Over the past five months, the Strait of Hormuz has been closed for extended stretches of time, disrupting roughly 10 to 15 million barrels of oil supply each day. It is the biggest energy supply shock in history, but global energy markets are defying historical expectations. Despite lost production and heightened geopolitical instability, crude oil prices are far below the catastrophic levels many analysts predicted early on. But beneath the headline numbers, the broader energy system tells a far more complicated story. Refining margins have spiked to unprecedented levels, global coal consumption is pacing toward a new record high, and the ways energy moves around the world are changing in real time as the crisis continues to unfold. So, why hasn't this massive disruption triggered a full-blown global economic crisis? What role are China's massive strategic stockpiles, shifting demand patterns, and the ongoing energy transition playing in dampening the shock? And what are the long-term security implications for global oil refining, shipping chokepoints, and future LNG infrastructure? Today on the show, Jason Bordoff talks to Bloomberg opinion columnist Javier Blas about how the strait closure and Iran war have impacted global energy markets so far. Prior to joining Bloomberg in 2015, Javier held a number of roles at the Financial Times, including Africa editor and commodities editor. He is also the co-author of The World for Sale: Money, Power and the Traders Who Barter the Earth's Resources. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The yen held steady through the New York trading session on Monday, after a sharp advance earlier in the day that sparked speculation authorities may have intervened to support the currency again after last week's coordinated action between the US and Japan. Meantime, US and Japanese officials warned investors they're determined to keep defending the yen after jolting currency markets with their first joint intervention in 15 years. Bloomberg's Shery Ahn spoke to Shusuke Yamada, Chief Japan FX and Rates Strategist at BofA Global Research. Plus - President Donald Trump said his latest offer of talks is a "last chance" for Iran after he called off what he said was a major attack on the Islamic Republic. Iran denied it was negotiating with the US, but said talks with Oman to get more ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz are making progress. Bloomberg's Shery Ahn spoke to Mona Yacoubian, CSIS Director and Middle East Program Senior Adviser.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A full forensic timeline. Brady traced it end to end: a 2018 MicroPython software fallback sat harmless for three years until March 2021, when Coinkite moved to Bitcoin Core's math library and silently bound seed generation to that fallback. Lopp notes the bug lived in the build system, not the main code. Firmware 4.0.0 is the dividing line. Shipped March 17, 2021. Seeds generated before roughly March 1 are fine, and MK3 releases 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 were the last safe ones. Every default seed after that was weak. It was flagged in 2021 and dismissed. Four months after the bad firmware shipped, someone publicly raised Coldcard entropy concerns. NVK's reply called it FUD and demanded a line in the code. That post is deleted; an archived screenshot survives. The scope widened over the weekend. Coinkite added MK2 alongside MK3 and MK4, and confirmed Q and MK5 at roughly 72 bits rather than the expected 128. Independent analysis put the MK4 class nearer 50 to 60 bits in practice. Dice rolls and passphrases do not cover everything. Nine other Coldcard features draw from the same broken generator, including message signing and deriving keys for other purposes. BTC Sessions confirmed an MK4 with a one-word passphrase was drained. Scale, and Cory's proportion. Roughly 1,300 Bitcoin total, 594 in the first wave, with Chainalysis showing the highest-balance wallets targeted first. Cory noted centralized exchanges and lenders have lost about a thousand times more. The chip-ID recovery hope is gone. Holders were told earlier in the week to keep their devices because a chip signature might prove ownership. Brady reported that has since been shown not to work as hoped, narrowing recovery further. Vendor indictment or self-custody indictment? An audience question that framed the hour. Brady argued it is a challenge to upgrade toward multi-vendor multisig rather than a verdict on self-custody. One listener pushed back that the indictment already landed. Joe Nakamoto from Europe. He found almost nobody in his circle affected, since Coldcard's loudest advocates were largely American and circular economies mostly run on Lightning. Bloomberg was the only genuinely mainstream outlet, and its coverage was fair. Open source, and the AI asymmetry. Researchers keep reaching for Moonshot's open-weight Kimi K3 because US frontier models refuse legitimate security work. Rob Hamilton's decentralized effort to pentest Bitcoin repos received grant funding during the show.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The yen advanced sharply on Monday amid high alert in markets. This comes after Japan confirmed its first joint intervention with the US in currency markets in 15 years and warned that it was ready to act again, after the yen last week slid to a four-decade low. Japan’s Finance Ministry intervened in the market on Friday in coordination with the Treasury Department. US President Donald Trump earlier said the US joined the currency-market intervention as a sign of friendship with Japan, saying that he expects Washington to reap a financial benefit from helping the ally. Separately, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a post on X that the US stepped in to help fight “disorderly” movements in the yen and is ready to keep helping Japan. Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi-Stroud Watts spoke to Louise Loo, Head of Asia Economics at Oxford Economics. Amid US intervention with the yen in Japan, bond investors say the risk of a deeper Treasury rout is rising as Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh keeps investors in the dark about how officials will respond to the evolving economy. The Treasury market is signaling that Warsh's inflation-fighting credibility is eroding after he declined to outline how he plans to curb price pressures when policymakers left interest rates unchanged last week. The result is steeper borrowing costs for the government, homeowners and companies, with the rate on the 30-year Treasury at a 19-year high. Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Haidi-Stroud Watts spoke to Julia Wang, North Asia CIO for Nomura International Wealth Management.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
US crude prices fell below $80 for much of the day Monday as oil traders factored in a potential deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

