I have not been reluctant and especially my concerns going on and is my hope and expectation that there will be less intrusive action role through hospital. President Biden's concern about civilian casualties is being answered by Israel's Economy Minister Near Barkat, do you understand that we have to wipe isis Comeaus off the map and we will do it with minimal collateral damage.

And President Biden also has often saying he'll wait to see The deadline is Friday midnight, add Baxter, Bloomberg Radio. All right, and thank you well. We turned to the economy now, and we get the first of two big readings on inflation this morning. With the consumer price index for October. Economists say inflation probably ease to an annual rate of three point three percent, and we get a preview from Bloomberg's crety GUPDA. There are some varied estimates here, but I think the takeaway is simply that some of the disinflation, the progress essentially that has been happening in the US economy when it comes to inflation, is going to slow down. So it's not that it's going to increase, but it's also not going to be making as much downward progress as we expect, at least has to take out of Bloomberg Economics, and I think that's the concern here for a lot of the people who are pricing in a more dubvish Federal Reserve, which is simply that this is going to be the key data point that suggests the Federal Reserve is not done hiking at all. You heard Chairman Powell last week hint at that and kind of say, well, we're going to be as hawkish as we need to be. This is the data point that might back that up. And Bloomberg's CRETTY group disays today's inflation data is not likely to shift traders views on the fits December meeting, days after the US was threatened with the loss of its last top credit rating from Moody's the Treasury Secretary is firing back. Janet Yellen spoke in San Francisco yesterday. This is a decision that I disagree with.

That we work together in order to ensure that this deadly poison that is killing people in San Francisco in significant numbers and all over the country, that we're able to combat this to stop it. San Francisco Mayor London Breed says fentanyl has devastated her city like no other drug in her lifetime. Let's turn to some corporate news now, Karen, we have a takeover in the commodities industry. Switzerland's Glencore has agreed to buy a majority stake in Canada's tech resources coal business for more than six point nine billion dollars. The d ns a month's long saga and sets the stage for glen Core to spin off its own coal unit. Well, Nathan, a big week for retail earnings kicks off with Home Depot. We're reporting this morning, and we get a preview with the Bloomberg's Tom Busby. Home Depot forecast report a fourth straight quarterly decline at same store sales as the one to two punch of surging mortgage rates and record high home prices caused a slump in US home sales, putting it in to the home improvement boom we saw during the pandemic. Bloomberg consensus calls for comp sales to fall three point three one percent, of the decline in the US three point six seven percent.

The US Supreme Court has adopted a new code of conduct, the first in the Court's history. Loyola Law School professor and former federal prosecutor Laurie Levinson says the adoption of the code itself is significant. There has been a great deal a criticism of the Supreme Court. Much of it has been focused on Justice Thomas and Justice Alito because they received gifts, they haven't made full disclosure of travel and other types of benefits, and so now we have a clear standard. But critics call the code itself toothless because it doesn't include a mechanism for enforcement.
