River and Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, where I spent summers in an idyllic small town surrounded by family. As a child, I didn't question the absence of fish, the scum lining the shore or its faint foul odor. For eight years, I swam in a river that had once been a toxic dumping ground for a plant owned at the time by Ciba-Geigy, a chemical company that churned out dyes, plastics, and adhesives seven miles northwest. The toxic waste from Ciba-Geigy's plant was later linked by state health officials to a cluster of childhood cancers - over 100 cases in around 15 years - just a few miles from my grandparents' house. A flood of toxins seeped into the area's groundwater and sickened hundreds of children. State health data has since shown that, for decades, every glass of water filled in Toms River carried trace amounts of toxic chemicals. Not many people were aware of the dumping. According to my dad, who grew up in a small town next to Toms River, 'We didn't know anything about it until it came out later with the cancer cluster. 'I remember when it was just rumors and everyone was like it couldn't be, everyone loves Ciba-Geigy.' When Ciba-Geigy opened in 1952, it revived Toms River's economy with hundreds of jobs. A long-time Toms River resident, Summer Bardia, told her Uncle Ed, who worked at Ciba-Geigy for 10 years, 'would come home and he'd sweat out the different colors that he was working with that day.' 'My Uncle Ed knew something was wrong, as did his co-workers at the plant,' Bardia said. 'He took his clothes off and got into the shower as soon as he got home from work.' Ed developed rare bladder cancer, brain tumors, and dementia. While she can't prove it, Bardia said the connection between her uncle's workplace exposure and his diseases seems undeniable. Dye production uses several cancer-linked chemicals, and EPA investigations found the company's runoff contained suspected or known carcinogens like benzene, chromium, lead, arsenic and mercury. It also uses tetrachloroethene (PCE), which has been shown to double bladder cancer risk and raise risk of nervous system cancers, and trichloroethene (TCE), which raises leukemia risk two to five times. For decades, the company dumped toxic wastewater into unlined pits, allowing carcinogens linked to bladder, brain, and kidney cancers and leukemia, to leach into the groundwater and flow into Toms River. Under pressure from outraged residents of Ocean County, Ciba-Geigy stopped dumping waste in lagoons, instead pumping it 10 miles offshore, until a 1984 pipe rupture spewed black sludge. By the mid-1970s, the town saw a disturbing spike in childhood cancers. Before merging into Toms River, Dover Township recorded 90 childhood cancer cases over 17 years—far above the 67 expected. Leukemia in young girls stood out, with seven cases instead of the expected 2.7. In Toms River, 24 cases were recorded where just 14 were expected, including 10 in young girls, most of which were brain cancer and leukemia. The toll was worst among preschool girls. Brain cancers were at least 10 times the normal rates and leukemia rates were eight times the national baseline for girls that age. Scientists confirmed these weren't random flukes. The data matched patterns near other toxic waste sites around the US. The Ciba-Geigy campus was designated a Superfund site in 1983. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried for the kids in towns along the river beginning their sailing programs every summer and the older long-time residents who still love to sail. I would also be lying if I said I didn't feel a bit of trepidation when I turn on the faucet at my grandparents' house, where the water has a slightly odd smell. I ask myself now if it's due to old metal pipes or a remnant of corporate wrongdoing. The plant shut down all operations in 1996. The chemical company BASF acquired it in 2009, inheriting all clean up responsibility. The EPA oversight has shrunk Toms River's toxic plume, but full cleanup is years away. Alec Boss, communications and outreach coordinator for the activist group Save Barnegat Bay, called cleanup efforts 'woefully inadequate.' Contaminated groundwater is being pumped out, treated, and discharged back into the ground. Boss told 'Imagine that you come up to a pond filled with this horrible pond scum and nasty bacteria, you get a cup of this dirty pond water and one of those iodine tablets that you would take if you were going camping, and you put that in that cup and you clean up that water, and then you just dump that back into the pond. 'That's essentially what they're doing.' Diane Salkie, EPA's remedial project manager for the site, told members in a webinar that 'we've probably gone down about 40 percent, maybe there's about 60 percent [of the toxic plume] remaining, but that's very ballpark.' However, the ocean is much cleaner now, Bardia said. 'I love jumping in those ocean waves. I love bringing my family and friends and showing them how clean the ocean is now, looking at all the dolphins and the whales and the rays.' The river is cleaner, too. I've noticed when I go back to Island Heights it's bluer and I no longer see foam at the shoreline. Ocean County still suffers high cancer rates, with 524 cases per 100,000 compared to the state average of 474 per 100,000. The national rate is still lower at about 444 cases per 100,000. A statement from BASF said: 'We want to be clear that a significant amount of work has been done over the past 30 years, and the US EPA has determined that the site currently poses no risk to human health and the environment. 'BASF will continue to work with the US EPA and NJDEP until all federal and state requirements are met. While US EPA has stated that full remediation of the groundwater plume may take several more years, this is typical of larger groundwater cleanup efforts.' But the EPA-supervised cleanup only treats the former plant site, not the broader community's toxic burden. Bardia said: 'What about the rest of Toms River? What about the area around the pipeline? What about all those backyards with all that soot that landed on people's homes and yards? 'I don't want to scare people away, but I want them to know that this fight is still going on.'

