The Biden administration is imposing new restrictions on firearms exports and increasing scrutiny on transactions to limit diversions of guns to drug cartels, criminal groups, gangs and others, the Commerce Department said on Friday. "The days of exporting military-style weapons to civilians in unstable countries are over," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told Reuters. The department on Oct. 27 issued a pause on most firearm exports to assess the "risk of firearms being diverted to entities or activities that promote regional instability, violate human rights, or fuel criminal activities."
Poland opened an art show Friday to celebrate its only Van Gogh painting, a rare early landscape worth millions that was once hawked by a pedlar for the price of a beer.The small oil painting -- also known as "Farmhouses Among Trees" -- is "interesting for its modesty and for showing a whole different side to Van Gogh," said Agata Smolnicka, co-curator of the Warsaw show.
The U.S. Treasury 10-year term premium, a measure of the compensation investors demand for holding long-term government bonds, has moved back into positive territory this week as yields touched fresh highs on inflation concerns. Term premiums, which can hurt assets such as stocks when they rise, have been suppressed for about a decade amid low interest rates that followed the 2007-2009 global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. They turned positive last year as widening fiscal deficits and higher government bond issuance helped lift long-term Treasury yields, which move inversely to prices.
