| 4 | Using an inverse fund to capitalize on poor post-IPO performance, say, or to hedge a broader portfolio can be easy and effective. But the fine print is really important here: The leverage resets daily, so volatility can corrode the returns. At Bloomberg Intelligence, we developed a “traffic light system” to categorize ETFs — and leverage always earns a red light. Leveraged ETFs are really for professional traders more than retail investors, which means they must be monitored closely and are best used only over short-term timeframes.
*Those are clearly for bold views. What are some other ways to invest in the space economy?*
For anyone excited by outer space and the rapidly growing space economy, which some analysts say will triple over the next decade from its current value of roughly $600 billion, there are about 10 space-themed ETFs already on the market, with more on the way. All of them try to capture not only what SpaceX is doing but also the rest of a vast industry. Assets in this category have, in one year, surged from $1.5 billion to about $6 billion.
Investors should think of thematic ETFs as riskier complements to an otherwise basic core portfolio — almost like we use hot sauce in small doses on food. Thematic ETFs tend to be more volatile, more unpredictable and more expensive than broader indexes like the S&P 500, so less is often more.
The juggernaut of the category is the Tema Space Innovators ETF (ticker NASA). Since launch just a few weeks ago, it has usurped the competition and reached $2.6 billion in assets — a rare feat for any ETF that’s taking on established incumbents. The ETF drew so much attention and assets because it was the first space ETF to add SpaceX ahead of its IPO via a range of special purpose vehicles (SPVs). The ETF will convert these into SpaceX shares at the current market price, which could give a little extra pop to the performance.
Outside of that, it has 37 other stocks in the portfolio, mostly from the aerospace, telecom and satellite industries — so it’s not like you’re buying only Musk here. While this is among the most expensive space-themed ETFs at 0.87%, it’s within the normal range of thematic funds, which tend to cost more than ETFs used in the core of a portfolio.
The next biggest by assets — and with an equally memorable ticker — is the Procure Space ETF (UFO), which came out seven years ago. UFO owns the same top five stocks as NASA but is more of a pure space play, with more tech and fewer communication holdings overall. It plans to add SpaceX only a few days after the IPO.
Then there’s ARK Space & Defense ETF (ARKX), which is the only other space-themed ETF with more than $1 billion in assets. Actively managed by Cathie Wood, ARKX is very concentrated with only 43 stocks in the portfolio. There are also space ETFs that focus more on space technology, like Global X Space Tech ETF (ORBX), or satellites and communication, like Corgi Space & Satellite Communications ETF (DIPR), which is also actively managed and the cheapest at 0.35%.
*By the way, how do companies typically fare after they go public?*
Not well, at least historically. In the first year, almost all of them go down. However, the last 18 months have seen some better results. The average IPO over that timeframe has shown positive returns in the first month, three months and six months. Tesla — Musk’s last company to IPO — went up 65% in its first 12 months. A lot of investors learned not to bet against Musk in the ensuing years, but SpaceX dwarfs that quaint version of Tesla, which was worth only about $2 billion when it started trading.

| 5 | *How to Play — or Avoid — SpaceX in Your Portfolio*
How much Elon Musk do you want? There’s an ETF for almost every outlook.
By Joel Weber, Bloomberg
June 16, 2026 at 1:07 AM GMT+8
- Investors can use exchange-traded funds to diversify their portfolios or put their convictions to work regarding SpaceX.
- Some investors can buy the stock or another diversified ETF to gain a little exposure to SpaceX, as some major indexes have decided to fast-track its inclusion.
- There are also space-themed ETFs that try to capture the rest of the vast space industry, with around 10 already on the market and more on the way.
For years, if you wanted to get a piece of SpaceX, you basically needed to know someone. And it helped if that someone was named Elon Musk. Now that the company has finally had its initial public offering — the biggest ever — investors can finally get in on the action.
Or not. While some people see a once-in-a-generation company headed straight to the moon and remember how Musk’s Tesla minted millionaires, others fear his rockets are going to implode their beloved portfolios.
Reality will probably be less dramatic, but that doesn’t make it any less confusing. There are a lot of ways to invest in SpaceX beyond owning the stock, and most of them involve exchange-traded funds. To guide you through the options, Bloomberg Money interviewed Bloomberg Intelligence’s Eric Balchunas, who leads a global team of analysts covering the 10,000 ETFs that now exist worldwide.
So whether you’re excited, nervous or just curious about the biggest IPO in history, here are a few ways investors can use ETFs to diversify their portfolios or put their convictions to work.
*Let’s say you’re not a fan — of Musk, SpaceX, or maybe just new public companies in general. What’s an investor to do?*
There are millions of buy-and-hold investors for whom investing actually means “VOO and chill” — internet shorthand for buying a vanilla S&P 500 fund such as Vanguard’s VOO and tuning out the noise. That strategy has worked so fabulously well that there’s some $13 trillion tracking the index now. The S&P index committee recently decided to exclude SpaceX until at least June 2027, and so S&P 500 investors can basically watch the SpaceX launch party from afar and deal with everything later.
