Senior US officials are preparing for the possibility of a strike on Iran in the coming days, according to people familiar with the matter, a sign that Washington is assembling the infrastructure to directly enter a conflict with Tehran.Meantime, there are a lot of unknowns about the outlook for the economy and interest rates, but Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled at least one thing seems certain: Higher prices are coming. Policymakers voted unanimously to hold interest rates steady for a fourth straight meeting Wednesday as they await clarity on whether tariffs will leave a one-time or more lasting mark on inflation. Powell said it’s still unclear how much of the bill will fall on the shoulders of consumers, but he expects to learn more about tariffs this summer. For more, we speak to Mark Cranfield, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist in Singapore.Plus - for more on the Federal Reserve's latest decision, we heard from Betsey Stevenson.

The South African government - under land redistribution - has acquired about 2.5 million hectares of land that has not yet been transferred. That is the figure given by Wandile Sihlobo, the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa, in this interview with BizNews. “That is in the government land holding account, as I speak with you. That land has not been transferred to Black South Africans with title deeds.” Sihlobo also releases the 2nd Quarter results of the Agribusiness Confidence Index that show there is still optimism in the South African agricultural sector.: https://www.agbiz.co.za/article/agbiz-idc-agribusiness-confidence-index-declines-mildly-in-q2-2025-498 He further debunks some of the myths and misconceptions around land reform and Expropriation Without Compensation (EWC). He comments on China planning to lower tariffs on a range of goods from African countries, and outlines ways to diversify export markets. Meanwhile, he is highly optimistic about the future of farming: “While some have portrayed the South African agricultural sector in the past few days and months as a sector that is under siege, it actually is not under siege…If anything, it is actually thriving… We are talking about a sector that has more than doubled in value and in volume terms since 1994.” Shilobo is the author of three books, “The Uncomfortable Truth About South Africa's Agriculture (2025)”, “A Country of Two Agricultures: The Disparities, The Challenges, The Solutions (2023)” and “Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture (2020)”.

An increasing number of regional conflicts - as well as Donald Trump's tariffs, are threatening the global economy. Westpac Group Chief Economist Luci Ellis told Mike Hosking that she believes the tariffs were economic self-harm.

Regulations, snarled supply chains, and the scarring effects of the global financial crisis have all contributed to a nationwide housing shortage over the last fifteen years. As housing unaffordability continues to limit prospective homebuyers, homebuilders must now contend with federal policies that will impact housing demand, labor availability, and costs for building materials. In this episode, we talk with Robert Dietz, Chief Economist with the National Association of Home Builders, about why there's a national housing shortage, how homebuilders view new federal policies, and the best ways to improve residential construction.

Stocks fell along with equity-index futures and investors rushed to the safety of havens such as Treasuries after Israel attacked Iran's nuclear program sites. Crude oil jumped more than 9% while gold also rose. We get the latest on what's moving markets from Mary Nicola, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist in Singapore. Plus - Treasuries rallied across the curve on Thursday, bringing the 10-year yield six basis points lower to around 4.36%. The gains were supported by the second US inflation print in as many days that came in below consensus forecasts, backing the argument for Fed cuts. The dollar hit a three-year low. The producer price index rose 0.1% from a month earlier, compared with the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists that called for a 0.2% increase. A solid sale of long-term US government debt added further impetus for the rally, reducing fears that spiraling deficits are causing investors to shun the bonds. We talk inflation and trade with Natalia Gurushina, Chief Economist for EM Fixed Income Strategy at VanEck.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mit 18 reich? Klingt utopisch – ist aber machbar, wenn man heute klug startet. In dieser echtgeld.tv-Episode sprechen Tobias Kramer und Christian W. Röhl (Chief Economist bei Scalable Capital) über echte Vermögensbildung – und warum es sich lohnt, weit vor dem Ruhestand an den eigenen Vermögensaufbau zu denken. Der Anlass: das neue Kinderdepot von Scalable, das bald startet und für Familien einen einfachen, kostengünstigen Einstieg in den Kapitalmarkt bietet (Jetzt vormerken: https://de.scalable.capital/kinderdepot). Doch es bleibt nicht beim Produkt: Die beiden sprechen über die demografische Krise, die Schwächen des Rentensystems und die Notwendigkeit finanzieller Eigenverantwortung. Dabei zeigen sie eindrucksvoll, warum „Altersvorsorge“ nicht mehr ausreicht – und wie Kinder und Eltern gemeinsam finanziell stark werden können.

The 2025 spending review on 11 June is a critical moment for Keir Starmer's government. Almost a year since Labour's general election victory, Rachel Reeves will set budgets for departments up to 2028/29 – which will cover most of the rest of the parliament. But the chancellor is facing difficult choices – and her decisions will reveal a great deal about this government's priorities. Will the spending allocations be sufficient to improve public services, deliver growth and make progress on the government's other missions? Which departments will be pleased – and which will lose out? And will this multi-year spending review reveal a coherent strategy for the government over the next few years? To answer these questions and more, IfG experts convened shortly after the chancellor's announcement to provide their initial analysis.

On WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Telis Demos and Gunjan Banerji start the show by looking at why rare earth magnets remain at the center of trade talks with China. Why are business leaders like Elon Musk and Jamie Dimon critical of President Trump's tax and spending bill, and what does it mean for bonds and the deficit? Plus, we take a look at inflation ahead of this week's CPI report. Later on the show, Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, gives his take on all the policy balls in the air and how where they land will affect the economy. He shares which economic barometers he's keeping an eye on – from employment rates and immigration to inflation and consumer sentiment – and which give him confidence in a resilient U.S. economy. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

Episode 419 is the fifth episode in the Hundred Year Pivot podcast series. In it, Demetri Kofinas and Grant Williams speak with fmr. Chief Economist for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Dr. Charles Calomiris about America's economic emergency and what our response to it should be once conditions push the country into a full-blown political crisis at some point over the next few years. In this incredibly timely conversation, Charles Calomiris explains what the recent moves in gold, bitcoin, and long-term bond yields suggest about where we are on the path toward financial repression as we explore the implications of this trajectory for investors, businesses, and everyday depositors who will be conscripted in the battle to fight the deficit as the nation moves from spending like a banana republic to inflating like one. We end the episode with a candid conversation about the sources of both America's decline and the country's potential for renewal once the reality of the current crisis becomes impossible to ignore.