Gold price today, Tuesday, July 29, 2025: Gold opens below $3,315
Gold (GC=F) futures opened at $3,313.40 per ounce Tuesday, up 0.1% from Monday's close of $3,309.10. Tuesday's starting price represents gold's lowest open since July 9. Investors seem largely focused on the opportunity in stocks. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) reached new highs Monday after the U.S. confirmed a trade deal with the EU. Key reports due this week may fuel — or temper — the bullish sentiment on stocks. The Fed meets on interest rates Wednesday, and June's personal spending report and PCE index, an inflation measure, prints on Thursday. Four Magnificent Seven stocks also report earnings this week: Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta. Demand for gold can moderate when stock prices rise, since many investors will move to take advantage of the gains. Current price of gold The opening price of gold futures on Tuesday is up 0.1% from Monday's close of $3,309.10 per ounce. Tuesday's opening price marks a decline of 2.9% over the past week, compared to the opening price of $3,411 on July 22. In the past month, the gold futures price has declined 0.2% compared to the opening price of $3,318.70 on June 27, 2025. In the past year, gold is up 39.4% from the opening price of $2,377.30 on July 29, 2024. Don't forget you can monitor the current price of gold on Yahoo Finance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Want to learn more about the current top-performing companies in the gold industry? Explore a list of the top-performing companies in the gold industry using the Yahoo Finance Screener. You can create your own screeners with over 150 different screening criteria. How to invest in gold Investing in gold is a four-step process: Set your goal. Set an allocation. Choose a form. Consider your investment timeline. Today, we're delving deeper into step 2, setting the appropriate gold allocation. After determining your investment goals for buying gold in the first place, next comes understanding how much to buy. Learn more: How to invest in gold in four steps Allocation is the composition of your portfolio across different types of assets, such as stocks, bonds, and gold. Setting a target allocation for each asset type helps you control risk over the long term because asset values change over time. Stocks appreciate, for example. Unless you periodically rebalance your holdings to restore the target allocation, the appreciation can leave you over-concentrated in equities. Scott Travers, author of 'The Coin Collector's Survival Manual' and editor of COINage magazine recommends holding 5% to 15% of your net worth in gold. Other experts advise going as high as 20% if you are risk-tolerant. A review of gold's historic behavior in light of your risk appetite should help you identify the right allocation percentage. Yahoo Finance video: Safe-haven assets: Breaking down what you need to know Count your jewelry Remember, too, that your target allocation includes the value of the gold you already own. Travers recommends checking your jewelry box before buying more gold. Given gold's sharp rise in value over the past 12 months and more, your gold jewelry may be worth more than you think. Travers warns against selling your jewelry to buy gold coins because you will pay dealer fees on both transactions. Price-of-gold chart Whether you're tracking the price of gold since last month or last year, the price-of-gold chart below shows the precious metal's steady upward climb in value. Historic price of gold Historically, gold has shown extended up cycles and down cycles. The precious metal was in a growth phase from 2009 to 2011. It then trended down, failing to set a new high for nine years. In those lackluster years for gold, your position will negatively impact your overall investment returns. If that feels problematic, a lower allocation percentage is more appropriate. On the other hand, you may be willing to accept gold's underperforming years so you can benefit more in the good years. In this case, you can target a higher percentage. The precious metal has been in the news lately, and many analysts are bullish on gold. In May, Goldman Sachs Research predicted gold would reach $3,700 a troy ounce by year-end 2025. That would equate to a 40% increase for the year, based on gold's January 2 opening price of $2,633. Rising demand from central banks, along with uncertainty related to changing U.S. tariff policy, are the factors driving the increase. If you are interested in learning more about gold's historical value, Yahoo Finance has been tracking the historical price of gold since 2000.