August 1, 2026; 7am: Yesterday at Camp David, President Trump defended the anti-weaponization fund he and his attorney general have said is dead, and blamed a Democratic governor for a water-supply attack U.S. officials say was likely carried out by Iran. As Americans continue to face higher prices at the pump and the grocery store, Trump has received all-time low approval ratings across multiple polls this week, with just one-third of voters approving the job that Trump is doing as president.

Episode 4193 │ July 31, 2026 $700 billion into AI data centers. Zero measurable GDP growth outside the spending itself. Wall Street is starting to notice. The people already knew. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson closes out July — and a 26-day fast — with the most complete economic deconstruction of the AI hyperscaler model yet: a $700 billion annual capital expenditure cycle producing zero detectable macroeconomic productivity gain outside the tech sector itself, a circular financing structure Bloomberg mapped as Microsoft, OpenAI, and Nvidia essentially paying each other in a Ponzi loop, and AI stocks now representing 35% of the S&P 500 against a hollowed-out industrial base — making the current vulnerability structurally worse than the 1999 dot-com collapse, when America still made things. The episode then delivers the counter-narrative the hyperscalers did not see coming: consumer trust in AI as a decision-maker collapsed 28 points in 12 months, 50% of Gen Z is blocking AI-generated content, and what is actually emerging is not AI dependence but AI-assisted human discernment — people using the tool as a librarian rather than an oracle, making their own decisions better while refusing to let the machine make decisions for them, which is precisely why the profit model is breaking. Scott closes with the local sovereignty frame that underlies every episode — the real fight is land and water, not the building; the Community Sovereignty Framework v1.2 is free under every episode; and the people walking in the authority of Christ without fear of the tool are already winning, because the numbers confirm it. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What does the Deutsche Bank analysis of AI capital expenditure reveal — and why does $700 billion in annual hyperscaler spending producing zero measurable GDP growth outside the spending itself mean the AI economic model is structurally identical to the 1999 dot-com bubble, except with far less underneath it when it falls? What is the difference between AI as oracle and AI as librarian — and why does the collapse of consumer trust in AI decision-making alongside rising AI usage actually represent the most positive possible sign about human discernment and the people's capacity to use a tool without being used by it? Why does Scott argue that the real target in the fight against AI data centers is not the building or the company but the land and water rights that Wall Street will retain when the Ponzi loop collapses — and what does the Community Sovereignty Framework v1.2 give communities to fight that specific battle?

What's going on in the Chinese economy? China reported GDP growth of just 4.3% last quarter. Consumption is sluggish, exports are booming, electronics manufacturers and chipmakers are reporting huge profits as car sales slump. Joe Ngai and Nick Leung dive into the Chinese economy in their latest book The Next China Is Still China: An Insider's Playbook for Winning in the New Era (Scribner, 2026), which came out earlier this year. The book is motivated by a question many executives asked amid new U.S. tariffs and COVID-driven supply shocks: Is there another economy that can replace China's massive consumer market and deep manufacturing base? The answer: No. Joe Ngai is a McKinsey senior partner and chairman of the firm's offices in Greater China. Frequently seen on media such as CNBC and Bloomberg, he has been named one of Forbes China's 100 Most Influential Chinese Leaders, and he has also appeared on Bloomberg Businessweek China's “Person of the Year 2025” list. Nick Leung is a McKinsey senior partner and member of McKinsey's global board of directors. He is also a lead-director of the McKinsey Global Institute, the firm's independent research arm, where he directs research on macroeconomics, global trade, and geopolitics.

