  • The US and UK have agreed to a trade deal, or at least a trade framework

    1 week ago | sherwood.news | David Crowther

    Buying from Britain is already more expensive, as the dollar has weakened nearly 10% against sterling since January. US stocks were higher in trading on Thursday (SPDR S&P 500 Trust) after President Trump announced a “major trade deal” with the United Kingdom, the first of many big handshake opportunities the US administration will be hoping to deliver in the coming months.

    Looking ahead, American consumers have the “Sunday scaries” on steroids — but they actually aren’t feeling too bad about the present.

  • With operating profit down 45%, the “Back to Starbucks” plans aren’t bearing any fruit yet

    2 weeks ago | sherwood.news | Claire Yubin Oh |David Crowther

    Brian Niccol has a tough gig on his hands, with Starbucks shares dropping sharply after a weak quarter. Starbucks is promising a four-minute wait time for customers to get their grande latte, but investors might have to wait longer for the coffee giant to deliver the results investors were hopinh for when Brian Niccol took the top job at Starbucks in September 2024.