Live updates: Trump, UK prime minister to meet at start of big week for economy
President Trump will meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for 'wide-ranging talks' on Monday in Scotland. Fresh off Trump's trade deal with the European Union, announced Sunday, Trump and Starmer are expected to discuss implementation of the U.S.-U.K. trade deal, agreed to in May, the prime minister's office said Sunday. The struggle to reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, along with the hunger crisis in Gaza, as well as the war in Ukraine, are also on the table. Trump's five-day visit to Scotland is a mix of business — trade talk ahead of Thursday's White House deadline for tariff deals — and pleasure, with the president taking in his golf courses. In Stockholm on Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent starts the next round of trade meetings with China. Looking even beyond tariffs, a flurry of economic activity this week makes it a significant one. The Federal Reserve announces its next interest rate decision on Wednesday. Between Tuesday and Thursday, the government will release consumer confidence insights, second-quarter GDP data, details on job openings, and the Fed's preferred inflation measure, the PCE index.

Wall Street Week Ahead: Spotlight on Fed rate decision, earnings from Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Apple, Amazon
Wall Street in the week ahead will receive plenty of economic data, Big Tech earnings, and the US Federal Reserve's fifth interest rate decision of the year. The economic calendar will see the release of data such as jobs report, second quarter GDP (Gross Domestic Product) numbers, personal income and spending data, PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) Index, and S&P manufacturing PMI report among others. For the Q2 earnings, investors will closely watch financial results from tech giants Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Apple, and e-commerce giant Amazon. On the monetary policy front, market participants were keenly awaiting the interest rate decision from the Federal Reserve, which is widely expected to hold it steady. Post-rate decision, Jerome Powell's press conference will be heavily scrutinized amid enormous criticism from US President Donald Trump. On Friday, Trump said that he believed that Fed Chair Jerome Powellmight be ready to lower rates. He made a rare visit to the central bank on Thursday after calling Powell a "numbskull" earlier in the week for failing to cut rates. On July 29 (Tuesday), separate reports on advanced US trade balance in goods for June, S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index (20 cities) for May, consumer confidence for July, job openings for June will be released. On July 30 (Wednesday), separate reports on ADP employment for July, GDP Q2, pending home sales for June, FOMC interest rate decision will be declared. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference is also scheduled on Wednesday. On July 31 (Thursday), separate reports on Employment Cost Index Q2, personal income and spending for June, PCE Index for June, and Chicago Business Barometer (PMI) for July will be released. On August 1 (Friday), US employment report for July, S&P final US manufacturing PMI for July, ISM manufacturing for July, construction spending for June, consumer sentiment (final) for July, and TBA Auto sales for July will be released. Following companies are due to report second quarter results in the week ahead — Waste Management, Nucor, Visa, Procter & Gamble, UnitedHealth, Boeing, PayPal, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Qualcomm, Robinhood, eBay, Apple, Mastercard, Exxon Mobil, and Chevron. data-vars-page-type="story" data-vars-link-type="Manual">US stocks ended higher and dollar firmed on Friday ahead of a big week for market risk. The S&P 500 gained 26.73 points, or 0.42%, to end at 6,390.08 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 53.95 points, or 0.26%, to 21,111.90. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 213.74 points, or 0.48%, to 44,907.65. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.38% from 4.43%. The 2-year Treasury yield held steady at 3.91%.

