Brussels – The victory of Andrej Babiš in the Czech parliamentary elections is not good news for Brussels, but it will depend on the final shape of his government, analysts contacted by ČTK stated. The Czech ex-prime minister co-founded a political faction called Patriots for Europe with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and is often compared to him; however, according to Brussels experts, Babiš is not such an ideologue or a strongly eurosceptic strategist, but rather a pragmatic politician. This could suggest that there may not be a radical shift in Czech foreign policy. “The victory of the ANO movement…

We won’t have the BLS series for private NFP as of Friday. Can we use the ADP-Stanford Digital Laboratory series (which missed consensus by 84K on the downside) I think the answer is yes…and no. As noted by other observers, the month-on-month correlation of ADP and BLS series is low. However, the quarter-on-quarter is fairly high. A regression of BLS series on ADP series (3 month log differences) yields: Over this period, the q/q growth rates are highly correlated, and have roughly unit elasticity.

I think that in the second half we reacted.…

In 2013, then-businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump shared his vision on Fox News about the role a president should play in a shutdown: “You have to be nice and be angry and be wild and cajole and do all sorts of things, but you have to get a deal.” Now as president, Trump has taken a different approach. After failing to reach a bipartisan agreement, he mocked Democrats by posting an expletive-laced video generated by artificial intelligence and set to mariachi music falsely showing U.S. Rep.
