The US Department of Justice Will Appeal Powell Case Ruling, Potentially Delaying Wash's Appointment
BlockBeats News, March 14th: After a judge rejected a subpoena to the Federal Reserve, U.S. Attorney General Piro pledged to continue the investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Powell, potentially delaying the appointment of Powell's successor Kevin Wash, as Powell's term ends in May.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg stated that the government failed to provide any evidence to support the validity of its subpoena, which was related to the renovation of the Federal Reserve headquarters and Powell's comments on the project. Piro stated: "This process has been arbitrarily disrupted by a radical judge. The process should have been routine, but it wasn't. They are truly shameful."
U.S. Senate Banking Committee member Tillis warned that as long as the Justice Department's investigation of Powell is ongoing, he will block any nomination for Federal Reserve Chair. "This ruling confirms how weak and baseless the criminal investigation of Chair Powell is, which is just a failed attack on the independence of the Federal Reserve," Tillis said. "An appeal will only delay Kevin Wash's confirmation as the next Federal Reserve Chair." (FX168)

BUZZ-Broker Opinion: Levi's explores new growth avenues beyond its jeans business
October 8 – Levi Strauss (LEVI.N) shares fell about 4% in early trading to $18.79. Boosted by tariff rebates and strong expected demand for high-end jeans and sweaters during the holiday season, the company raised its annual earnings outlook on Wednesday. The median price target among the 16 brokers covering the stock is $26.50, according to data compiled by LSEG. Business diversification is starting to show results. Barclays noted that Levi's expansion beyond jeans is paying off, with tops, women's wear, and emerging lifestyle categories contributing about half of the company’s growth, while it remains the leader in the U.S. jeans market. JPMorgan (rating: "Overweight", price target: $33) believes the slowdown in the direct-to-consumer business is only temporary, mainly due to hot weather in Europe and a misjudgment of U.S. jeans trends, as the business has already started to rebound in this quarter. BTIG (rating: "Buy", price target: $27) said improved demand trends and strong performance in wholesale, international markets, and new categories support a more optimistic outlook for the holiday season and 2027. Needham ("Buy", price target: $28) noted that the temporary weakness in Levi's own stores and website seems to have started to reverse, while growth from tops, women's wear, and other non-jeans categories indicates the brand’s dependence on jeans is declining.
