On September 11th, 2001, Cantor Fitzgerald lost 658 employees in the World Trade Center attacks. Twenty-five years later, the firm has turned its worst day into one of Wall Street’s biggest days of giving. In this exclusive look inside Cantor’s New York trading floor, Chairman Brandon Lutnick and Executive Vice Chairman Kyle Lutnick explain how employees now waive a day’s pay for Charity Day, raising a record $15 million last year through the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and why they’re determined to top it on the 25th anniversary.

Glass House Analysis
International economic policy has concrete impacts far beyond diplomatic circles. Tariffs show up in the price of goods at stores, supply chain disruptions affect whether products are on shelves, and trade tensions can mean job losses in export-dependent industries. The globalized economy means that decisions made abroad can affect workers and consumers domestically.
The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
