US at Odds With Allies Over Hormuz, G7 Summit in France Begins
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.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.But on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit, where Iran likely dominated Monday’s dinner conversation, it’s clear that his European allies don’t share his optimism. They disagree that trade can resume by week’s end, like Trump promised, and have practical questions about what exactly was agreed before they can commit to de-mining missions and patrols.2) The UK announced new sanctions on what it said was a Russian intelligence network that has been acquiring Western technology for its military to use in Ukraine, as well as a further clampdown on its shadow fleet and illicit finance programs. Britain’s Foreign Office said it was exposing a front company called LLC Neptune Co Ltd, which it said was controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, and was involved in covertly procuring Western technology for the country’s military.3) SpaceX shares surged in premarket trading, putting the stock on track to extend a rally following its blockbuster debut last week. The shares rose 11% in New York, poised to build on the more than 40% gain across SpaceX’s first two sessions as a public company. The gains have lifted the market value of the rocket and AI company founded by Elon Musk above $2.5 trillion as of Monday’s close, bringing it within striking distance of Amazon.com Inc.’s nearly $2.7 trillion valuation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US, Iran Halt War; Global Stocks Surge on Deal
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) The US and Iran reached an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, halting a war that killed thousands of people and setting the stage for negotiations on the fate of Tehran’s nuclear program. Officials from the two countries will meet in Switzerland to formally sign the agreement, with key sticking points left for the next stage of talks, including the removal of sanctions and financial incentives for Iran. The agreement could bring peace and security to the region, but its details remain unresolved, and both sides are casting the deal in different lights, underscoring the difficulties that may lie ahead in resolving outstanding issues. 2) Inflation is roaring back at the fastest pace in three years, and investors have been dumping US Treasury bonds and piling into bets the Fed will need to start raising rates by December. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is facing an unusually high-stakes test in his first FOMC meeting as Fed chair, with his maiden press conference and the Fed's post-meeting statement and forecasts to be scoured for clues on what's next. Warsh's commitment to maintaining the bank's political independence will be reassured if he sends a convincing message that the Fed is willing to shift back into inflation-fighting mode, but falling short will rattle markets already worried he could jeopardize the Fed's credibility. 3) SpaceX shares jumped in premarket trading Monday, after its blockbuster debut Friday vaulted it into the ranks of the world’s most valuable public companies. The performance helped bolster confidence in the artificial intelligence rally, following SpaceX’s embrace of AI earlier this year with the acquisition of Musk’s xAI. It also boosted the IPO prospects of Anthropic PBC and OpenAI, both of which plan go public themselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Instant Reaction: SpaceX Jumps in First Trades Following Record $75 Billion IPO
Shares of SpaceX climbed in their first day of trading on Friday following a $75 billion IPO that smashed records and instantly turned the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire into one of the most valuable public companies in the world. The stock climbed as high as $176.52, or 31% above its offering price, less than two hours after the shares started trading shortly before noon in New York. The jump in price turned Musk into the world’s first trillionaire and sent the company’s market capitalization above $2 trillion. For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg's Kailey Leinz speaks with: Yahaira Anand, Bloomberg Television Reporter Craig Trudell, Bloomberg News Managing Editor of Global Business Coverage Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech co-host See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SpaceX IPO Debuts; US-Iran Deal Nears
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US and Iran are edging closer to signing an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to senior officials. A deal is likely to take the form of a memorandum of understanding, and Geneva is being considered as a potential location for the signing. An Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said "we have not yet reached a conclusion on this matter", despite reports of progress toward ending the war.2) SpaceX made history with a $75 billion IPO and now needs the market's validation of its ambition to dominate AI and carry humans to the moon and Mars. The company's IPO was more than four times oversubscribed, and indications are that SpaceX shares could open with a pop of at least 35% on its first day of trading. The trading will determine whether Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire and will also affect the prospects for initial public offerings from SpaceX's AI rivals Anthropic PBC and OpenAI.3) The New York Knicks are on the cusp of winning the NBA finals, and SpaceX is poised to go public in the biggest IPO in history. The NBA finals have had a significant economic impact, with high ticket prices and increased merchandise sales, and ratings are higher than they've been in decades. The SpaceX IPO could have a significant market impact, with investors having mixed views on the company's valuation and potential for growth in the AI sector.

