Why the Market's Silver Lining Has a Cloud
Good news abounds but—to reverse the cliché—every silver lining has a cloud. Investors at the moment are delighted: The economy hasn't been trashed by tariffs as previously feared. Stocks have soared. And earnings are coming in better than predicted. Everything seems great. The clouds, however, are being ignored. Three issues should be worrying investors, and plainly aren't, as I noted in Streetwise at the weekend: the economy, stock valuations and politics. In short, the effect of tariffs might only just be starting to be felt, with more to come. It took longer than expected, but could still be bad, especially if the economy also slows. Stocks are close to their highest valuations ever, making them vulnerable to any bad news. And the Trump administration has attacked apolitical statistics and an independent central bank, both things investors like.

Rain forecast improves for New Orleans: "You got lucky"
The forecast has improved for New Orleans, with less rain expected from the tropical system in the Gulf, the National Weather Service says. Why it matters: It's good news for a region with flood-prone streets and neighborhoods. The big picture: As of 2pm Thursday, most rain bands from Invest 93L have stayed along Louisiana's coast, with only a few showers reaching the city. "You got lucky," said NWS meteorologist Mike Efferson. Pierre Part, a town about 1.5 hours west of the city, had nearly 11 inches of rain as of 2pm Thursday, he said. New Orleans East and the West Bank had hot spots with more than 4 inches of rain, he said, but most places in the city had less than 2 inches as of Thursday afternoon. Between the lines: No street flooding was reported as of Thursday afternoon in New Orleans or Jefferson Parish, according to parish officials and Streetwise. Gov. Jeff Landry canceled his public update Thursday, citing the improved forecast. Zoom in: New Orleans is now only supposed to get about 1.5 to 2 inches through Saturday. The totals for worst-case scenario have also dropped to 4-6 inches from the previous forecast of 8-10 inches, NWS said Thursday. All of Southeast Louisiana remains under a flood watch until 1am Saturday. Zoom out: Invest 93L was moving inland over Southeast Louisiana as of 1pm Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said. What's next: Government buildings in New Orleans are expected to reopen Friday. Jefferson Parish's buildings remained open all week.

A safeguarding scheme is set to provide a "friendly face" to vulnerable young people who need support during the TT period, the coordinator of the project has by St Christopher's, which supports those in care, the Streetwise initiative was expanded in 2024 to include everyone under the age of at a base near the Douglas Promenade war memorial until 8 June, its members will be on hand to help young people who finds themselves in a vulnerable Taylor said staff had previously helped teenagers with issues ranging from lost bus fares and stolen belongings to safeguarding concerns. He said with up to 50,000 visitors to the island across the festival fortnight helping to create a "tremendous atmosphere" there was "a lot of temptations for young people".The service has been backed again this year by Manx Care, the police and the Douglas City Council. Mr Taylor, who is also head of children's residential services at St Christopher's, said the risks facing young people during the TT could be "challenging" but the service offered a "safe place". "Our key message is, 'if something happens to you, there's people available who can support you'," he of Douglas Steven Crellin said Streetwise was a "brilliant community initiative that's there for our young people when they need it most". "It's had a clear and positive impact on children and families across Douglas and it's great to see so many local organisations working together to make it happen," he charity's representatives, which will also patrol the area in hi-visibility tabards, would be available between 18:00 and 02:00 BST each day.
