NYC Tax Push: New York lawmakers are lining up a new 1% tax on cash home purchases in the five boroughs for properties selling for $1 million-plus, aimed at raising about $160 million for the city as Hochul and Mayor Mamdani juggle a still-late budget deal. World Cup Buzz: FIFA says the July 19 final halftime show at MetLife will be headlined by Madonna, Shakira and BTS, curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, with a big education-fund pitch behind the spectacle. Markets: The dollar climbed again after retail sales and jobless claims data kept rate-cut hopes in check, while investors watched U.S.-China talks. Legal/Health: The U.S. agreed to settle an SEC lawsuit tied to Gautam Adani’s alleged bribery scheme, and New York’s medical fund changes could affect children’s healthcare as funding and reimbursement rules come under pressure. Sports: Giants and Jets released their 2026 schedules, and the Mets completed a sweep of the Tigers behind A.J. Ewing’s first big-league homer.
