This episode focuses on what rising interest rates are really signaling, why stock market strength may be masking weakness beneath the surface, and how investors should think about bond allocations in a higher-for-longer rate environment.Liz Ann Sonders argues that the relationship between stocks and bonds has fundamentally changed from the "Great Moderation" era. Rather than rising bond yields reflecting stronger growth and supporting stocks, today's environment looks more like an earlier inflation-driven period where higher yields can put pressure on equity valuations. Despite the S&P 500 sitting near record highs, she notes that market leadership remains highly concentrated in a small group of mega-cap technology stocks. Beneath the surface, market breadth has deteriorated significantly, with relatively few stocks making new highs and many experiencing bear market-like drawdowns. Her takeaway for investors is to avoid becoming overly concentrated, maintaining long-term time horizons, and recognize that headline index performance tells only part of the story.Collin explains that the recent rise in Treasury yields has been relatively orderly and is not primarily being driven by a surge in the term premium or investor fears about Treasury demand. Instead, yields are reflecting a resilient economy, sticky inflation, and expectations for additional Federal Reserve tightening.Finally, Collin and Liz Ann look ahead to next week's upcoming macroeconomic indicators and key data releases.

The beginning of the new financial year. What did the markets do over the past 12 months? What are the stocks to keep an eye on for future gains? 

Every time we open a news app, we are hit with a fresh wave of economic dread.

Longtime Planet Money contributor Alex Mayyasi joins host Zachary Karabell to offer a badly needed dose of fresh air to clear out the oppressive nature of recent economic news.Mayyasi and Karabell look at the very human reasons behind our financial panic. Mayyasi explains how Wall Street actively profits from keeping the average person confused, why working class wage increases get reported to the rest of us as frightening inflation, and the psychological strange magic of living through a growing economy with the consumer sentiment of the 2008 crash.

Tara breaks down stronger-than-expected jobs data, rising wages, and bold predictions of a political and economic shakeup heading into the midterms. HOOK The economy is “smoking hot” heading into fall — at least according to new jobs numbers and top political voices. Tara says the data signals a major shift, and some insiders are predicting a political earthquake ahead. DESCRIPTION Today's AMPERWAVE DAILY dives into fresh economic data showing U.S. job growth beating expectations, with payrolls rising by 115,000 and wage growth holding steady at 4.4%. Tara and Lee break down claims that the economy is rebounding after years of wage stagnation and inflation pressures tied to federal spending and monetary policy under President Joe Biden. The episode also highlights commentary from economic voices like Larry Kudlow and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who argue the economy and political landscape are shifting rapidly ahead of the next election cycle. Tara also discusses broader debates over wages, inflation, purchasing power, and how recent policy shifts under President Donald Trump may be impacting economic momentum and voter sentiment heading into the midterms. KEY TOPICS Stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report Wage growth and purchasing power trends Inflation vs. earnings debate ADP employment data and revisions Economic comparison: Biden vs. Trump eras Midterm election predictions Newt Gingrich forecast of GOP gains Larry Kudlow on economic acceleration Federal Reserve / inflation policy implications SEGMENTS SEGMENT 1 — “Jobs Report Shock” Tara opens with the latest employment data showing 115,000 new jobs added, with unemployment steady at 4.3%. The discussion focuses on why economists were caught off guard and what the numbers suggest about underlying labor market strength. SEGMENT 2 — “Wages vs. Inflation Battle” The conversation turns to wage growth at 4.4% and debates over inflation's impact on purchasing power. Tara argues that rising wages may be slowly offsetting earlier inflation pressures tied to government spending policies. SEGMENT 3 — “Economic Policy Showdown” The hosts compare current economic trends with previous years under President Joe Biden and discuss claims that earlier monetary expansion contributed to inflation and wage stagnation concerns. SEGMENT 4 — “Midterm Earthquake Predictions” Political heavyweight commentary from Larry Kudlow and Newt Gingrich fuels speculation that Republicans could see significant gains if current economic momentum continues into the election cycle under President Donald Trump. QUOTE OF THE DAY “You could see the economy is going to be smoking by this fall.” SOCIAL MEDIA TEASER

