Behind the Markets editor Kelly Maguire says she has never sent an email quite like this one. A sealed congressional session, two executive orders signed in a single afternoon, and a quiet government stake in a $20 company have pushed Dylan Jovine to release his most urgent briefing yet.
Inside: the day U.S. intelligence has reportedly flagged, a 41-year-old strategy tied to a wave of new millionaires, and growing warnings from the World Economic Forum about a two-tier financial system taking shape.  |