The housing market is "pretty good"—at least according to one of America's largest homebuilders. But pending sales are falling, mortgage rates are pressuring demand, and sellers in markets like Nashville are learning that buyers now have the leverage. In this live episode of tWiRE, we're looking at a housing market that is not collapsing—but is becoming increasingly divided. Large builders can offer rate buydowns and incentives. Affluent buyers are returning to vacation homes. Everyday buyers have more negotiating power in some cities but are still battling high prices and affordability. Meanwhile, sellers are discovering that their biggest objection may not be agent commissions—it's accepting what today's market will actually pay. The power structure of real estate is also shifting. Compass International Holdings is backing the American Real Estate Association as an alternative to traditional national representation, NAR is promoting progress on its strategic plan, and MLS associations and brokerages continue combining into larger organizations with more data, technology and influence. In this live episode, we'll cover: • Why PulteGroup's CEO says this is a "pretty good" housing market • Pending home sales hitting a three-month low • Nashville's dramatic shift toward buyers • Why accurate pricing is becoming the biggest listing challenge • Vacation-home demand and the widening divide between buyers • Compass joining the American Real Estate Association • NAR's latest strategic progress report • Brokerage, association and MLS consolidation • The lawsuit challenging New York City's rent freeze • Inman's plan to become the "Bloomberg of real estate" Is this actually a healthy housing market—or simply a market working well for the people and companies with the most cash, scale and leverage? Join us live on YouTube every Wednesday, 12 PM Central Time, and tell us what you're seeing in your market. #RealEstateNews #HousingMarket #RealEstateAgents

Bloomberg's Tom Keene, Jon Ferro and Lisa Abramowicz break down the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision on a special edition of Bloomberg Surveillance. Federal Reserve officials left interest rates unchanged, but a fractured vote signaled growing conviction among some policymakers that higher rates are needed to curb resurgent inflation. The Federal Open Market Committee voted 9-3 to hold the benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 3.5% to 3.75%. Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, Cleveland’s Beth Hammack and Minneapolis Fed chief Neel Kashkari dissented in favor of raising rates by a quarter percentage point. The committee’s post-meeting statement was otherwise identical to the one issued following their June meeting. Officials repeated their pledge to “deliver price stability.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former US Vice President Mike Pence reflects on the life and foreign-policy legacy of Senator Lindsey Graham, calling him a "tenacious advocate for American freedom at home and abroad." Pence says the greatest tribute to Graham would be for the Senate to advance tough new sanctions on Russia and "marshal the West again" in support of Ukraine.

