Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it. Inflation is killing me. But who cares? Big retailers are making record profits. That's why we support the Durbin Marshall credit card bill. See? Banks and credit unions help small businesses make payroll. This bill would cut the vital resources they need. While increasing megastore profits. They deserve it, don't they? Tell Congress, stop the Durbin Marshall money grab for corporate megastores.
Paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition. Here's your morning brief for Monday, February 23rd. I'm Daniel Bach for The Wall Street Journal. Mexico's military killed the country's most powerful drug kingpin, Nemesio Mencho Oseguera. He was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, and the U.S. had placed a $15 million bounty on him. His killing marks the most significant operation yet in Mexico's recent crackdown on cartels, and sparked a wave of violence across the country, including a near shutdown of Mexico's second-largest city, Guadalajara. President Trump said over the weekend that he would increase a global tariff to 15% that will replace many of the duties ruled illegal by the Supreme Court on Friday.
Trump said the new level up from 10% would take effect immediately. Meanwhile, many CEOs spent the weekend holed up in company war rooms as they try to figure out what the latest developments mean, if billions in paid levies can be reclaimed, and how to proceed without ruffling feathers in the Trump administration. And more than 9,000 flights scheduled for yesterday and today have been canceled due to a major winter storm hitting the U.S. East Coast, with Boston and New York airports affected the most. According to the National Weather Service, very heavy snowfall and strong winds will continue to batter the Northeast today. Asian stocks ended the day mostly higher, European stocks are mixed in midday trading, and U.S.
stock futures are down as uncertainty over the latest twists in U.S. trade policy weighs on investors. And we have a lot more coverage of the day's news on the WSJ's What's News podcast. You can add it to your playlist on your smart speaker or listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
Enterprises are already creating efficiencies with agentic AI, particularly in areas like finance, HR, and IT, says Jason Gerzades, CEO of Deloitte US.
Those will continue to proliferate and strengthen, and it'll change the work that gets done, and work will increasingly be delivered through agentic capabilities.
Gerzades believes the most transformative impacts of agentic systems are still to come.
It will fuel innovation. It will fuel the pivot into market creation, market diversification strategies that will open up new markets to clients and to organizations who are looking for growth and looking for differentiated access to new markets, which I think is the most exciting thing.
