Markets are slumping after the Federal Reserve put a halt to buybacks and imposed new restrictions on the US banking system in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the airline industry has struggled in recent months, some big changes could be coming to the sector. Labor unions representing thousands of airline employees have asked US lawmakers for another bailout as demand plummets due to the pandemic. On the other hand, the EU is set to rule on whether they will open their borders to Americans in the coming week. #BoomBust #QuestionMore #RTAmerica Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RT_BoomBust Check us out on Facebook -- and feel free to ask us questions: http://www.facebook.com/BoomBustRT Follow Christy Ai on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christai_ai/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8bcz5tjB9k

Our lead story: Everyone knows that Walmart is a low cost retailer. But not everyone knows that customers banking within Walmart do some of the most expensive banking in the country! Walmart banking customers pay extraordinarily high fees, a large chunk of which come from overdraft charges. Erin brings you the details. For our interview today, we talk with Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal. He talks about the possible outcomes of the conflict in Ukraine, the possibility of a new cold war, secular and economic stagnation, and Fed policy. Check it out.

Shares in China fell for a third straight day as a second round of major sell-offs continue to engulf Chinese equity markets. The Shanghai Composite index closed down 1.7 percent after recovering from a 4 percent loss in early trading. As for the Shenzhen composite, that closed down 2.2 percent after falling more than six percent earlier on Tuesday. But China is no stranger to this kind of volatility. Ameera David weighs in. Then, Edward Harrison sits down with Axel Merk – president and CIO of Merk Investments. Axel tells us if he’s concerned about narrow market leadership in US markets and gives us his take on if Fed rate hikes could have any impact on market psychology. Merk has incisive commentary on China and precious metals as well. After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at a price caps on egg donations. Two women in California filed a federal lawsuit challenging the fixed price that fertility clinics set, claiming they’re blocking women from a free market to sell their eggs while reaping anticompetitive profits. Afterwards, Edward is joined by David Beckworth – assistant professor of economics at Western Kentucky University and adjunct scholar at The Cato Institute. David talks to us about a recent article he wrote, in which he argued the Fed kept interest rates too high after the Great Recession. And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward talk about the US economy. With house price gains levelling off and consumer confidence suddenly weak, is the Fed likely to hike rates? Economists are less sure. Take a look!
