Home price hikes are slowing more than expected
Rising supply and slowing demand in the housing market are finally causing prices to cool off, and the weakness is accelerating.
Home prices nationally rose just 2.7% in April compared with the previous year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index released Tuesday. That is down from a 3.4% annual increase in March and is the smallest gain in nearly two years.
The report is slightly backdated, as it is a three-month running average of prices ended in April. Other more current readings of the market, such as one from Parcl Labs, shows prices nationally are now flat compared with a year ago.

Oil tumbles for a second day, loses 6% as Iran-Israel ceasefire eases supply concerns
Oil prices tumbled for a second day Tuesday, as the market bet that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran would hold and the risk of a major crude supply disruption had faded.
U.S. crude oil settled down 6% at $64.37 a barrel, while the global benchmark Brent fell 6.1%, to $67.14. Prices closed 7% lower on Monday after Iran did not target energy infrastructure in response to the U.S. bombing its key nuclear sites.
Earlier Tuesday, President Donald Trump said China can keep buying oil from Iran, in what seemed like a sign that the U.S. may soften its maximum pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic.

Depleted Strategic Petroleum Reserve Ignored: U.S. Exposed to Middle East Chaos
20 June 2025 by Bob Bishop 32 Comments
XTelegramVKFacebookEmailCopy LinkShare
About two years ago, Sonar21 released an article detailing how the Biden Administration tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to reduce oil prices and bolster the faltering economy, a move aimed at gaining political advantage during the 2022 midterm elections. Biden released approximately 260 million barrels rapidly, potentially damaging the aging salt caverns through deformation and shrinkage. In 2000, the SPR office estimated that the facilities had a remaining life span of twenty-five years, assuming routine maintenance.
Assuming refiling the SPR at three million barrels a month, it would take a staggering seven years to replace the 260 million barrels. Refilling at one million barrels per day to cut the refill timeline to under a year would pose a significant logistical challenge and cause oil prices to rise sharply. Given the current Middle East geopolitical risks and probable oil supply disruptions, time has run out.

Watch: Bibi Warning Iran Nuclear Bomb Capability ‘Imminent’ – Spanning 30 Years
According to a Tuesday CNN report issued as bombs fly between Israel and Iran, US intelligence assessed that Iran was not actively pursuing nuclear weapons ahead of last Friday’s Israeli attack and, even if it chose to, it would take up to three years to develop and deliver one.
This of course directly contradicts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s justification for launching the major airstrikes on Iran, which have continued and intensified, based on claims that Iran was close to obtaining a nuclear bomb.
Israel has been framing it as ‘preemptive’ – but even this term presumes that a foreign enemy was imminently about to attack, and thus preemptive action needed to be taken.

Trump’s $499 smartphone will likely be made in China
The Trump Organization’s newly announced smartphone will likely be made in China, experts say, despite claims that the device will be manufactured in the U.S.
Owned by U.S. President Donald Trump, the company on Monday announced the T1, a gold-colored device which it said would retail for $499. The smartphone will run Google’s Android operating system.
The Trump Organization says the phone will be “built in the United States” — but experts note the phone was likely designed and would be manufactured by a Chinese firm.

Iranian mines in the Straits of Hormuz could shut down a fifth of oil flows in a week
Iran has somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000 naval mines, according to US intelligence estimates, which it could use to block the Straits of Hormuz and halt the flow of a fifth of the world’s oil traffic in a week.
An analysis written by bne IntelliNews’ sister publication Newsbase, which covers global energy issues, concluded that Iran could seed the straits with mines at any time of its choosing. Gulf oil production for export would stop almost immediately after Tehran declared that Hormuz was mined. As the storage facilities in the Gulf are limited, as the buffers back up, oil producers that depend on the ports on the Gulf to export crude would have to cap their wells and stop production.

The History of La Réunion: A Failed Utopian Colony in Texas
La Réunion.The colony known as La Réunion was located on the south bank of the Trinity River in central Dallas County, just north of Interstate Highway 30 and within the present city limits of Dallas. It was founded by Victor Prosper Considérant, one of the leading democratic socialist figures in France and director of an international movement based on the philosophical and economic teachings of François Marie Charles Fourier. Considérant planned for the colony to be a loosely structured communal experiment administered by a system of direct democracy. The participants would share in the profits according to a formula based on the amount of capital investment and the quantity and quality of labor performed.

Wave Of USAF Tankers Depart America Amid Escalating Israel-Iran Conflict
Israel’s ongoing military campaign, Operation Rising Lion, has conducted coordinated precision strikes against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, crude oil export terminals, and high-value IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) targets since late last week. The scope and sequencing of these strikes—outlined in a Wall Street Journal op-ed in October 2024—suggest objectives that go well beyond deterrence, aiming instead to pave the way for regime change in Tehran.

An elemental issue
China controls roughly 90 percent of the rare-earth materials used in high-tech manufacturing, but the United States, Australia and Japan are exploring new sources that could end the Chinese monopoly.
The U.S. military is facing a potential crisis at the very bottom of its supply chain. Rare-earth elements have become the new oil, playing a major role in the technological advancements made in the last 50 years. Everything from GPS navigation capability, cell phones, fiber optics, computers, automobiles and missiles relies heavily on rare-earth elements for development and production. For example, according to a 2013 report from the Congressional Research Service, each F-35 Lightning II aircraft requires 920 pounds of rare-earth materials. Rare earths, including yttrium and terbium, are used for laser targeting and weapons in combat vehicles.
