Bond traders are positioning to hedge against the possibility that the Federal Reserve begins cutting interest rates in 2027, according to Bloomberg. These dovish bets contrast with recent moves in the Treasury market, where yields on long-dated bonds have risen to multiyear highs — a dynamic attributed to expectations that a Fed remaining on hold would keep inflation running above its target for a prolonged period. Bloomberg's Ven Ram reports on the divergence between the hedging activity and prevailing Treasury market trends.

Health policy experts and lawmakers are raising alarms about the condition of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a federal agency focused on patient safety, healthcare quality, and care delivery since the 1990s. According to an opinion piece published in the Annals of Internal Medicine by health policy experts Aaron Carroll and David Atkins, DOGE-related cuts during the second Trump administration have eliminated roughly 75 percent of AHRQ's staff. In July, the agency sent grant cancellation notices to approximately 150 researchers, with more than 100 grants worth over $250 million canceled in total. Despite Congress appropriating $345 million for fiscal year 2026, only $15 million has been directed to grants. Carroll and Atkins report that scientists in more than 30 states have halted research, laid off staff, and shut down programs as a result. The authors warn that the damage extends beyond lost data to the erosion of the next generation of health services researchers, and they call on Congress to intervene. They describe the agency's survival through the current administration as 'an open question.'
Keywords: RFK Jr., healthcare research, US research agency, healthcare policy, government administration

President Trump announced a three-day pause on a proposed 50% tariff on certain Canadian goods, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Writing on his Grumpy Economist blog, economist John Cochrane uses three recent news items to argue against idealized visions of government regulation, particularly as applied to AI governance. The first item is California's antitrust lawsuit to block an Ellison-Paramount acquisition of Warner Brothers, which Cochrane characterizes as politically motivated rather than grounded in genuine consumer-protection concerns, citing the political dynamics surrounding FTC approval. The second is a $1.4 trillion multi-state lawsuit against Meta over alleged misrepresentation of social media's harms to teen mental health; Cochrane is skeptical of the framing and critical of what he views as opportunistic litigation. The third item is Phillips 66's announced $6 billion pipeline to ship gasoline from Texas to California, which Cochrane presents as a costly consequence of California having largely shut down its own oil production and refining, now importing 75% of its fuel. Drawing these together, Cochrane argues that calls for policymakers to 'steer' AI should be assessed against how politicians, regulators, and lawyers actually behave—as illustrated by these three cases—rather than against an idealized, apolitical technocratic model he says does not exist in practice.
