Gold slumps to near $4,450 as strong US jobs data reinforce higher-rate bets
Gold price (XAU/USD) fell to around $4,450 during the early Asian session due to rising expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise interest rates this year. Stronger than expected US jobs data suggested a resilient US labor market, which could prompt traders to raise bets that the Fed will keep interest rates higher longer. This has led to higher inflation expectations, pushing yields across the curve higher and prompted markets to begin pricing in a Fed hike in late 2026. Markets are now pricing in nearly a 42% chance of a Fed rate hike in December. The focus will now be on the US employment report later on Friday, which is expected to show a gain of 85,000 jobs in May while the Unemployment Rate will remain steady at 4.3% during the same period.

Cardi B Seeks Over $110,000 in Legal Fees from Blogger Tasha K for Settlement Violations
A federal judge will decide if gossip blogger Tasha K should pay Cardi B more than $110,000 in legal fees after she allegedly violated a non-disparagement agreement tied to a $4 million defamation judgment. The dispute stems from a 2022 defamation trial where a federal jury awarded Cardi $4m after Tasha made false claims about the rapper's drug use, STDs, and prostitution. Following the verdict, Tasha proposed a bankruptcy repayment plan in 2023 to cover Cardi's $1.2 million over five years, contingent on her agreement to cease making any disparaging statements about Cardi or her family. However, in April 2024, Cardi alleges that Tasha violated the non-Disparagement clause through social media posts and radio show comments concerning Cardi’s estranged husband, Offset, and NFL player Stefon Diggs. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali ordered Tasha to cover the legal costs Cardi incurred to monitor Tasha's compliance across platforms including YouTube, X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. The final ruling on the fee request will depend on a written response from Tasha.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has found use-of-force issues and sanitation concerns at an ICE detention facility in Louisiana. The findings follow an unannounced inspection by the DHS Inspector General, who reviewed video of use of force incidents and found that the officer who stabbed a detainee with a pen was disciplined.

'Huge Win for the Constitution' as House Finally Passes Iran War Powers Resolution
The US House of Representatives has passed a war powers resolution aimed at ending Donald Trump's illegal war against Iran, with a vote of 215-208, with seven legislators not voting. The resolution, introduced in April by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing troops to military action and limit such action to 60 days, unless lawmakers declare war or issue an authorization for the use of military force. Since the start of the war, over 3,400 Iranians have been killed and over 26,000 others wounded by airstrikes, while Iranian counterattacks have killed 13 US troops, 26 Israelis, and over 20 people in Gulf Arab states aligned with the US. Civil society groups have applauded the vote, calling it a "total rebuke of Trump".

FCC launches sweeping review of $3B school internet subsidy program over screen time concerns
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is launching a review of its school internet subsidy E-Rate program due to concerns that increased screen time in schools may be contributing to declining academic performance. The program provides roughly $3 billion annually in discounts for internet access and related connectivity services for eligible schools and libraries. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the review is necessary at a time when screen time use has surged at schools, particularly since COVID. The review is also intended to empower parents who may have limited awareness of how technology is being used in their children's classrooms. The FCC is set to vote on whether to formally open the review and seek public comment on potential changes to the program.
