Stock prices have generally had a modest reaction to geopolitical risk events, but major events—especially military conflicts—have a disproportionally larger and more persistent effect on asset prices. Geopolitical risk events can adversely affect the stability and intermediation capacity of banks and nonbank financial institutions, such as investment funds, with potential impacts on macrofinancial stability. The impact of these events can also spill over to other countries through trade and financial linkages, increasing the risk of financial contagion. The April 2025 Global Financial Stability Report assesses the impact of geopolitical risk events on prices of financial assets and discusses potential policy measures for maintaining financial
stability.

And because these small plastic particles look like fish eggs, birds eat them with serious consequences for wildlife as much as for human health.
The EU is setting rules to improve how plastic pellets are handled at all stages of the supply chain.
Goal: reducing unintentional releases of pellets into the environment by up to 74%!

I want to wish the Jewish people in America and Israel, and all around the world, a very happy Passover.
Every year at this time, Jewish families celebrate God’s liberation of the ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt, guiding them through the prophet Moses on a forty-year journey to a very, very promised land.
The story of Exodus, which is retold around the globe and all over the world at every Passover Seder, is a reminder not only of the enduring strength of the Jewish people, but of the importance of putting our faith in Almighty God no matter what the circumstance.
To all the Jewish families gathering with friends and loved ones this week, have a blessed Passover, and may God continue to watch over the Jewish people, the State of Israel, and the United States of America.
Thank you very much.