Knicks Historic Comeback; Trump Promises Iran Attacks if No Deal
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The New York Knicks came from 29 points down to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, taking a 3-1 lead in the series. The Knicks' win was capped off by OG Anunoby's tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining, which followed a long 3-point shot by Jalen Brunson that bounced off the front of the rim. The Spurs had led 81-52 in the third quarter, but the Knicks outscored them 58-30 in the second half to complete the record-breaking comeback.2) President Trump said he will continue bombing Iran if it refuses to agree to an interim peace deal, following a second night of clashes between the countries’ forces. Iran retaliated by firing on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, and said the Strait of Hormuz would be closed to all types of vessels. Trump ordered multiple strikes, including around 50 Tomahawk missiles, which Central Command described as “self-defense strikes,” in a signal that Trump wants to avoid restarting a full-on war.3) US inflation accelerated in May to the fastest pace in more than three years as the Iran war pushed up energy prices, outstripping Americans’ pay gains. Still, President Trump sought to downplay the CPI data, calling the figures “great” and suggesting fuel costs would be even higher if not for US efforts to get oil shipments out of the Strait of Hormuz. “You know what I really love? I love the inflation,” Trump said Wednesday. That’s because once the war is over “it’s going to come down like a rock.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US-Iran Exchange Strikes; Platner Wins Maine Primary
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US and Iran exchanged strikes overnight after President Trump retaliated against Tehran for shooting down an American Apache helicopter. The US military said it had completed an operation that saw fighter jets strike Iranian air defenses, ground control stations, and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran launched missiles on four American targets and fired drones at the US's main naval base in the Middle East, with no immediate reports of casualties in any of the attacks.2) Progressive Democrat Graham Platner won the party's Senate primary in Maine with about 72% support. Platner's campaign was marked by accusations of past misbehavior, including a Nazi symbol tattoo and disturbing behavior towards ex-girlfriends, which he has denied or acknowledged as mistakes. Platner will face Republican incumbent Susan Collins in the November Senate race, which Democrats consider crucial to reclaiming the chamber. Incumbent Lindsey Graham, who was endorsed by President Trump, is projected to win the Republican Senate primary in South Carolina, according to DDHQ. Representative Nancy Mace, once a close Trump ally, finished in last place in the state's gubernatorial race, saying her support for releasing the Epstein files is why she lost. Trump-backed Pamela Evette, South Carolina's lieutenant governor, and state attorney general Alan Wilson advanced to a runoff.3) Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is set to appear*behind closed doors before the House panelinvestigating Jeffrey Epstein. Gates has reportedly been getting some help from Jake Greenberg, who, according to the New York Times, was spearheading the oversight panel's Epstein inquiry until December. The Gates Foundation, which has launched an external review of Gates' ties with Epstein, told the Financial Times that it regretted "having any employees interact with Epstein in any way." Gates has not been charged with anything and has called his relationship with Epstein a "huge mistake" and denied any wrongdoing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Renews Iran Deal Claims; Knicks Drop Game 3 to the Spurs
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump renewed his claims of momentum toward ending the conflict with Iran after a halt to hostilities between Israel and Iran. Iran and Israel agreed to halt strikes on each other following a flare-up that saw both countries launch waves of ballistic missiles, with a ceasefire in place for about two months. Trump told reporters that "we're in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal" and that they "could have at least an idea one or two days from now" about the deal.2) The race for California governor is on track for a two-person runoff in November between Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton. Becerra took first place in the primary with more than 27% of the vote, while Hilton was in second at 25%, according to a tally by Decision Desk HQ. The runoff sets up a showdown along party lines for the governorship of the nation’s most populous state, with Becerra vowing to tackle California’s affordability crisis and Hilton campaigning on criticizing Democratic power in California.3) The New York Knicks lost their first home NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden since 1999, with a 115-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Tickets for the game were priced as high as six figures, with demand so high that secondary market tickets reached well into the thousands. The game was attended by notable figures including President Donald Trump, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and celebrities such as Spike Lee, Jay-Z, and Jon Stewart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
