This Day in History: , John F. Kennedy Is Born.
May 29, 1917.
The future U.S. President
was born in Brookline, MA.
At the time of his birth,
the Kennedys were already a
prominent and politically
active American family.
As a young man, Kennedy attended
Harvard University, graduating with honors
with a degree in international relations.
His political career began in 1952,
when he was elected to the
House of Representatives.
Kennedy served as a U.S. senator
for seven years before running
for president in 1960.
Kennedy's platform of social policies and
anti-communism, combined with his charisma,
paved a way to the White House.
He was the youngest
U.S. president ever elected.
Kennedy's life and administration
was tragically cut short by his
assassination in 1963.
He was 46 years old

of monetary policy transmission, , ECB Governing Council, via statement.
... it is now appropriate to
moderate the degree of monetary
policy restriction after nine months
of holding rates steady, ECB Governing Council, via statement.
This is the first time that interest rates
have been cut since September 2019. .
Updated macroeconomic projections indicate that 2024's "annual average headline inflation outlook" has been increased from 2.3% to 2.5%, CNBC reports.
For 2025, it was raised from 2% to 2.2%.
The projection for 2026 stayed at 1.9%.
The ECB's next meeting is in July, where another rate cut is unlikely, experts say.
The slight upgrade to the inflation forecast
was to be expected, inflation has been printing
a little bit hotter than markets were expecting,
but in terms of the timing of the next cut
Iād still be looking to September, Dean Turner, chief euro zone economist at
UBS Global Wealth Management, to CNBC.

Iran has summoned Sweden's temporary charge d'affaires in response to what it termed "baseless & spiteful accusations" following claims by Sweden's intelligence agency that Iran has been "using criminal networks" within the Scandinavian country to target Israel and its interests.

Iran is allegedly behind a series of terror attacks carried out by criminal networks targeting Israeli embassies in Europe since October 7, according to the Mossad intelligence agency. The Mossad has been collaborating with European intelligence agencies to investigate these incidents. One significant attack occurred in January when an explosive device, reportedly a hand grenade, was found within the grounds of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm. The Swedish national bomb squad safely destroyed the device. Subsequent investigations led to the conclusion that the Foxtrot organised crime ring in Sweden was responsible for the attack, acting on behalf of Iran, according to Mossad findings.

Scientists Discover , Hidden Indicator of Future , Weight Changes.
'Newsweek' reports that scientists
may have found a way to predict weight
gain or loss from the size of fat cells. .
Researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet
measured the size and number of fat cells
in the abdominal fat of 260 volunteers. .
The team found that after an average
of 15 years, those with larger fat cells tended
to lose weight, while those with smaller fat
cells were more prone to gaining weight.
We can only speculate as to
why the size of a person's fat cells
seems to predict their future weight, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Body weight decreases when energy
expenditure exceeds intake and the
body burns off fat to compensate. , Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Our results suggest that the loss
of large fat cells makes more
of an impact on weight
than the loss of small ones, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
Peter Arner, one of the lead researchers on the study,
notes that smaller fat cells have also been found
to be linked to a better metabolic profile. .
This means that if someone with
small fat cells does gain weight,
it may not raise their risk of
conditions such as type 2 diabetes
and high blood pressure as much
as if they had large fat cells, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that the team hope their
findings will help develop more personalized weight
management strategies for people in the future.
It could be of great clinical
value to have information
about fat cell size before starting
a weight-management program, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.
If it is the case that those with
large fat cells find it easier to
lose weight, those with smaller
cells could be given extra support, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine
at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'
