Here's your midday brief for Friday, September twenty fifth.
What is the legal significance of the appeals court upholding the Pentagon’s security‑risk label on Anthropic?
I'm Alex Osala for the Wall Street Journal. A federal appeals court has upheld the Defense Department's decision to designate Anthropic a security risk. The court said that Defense Secretary Pete Heggseth had the latitude to take the action against Anthropic. The court said the company's refusal to have its AI tools used in mass surveillance or autonomous weapons could undermine military operations. The ruling today marks a win for the Trump administration in its complicated feud with one of the nation's top artificial intelligence developers. The US dollar is looking strong again.
Why is the U.S. dollar gaining strength again and what factors are driving its recent rally?
Through yesterday, the WSJ Dollar Index posted its longest winning streak since May. The index is ticking down this morning, but it's still around its highest level since July. The dollar has been under pressure for a lot of the year because of US policy risks like President Trump's trade war. Now the expectations for more rate hikes over the next year are lifting it. Higher rates tend to boost the dollar since they make assets that are denominated in dollars more attractive to investors. Meanwhile, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index dropped to forty-eight point one in September. That's down from fifty-one point seven in August. Consumers' inflation expectations rose, including a small increase in the predictions of long term inflation.
How did the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index change in September and what does it mean for the economy?
Federal Reserve officials watch inflation expectations closely. When consumers expect prices to rise a lot, that can change their behavior, and that makes it even likelier that prices will keep rising. And we have a lot more coverage on the WSJ's What's News.

Think all wealth managers are the same? Fisher Investments is clearly different.
What role do inflation expectations play in Federal Reserve policy and consumer behavior?
As a fiduciary, Fisher always does what's best for its clients. They don't sell commission-based investment products or make commissions on trades. Their fees are structured so they do better when clients do better. That might be why many of their clients come from other wealth managers.
