Hamas Vows to Free Last American Hostage in Gaza Amid Ceasefire Talks
Hamas has announced plans to release Edan Alexander, the last known American hostage in Gaza and a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen, signaling potential progress in ceasefire negotiations with the U.S. and renewed hope for peace. The move comes ahead of President Trump's Middle East trip and amid mounting international pressure to end the war. While no release date was given, Israel confirmed the U.S. had relayed Hamas’ intention to free Alexander unconditionally. Mediators Egypt and Qatar praised the decision as a step toward restarting talks on hostages, aid, and border access. The war, sparked by Hamas’ October 7 attack, has since claimed tens of thousands of lives on both sides.
Powell’s Warning Deflates Rate-Cut Hopes as Fed Stays Cautious
Bond traders are dialing back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts after Chair Jerome Powell signaled no urgency to ease monetary policy amid persistent inflation and economic uncertainty. Markets now anticipate only modest cuts starting in July at the earliest, with some investors hedging against no cuts at all this year. Key economic data, including April’s CPI and ongoing U.S.-China trade talks, could shift expectations further. Powell warned that Trump’s proposed tariffs may drive inflation higher and complicate the Fed’s path. Treasury yields have climbed as Wall Street recalibrates its outlook in a volatile, data-dependent environment.

4Lock In 4.41% APY: Today’s Best Money Market Account Rates (May 11, 2025)
Money market account (MMA) rates remain a smart way to grow your savings, with top accounts offering up to 4.41% APY—far above the national average of 0.63%, according to the FDIC. Although the Federal Reserve’s 2024 rate cuts have begun lowering deposit yields, high-yield MMAs still offer strong returns for now. For example, a $10,000 deposit in a 4% APY MMA could earn over $400 in interest in a year. With rates likely to dip further, now’s the time to compare top MMA options and secure the best returns while they last.
