The ad was made by Good Good Golf and approved by Callaway before release.

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller criticized the U.S. Treasury Department’s plan to expand buybacks of government bonds. He said this move tries to artificially influence the bond market, and the effect on bond yields was temporary.

Druckenmiller argues the Treasury’s plan interferes with natural market forces.
The comments appeared in an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal.
Bond yields are important because they affect borrowing costs for the government and others.

A study of about 165,000 employees in over 73,000 U.S. companies found that the benefit of working remotely on job satisfaction disappears when factors like workplace culture, trust in managers, communication, chances to grow professionally, and pay are considered.

The study involved nearly 165,000 employees.

Renting a small home is still cheaper than buying one in major U.S. cities, but fewer rental homes are available. Many Americans now rent in large apartment buildings instead of single-family homes, which are becoming harder to find and more expensive to own.
Key Facts
In July 2026, the median monthly rent for 0-2 bedroom homes in 50 large metro areas was $1,695, down slightly from last year.
Buying a starter home in the same areas costs about $2,553 per month, which is $858 more than renting.
Only 13.7% of single-family homes in the U.S. are rented, the third lowest level recorded.
Large apartment buildings have the most rental units, with 12.1 million units in 2024, the highest on record.
Since 2021, large apartments surpassed single-family homes as the main rental option for many Americans.
Multifamily homes (buildings with 20+ units) have been built faster than single-family homes since the Great Recession and during the pandemic.
High mortgage rates (about 6.65% nationally) are keeping many current homeowners in their homes.
Starter homes are less common today, making up only 7% of new home construction in 2019, compared to 40% in the 1980s.

Meanwhile, the UK government sold seven-year bonds at yields not seen since 2002, indicating higher borrowing costs. In the US, car parts maker First Brands Group went into liquidation after a bankruptcy court rejected its restructuring plan.

Gold prices rose to a three-month high because traders worry about US inflation and bond market problems.
The UK government sold £3.9 billion in seven-year bonds at a yield of 4.761%, the highest since 2002.

The US Treasury Department recently intervened to calm the US bond market amid global bond sell-offs.

Two planned datacentres in England are expected to produce more carbon emissions than ExxonMobil’s total UK emissions. Experts warn this could harm the UK’s climate goals, as these datacentres will use a lot of power and some plan to run on their own gas-fired power stations.
Key Facts
The Wapseys Wood and Quest Park datacentres will use 1.3 gigawatts of power and produce over 4.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
ExxonMobil’s UK emissions in 2023 were 3.9 million tonnes.
There are 315 datacentres waiting to connect to the UK electricity grid, which would demand 73 gigawatts—almost twice the UK’s peak winter energy use.
Due to delays in connecting to the grid, the two datacentres plan to build their own gas power plants on-site.
The government says the emissions estimates are misleading because they assume the datacentres operate at full capacity from the start.
Critics argue that it is reasonable to estimate emissions at full capacity since that is the goal for these datacentres.
The government claims there are ways to meet climate targets despite datacentre growth, but uncertainty remains.
The two datacentres are being fast-tracked by the government, bypassing local planning, which has raised concerns among campaigners and politicians.

Data centers in the U.S. are receiving massive investments, mainly from big tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, to support AI development. This growth creates challenges such as competition for resources, strain on the electrical grid, and political debates about their construction.
Key Facts
The top five large tech companies plan to spend over $750 billion on data centers this year, a 67% increase from last year.
About 75% of this spending is for AI-related infrastructure.
Data centers require a lot of physical resources like land, cooling systems, and energy, leading to competition with other industries.
Utilities expect electric demand to increase six times more by 2030 than previously thought, mainly due to data centers.
Political leaders on both sides support limiting or pausing new data center projects because of concerns about jobs, environment, and energy use.
There are around 4,000 data centers in the U.S., with 580 classified as very large "hyperscale" facilities.
In early 2026, about 75 data center projects worth roughly $130 billion were delayed due to political reasons.