The company will need to become consistently profitable before the committee — which is a pretty secretive, some might even say infamous, group — collectively decides the stock is ready for inclusion. Even then, they may decide to take issue with the company’s governance, seeing how Musk owns 80% of the shares and is practically an immovable object atop its management structure.
*What if an investor wants a little more than none?*
If they want, they can buy the stock or another diversified ETF to gain a little exposure. Some of the other major indexes decided to fast-track SpaceX’s inclusion; those include the Russell 1000, the Bloomberg 500 and the Nasdaq 100. But it’ll be just a small part of those indexes to start, with the largest being the Nasdaq 100 at around 0.75%. The popular Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 fund (ticker QQQ) tracks the Nasdaq 100 — which, it’s worth mentioning, has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 over the last decade. The “Qs,” as it’s called, will be an appealing option for fans of growth stocks who are probably happy with SpaceX’s speedy inclusion.
*These are all big, broad index funds. What’s your advice for someone with a fierce conviction about SpaceX?*
For investors who want to either double down or short SpaceX, there are more than 20 SpaceX-related ETFs vying to get listed that will allow for all kinds of strategies. The most noteworthy will be single-stock ETFs that provide either 2x or -2x leverage; there are already 11 of them in the US alone that started trading today. They're not hard to spot. Their names usually contain words like “Leveraged” or “Inverse” and advertise the multiple. Issuers ProShares, Direxion, GraniteShares, Defiance, T-Rex and LeverageShares are all in the mix. | 137 |
| 6 | “For years, parents have been fighting a losing battle against some of the most powerful companies in the world as smartphones and social media have become an ever bigger part of childhood,” said Joe Ryrie, one of the charity’s founders, in a statement. “Today feels like a turning point.”
There is little data available to understand the consequences of Australia’s ban, academics have stressed, but six months in, early indications are that it has largely failed at keeping young teenagers off the platforms. Still, some Australian parents say, the real impact of the law may not be felt for years, when younger children who are not yet on social media may stay off because of the regulations.
Experts in online safety have warned that Britain’s ban could be ineffective in halting potential harms while also failing to take into account some of the positive impacts of social media on young people. Many acknowledge that it could still have a longer-term deterrent effect.
The tech industry is unlikely to respond positively. The Computer and Communications Industry Association, an international industry group, said in a statement that a ban would prevent teenagers from using platforms that offered benefits as well.
“Blanket restrictions will stifle access to age-appropriate experiences with proper parental controls, encouraging children to seek out riskier unregulated alternatives,” said Matthew Sinclair, a senior director of the group in Britain.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, echoed that criticism and said in a statement that it had already introduced features aimed at keeping teens safe online.
The company also said that any restrictions “must be underpinned by an age verification system on devices so people aren’t asked to hand over ID to dozens of individual services to prove their age.”
YouTube said in a statement that it had “invested in expert-led, age-appropriate experiences and default protections for teens for over a decade” and would “continue to do so.” It described its platform as “a vital resource for young people, educators and parents.”
A number of other countries, including many in Europe, have been considering regulations to limit children’s access to social media.
Speaking at a meeting of Group of 7 nations in Evian, France, on Monday, Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Union’s executive arm, spoke about how nations were exploring limiting access to platforms.
“The debate is not whether young people should have access to social media,” she said. “The debate is whether social media should have access to our children and teenagers, and when.”
Mr. Starmer acknowledged that the new regulations would not mean that no child ever logged on to social media again, but he said that the potential circumvention of the law was no reason not to introduce restrictions.
“They get around other laws, too, but we don’t say, ‘Oh, look, a teenager managed to get a drink somehow, so let’s not bother banning alcohol sales to children,’” he said. “We don’t do that, that would be utterly ridiculous, and so I just don’t accept that argument.”

| 7 | *Britain Proposes Social Media Ban for Children Under 16*
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said his government planned to bar children under 16 from social media, following similar efforts in Australia and elsewhere.
By Megan Specia
Reporting from London for The New York Times
June 15, 2026
The British government plans to ban access to social media for all children under 16, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday, after weeks in which the nation debated how it would introduce new protections for children online.
Mr. Starmer said the government would introduce the new regulations in Parliament before Christmas and bring a ban into force in early 2027. The measures will also include restrictions on game platforms and livestreaming apps, with more details expected to be announced next month.
“I am not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children, and that is why this ban must happen,” Mr. Starmer said at a news conference.
The government has faced growing pressure to act on the issue as public opinion has coalesced around the idea that more should be done to keep children safe online. One YouGov poll in December found that 74 percent of Britons surveyed supported a ban on social media for children under 16.
Mr. Starmer acknowledged that the ban might not be perfect and would not be cost-free, but he added, “Government is always about choices, and it’s clear to me that a full ban is the right choice.”
In March, the government invited public input on the issue, drawing more than 116,000 responses from parents, young people, industry groups and experts.
The government said that 90 percent of parents who responded backed a minimum age of 16 for access to social media and that 85 percent said the risks of social media outweighed the benefits.
