Vivek Ramaswamy, Labor Day Gas Prices, & Rate Cuts A’Comin’ 08/26/24

Former Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is now a surrogate for the Trump campaign. 70 days before the election, Ramaswamy takes on Democratic nominee Harris’ economic agenda, and calls for her to give an unscripted interview to mainstream media. Ahead of Labor Day, GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis Patrick de Haan says fuel prices will likely stay low and get lower by the weekend, in many states below $3 per gallon. Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell clearly signaled an interest rate cut in 2024, and Kroger and Albertsons are going to court to defend their merger, under FTC scrutiny. Plus, Elon Musk’s SpaceX might step in to help astronauts stranded by Boeing’s Starliner.
