Episode notes
Easier Rights for Disabled Students
- The Supreme Court made it easier for students with disabilities to sue for damages by adopting a deliberate indifference standard.
- This standard is easier to prove but still requires evidence of neglect or bad faith by schools.
Oil Prices Sensitive to Middle East Conflict
- The main economic impact of Israel's strikes on Iran will be on oil prices, which spiked about 10%.
- Markets’ initial reaction was mild; the economy can absorb oil prices if they stay around $70-$75 per barrel.
Fed Holds Rates but Watch Guidance
- Expect no interest rate changes at the Fed meeting this week as it remains steady on policy.
- Watch for Chairman Powell’s language for hints of earlier rate cuts this year than markets currently expect.