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this brief travel-day episode of The Wright Report, Bryan shares major political fallout from Indiana's state Senate races, where Republican primary voters sent a loud message to GOP leaders: fight back in the redistricting wars or get replaced. He explains how five of President Trump's seven endorsed candidates won, replacing Republican officials who refused to aggressively redraw congressional maps and allowed Democrats to hold House seats in otherwise deep-red territory. Bryan says the results signal that GOP voters across the country want stronger action at both the state and federal level as the battle over House control intensifies heading into the midterms. He also previews Secretary of State Marco Rubio's upcoming trip to Italy to meet with Pope Leo as tensions continue over immigration and the war with Iran, and delivers a surprising update from the Middle East: the White House says the offensive phase of the Iran conflict is over, while President Trump has suddenly paused Project Freedom and eased pressure in the Strait of Hormuz to give peace negotiations more room. Bryan signals strong disagreement with that move, arguing Iran only responds to strength and warning against allowing Tehran to control one of the world's most critical waterways. Plus, Bryan highlights encouraging economic news for the White House, with factory orders and hiring both rising more than expected despite ongoing pressure from fuel prices, and shares an update on his America 250th anniversary Oregon film project, now heading into editing with teaser videos coming soon.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Indiana GOP primary redistricting fight 2026 Trump endorsements House seats, Republican gerrymandering strategy state senate elections Indiana, Marco Rubio Pope Leo meeting immigration Iran conflict Vatican, Trump pauses Project Freedom Strait of Hormuz peace talks Iran 2026, Iran ceasefire negotiations offensive phase over White House update, US factory orders rise March 2026 hiring growth Trump economy, gas prices inflation approval ratings economic outlook, America 250th anniversary Oregon documentary Bryan Dean Wright, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers a dramatic weekend inside Iran, including a high-risk U.S. rescue mission behind enemy lines, escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, and new signals from the White House on what comes next in the war. He details the extraordinary recovery of two downed U.S. airmen in Iran, including a complex operation involving special forces, deception tactics, and reported CIA involvement that helped mislead Iranian forces during the rescue. Bryan also explains why this mission was both a tactical success and a psychological blow to the Iranian regime, while warning that the conflict is far from over as Iran continues attacks across the region and the U.S. weighs its next moves. On the domestic front, Bryan highlights a series of immigration-related arrests tied to national security concerns, including individuals with alleged ties to Iran's leadership and extremist activity. He also breaks down the growing debate over birthright citizenship and deportation policies, alongside new economic data showing strong job growth but rising pressure from energy costs tied to the ongoing war.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Operation Epic Fury Iran rescue mission CIA role, US airmen rescue Iran 2026, Strait of Hormuz shipping crisis oil prices, Trump Iran war escalation timeline, immigration arrests Iranian nationals US security, birthright citizenship Supreme Court debate 2026, US jobs report March 2026 economy growth, gas prices California diesel $8 gallon, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

AI is becoming a scale and control business. On Episode 297 of The Six Five Pod, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman examine the companies building the infrastructure, forming the alliances, and making the moves that will define who wins and who gets squeezed out. Control is shifting across compute, models, infrastructure, and enterprise distribution as NVIDIA, Microsoft, OpenAI, Meta, and others push to control the next phase of the AI market. The handpicked topics for this week are: NVIDIA's Full-Stack Push Gets Bigger: Following the GTC conference in San Jose, Pat and Dan break down how NVIDIA continues expanding beyond GPUs with Vera CPU, Dynamo, and a broader agentic AI stack designed to unify training, inference, orchestration, and enterprise-grade security. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Amazon Enter a New Phase of Tension: With Microsoft reportedly weighing legal action over OpenAI's growing AWS relationship, the discussion turns to exclusivity, multi-cloud strategy, and what happens when one of AI's most important alliances starts to crack. China, Compute, and the Geopolitics of AI Access: The hosts examine NVIDIA's reported H200 restart for China and what it says about export controls, policy pressure, and the global fight over advanced AI compute. Meta's $27B Infrastructure Agreement Signals the Real Race: Meta's latest infrastructure deal reinforces a central point of this episode, demand for AI capacity is still outrunning supply, and hyperscalers are moving aggressively to lock in long-term compute. OpenAI's Enterprise Push Raises Bigger Business Model Questions: As OpenAI leans harder into enterprise and eyes an eventual IPO, Pat and Dan unpack what this pivot says about monetization pressure, competitive positioning, and the need to prove a durable AI business model. The GPU Smuggling Story Shows How Valuable AI Hardware Has Become: A major smuggling case involving NVIDIA hardware spotlights the black market for AI chips and the growing intersection of compute, national security, and enforcement. The Flip: Did NVIDIA Just Change the Inference Market Again? This week's debate centers on whether NVIDIA's $20bn Groq Technology deal kills the standalone inference chip market, or whether it actually validates the market by proving just how strategically important specialized inference has become. The Fed, Micron, and Accenture Reflect a More Complicated Market: In Bulls and Bears, the hosts cover the Fed's latest decision, Micron's AI-driven momentum, and why Accenture's results still ran into skepticism despite strong execution. Meta's Workforce Cuts and AI Spend Reflect the New Corporate Tradeoff: The episode closes on the growing tension between rising AI investment and labor efficiency, as companies look for ways to fund massive infrastructure and token budgets while restructuring headcount.
