Well, let's look ahead at the events that are
short of markets. Tomorrow. Fed chair Jerome Powell
is set to testify before the House Financial Services Committee
for two days starting tomorrow to deliver the central bank's
semi annual monetary policy report. Likely there will be
a question on the fed's decision to pause those rate
hikes. But anything that we can glean from the
path forward on inflation and the economy and rates will
be of keen interest to the stock market and investors
. And the World Economic Forum is going to announce
its annual global gender gap report tomorrow. The annual
report is designed to measure gender equality and assess how
well countries are doing in regards to resources and opportunities
. Well, last year's report indicated it's going to
take 132 years to close the gender gap way too
long. And tomorrow marks the 75th anniversary of the
vinyl LP. Take a look on June 21st of
1948 Columbia Records introduced the micro groove 12 inch 33
and a third R PM vinyl LP. It revolutionized
Dr playback by extending the playing time by more than
20 minutes per side. Previous attempts by other labels
had failed. But Columbia's format became the first successful
launch, leading to the birth of the modern vinyl
LP. The inaugural recording on this format was Mendelsohn's
violin concerto performed by the Philharmonic symphony orchestra of New
York. And tomorrow, it's official the summer solstice
. What's considered to be the longest day of daylight
of the year. If you are in the northern
hemisphere, summer will officially start at 10:57 a.m. Ok
. Less than 24 hours away. I'm ready for
summer. I'm just going to say it. I
hope you are too.
