The Kremlin is set to purchase millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea, as the war in Ukraine continues

Experts suggest the deal is a clear indication of how much Russia is suffering from supply shortages, due to both export controls and sanctions.

The U.S. warns the deal will likely be the first of many between North Korea and Russia, with relations between the two nations dating back to the Korean War in the 1950s.

Of course, North Korea has long blamed the West for the current conflict in Ukraine, siding with Moscow.

Meanwhile, as Putin pushes his armed forces to hamper the Ukrainian military’s use of Western-supplied long-range weapons, the U.S. believes the Russian leader has purchased drones from Iran.

U.S. retail sales weaken, raising concerns about consumer spending and economic resilience ahead of the holiday season.

Retail sales in the U.S. have unexpectedly weakened, raising new questions about consumer strength and the resilience of the economy. As Americans pull back on spending, analysts are watching closely to see whether this signals a broader shift toward caution in the lead-up to the holiday shopping period.

The slowdown has amplified uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates, as policymakers weigh mixed economic signals against cooling demand. With some categories falling sharply, economists warn that faltering retail activity could ripple into GDP forecasts and overall market confidence.

Brad Gastwirth from Circular Technologies joins us to break down which categories were hit hardest, why shoppers are becoming more value-conscious, and what this means for the economy heading into 2025.
