There is the Kim Jong Un burnished by North Korea’s propaganda machine: He is smiling. Then there is the Kim Jong Un who remains hard to untangle: He harbors a reputation for being cutthroat against those who cross him — even his own family members. It is an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance that we are seeing coming out of Kim Jong Un at this time.” But the North “and its young leader Kim Jong Un are not crazy. “Anyone that approached him had to do so with Kim Jong Il’s express written perm

The White House on Sunday defended President Donald Trump’s decision to invite Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to Washington, saying his cooperation was needed to counter North Korea, even as the administration faced human rights criticism for its overture to Manila. Trump issued the invitation on Saturday night in what the White House said was a “very friendly” phone conversation with Duterte, who is accused by international human rights groups of supporting a campaign of extrajudicial kil

Wynn Resorts stock is up more than 3 percent intraday after Macau’s April casino gross gaming revenue rose 16.3 percent, ahead of analysts’ consensus for 15 percent growth. Also, shares of MGM Resorts and Las Vegas Sands were each up more than 1 percent apiece. In August, the $4.1 billion Wynn Palace casino resort opened in the Cotai area of Macau.

Wall Street’s “fear gauge” did something it hasn’t done in more than 10 years. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) hit a low of 9.90 during trading Monday, its lowest level since February 2007. The index fell to that level even after President Donald Trump told Bloomberg News just before 1 p.m. EDT that he was “looking at” breaking up the big banks. The major U.S. stock indexes, led by bank stocks, declined suddenly on Trump’s remarks before rebounding in a volatile trade. The index broke below 10 f

Chevron CEO: US has become oil market’s ‘swing producer’ in the short run 11 Hours Ago | 04:22Chevron CEO John Watson on Monday warned that U.S. shale oil alone cannot meet the world’s growing appetite for crude.

Investment in oil exploration a

Despite the old adage “sell in May and go away,” two experts told CNBC on Monday they were doing the opposite. “I’m still looking at stocks and if I see something I want to buy, I’m going to buy it.” Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott, is also a buyer right now. “The thing that would worry me at this point is if I thought we were entering a recession,” he told “Closing Bell.” With the Federal Reserve expected to raise interest rates a couple more times this yea

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney told reporters on Monday that President Donald Trump would sign a spending bill that avoids a government shutdown when he receives it on Thursday or Friday. At a White House briefing, Mulvaney said that while the legislation did not include funding to build a wall along the U.S. southern border with Mexico, it did have $1.5 billion for border security.

But even as Spicer spoke, TheHill.com reported that the number of Republican House members who have stated they will oppose the bill is 22. That’s the maximum number of defections the GOP can have, given the fact that all Democrats in the House are expected to vote against it. Earlier Monday, National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, during an appearance on CBS, predicted the bill would pass this week. That is despite the fact that Republicans, who for years campaigned on promises of fully r

It is “unlikely” that there will be a comprehensive tax reform bill anytime soon, Carlyle Group co-founder and co-CEO David Rubenstein told CNBC on Monday. Instead, he anticipates tax cuts. Among other things, it would reduce the number of income tax brackets and slash the corporate tax rate to 15 percent from 35 percent. However, Rubenstein thinks the likelihood of no longer allowing an interest-rate deduction is “relatively remote” because it would “affect so many different businesses around t

First, is tax reform. This will be the most sweeping tax reform we’ve ever had. Make sure we have proper regulations,” Mnuchin said in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Alley.” The last time the U.S. economy grew at a rate of at least 3 percent was in the third quarter of 2016. The economy has not achieved growth of more than 3 percent for any year since the last recession ended in mid-2009.

Dick Kovacevich: Breaking up the big banks would be a mistake 9 Hours Ago | 04:25President Donald Trump said he is considering breaking up big banks, but former Wells Fargo chairman and CEO Richard Kovacevich thinks “it would be a mistake.” “You can’t depend on any one sector, and when you become concentrated you have a very high possibility of failing sometime in the future.” He added that “it’s the worst thing [Trump] can do,” and he hopes the president will reconsider. Trump does not unilater

The dollar was boosted as long-term Treasury yields soared to multi-week highs after Mnuchin reiterated his view in an interview with Bloomberg, saying the government issuing debt exceeding 30-years in maturity “can absolutely make sense.” “The dollar is moving in tandem with Treasury yields, which saw its benchmark rise above the 2.3 percent threshold with Mnuchin seemingly very enthusiastic about issuing so-called ultra long-term bonds,” said Yukio Ishizaki, senior currency strategist at Daiwa

Asian shares advanced on Tuesday, helped by rising optimism on the technology industry and easing concerns over North Korea, while the dollar edged up to a one-month high versus the yen. Firmer equities discourage the buying of non-interest-paying bullion, which is priced in dollars.
