Democrats' Landslide Win; Blue Wave Claims Senate & House
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) Democrats won control of both chambers of the US Congress in a midterm election landslide that amounted to a rejection of President Donald Trump following widespread voter discontent with the economy and the war in Iran. The Democratic rout sets up the first real check on Trump’s power in Washington since he returned to the White House last year, as the party rode a wave of voter dissatisfaction driven by the cost-of-living. The incoming Congress is sure to investigate Trump, his administration and businesses and stymie his legislative agenda. 2) Democrats' control of Congress is weighing on the shares of Tesla and SpaceX Shares. A so-called blue wave in the midterms will fan concerns about tighter regulations around artificial intelligence and call into doubt a potential merger of Tesla and SpaceX. Empowered Democrats may be able to slow down the potential merger, with Congress unable to single-handedly kill a deal, according to First New York's Vikram Rai. 3) Democrats scored a landslide victory in New York, flipping a marquee House seat and making deep inroads into some of the state’s most reliably conservative territory. Governor Kathy Hochul cruised to reelection by a double-digit margin, outperforming her six-point victory from 2022, while Democrat Cait Conley ousted Republican Representative Mike Lawler in the Hudson Valley. The victories marked a reversal from the political forces that reshaped New York in 2024, when Trump made striking gains across the state, particularly in New York City and its suburbs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Midterm Elections a Referendum on Trump; US-Iran Pursue Diplomacy
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) America’s referendum on President Trump’s second term is underway with the US midterm elections. Democrats are expected to take control of the House of Representatives, and winning the Senate is a real possibility, which would throw a wrench into Trump’s presidency. The election results may take weeks to be known due to individual states’ rules around counting mail-in votes and legal challenges, with the Justice Department already appealing a federal judge’s decision and the Supreme Court rejecting the Trump administration’s bid. 2) Apple delivered a mixed outlook to investors in its first quarterly report under Chief Executive Officer John Ternus, with tightening profit margins overshadowing an upbeat sales forecast. The company predicted revenue growth of 7% to 10% during the holiday season, but warned that gross margins would be thinner than projected due to higher memory costs and expenses related to the new Siri AI digital assistant. Total revenue rose 12% to $114.5 billion during the fiscal fourth quarter, with sales growth decelerating from a 16% clip in the previous three months, and the numbers from Apple’s iPad, China and wearables businesses were disappointing. 3) Iran and the US are reviewing the latest proposals from mediators on how to bridge their divides and avert another round of all-out war, according to a diplomat briefed on the matter. Qatari mediators flew to Tehran for more talks with Iranian officials, and Iran's parliament speaker said his country had "delivered a strong and rational response to the American side". The US overnight struck targets on the Iranian island of Qeshm, but oil prices tumbled around 10% on Monday on signs the White House is willing to allow more time for a diplomatic resolution.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Earnings Special: Apple's Forecast Disappoints, Despite Topping Estimates
Apple delivered a forecast for the holiday period that topped Wall Street estimates, even as it failed to impress investors who have bid up the shares in recent months. Revenue will rise 7% to 10% in the fiscal first quarter, which runs through December, Apple said during an earnings conference call Monday. Analysts had estimated 6.1% on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.The shares slumped about 4% in late trading, a sign of the lofty expectations surrounding Apple. After a rally added roughly $1 trillion in market value to the company since late June, investors were betting on a blockbuster report. For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Businessweek Daily hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with Bloomberg Intelligence senior tech analyst Anurag Rana and Bloomberg News managing editor for global consumer tech, Mark Gurman.

Trump Midterm Push; Stevens and El-Sayed Split Ahead of Election
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Representative Haley Stevens backed Republican candidate Mike Rogers, breaking with Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed. Stevens' endorsement of Rogers sparked anger from prominent Democrats, with some calling for her to be stripped from her committees. The episode highlights fissures between ideological progressives and moderate party members, particularly over support for Israel in its wars with Iran and Gaza.2) President Trump is concluding his final electoral campaign with a whirlwind sprint across the country to turn out his most fervent supporters and thwart Democratic designs to curtail his power. Most surveys give rival Democrats strong odds of gaining congressional seats needed to take control of the House, and Democrats are increasingly optimistic that they have multiple routes to the Senate. Republican insiders describe a Senate map that’s still largely in toss-up territory or within reach for a win, and they envision a path to Senate control that involves holding seats in states such as Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska.3) Howard Marks said recent artificial intelligence related market stumbles have burst the bubble of infallibility around the sector. Marks stated that investors are showing less tolerance for tech companies whose core businesses are cooling beneath an unprecedented AI spending spree. Jody Jonsson said a disconnect exists between what AI companies expect and the pace at which enterprises can actually adopt the technology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Instant Reaction: Wall Street Gets AI Wake-Up Call with Deep Tech Selloff
Wall Street got a reality check as a bruising selloff in technology shares fueled concern the artificial-intelligence frenzy that has powered the equity bull market might be overblown. Disappointing tech results spurred the worst drop for stocks since June, with the Nasdaq 100 falling 3.5% and briefly crossing the threshold of a technical correction. Intel Corp. slid the most in over four decades as its outlook missed estimates. Amazon.com Inc. slipped 1.4% on greater capital spending. The S&P 500 dropped 1.8%, breaching its key 100-day moving average.For a quick recap of a bruising trade for big tech and equities broadly, hosts Tim Stenovec and Jess Menton speak with Bloomberg Markets Live blog managing editor Kristine Aquino.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Shifts to Remote Rallies; Binance Suffers Massive Crypto Hack
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) Just days ahead of the Midterm elections, President Trump canceled appearances in Kansas and Iowa and will instead hold "a large number of tele-rallies." The Republican National Committee said the tele-rallies "can reach more voters in the limited time left before polls close." The president has been campaigning nonstop — chiefly in states where Republicans are usually assured of victory — but this year faces robust challenges from Democratic candidates who have taken advantage of voter discontent over rising costs as well as the war in Iran. 2) Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has suffered the industry’s biggest-ever hack, with $6.3 billion worth of funds affected and $3 billion in crypto frozen. The company will cover all losses and “user funds are safe,” it said, and withdrawals are expected to resume by Sunday as it works with law enforcement and completes a security revamp. Blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs said North Korea was behind the heist, which it called “the largest crypto theft on record,” and attributed the attack to North Korea’s elite hacking unit, TraderTraitor. 3) Amazon shares dropped after the company reported greater capital spending than anticipated and the slowest growth in the core e-commerce business in three years. Intel shares also fell after its revenue forecast missed analysts' estimates, hurt by demand for PC processors and supply-chain problems with data center components. Overall, disappointing tech earnings accelerated a rotation out of the tech sector.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