In 2025 alone, battery EVs already displaced 57 million barrels of oil and kept about €4 billion in European wealth inside the bloc, with the report urging faster electrification alongside a stronger industrial base and energy resilience.FORD AND GEELY PLAN VALENCIA JOINT VENTUREFord and Geely Auto are forming a Europe-focused joint venture at Ford's Valencia plant in Spain, with Ford owning 66% and Geely 34%, aiming to start operations in early 2027 and begin production in 2028. The venture will build a new compact Bronco, a jointly developed multi-energy crossover, and two Geely-branded electric SUVs, while Kuga production continues uninterrupted during the transition.SENATE BILL COULD BAR MERCEDES FROM USThe Senate Commerce Committee advanced bipartisan legislation barring automakers with more than 15% Chinese ownership from selling cars in the US, a threshold Mercedes-Benz would exceed due to nearly 20% Chinese investor ownership. Committee chair Ted Cruz said the bill would effectively ban Mercedes, though the company would have until 2030 to comply or seek a waiver, with the measure still needing full Senate and House approval plus a presidential signature.RIVIAN CUTS BATTERY COST WITH STRUCTURAL PACKRivian slashed R2 battery-pack cost by switching to large-format 4695 cells, cutting cell count from 7,776 to 776, and making the pack structural to the vehicle floor, saving about 7mm of space used for extra protection and venting. The company made the pack non-serviceable at the cell level to simplify validation, instead consolidating serviceable electronics into a rear-seat "powerhouse" that cut high-voltage cabling by roughly 70% versus R1.TESLA SHEDS $214.5 BILLION AFTER EARNINGSTesla shares fell 14.5% to $319.69 after disappointing Q2 earnings, wiping $214.5 billion off its market value in the largest one-day loss in company history. The drop followed missed expectations, a more cautious timeline for Cybercab, Semi and Megapack 3, and Tesla's first negative free cash flow in two years amid $5.8 billion in quarterly capital spending.TESLA PUSHES BACK 2026 PRODUCTION GOALSTesla no longer expects volume production of the Cybercab, Semi, Megapack 3 or Optimus in 2026, blaming the need to scale 4680 battery output, even as quarterly revenue rose 26% to $28.2 billion on stronger deliveries. Despite the sales rebound, net income fell 5% to $1.1 billion, free cash flow turned negative $1 billion, and 2026 capital expenditure is now expected to reach $25 billion.DENZA Z9 GT OPENS UK ORDERSBYD's luxury brand Denza has opened UK orders for the Z9 GT shooting brake, starting at £105,000 for the EV and £95,000 for the plug-in hybrid, more than triple its Chinese starting price. The EV offers up to 599 km WLTP range, a 122.49 kWh Blade Battery 2.0 pack, tri-motor output of about 1,140 hp, and Flash Charging claiming 10-70% in roughly 5 minutes, as BYD tests premium pricing with a Daniel Craig/James Bond campaign.CARMAKERS PRESS UK TO REOPEN 2035 BANBMW, Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Bosch privately urged UK ministers in April to keep combustion, hybrid and range-extender vehicles on sale beyond 2035, citing the EU's softened 90% target and customer demand concerns. The Department for Transport insisted the 2035 phase-out is not being renegotiated, while critics including Polestar's UK boss and thinktank ECIU warned that delay risks jobs and climate goals despite the manufacturers employing about 30,000 people in the UK.BMW IX1 AND IX2 WIN FULL UK GRANTBMW secured the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant for the iX1 and iX2 in the UK, tied to its Science Based Targets commitment and the Regensburg plant's renewable energy use, making the iX1 eDrive20 Sport start at £33,315, cheaper than its petrol X1 equivalent. BMW also added a new, more affordable iX2 eDrive20 Sport variant at the same £33,315 starting price, alongside other grant-eligible trims.NHTSA OPENS RULE ON CAR DOOR ESCAPENHTSA has opened formal rulemaking on requiring reliable manual door-escape systems in new US cars, responding to a petition citing incidents where flush, electronic door handles—used notably by Tesla—trapped occupants after crashes or power loss. Bloomberg reported at least 15 deaths linked to such failures, and any final rule could force manufacturers to add mechanical backups and revise crash-test protocols, though the process is expected to take months to years.

We're running one of our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! Have you ever considered opening a franchise? Maybe you're looking for a new investment opportunity, or you're attracted to a business model where all the systems are already up and running. Today's guest breaks down what you need to know beforehand, the best industries to invest in, and what separates successful owners from the rest. Jon Ostenson is the Founder and CEO of FranBridge Consulting, an Inc. 5000 company and a top 1% franchise consultant. He's also the author of the bestselling book, "Non-Food Franchising." Jon draws on his experience as a former Inc. 500 franchise president and multi-brand franchisee to help his clients select their franchise investments. Jon is a frequent contributor on franchising for publications such as Forbes, Inc., and Bloomberg. Why Invest in a Franchise The franchise model offers some advantages over starting your own business. For one, the business has already proven to be successful. The franchise has a playbook for what works and what doesn't — all you need to do is execute it. You also have a community of other franchisees running the same business, where you can learn from each other and exchange best practices. What Makes a Successful Franchise Owner Some entrepreneurs struggle to run a franchise because they don't like following the playbook; they aren't coachable or willing to learn. As an owner, you need to trust the franchise that you bought into. The most successful franchise owners are the ones who follow the system the closest. You can innovate within the system, but don't try to reinvent the wheel. The second-most important characteristic is to be good with people. If you're a good person to work for and with, everything runs more smoothly. Being well-liked can even turn into a competitive advantage. Enjoy this episode with Jon Ostenson… Soundbytes 4:57–5:22 "The model has been proven out in other markets. You've got a playbook. It's all about going out and executing. So you're essentially starting on third base. You've got bulk buying of services or products, you get those synergies, but you also get a community of other franchisees, other people running the same business, day in, day out, in their markets, and you're constantly learning from each other and exchanging best practices. You're in business for yourself, but not by yourself." 18:31–18:57 "Our top performers had two characteristics. One, they were good with people, and that's just business 101. They're someone that people want to work for, work with. No, they don't have to be gregarious, but they're decent people. And then secondly, they're willing to follow a system. They've got the humility to say, hey, there's a reason why I bought into a franchise. I'm going to come in and trust you with what you're telling me. The ones that followed the system the closest were our most successful." Quotes "For most people, franchising is a better path to business ownership because it allows you to have those training wheels." "You've got to be someone that people want to work with." "If it were easy, everybody would be a business owner." "Be someone that people want to work for, and find your competitive advantage."
