Sur les autres, plus d’une centaine de camions s’entassent. Sous un ciel encore obscurci, les forains sont sur le pied de guerre. Ils s’apprêtent à bloquer le périphérique jusqu’à 21 heures. Après plus d’un an de négociations infructueuses avec la mairie de Toulouse, aucun emplacement n’a été trouvé pour la fête Saint-Michel, qui a dû d’emménager après 10 ans d’installation temporaire au Zénith....

The latest piece from the New York Magazine offshoot is headlined: “King Charles’ Reign of Bustle Begins,” which comes just days before the Queen’s funeral, which is scheduled for Monday. The article points to reports that Charles had two “outbursts” in the days following his mother’s death. One was the report that he stormed out of a signing ceremony in Northern Ireland when a pen leaked on him, and another was when he “queued and whistled at palace aides who failed to move a tray of pens from his table with due haste....

What the sellers are slowly realizing is not just that the Fed will be hawkish in September after the latest shocking inflation rate, but that the central bank will have to keep interest rates higher for longer. The British pound GBPUSD, -0.68% viewed by some as a proxy for financial market conditions, fell to its lowest level since 1985 against the U.S. dollar on Friday, moving below $1.14. In a new note to clients, Goldman Sachs chief markets economist Dominic Wilson and global markets strategist Vickie Chang ran the numbers on what it would mean if the Fed were to take a more hawkish path than the market is predicting ....