The measures will follow a similar model to that of Australia, where a ban was introduced in December, and will apply to platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X, the government said. Messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal will not be included in the restrictions.
The government said that it also planned to block children under 16 from livestreaming and from communicating with strangers on a wider range of online services, including game sites, and that it would be “looking in more detail at overnight curfews and breaks in infinite scrolling” for people under 18.
Not all parents favor a ban, and some experts have pointed out that most young people with social media accounts in Australia have continued to use the platforms. Others have criticized the announcement as rushed, coming as Mr. Starmer faces threats to his leadership from within his Labour Party after steep losses in local elections in May.
Ian Russell, a longtime campaigner for online safety, criticized Mr. Starmer for introducing what he called a “politically expedient blanket ban” rather than forcing social media platforms to remove harmful content. Mr. Russell’s daughter Molly Russell was 14 when she took her own life in 2017 after viewing content relating to suicide and self-harm.
But for many parents in Britain, the measures were a welcome step in addressing their concerns about the harmful effects of online content on their children, as well as fears that childhood has been fundamentally changed by unrestricted access to those platforms.
Justine Roberts, the founder of Mumsnet, an online forum for parents, said in a statement that the announcement was “a huge moment for children’s online safety, and for every parent who has felt powerless in the face of addictive technology designed to keep children scrolling.”
Smartphone Free Childhood, a British charity set up by three parents in 2024, called the social media ban a “hugely significant moment for children and families across the U.K.” | 94 |
| 8 | What was expected to be a coronation in Seoul for the defending champions instead became one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. David Trezeguet nearly opened the scoring for France, sending a blazing shot off the post in the 22nd minute.
Then, in one of the World Cup’s most historic moments, Senegal scored their first World Cup goal. El Hadji Diouf scampered down the left flank in the 29th minute, sending in a low cross to Papa Bouba Diop, who tapped the ball into the net after French goalkeeper Fabien Barthez saved his first attempt. Diop took off his shirt and began to dance around it in a circle with teammates, producing an iconic celebration.
Senegal held on to win, sending shockwaves through the tournament. The Lions of Teranga became the second African nation to advance to the World Cup quarterfinals before losing to Turkey on a golden goal in the 94th minute. France’s title defense unravelled — they failed to get out of the group stage, drawing once, losing twice and not scoring a single goal.

*Saudi Arabia 2-1 Argentina, 2022*
So this is not the best start for Spain, but they can take comfort from how eventual champions Argentina started their campaign four years ago.
Their opening game against Saudi Arabia was seen as a free hit for Lionel Messi and company, a chance to tune up before the real business of trying to lift their third World Cup.
It seemed to be following that script when Messi put them ahead from the spot in the 10th minute. Lautaro Martinez even thought he had put his side 2-0 up around the half-hour mark, but his goal was ruled out for a questionable offside. Saleh Al-Shehri then drew the sides level with his low shot in the 48th minute, before Salem Al-Dawsari stunned the world with his blistering effort from the edge of the area five minutes later.
It was only Saudi Arabia’s fourth World Cup win in 17 attempts, against a side who had gone on a 36-game unbeaten run. Sports data group Gracenote branded it the biggest shock in the tournament’s history, with the chances of a Saudi win estimated at just 8.7 per cent.
But we all know what happened next — and coach Lionel Scaloni’s post-match words, as shown in the documentary I Choose To Believe: The Road Of The Champion, were particularly prescient: “Unfortunately — or positively — it happened, and if we get through and we regroup, we’ll go and compete. And be warned… if we regroup, there’s nobody who can stop us.”

*Cape Verde 0-0 Spain, 2026*
It’s rare that a 0-0 draw in the group stages elicits cheers and congratulations, but this was a tremendous team performance from Cape Verde. They spent the majority of the game on the back foot, but never looked overawed by a Spain team that finished the game with 74 per cent possession.
Cape Verde defended deep, blocked shots excellently and were anchored by the 40-year-old Vozinha having one of the goalkeeping performances of a lifetime, making seven saves throughout the match.
It was the sort of team performance that should win over any of the remaining naysayers regarding the tournament’s expansion to 48 teams. Cape Verde are among a collection of “smaller” nations that can compete at the World Cup. Curaçao may have been beaten 7-1 by Germany a day before, but they looked promising before an unfortunately timed hydration break.
Cape Verde’s 0-0 draw with Spain is important not only because it increases the chances of Spain meeting Argentina in the round of 32, but it serves as a new, modern reminder that the gap in collective endeavour between the best in the world (Spain’s FIFA ranking is 3rd) and World Cup debutants (Cape Verde’s FIFA ranking is 64th) is growing smaller.
There are no more participants. The planet is more connected than ever, with players of mixed heritage being recruited via LinkedIn to play for National Teams on the biggest stage. There’s a brilliant World Cup story to be had on every match day. This is a draw that reminds us of the brilliance of football and its ability to constantly surprise.

| 9 | When debutants Algeria lined up to take on two-time champions West Germany in the opening match of the 1982 tournament, it looked like FIFA had planned a Gijon goal-fest to get the party started.
