AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Markets Watch: Investors are warning Wall Street hasn’t fully priced in the danger of surging bond yields, after 30-year Treasuries pushed above 5% and 10-year notes topped 4.5%, leaving equities caught between strong earnings and rising inflation fears. Energy & Cost Pressure: Democrats are reviving a “Big Oil” windfall tax plan aimed at easing gas prices as drivers feel the pinch during the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Education & Opportunity: Durbin and Wicker reintroduced a bipartisan bill to expand study abroad for underserved students, while NAEP is set to add more state-level results in math, reading, civics, and science. Rhode Island Health & Local Economy: East Providence Medicaid claims for alcohol and drug abuse treatment hit $1.49M in 2024, and BankNewport’s spring grants topped $470,000 for nearly 50 nonprofits. Sports: Boston Cannons routed Philadelphia 19-5 in Pawtucket, with Marcus Holman scoring four.
