But we saved everything 🙂.

Barraud has recently commented on changing central bank policy, noting that U.S. Federal Reserve officials are signaling an end to the era of rate cuts. Earlier this year, he published a set of key financial charts for week 13 of 2026 that tracked trends in stocks, inflation, and technology. These previous updates provide additional context for Barraud’s latest assessment of corporate margins.