After all, most of the Algerian team were based at home, while West Germany had just won the Euros and had superstars such as Paul Breitner and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in their ranks. As the commentator on the extended highlights on FIFA’s website puts it, “What a test for their first time out”.
But what a game this one turned out to be. The first half is all West Germany but Algeria keep them out. And then, nine minutes into the second half, the North African side take a shock lead when Rabah Madjer reacts fastest to Harald ‘Toni’ Schumacher’s first save of the match.
The Germans equalise via a trademark close-range finish from Rummenigge. But the Algerians then produce the move of the match to score almost from the restart, with Lakhdar Belloumi applying an emphatic finish.
That prompts a German siege of the Algerian goal. There are amazing saves, last-ditch blocks, a disallowed goal, a huge penalty shout and then, finally, the whistle. Algeria win to become the first African and first Arab team to beat European opposition at a World Cup.
And they should have advanced to the next round, too, as they lost to Austria but beat Chile in their final game, only for West Germany and Austria to contrive a 1-0 win for the former that sent both through at Algeria’s expense. A game now known as the “Disgrace of Gjion”.

*Cameroon 1-0 Argentina, 1990*
It was the opening game of the 1990 World Cup and the stage in Milan was set for Diego Maradona to dominate, just as he did when leading Argentina to victory in Mexico four years earlier.
But Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions hadn’t read the script. They produced a spirited, defiant, combative first-half display to frustrate the world champions, denying Maradona the time and space to work his magic. Then, almost unbelievably, they took the lead midway through the second half with a towering header from Francois Omam-Biyik, which Argentina goalkeeper Nery Pumpido somehow allowed to escape his grasp.
Cameroon were reduced to 10 when Omam-Biyik’s brother Andre Kana-Biyik was sent off and then to nine when defender Benjamin Massing halted Claudio Cannigia’s progress in the crudest manner imaginable. It was no-frills football at times, but, as that World Cup went on, Cameroon’s performances — beating not just Argentina but Romania and Colombia and then coming so close to eliminating England in the quarter-final — were both inspirational and transformative for African football.

*Bulgaria 2-1 Germany, 1994*
Germany were defending the World Cup they won in 1990, and going along fairly well. They’d topped their group — without comprehensively beating anybody, it should be said — and seen off Belgium in the round of 16. So far so good.
And better still when Lothar Matheus opened the scoring with a penalty against a limited Bulgaria team in the quarter-finals. Jurgen Klinsmann banged in another finish — but then it all went wrong. Klinsmann’s tap-in was ruled out for offside, Hristo Stoichkov levelled things up and then three minutes later, a balding Yordan Letchkov dispatched a deadly hanging header. Like that, the holders were out.

I remember this because I watched it in a German pub. The odd thing was that everybody there seemed to see it coming. ‘Raus!’ they shouted (“Out!”), with shoulders shrugging, when the final whistle sounded. And then they sank pilsner incessantly.

*Senegal 1-0 France, 2002*
It’s the opening match of the 2002 World Cup.
Les Bleus are coming off their first World Cup win in 1998 on home soil. They boasted a squad that had several returning players from that triumph, including Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry and Marcel Desailly. Senegal, a former French colony that gained independence in 1960, was playing in its first World Cup. | 97 |
| 10 | *Greatest World Cup shocks: Debating where Cape Verde holding Spain ranks*
By Asli Pelit, Jacob Whitehead, Phil Hay, Oliver Kay, Lukas Weese, Tomás Hill López-Menchero, Carl Anka and Matt Slater, The Athletic
June 16, 2026
Not a bad way to make your World Cup debut.
Cape Verde came into their first finals game with the daunting prospect of taking on a Spain side that are many people’s favourites to win the competition. Having watched Germany demolish Curacao the day before, Cape Verde fans might have been forgiven for experiencing some pre-game nerves.
Yet what followed was a performance of heroic obduracy, and one of the most surprising results in men’s World Cup history. Who knew a 0-0 draw could be so entertaining?
But where does this result rank in the pantheon of men’s World Cup upsets? We asked The Athletic’s experts to weigh in on their most surprising results in the history of the competition.
*United States 1-0 England, 1950*
Few results in World Cup history have been as shocking as the United States’ 1-0 victory over England on June 29, 1950, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
The Americans entered the match as overwhelming underdogs. England, playing in its first World Cup after years of refusing to participate in FIFA competitions, was widely regarded as one of the strongest teams in the world. Many observers predicted England would score several goals with ease.
Sounds familiar? The U.S. team, by contrast, was made up largely of amateur and semi-professional players. Its roster included a high school teacher, letter carriers and dishwashers, many of whom held full-time jobs outside soccer.
Drawn alongside Spain and Chile in Group 2, both England and the U.S. understood there was little margin for error. The 1950 World Cup allowed only the group winner to advance, making every match effectively a knockout game. England had beaten Chile 2-0 in their previous game, while the Americans were beaten 3-1 by Spain in their opener and were given little chance against the English.
