The first weekend of June had a greater number of mass shooting deaths in the United States than the previous three-day weekend, which ended with Memorial Day

Chilling stats, at least 17 people were killed over the weekend and 62 injured.

The most notable violence this weekend took place in Philadelphia’s south street entertainment district.

Journalist Ernest Owens lives in Philadelphia and says Polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans support restrictions on firearms.

However, Republican lawmakers feel they will pay a steep political price for enacting change.

Charlie Kirk united GOP grassroots through social media and activism, but his death raises questions about future leadership.

Charlie Kirk transformed the Republican grassroots movement by fusing social media reach with in-person activism, turning Turning Point USA into a cultural and political force.

His bold campus debates, viral online presence, and close alliance with Donald Trump energised young conservatives and boosted GOP turnout.

With his assassination, questions now loom over who can continue his unique blend of digital influence and grassroots organising.

Dollar steady ahead of Fed’s expected rate cut decision on Wednesday

In Short:
– The U.S. dollar stayed stable as investors await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut announcement.
– Asian equities rose, with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index hitting a record high amid U.S. market gains.

The U.S. dollar remained stable on Monday as investors await the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting, where the central bank is expected to announce its first interest rate cut in nine months.

Trading volumes were low due to a holiday in Japan, causing currencies to remain rangebound.

Market participants have largely priced in a 25 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate, anticipated to bring the key rate to between 4.00%-4.25%.

This marks the first easing action since December 2024.

Recent economic data indicates a cooling labour market, with jobless claims rising to the highest levels since 2021, overshadowing inflation concerns.
