Fed's Collins: not enough data by July to decide on a rate cut
June 26 (Reuters) - Boston Federal Reserve Bank President Susan Collins on Thursday signaled she feels July would be too soon to considering cutting interest rates.
'We're only going to have really one more month of data before the July meeting,' Collins told Bloomberg News. 'I expect to want to see more information than that.'
Collins also said she sees no urgency to cut rates and that her baseline expectation, that the Fed will resume cutting rates later this year, "could mean one rate cut, it's possible it means more than that, but I think the data will really need to tell us."

The common question that will make people dislike you, according to to a body language expert
An expert in body language and people skills has revealed one question you shouldn't ask in social situations - as it is likely to make people dislike you. Vanessa Van Edwards is the founder of Science of People, an organisation which 'gives people science-backed skills to improve communication and leadership'. She is also the author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People and Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication. She recently appeared on an episode of Steven Bartlett 's podcast Diary of a CEO, where she spoke about a range of topic - including why you shouldn't fake smile, how to be more charismatic, and the question you shouldn't ask people in social situations. While discussing which questions you should ask people if you want to 'level up' your connection with them, Vanessa also highlighted the one query which she believes is a conversational no-no. She said: 'Stop asking "what do you do?" [...]. That is telling them their brain can stay on autopilot. Asking someone that question is really asking "what are you worth?". 'And if someone's not defined by what they do, it's actually a rude question.' Moving on to what to ask in place of that question, she said: 'You can replace it with "working on anything exciting these days?" or "working on anything exciting recently?" Vanessa explained: 'This is permission connection. You ask someone that question, you are giving them permission if they want to tell you about what they do. "If they are not defined by what they do, they'll tell you something better. 'And that also gives you really good nuggets for the next time you see them, when you can say, "hey, how was that thing you were working on?".' Moving onto how people can follow up that question, she suggested asking 'what's your biggest goal right now?'. She continued: 'When you ask this question, you're gonna get one of two responses. One, someone shuts you down [...] or, they're going to tell you about goals. 'That's also a great thing you can follow up on, because then when you see them a month later, or a week later, or a year later, you can be like, "hey, how did that go?".' Discussing how you can get to know someone better, Vanessa suggested another question you can ask them. She said: '[The question] sounds innocuous, but it's not. 'It's "what book, movie or TV character is most like you and why?". It's kind of a silly, dinner party question that sounds casual, but the answer to this question is so incredibly important. 'How someone relates to characters, their values or personality is how they see themselves, and people's answers will shock you.' Vanessa then gave an example, explaining: 'I was friends with someone for six years. [She was] one of my closest friends, I saw them all the time. 'We went on a weekend trip together [...] and I asked her this question. I hypothesised that she's a mom of three, super funny, super savvy. I was like, "she's going to pick a great TV mom character that's super savvy and funny. 'I asked her, she thinks about it for maybe one second, and says "Katniss from The Hunger Games". 'I was like "the one who's fighting for her life?". 'She replied "yes, that's how I feel every day. And we, for the first time in six years, had a conversation about how she feels about her day that was totally different than anything I had ever known - that she feels scared and lonely, and that she's fighting for survival. 'And it was the first time that I truly connected with her. 'This question [has changed my relationship with so many people] based on how they see themselves, not how I see them, but how they see themselves.'

Eric Trump suggests he could run for president when his father's term ends
Eric Trump has hinted that he or another of the Trump family could run for president when his father's second term in the White House comes to an end. Eric, who is co-executive vice-president of the Trump Organization, said, the road to the White House 'would be an easy one' if he decided to follow in his father's footsteps. In an interview withe the Financial Times, he said: 'The real question is: 'Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?… Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I've lived? 'You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it,' he added. 'And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.' Unlike his other siblings, Donald Jr and Ivanka Trump, the 41-year-old has mostly stayed away from politics, focusing instead on running the family business since his father entered the Oval Office in 2017. However, he seems to have kept one eye on politics this whole time, saying he found himself 'wholly unimpressed by half the politicians' he sees and that he could do the job 'very effectively'. The US vice-president, JD Vance, and the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, are expected to be the frontrunners for the GOP nomination, but when asked if 2024 would be the last election with a Trump on the ballot, Eric Trump said: 'I don't know … Time will tell. But there's more people than just me.' He added: 'The question is, do you want to do it? And do you want to subject the people that you love to the brutality of this system? And I'm not sure if I can answer that question yet.' The president's son also addressed criticism that his family has profited from the presidency. When asked whether the White House has become another means by which is family could make money, he was adamant in his denial. 'If there's one family that hasn't profited off politics, it's the Trump family,' he said. 'In fact, I would sit there and say that we [would have] had many more zeros behind our name had my father not run in the first place. The opportunity cost, the legal cost, the toll it's taken on our family has been astronomical.'

The president's stake in Trump Media & Technology Group is now worth about $2bn on paper, a valuation rivalled by his family's crypto holdings. President Trump received $630m alone last year from a range of products, including cryptocurrency, as well as licensing his name for real estate projects, watches, guitars, and Bibles. According to Eric Trump, the Trump Organization is worth between $8bn and $12bn.