Instead, they produced one of the greatest upsets in sports history. The decisive moment came in the 38th minute when Haiti-born forward Joe Gaetjens redirected a shot from Walter Bahr past England goalkeeper Bert Williams.
The goal proved enough as the Americans closed up and played defensively for the remainder. The result was so unexpected that some newspapers initially believed it had been reported incorrectly. Yet the score stood. Although neither team advanced from the group stage, the victory remains one of the defining moments in U.S. soccer history.

*North Korea 1-0 Italy, 1966*
The venue was Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough’s former stadium, for a meeting between European giants Italy and global pariah North Korea, taking place just 13 years after the Korean War.
North Korea’s side was not even supposed to be at the World Cup initially, taking their place after South Africa were disqualified due to the country’s apartheid regime, and South Korea had to withdraw for logistical reasons.
Boasting an utterly unknown team — with their flag and anthem unable to be broadcast in the United Kingdom due to the lingering effects of the war — North Korea were the tournament’s surprise stars.
Moranbong Phenian midfielder Pak Doo-ik, a corporal in the North Korean army, scored the winner late in the first-half, with his side going on to weather an increasingly desperate Italian storm.
On returning to Middlesbrough in 2002, 36 years later, Pak remarked: “It was the day I learnt football is not all about winning. I learnt that playing football can improve diplomatic relations and promote peace.”
Supporters in Italy cared little for that; when the Azzurri returned to Rome’s airport after the defeat, they were pelted by rotten tomatoes, with manager Edmondo Fabbri immediately sacked.
North Korea almost sprung another shock against Portugal in the quarter-finals, taking a 3-0 lead before the legendary Eusebio inspired a 5-3 win with four goals.

| 11 | Around 6% of obese and diabetic patients in the U.S. and 2% of obese and diabetic patients worldwide were using GLP-1 drugs last year, according to an estimate by the investment bank Morgan Stanley. Some estimates have put GLP-1 use as high as 12% of the U.S. adult population, since not everyone on GLP-1 drugs is obese or diabetic.
Food and nutrition companies are creating added-protein products to attract those consumers as well as people who think drinking protein shakes to replace meals will help them lose weight.
*Pricey protein*
Tight supplies and higher costs have caused some manufacturers to increase the prices consumers pay for protein powder or protein-enriched products.
Now Foods, an Illinois-based maker of health foods and nutritional supplements, said tubs of whey protein powder are consistently the biggest seller in its sports nutrition category. But after two years of paying more for raw ingredients, the company raised the price of its own whey protein products earlier this year.
Bryan Morin, the sports brand manager at Now, said the company doesn’t anticipate further price increases on whey protein powder this year. It’s trying to absorb some of its increased costs by cutting back on discounts. It’s also considering expanding its portfolio to include products made with milk protein concentrate, a powder that contains less whey and is cheaper.
“From our perspective, broader market dynamics continue to indicate a tight and evolving protein landscape,” Morin said.
*More on the whey*
Wolfley, at Ever.Ag, said manufacturers are investing in whey protein production, which should eventually improve supplies. But the relief won’t be immediate.
Glanbia, an Irish nutrition company, said in November that it planned to increase its whey protein isolate production in New Mexico, but the additional capacity won’t be in place until 2027. In February, Canadian dairy company Agropur said it intended to increase whey protein manufacturing at plants in Quebec, Nova Scotia, South Dakota and Wisconsin by 2029.
In the meantime, higher prices could cause some consumers to stop buying whey protein powders, especially at a time when groceries are getting more expensive overall, Wolfley said. Reduced retail demand might reduce shortages at the wholesale level.
“The supply-demand dynamics could start to improve, but I don’t know if that’s a tomorrow dynamic or within a year. Some of these things are going to take time,” Wolfley said.

| 12 | *The world wants more high-protein products, but there’s not enough whey to go around*
By Dee-Ann Durbin
June 14, 2026
Global consumers want more protein in every bite, but the dairy industry is struggling to give it to them.
Athletes and older adults have long used smoothies and shakes blended with whey protein concentrate – a powdered byproduct of cheese-making – to build or maintain muscle. More recently, food companies have sprinkled it into everything from breakfast cereals, Pop-Tarts and potato chips to bagels, tortillas and Starbucks drinks to meet growing consumer demand.
The average U.S. supermarket now has 38,708 products advertising their protein content, according to NielsenIQ, a market research company. But the eagerness to appeal to ingredient-focused shoppers is causing shortages of food-grade whey protein and pushing prices to new records.
“Demand is very firm and seemingly outpacing supply for right now,” said Kathleen Wolfley, vice president of Ever.Ag Insights, a data provider and consulting company for the agriculture industry.
Wholesale prices for whey protein began rising in 2024, and the pace accelerated last year and so far this year, Wolfley said.
Whey protein concentrate with 80% protein – the type often used by food makers and supplement companies as a booster – is trading on the dairy commodities market at more than $13 per pound in the U.S., up 250% from a year ago, according to Ever.Ag. Whey protein isolate, a more refined vesion that contains at least 90% protein, is 150% more expensive than last year, the company said.