Here are the 4 big things we're watching in a busy week ahead for the stock market
Buckle up. It's a jam-packed week ahead, with a host of influential companies set to report alongside a Federal Reserve meeting — and, if that wasn't enough, there's fresh inflation and jobs data, too. On top of all that, we'll keep a close eye on any trade deal headlines ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline set by the Trump administration. In particular, we'll be watching for any agreement with the European Union. U.S. and Chinese officials are also set to meet in Sweden for another round of trade talks. Last week, the U.S. trade deal with Japan helped push the S & P 500 to record highs. Now, here's a closer look at what to expect in the week ahead from the Fed, the week's economic data releases and Club earnings. 1. Fed: Despite President Donald Trump 's pressure campaign, the central bank on Wednesday afternoon is widely expected to keep its benchmark overnight lending rate steady in the range of 4.25% to 4.5%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool . Instead, the question on investors' minds is whether a cut at the Fed's September meeting is on the table, so they'll be listening for whether Chairman Jerome Powell lays the groundwork for that during his typical post-meeting press conference. We don't expect Powell to change his tune about the Fed's data-dependency in making policy decisions, even in the face of Trump's criticism. On that note, we want to hear how Powell characterizes the resiliency seen in the labor market — initial jobless claims have dropped for six straight weeks, for example — and the inflation trends. While Trump's tariffs haven't yet led to a dramatic upturn in inflation, recent reports are showing a slight uptick , and there's a belief that U.S. companies absorbing the tariffs can only do so for so long before needing to raise prices. As of Saturday, the market put 62% odds on a quarter-point cut in September. Before the Fed's decision Wednesday, we'll get the first reading of second-quarter gross domestic product, which could be discussed during Powell's press conference. 2. Inflation: After the Fed's meeting concludes, tariff effects will stay in the spotlight thanks to the release of the June personal consumption expenditures price (PCE) index on Thursday morning. This is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, despite the consumer price index (CPI) garnering more attention. There are some differences in the way the two gauges are calculated — particularly on housing and health-care inputs — but what stays the same is that investors are looking for tariff-related signs of inflation. For example, in the June CPI report tariff-sensitive categories like furniture and apparel showed outsized increases. For the PCE, economists polled by Dow Jones expect a 0.3% month-over-month increase and an annual rate of 2.5%. On a core basis, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, the Dow Jones consensus is for a 0.3% monthly gain and 2.7% annual increase. 3. Jobs, jobs, jobs: The big labor market event of the week is Friday's nonfarm payrolls report for the month of July, offering Wall Street a look at the pace of hiring in the face of trade policy uncertainty. As mentioned earlier, the U.S. labor market has continued to defy expectations for a material slowdown. For July, the consensus is that the U.S. economy added 102,000 jobs and the unemployment rate edged up to 4.2% from 4.1% in June, according to Dow Jones. Revisions to the prior months reports are something to watch. Ahead of Friday's release, we'll get the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey on Tuesday. The so-called JOLTS measures the amount of slack in the labor market, carrying implications for wage inflation. On Wednesday, payroll processing firm ADP releases its monthly look at private hiring — but, as we once again saw with the June data, it's not predictive of what the official government report will say. Thursday morning will bring the latest batch of first-time filings for unemployment insurance, known as initial jobless claims. Will it be seven weeks in a row of declines? One area of weakness in recent jobs data has been continuing claims, which suggests that while layoffs are going in the right direction, it's taking people time to get rehired. 4. Earnings: There are seven Club names reporting in the week ahead. All revenue and sales estimates provided below are courtesy of LSEG. Starbucks kicks off the action Tuesday night, and investors will be searching for additional signs of progress in CEO Brian Niccol's revitalization efforts. In its mostly disappointing April earnings report, Niccol had good things to say about the roughly 700 stores where it was piloting staffing and deployment changes. We hope that continued, with the benefits spreading to more cafes across the country. The FactSet consensus is for Starbucks to report its sixth straight quarter of same-store sales declines, at minus 1.3%. While necessary to turn the business around, Niccol's investments aren't cheap, so we don't expect strong profitability metrics this quarter, either. We do, however, hope that management is mindful that telling investors that earnings per share isn't a great metric to judge the turnaround may not go over well. Analysts expect total revenue of $9.31 billion and earnings per share of 65 cents. Meta Platforms