  • Iran Deal $300B Sweetener, SpaceX Overtakes Amazon, AI CEO Career Coaches

    Iran Deal $300B Sweetener, SpaceX Overtakes Amazon, AI CEO Career Coaches
    Jun 17 2026
    Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

    On today's podcast:

    (1) Iran is set to receive broad financial incentives as part of its agreement with the US, including the right to sell oil immediately, tap a $300 billion development fund and get eventual access to its frozen assets, according to a final draft of the deal.

    (2) European Central Bank officials are signaling that a US-Iran peace accord won’t necessarily stop them lifting interest rates further, even if it prevents a more pronounced overshoot in inflation.

    (3) Federal Reserve policymakers are expected to hold interest rates steady on Wednesday, posing an early test for new chairman Kevin Warsh as rising inflation erodes households’ purchasing power and President Donald Trump continues to press for lower borrowing costs.

    (4) SpaceX jumped for a third straight day on Tuesday, overtaking Amazon.com in value to become the fifth-largest stock in the world.

    (5) HSBC said it will use Alphabet’s Google Cloud to roll out artificial intelligence across its global operations, including through projects that can each generate more than $100 million in extra revenue or savings.

    (6) When Rupert Lowe was ejected from Reform UK in early 2025 over alleged bullying and threatening behavior, party leader Nigel Farage thought he was cutting loose a liability. Instead, he created one of a different kind.

  • Hormuz Reality Check, SpaceX Keeps Surging, Jobs Shape Political Fight

    Hormuz Reality Check, SpaceX Keeps Surging, Jobs Shape Political Fight
    Jun 16 2026
    Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

    On today's podcast:

    (1) US President Donald Trump keeps repeating that the Strait of Hormuz — through which one fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies normally flow — will reopen by Friday.

    (2) The UK said it would impose fresh sanctions on Russia and extend further energy support to Ukraine, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his European allies seek to increase pressure on Vladimir Putin and encourage US President Donald Trump to push for new peace talks to end the conflict.

    (3) Swiss voters are more inclined to back closer ties with the European Union than reject it, a poll showed in the wake of a plebiscite that had threatened to upend the relationship.

    (4) China’s consumer spending and investment slumped to levels unseen since the pandemic, exposing risks still facing the economy even as it benefits from a deescalation in tensions around Iran while exports boom.

    (5) SpaceX shares jumped in their second day of trading, adding to gains following a blockbuster debut that instantly vaulted it into the ranks of the world’s most valuable public companies.

    (6) Andy Burnham, the prime ministerial-hopeful who markets worry may be too far to the Left, has at least one economic idea that should go down well across the political spectrum: reverse deindustrialization.

  • US & Iran Agree Deal, Stocks Rally As Oil Drops, UK Social Media Ban

    US & Iran Agree Deal, Stocks Rally As Oil Drops, UK Social Media Ban
    Jun 15 2026
    Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

    On today's podcast:

    (1) The US and Iran said they reached an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, halting a war that killed thousands of people and setting the stage for 60 days of negotiations on the fate of Tehran’s nuclear program.

    (2) Oil sank after the US and Iran agreed to an interim deal to end their months-long war, potentially allowing the Strait of Hormuz to reopen and easing a supply crunch that has rattled global energy markets.

    (3) “We are prepared to lift relevant sanctions in response to clear, verifiable steps by Iran on its nuclear programme,” according to a joint statement from the leaders of the UK, France, Germany and Italy.

    (4) The Iran war has produced an unusual sight on the Bank of England’s rate-setting panel: unity. Economists don’t expect it to last.

    (5) Artificial intelligence is pulling the global labor market in two opposite directions, rewarding companies that use AI to enhance human skills, while leaving those who use it merely to cut costs further behind, a new study suggests.

    (6) Keir Starmer will start a crucial week for his premiership by announcing a package of strong restrictions designed to protect British teenagers from online threats.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