That’s raising prices for consumers. U.S. prices for whey protein concentrate powder have increased by around 15% over the past year, while more premium whey isolate powder has seen steeper gains, according to Datasembly, a price-tracking company.
It’s a similar story in Europe. In late May, 80% whey protein concentrate hit a new record average of 26,450 euros ($30,518) per metric ton, a price more than double from less than a year earlier, according to DCA Market Intelligence, a Netherlands-based commodity pricing firm.
Here’s what’s happening with whey protein and when strained supplies might be alleviated.
*Curds and whey*
Milk contains two proteins: casein and whey. During the cheese-making process, the casein – which forms solid curds – is separated from the liquid whey, which is dried to form a powder. Every pound of cheese yields nine pounds of whey, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
U.S. milk consumption has fallen for decades as Americans shifted to beverages like sodas. But the appetite for cheese remained strong, Wolfley said. A nation of cheese-eaters generated a lot of whey protein, and some of the excess used to be exported to China and other countries.
The domestic hunger for high-protein snacks and meals is now keeping more whey protein in the U.S. for use as a food additive or a nutritional supplement. U.S. exports of 80% whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate to China fell 47% from January through April compared to the same four-month period a year ago, according to Vesper, an Amsterdam-based company that tracks commodity prices.
“There simply isn’t enough product for the U.S. customer, and exports have therefore been paused as much as possible,” said Jasper Endlich, a Vesper dairy analyst.
China is seeking more whey protein from Europe, which also is seeing shortages thanks to reduced U.S. exports, Endlich said.
*Whey and weight loss*
Use of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs is one of the factors that has supercharged demand for whey protein concentrate, Wolfley said.
Obesity drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound are designed to suppress the appetites of people taking them. The foods they do eat need to be nutritionally dense, experts say. GLP-1 users often are advised to consume enough protein to help them feel full for longer and to retain muscle mass as they lose weight. | 155 |
| 13 | Work environments are rapidly changing and many employees feel like they’re lurching from one difficult dynamic to another, Adler said. While AI agents can’t help workers feel better about that uncertainty, strong leaders can help their teams, she added.
*Critical thinking*
Artificial intelligence models collect information and produce responses but can generate inaccuracies, so it’s important to second-guess its output. Developing deep knowledge about your field can help you notice when the AI-generated results on topics from your industry are incorrect, said Amalia Kaufman, course developer and instructor at the University of California, Irvine Division of Continuing Education.
“You have to have the cognition and the critical thinking and the subject matter expertise to make sense of it, and to know when it’s wrong,” Kaufman said. “You have to check your facts.”
In a study published in the journal Science, researchers at Stanford tested 11 popular AI systems and found that artificial intelligence chatbots were prone to flattering and validating the feelings of users, affirming a user’s actions 49% more often than humans did. Taking a step back and applying critical thinking skills when reading results generated by AI can help combat the tendency for it to be overly agreeable with its users.
Having a conscience
The ability to distinguish right from wrong, or listen to one’s inner conscience, is a skill that is innately human, experts said.
Sometimes, people rely on sensations in their bodies to help guide their decision-making. “Gut feelings are something you feel in your gut,” Iansiti said. “It’s not just a pattern of information that’s going through your brain. It is actually an emotional reaction that is intrinsically different from the way that AI operates. At least this generation of AI.”
When life-or-death decisions have to be made, such as when to use lethal military force, “do you want something that does not have human emotion, it does not have a body attached with the intelligence?” Iansiti asked. “AI can fake having a conscience because it’s read about what a conscience is, but it doesn’t have a conscience.”
People can build parameters, or guardrails, into artificial intelligence models to help AI agents make ethical decisions, he said. But human input is still required.
“It’s very hard to design a model that’s ethical for everything. It’s much better to build it around a specific use case. Say hiring,” Iansiti said.
Judgement calls
Ethical questions aren’t the only ones that AI is less equipped to handle for now. The capacity to come up with creative ideas and make decisions in ambiguous situations — while mapping out strategies or developing a brand identity, for example — is another important human skill, experts said.
“We don’t believe that’s something that’s going to be replicated by artificial intelligence,” said Heather Stefanski, chief learning and development officer at management consulting firm McKinsey. “If we’re all just using the AI answer to problem-solve, how are you really going to be distinctive?”
Humans make judgment calls based on a constellation of knowledge and lived experiences, Flynn said. Artificial intelligence draws from a lot of data but doesn’t necessarily work well in gray areas, Flynn said. For now, the ability to see all angles of an issue and add context remains a form of intelligence that people possess to a greater extent than AI, she said.
“The things that make us uniquely human to me are going to continue to be the things that help our society thrive in productive ways,” Flynn said. “And making sure that we are calling those things out, paying attention to them, making sure those are attributes that folks can name and articulate and feel good about, is going to be key as we all navigate a rapidly changing future.”

| 14 | *The skills people still perform better than AI, according to workplace experts*
By Cathy Bussewitz, Associated Press
June 11, 2026
NEW YORK (AP) — Many workers fear machines will supplant them as adoption of artificial intelligence accelerates.