reports after the close Wednesday. An expensive question on investors' minds: How much has Meta's spending spree on artificial intelligence talent cost so far? In April, the Instagram parent lowered its total expense guidance to $113 billion to $118 billion, down $1 billion on both ends of the range. Will that need to be revised higher? Similarly, will Meta's capital expenditures guidance of $64 billion to $72 billion be adjusted to account for higher spending on AI chips and data centers? The continued strength of Meta's social media ad business — and how that's driven earnings-per-share growth — has quelled concerns about aggressive AI spending. This time around, the market is looking for Family of Apps revenue to increase 14.8% on annual basis, according to FactSet. Total revenues are expected to be $43.84 alongside EPS of $5.91. Joining Meta on Wednesday night is fellow tech giant Microsoft , which is reporting its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter results. The most important line item is the growth of the cloud-computing business Azure, and the AI services contributions to that expansion. Last quarter, Azure grew a better-than-expected 35% on a constant-currency basis, with AI being responsible for 16 points of growth. For the June period, the FactSet consensus for Azure is growth of 34.9% (there's no estimate for AI, specifically). Overall, analysts expect Microsoft to report earnings per share of $3.37 on revenue of $73.81 billion. Microsoft's capex commentary for its fiscal 2026 will also be note of note, carrying implications for leading AI chipmaker Nvidia and the likes of industrials such as Eaton, which supplies electrical equipment for data centers. The current consensus is for capex of $73.9 billion in fiscal 2026, according to FactSet. We'll also listen for any updates on the contract renegotiations with frenemy OpenAI, which is seeking greater independence from its early benefactor. Bristol Myers Squibb will report results on Thursday before the open. Sales of Cobenfy, the company's new schizophrenia treatment, will be a key watch item for investors. We're also interested to hear about other potential indications for Cobenfy, such as its use in the treatment of Alzheimer's psychosis, with late-stage trial data expected later this year. The initial response that Bristol Myers is seeing to its recently announced plan to sell blood-thinning medication Eliquis directly to patients through its Eliquis 360 support program will also be something to watch out for during the conference call. Analysts may also ask about Cristian Massacesi joining as its new chief medical officer. The Street is looking for earnings of $1.07 per share on revenue of $11.38 billion. Apple joins the parade of tech earnings after the bell Thursday. After the March quarter saw a "pull-forward" in iPhone sales as consumers rushed to beat fears of tariff-driven price hikes, there's a belief that the final two quarters of Apple's September-ended fiscal year will be softer than before. For the three months ended in June, the FactSet consensus is for iPhone sales of $40 billion. A few more questions: Will Apple's high-margin Services business get back on track after a light miss in the March quarter? Did the estimated $900 million tariff impact for the June quarter materialize, and can management shed any more light on its supply chain and artificial intelligence strategies going forward? There's no question Apple has been a frustrating stock this year, but as long as the iPhone remains the best consumer hardware device on the market, there's time to turn it around. Analysts expect total revenue of $89.33 billion and earnings per share of $1.43. Amazon will also report after the bell on Thursday. Revenue growth and profitability at cloud unit Amazon Web Services remains the key metric for investors to watch. On the retail side, we're also interested in more details on how Amazon is leveraging AI and automation in its warehouses and throughout its massive logistics network. Though the four-day Prime Day event won't be reflected in the reported numbers — given it was in July (third quarter) — we're still interested to hear management's commentary on the event, as it will no doubt play into the guidance the team provides. The combination of Prime Day and the back-to-school season stands to support both consumer demand and ad revenue growth in the third quarter. Analysts expect total revenue of $162.06 billion and earnings per share of $1.32. Linde will be out with results on Friday, before the opening bell. We're simply looking for more of the consistency we've come to know and love from Linde. However, outside of the numbers, it will be interesting to see what management has to say about the various industries the company serves. A commentary on how tariffs are affecting demand from customers will also help better inform our view on various sectors of the economy. Also of interest will be management's view on the recently announced long-term agreements to supply the U.S. space industry. As for earnings, last time around, management baked in the assumption of economic deterioration and recessionary conditions. Given the resiliency we've seen since then and the increased clarity as it relates to tariffs, we'll look for the team to revise their outlook for the remained of the year. Analysts are looking for earnings of $4.03 on revenue of $8.35 billion.
