Every Western automaker is scrambling in response to the growing dominance of faster, more advanced Chinese competitors, but Stellantis stands apart: Instead of trying to beat them, it's joining forces with them.

Why it matters: The company's expanding ties with Chinese partners could be a practical survival strategy — or a desperate sign of surrender by the maker of Jeep, Ram, Fiat and Peugeot vehicles.

Stocks are offering pretty skimpy returns when stacked up against government bonds — at least according to one key Wall Street metric.

Why it matters: The current low level of what's known as the "equity risk premium" suggests that the stock market might not be the best place to put cash to work right now.

Demand and prices for luxury homes are rising faster than for middle-market houses — which still feel increasingly out of reach to most people.

Why it matters: This is the K-shaped economy in action, a thriving upper class and everyone else stagnating or falling.

• The rising stock market and AI boom are driving a lot of this.
