Bond Yields, Iran, ICE Extradition and Election Day

Bond Yields Send a Fiscal Warning I explain why decade-high bond yields could push mortgage rates higher and signal deep concern about bipartisan government spending. Washington's fiscal addiction is pulling investment away from the private sector and making life more expensive. Iran, Oil and China's Struggling Economy I explain why I believe Iran was responsible for attacks on two ships, including one that left a sailor dead. I also argue that fully enforcing restrictions on Iranian oil could put additional pressure on both Iran and China. Minnesota and Texas Face an ICE Extradition Showdown I break down Minnesota's effort to extradite ICE agent Christian Castro from Texas over charges connected to a nonfatal shooting during an enforcement operation. The dispute could become a major court battle over federal authority and state prosecution. I'm Watching Critical Elections in Three States I examine election contests in Alaska, Wyoming and Florida, including the unusual Alaska Senate ballot and the Republican primary involving Cory Mills. These races could help determine whether Republicans are positioned to hold key seats in November.
