Royal Caribbean cruiser warns of big mistake that cancels cruises

The Cannes Lions Festival, typically a glitzy celebration of creativity in advertising, became the unlikely stage for a very public corporate breakup this year. Two major industry players—who've been quietly feuding for months—turned what should’ve been a champagne-soaked networking event into a tense showdown. Think passive-aggressive keynote speeches, awkwardly avoided after-parties, and plenty of whispered gossip among attendees.

Air India’s CEO, Campbell Wilson, is under fire after his video message responding to a recent plane crash appeared to closely mirror remarks made by American Airlines' CEO following a similar tragedy months earlier. Critics are questioning the sincerity of his statement, suggesting it was recycled rather than heartfelt.

Walmart, often seen as a bit old-school, is shaking things up to compete with slicker online rivals. They’re dropping billions on flashy upgrades—like a fancy new HQ to lure top talent and experimenting with drone deliveries. Oh, and they’re even stocking luxury items (yes, Louis Vuitton bags in the same aisles as cereal) to appeal to a hipper crowd. Basically, they’re trying hard not to be your grandma’s Walmart anymore.

Israel has reportedly launched a strike on Iran’s Isfahan nuclear facility, escalating tensions in the region. Meanwhile, President Trump is considering deeper U.S. involvement, dismissing European-led ceasefire talks as ineffective. This move signals a potential shift toward direct confrontation rather than diplomacy.

The Federal Reserve’s Mary Daly suggests that a potential interest rate cut is more likely to happen in the fall rather than sooner. She explains that by then, policymakers will have more economic data to work with, and businesses are signaling they’d prefer clarity before any changes are made.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t a dramatic shift, but it’s a signal that the Fed is playing the long game. Businesses and markets are hungry for certainty on borrowing costs, and Daly’s comments hint that the central bank won’t rush a decision—good or bad news depending on who you ask. If you’re hoping for cheaper loans or a market boost, you might need to wait a few more months.
