Private aviation is no longer a niche luxury, it's becoming a major business story. Global private jet activity reached a record 3.9 million flights in 2025, up 34% from pre-pandemic levels, while airports are making major investments to capitalize on growing demand for premium travel experiences. The trend is playing out across the country. As President of VistaJet US, Leona Qi has a unique perspective on these shifts. Vista flies many of the executives, entrepreneurs and investors making expansion and investment decisions around the world, giving the company an early view into where business activity and capital are moving before those trends appear in traditional economic data.

For more, Tim Stenovec and guest host Norah Mulinda spoke with Leona Qi, President of VistaJet.

Stanley Druckenmiller suggested that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is making a mistake by trying to push down yields in the bond market. Bessent has recently pledged to increase the Treasury’s purchases of long-dated bonds, a move widely seen as an attempt to push down yields in the world’s most important debt market. Druckenmiller, who worked alongside Bessent and George Soros and remains one of the most influential voices on Wall Street, wrote in an opinion column “governments defending prices against fundamentals always lose,”

Donald Trump's family has won preliminary approval to start a national bank, riding a wave of deregulation under the Trump administration. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has approved 22 bank charter applications in the first 19 months of the president's second term, with many going to fintech and digital-asset firms. The Trump family's proposed bank, World Liberty Financial, plans to expand the use of its dollar-backed stablecoin, USD1, and store the assets backing it in the bank, potentially cutting costs and adding legitimacy to the stablecoin.
