Business news today is framed by the passing of Alan Greenspan at 100, closing a chapter on an era when central banking became a dominant force in markets and economic policy, even as his legacy remains contested in the shadow of the 2008 crisis. Markets are also watching diplomacy, with Vice President JD Vance saying U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland are making strong progress, including a reported agreement to let IAEA inspectors back into Iran and keep the Strait of Hormuz open—two developments with clear implications for energy prices and global trade. In India, West Bengal’s new BJP government has unveiled an interim budget built around jobs, infrastructure and women’s welfare, signaling an effort to pair growth with political delivery. And for income-focused investors, Invesco’s latest BulletShares bond ETF distributions offer a quieter reminder that, beneath the headlines, yield remains in focus.