But what if people have qualities both unmistakably human and essential to career success that AI could not easily replace them?
Some workplace experts argue that with more businesses adopting AI tools, soft skills such as empathy, critical thinking and ethical decision-making are worth cultivating to help employees become indispensible.
Across industries and occupations, “the skills that are most resistant to displacement by AI are the ones that are the most distinctly human,” Maria Flynn, president and CEO of Jobs for the Future, a nonprofit focused on workforce development, said. “Some of those things are relationship building, conflict resolution, the ability to guide and motivate other people and ethical judgment.”
Even in job listings for technical roles such as IT support, organizations say they’re looking for candidates who communicate well and take leadership initiative, Flynn said.
“We started to use the term ‘durable skills’ and think about them as capabilities that really are durable, in that they hold their value across economic shifts and technological change and labor market disruption,” she said. “And we think, especially now, in this time of AI advancement, that it’s the durable skills that really make a worker genuinely valuable at work, regardless of what tools and technology are available.”
Here are five skills to cultivate based on the areas where experts say humans still hold an edge over artificial intelligence.
*Empathy*
Interpreting body language and reading between the lines to decipher what wasn’t explicitly communicated are skills that many people find are best performed by humans. They also inform the ability to show empathy, and being sensitive to the feelings of others is a sought-after trait in workers.
Marco Iansiti, a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School, said he saw that firsthand during a hospital stay.
“A nurse has incredibly human impacts. Feeling, relating to the patient, the type of care that is so important,” Iansiti said. “I remember times when I was sick in the hospital and the nurse was like the godsend. Would I have let a robot do the same thing? No. There was a human connection there that I found very valuable.”
Where AI could be helpful in a hospital setting is by taking on mundane tasks such as paperwork, freeing up time for nurses to provide compassionate patient care, he said.
“There’s a lot of systems that are being deployed now that I think are very effective in doing this and essentially release healthcare workers to do the things that they should be doing and do best.”
*Nurturing relationships*
Building strong personal ties with colleagues, clients and stakeholders remains a prized skill that experts say artificial intelligence models have difficulty replicating. Salespeople, for example, have files or databases with information they’ve learned about their clients from interacting face-to-face.
“You have people that have trusted you and have bought products from you for the last 10 years. That has value and that’s hard to transfer to artificial intelligence,” Iansiti said.
Interpersonal skills also are invaluable when conflicts arise. “Having that human in the loop to manage those expectations, to ease any ruffled feathers, to build the type of relationships that are needed, to expedite good work, is still going to be critical,” Flynn said.
Conflict resolution is a must-have quality for managers, said Colleen Adler, director analyst in the human resources practice at the Gartner consulting firm.
“People do still have managers, and managers and leaders impact the way they feel, and co-workers impact the ways we feel as well,” Adler said. “There is still a tone to AI that does not yet mimic human connection. That could change; I don’t think we’re there yet.” | 138 |
| 15 | Clinton, Bush and Obama all hoped that their presidencies would produce lasting ideological and partisan realignments. But none of them did — and each were followed by presidents of the opposite party who were dismissive of their predecessor’s records. Nor is it likely that Trump will fare differently. For all he dominates his party, his coalition has deep issue divides on national security and the role of big business, for instance, that promise to flare the moment Trump personally is gone from power.
That’s the final thing to say about the 1946 babies. They have been around a very long time — and there’s a strong chance they will be around a good while longer.
In 1946, the average life expectancy of U.S. presidents was 68 years. FDR, the dominant figure in American life for a dozen years — a feat Trump will soon match — had died the year before at the age of just 63.
For the past half-century, starting with Gerald Ford, presidents on average have died at age 95.
In one way or another, the generational cohort that vaulted the Summer of 1946 presidents will keep demanding to know “which side are you on” until the answer is “the side that is six feet underground.”

| 16 | 1990s politics were a morality play pitting Bill Clinton who won the White House promising to repeal a “decade of greed and self-seeking” in the Reagan-era 1980s, against Newt Gingrich and self-styled Republican revolutionaries, who sought to use Clinton’s sexual transgressions to drive him from office. Clinton, who in most moods tried to be a uniter, survived only by posing the divisive “which side are you on” question to advantage: Many more people were with him than Gingrich.
9/11 looked briefly like an event that would transcend political divisions and unite the country around shared conviction. Soon enough though, George W. Bush’s confrontational leadership style and decision to wage war not only in Afghanistan but Iraq meant that national security became one more subject to ask which side are you on. The combination of Bush’s wars and the 2008 financial meltdown were key prerequisites to Donald Trump’s later takeover of the GOP.
Above all, it was Trump’s insight that the convergence of social media and always-on mobile technology meant that incendiary language and vicious attacks on opponents could be more than an occasional tactic. Harnessed with abandon, it could be the basis for an entire grievance-based political movement.
