ReArm Europe Plan:
EU countries to boost defense spending in a world where rising geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia drive global superpowers to modernize their armed forces.
EU leaders met in Brussels earlier in March to discuss the ‘ReArm Europe Plan’, which will allow the bloc to mobilize funds up to $860 million through bonds and relaxed rules on borrowing and spending.

Orders for durable goods in the U.S. ticked up!
Orders for durable goods in the U.S. ticked up for a second consecutive month in February, helped once again by demand for transport equipment.
Total orders for goods made to last at least three years, such as automobiles, planes and electronic equipment, were 0.9% higher in February than in January, Commerce Department data said Wednesday.
That marked a slowdown from the 3.3% rise of January, though contrasts with the 1.0% decline expected by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal.
Transport-equipment orders drove the rise, increasing 1.5%, though nondefense aircraft and parts orders slumped 5% after nearly doubling in January on the back of plane orders.
