Britain's stubbornly high inflation rate fell by less than expected last month and a closely watched measure of core price rises surged to a 31-year high, according to official data that raised the chances of more interest rate hikes.
Consumer prices rose by 8.7% in annual terms in April, down from 10.1% in March but still leaving Britain with the joint highest rate of inflation among Group of Seven advanced economies alongside Italy.

Is there some ETF for the Short term treasury yields (2 year for example), that will substantially rise in price if the yields come down?
I saw some short term treasuries ETFs but they barely change their price and do not bring capital gain. I need something like TLT or even TMF that will give me a capital gain, but only for the short term treasuries.
Than you
Hello everyone.
I bought into T and 3M around the begging of COVID and stupidly didn't sell even with the looming problems of both companies.
My problem is I want to downsize my portfolio and inject that cash into vusa or split it between my other holdings.
Does anyone actually have any faith left in these companies or is it time to let go? I've tried to average down as much as I can but I don't see much light at the end of the
Starbucks in 2023 alone has closed 150 stores in the US. In the last 12 months Starbucks has closed 424 US stores which is 5% of total. Today there are 9000 Starbucks stores in the US down from 11300 in 2020. Over the last 2 years the company has lost $3.2B because of the pandemic, inflation, supply issues and shortages of key ingredients. As of February 2023 its debt stands at $14.3B . Last quarter it raised prices by 5%. And on July 2023 it will raise prices a
Inflation stayed stubbornly high in April, potentially reinforcing the chances that interest rates could stay higher for longer, according to a gauge rel
This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on fundamentals, but if fundamentals aren't your thing then just ignore the theme and/or post your arguments against fundamentals here and not in the current post.

Hello, a little over ten years ago, my uncle bought Apple stock in my name. He did this for all of the cousins, but for varying companies sort of “tailored” to each of our interests. Anyway, at the time, I didn’t understand it so didn’t place a lot of value in it.
Fast forward ten years. Every month I get a very small dividend check (less than $0.60). To be honest, I haven’t done anything with them.
I’m looking at my latest statement and I want to
Hey y'all, I'm a semi-noob to investing, as I've only invested in Robinhood stocks (until I lost my money - although I eventually got it back from a hack...).
Anyways, I'm wondering, what the best investments are?
I finally have some money saved and was thinking of either investing into something like VOO or S&P 500.
I believe they both have a 10 year average compound return of about 9.8% which seems pretty decent.
I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Either a daily indicator that gives me the total value (tick-by-tick) of all transactions on the ask (buy) - bid (sell). Example: "(3 buys @ 2.50) - (2 sells @ 1.75) = 7.50-3.50 = $4 on X day, $3.50 on Y, $6 on Z, etc... Or even an absolute value would be helpful. 7.50 + 3.50 = $11 worth of transactions that day, $8, $7, etc... The idea being that daily_volume*avg_daily_price doesn't account for the spr
When it comes to Option contracts, who is the market for those Calls and Puts. What type of person purchases at those prices?? Is it a institutional market or people legit trying to exercise them immediately? i.e if I purchase a Call contract for say $9 per contract and it rises up to in Nvidia’s case upwards of $80+ per contract , and I decide to close it before expiration and sell it. Who is buying it?? Who is the consumer or purchaser of these exorbitant opti