Historically, political arguments — no matter how heated or even violent — were a means to resolving important substantive issues. Historian James G. Randall in 1940 termed the parade of failed leaders and Supreme Court justices in the 1840s and 1850s “the blundering generation,” whose alleged short-sightedness and grandstanding led to a violent Civil War. Most later historians rejected the characterization. There was no middle path or incremental remedy that was going to prevent a climactic conflict over slavery, the most important question of the country’s first century.
In today’s politics, by contrast, the argument itself, and the occasion to excoriate the opposition, often is more important than the substance of the argument. This is how Republicans can rally behind Trump on Iran or tariffs or the intersection of presidential decisions with family business interests, even as his policies diverge from their own past positions and they would no doubt bitterly denounce the exact same choices from a Democratic president.
This highlights several distinctive signatures of this generation’s politics.
First, they often revolve around questions of values and virtue. That’s a different emphasis than the previous generation’s arguments, which were more typically about material things. If one person thinks marginal tax rates should be 40 percent, and another thinks they should be 30 percent, they might fight passionately but in the end it’s pretty easy to compromise at 35. In 1990 by contrast, Gingrich anticipated Trumpian politics by 25 years when he co-authored a famous memo urging Republicans to cast their opponents with such language as “sick,” “traitors,” “bizarre,” “corrupt,” and “pathetic.” Hillary Rodham Clinton usually didn’t talk this way in public, but there was the famous episode when she revealed at a fund-raiser she thought was private her view that half of Trump supporters belonged to a “basket of deplorables” with racist or sexist views. The language of the culture wars leaves little for opponents to say to one another.
Which leads to a second signature of the 1946 generation’s politics. They remain chronically unstable. In other chapters of American history big questions have been resolved with a new consensus. The 1930s battles over the New Deal, including the creation of Social Security, were as passionate as anything in contemporary time. By the time Dwight Eisenhower returned the White House to Republicans in the 1950s, both he and voters had moved on. Richard Nixon, likewise, didn’t want to keep arguing in the 1970s about the passage of Medicare and Medicaid under Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s. By contrast, MAGA Republicans are still up for a fight about Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act 16 years after its passage. | 131 |
| 17 | *The Generational Disaster of Trump, Bush and Clinton*
The 1946 babies — Trump, Bush and Clinton — are leaving a rancid political legacy.
By John F. Harris, Associated Press
06/14/2026 07:00 AM EDT
_John F. Harris is founding editor and chairman of POLITICO. His column offers a regular perspective on politics in a moment of radical disruption._
In 1992, when Bill Clinton won the presidency over George H.W. Bush, the transition in power was accompanied by a wave of generational commentary.
The election marked the passing of a remarkable roster of seven consecutive presidents who were born in the first quarter of the 20th century and whose early careers were shaped decisively by service in World War II. At the time, it seemed that this generation — 32 years from John F. Kennedy’s arrival to Bush’s exit — had hovered over the culture for a breathtakingly long stretch.
Donald J. Trump’s birthday — he arrived at Jamaica Queens hospital in New York 80 years ago today — prompts a striking realization. The children of 1946 are on track to loom over American life for even longer.
A few weeks after Trump came George W. Bush, at Connecticut’s Yale-New Haven hospital, on July 6. Then on Aug. 19, the youngest and the first to reach the presidency: Clinton, whose last name was then Blythe, was born at the Julia Chester hospital in Hope, Arkansas.
So there they are: three American presidents turning 80 this summer, old men by any measure. They have starkly different styles, temperaments and goals for their country. But they are united in some important ways. All in their own way and in their time were uncommonly talented politicians.
All three are also the preeminent representatives of the generation that trashed American politics.
Clinton, Bush and Trump surely hold significantly different measures of culpability for the squalor of American political culture. But all three children of 1946 are central characters in a decades-long descent in which Americans have been progressively more tribalistic in their political affiliations; ever-more coarse and insulting in public discourse; more mystified by and contemptuous of those who disagree; less trusting in government and most other establishment institutions, less confident in the country’s ability to reliably and rationally govern itself or fashion a consensus around solving long-term problems, or even to agree on the most basic standards of right and wrong.
Let’s distinguish this from the classic generational critique, distilled by the eye-rolling “OK, boomer” catchphrase that took off in late 2019 just before the pandemic. In fact, the massive cohort of Americans born in the decade following the end of World War II was one of extraordinary creativity and idealism. This generation was on the front lines of the racial and sexual liberation movements that transformed American life. Its music and films (Stephen Spielberg will turn 80 in December) shaped modern culture on a global scale. So too have its technology innovators (Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are both later-side boomers, from 1955) changed history as profoundly as any elected official of their times.
It is in the realm of politics that the legacy is rancid. This was a generation whose politics were defined by a single question, “Which side are you on?” The argument over the answer has kept the country preoccupied for going on six decades.
This generation’s penchant for a moralizing brand of politics — in which opponents are not just wrong-headed but in fundamental ways wrong-hearted, even wicked — began on college campuses in the 1960s in arguments over Vietnam and whether one looked sympathetically or contemptuously at the blossoming counterculture.
Few imagined that different incarnations of these early arguments would continue into adulthood and now old age. | 201 |
