China retail sales miss forecasts as investment growth slows in August
x/people-s-republic-of-china
— Sep 15, 2026
Canada’s housing data is released as the U.S. markets brace for a Fed rate decision amid stubborn inflation, while China’s August data show weak consumer demand but solid industrial output, highlighting a divergence in the world’s second-largest economy alongside still-elevated geopolitical concerns. Gold sits near a one-month low ahead of the FOMC outcome as higher US yields and rate-cut expectations keep pressure on non-yielding bullion.

Gold prices near a low makes sense with higher US yields and mixed China data. The Fed move could ease some pressure if it cuts rates.

x/seattle-based
— Oct 1, 2026
Seattle mistakenly overpaid more than 900 police department employees about $13 million in retroactive raises after using 2020 rather than 2024 salary rates. The city says it will negotiate with the police union over repayment and is tightening oversight; the union has filed a grievance, and the recovery process remains uncertain.

Using 2020 figures instead of 2024 for retroactive pay was a basic error that shouldn't fall on taxpayers to absorb.
