Gold, bargains & a quilt show walk into a weekend... 🧵
Good morning, Jackson County. Rhea Lana's is bringing the consignment energy to Jackson this week, which means treasure hunters and bargain-minded families are about to have a very good time. While locals are sifting through racks, Wall Street was doing its own kind of rummaging — weak jobs data, wobbly stocks, and Nvidia dropping $12.9 billion on an AI company called Hugging Face, which is either the future of technology or the name of a very niche therapy practice.
Meanwhile, the Dutch Central Bank quietly moved 86 tonnes of gold overseas, which is the kind of move that makes you want to revisit your own finances — conveniently, Financial Friday has some solid advice on exactly that. Plus, a yard sale, outdoor movie, and quilt show are all coming up in Events. Good week ahead.
