We saw weaker thereasury yields last week. The 10year treasury at 4. 7 . The 2year treasury at 5. 07. Meantime, israel and hamas denying reports of a ceasefire to allow Foreign National palestinians to cross the border to egypt from gaza. Today, the temporary border was an supposed to allow temporary aid to enter. It is unclear if the border will open. Last night, President Biden spoke on 60 minutes and warned of the mistake they would make of occupying gaza. We are going to do everything within our power to find those who are still alive and set them free. Everything in our power. Im not going to go into details of that. Were working like hell on it. Senator Chuck Schumer visiting israel over the weekend. He posted on x that the delegation was rushed to the shell toter to await out rocket fired.

Charles schwab leading the s p after its earnings and well preview more results and get the trade from goldman and b of a and thats coming up with Earnings Exchange. Lets get a quick check on the markets where stocks are higher across the board although the dow is 100 points below the session highs and very similar for the s p, up 46 or so to 4373 and the nasdaq a similar move. The tenyear yield back up to 7 and its interesting to see that not exert more pressure and 471. 6 and the 30year nearing the 4. 9 level witness again.

Is that Police Officer coming . Its been a while. We also have a this is something i am interested in what the data says. There might be a possible mitigation of calls from 311 and that was introduced in 2007 and effort to promote that and as time went on and people moved into the city we might have migration of people calling us instead of 311. Sir, just a quick question for you. Do you see the transition of more repeat calls, do you see that going from non emergency, non emergency to emergency calls . Thats anecdotally what my staff tells me. I am trying to find ways of putting some numbers behind that and seeing what the trend is. Okay.
