For a sense of the economic whiplash that America’s corporate leaders have faced since the Covid-19 pandemic began, consider how weird things got for oil and lumber. There was a day in April 2020 when Texas crude sold for less than nothing—$37 less, in futures trading. Roads had emptied, refineries had shut down, and oil tanks at a key Oklahoma trading hub were so full that no one wanted to take delivery of the stuff.
Now, oil is over $70 a barrel. This past May, the price of two-by-fours—a cut of wood used by builders—hit...
Keeping high-performance vehicles aligned generally requires watchful, regular maintenance, such as rotating the tires, checking the steering, and adjusting the suspension. Some only need minor calibration, while others need major realignment. Like vehicles, boards may require maintenance—or in a business context, education—and alignment.
So how does an organization consider and evaluate the board’s alignment? Alignment typically begins with leadership and its engagement structure. Board and management evaluations are catalysts for measuring alignment and for identifying or highlighting action points to achieve improved performance and collaboration.
Organizations that are not utilizing evaluations to measure board and management performance could be missing an opportunity for growth. Consider your organization’s board and management team: Is there room for improvement? Based on the Nasdaq Governance Solutions board engagement team’s...

Our employees take pride in making Nasdaq the leading company that it is, with respect for our diverse backgrounds and colleagues included. Through The OPEN (Out Proud Employees of Nasdaq), we recognize the milestones that created a momentous global culture shift, known as Pride Month, which we celebrate all year long.
From the work of active community members on the frontline, spearing the Stonewall uprising of 1969, the National March on Washington of 1979, to AIDS activists demanding treatment, all were critical to advancing the movement.

We honor their memory by continuing to educate, elevate and engage with the LGBTQ+ community.
For our Nasdaq Pride series, we will be featuring members integral to The OPEN and learn about how they are pushing for positive change in the workplace.

Today’s Big Picture
Equity indices in Asia closed the day’s trading modestly lower across the board led by the 0.06% dip in Japan’s Nikkei. By mid-day trading, equity indices in Europe were also modestly in the red, and U.S. futures point to a mixed open when those markets begin trading later this morning.
As we get ready to shut the books on June and Q2 2020 midweek, investors will parse through the limited amount of earnings reports this week to prepare for the onslaught of such reports soon after the Independence Day holiday. Meanwhile, June economic data this week will likely lead to the retouching of Q2 2021 GDP forecasts. For some context, as of last Friday, the New York Federal Reserve’s Nowcasting Report pegged Q2 2021 GDP at 3.39%, down considerably from its view of 5.28% on April 30.
New order data contained in several of the reports to have this week will indicate how Q3 2021 is likely to start while...
