Travelers walk through the terminal at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on May 1, 2026. Leslie Josephs | CNBC Higher fuel prices are testing how badly consumers want to travel this summer, whether flying or driving. Airfare hasn’t been this high since May 2022, when airlines stumbled out of the pandemic with aircraft and employee shortages to face hordes of consumers ready for “revenge travel.” Gasoline is above $4 a gallon and could go higher, AAA warned this week. Jet fuel prices doubled in the span of less than three months this year after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, kicking off a conflict that has left a key shipping channel effectively closed. Domestic round-trip airfares in April averaged $623, the highest in nearly four years, according to data from the Airlines Reporting Corporation, which tracks travel agency ticket sales.

Brandon Bell | Getty Images Two top Walmart executives are departing the company, nearly four months after CEO John Furner took over, according to internal memos viewed by CNBC on Friday. Tom Ward, the chief operating officer of Walmart’s warehouse chain Sam’s Club, is retiring, and Cedric Clark, Walmart’s executive vice president of U.S. store operations, is leaving the business, the memos show. A replacement for Clark is expected to be announced in the “coming weeks,” the memo said. It’s unclear when the company expects to fill Ward’s position. The leadership shuffle comes after Furner took over as Walmart’s CEO in February. Alongside Furner’s promotion, the company elevated four new top executives to work alongside him earlier this year. Seth Dallaire was promoted to chief growth officer, overseeing the company’s marketplace and advertising

A Target Built On Bold Math Saylor’s confidence ties back to a specific projection he has held for some time: a 30% average annual return for Bitcoin. That number forms the backbone of his prediction that Bitcoin will hit $13 million by 2045, a figure he arrived at by modeling a 29% yearly return sustained over roughly 19 years. Among the forces he expects to drive that growth are institutional adoption, government-level treasury strategy, and Bitcoin’s fixed supply — factors he believes will pull capital away from gold and traditional financial markets. $MSTR Co-Founder @saylor explains why he thinks $BTC will
