C dans l'air du 17 mars 2026 - Ormuz : Trump met la pression, Macron dit non Au dix-huitième jour du conflit déclenché par Israël et les États-Unis, Téhéran subit des frappes intenses tandis que les combats s'étendent au Liban, en Irak et dans le Golfe. Surpris par la riposte iranienne, le président des États-Unis fait pression sur ses alliés et sur la Chine pour qu'ils assurent la sécurité de la navigation des pétroliers dans le détroit d'Ormuz. « S'il n'y a pas de réponse [à la requête américaine], ou si celle-ci est négative, je pense que cela aura des conséquences très mauvaises pour l'avenir de l'OTAN », a même menacé lundi Donald Trump dans une interview au Financial Times.Il a par ailleurs admis ne pas s'attendre à la réponse iranienne à l'attaque du 28 février, en particulier aux frappes sur les pays du Golfe. « Personne ne s'y attendait. Nous avons été choqués », a-t-il affirmé. « Les plus grands experts, personne ne pensait qu'ils allaient frapper » dans le Golfe. « C'étaient, je ne dirais pas des pays amis, […] plutôt des pays neutres ».Un cinquième du pétrole brut et du gaz naturel liquéfié mondiaux transitent habituellement par le détroit d'Ormuz. Le président américain espérait notamment l'aide des pays de l'OTAN et d'Asie pour débloquer ce passage stratégique et le sécuriser. Mais en Europe, l'Allemagne et la Grande-Bretagne excluent une opération de l'Alliance atlantique. Emmanuel Macron a rappelé que « la France n'a pas choisi cette guerre, nous n'y prendrons pas part ». Le Japon et l'Australie, alliés historiques des États-Unis, ont eux aussi écarté l'envoi de navires de guerre.Parallèlement, l'armée israélienne a lancé des « opérations terrestres » contre le Hezbollah dans le sud du Liban et a affirmé avoir porté un « coup significatif » au régime des mollahs avec l'élimination, lundi soir près de Téhéran, d'Ali Larijani, considéré comme l'homme « qui dirigeait de facto l'ensemble du régime iranien ». L'Iran, qui n'a pas confirmé sa mort, a déclenché une nouvelle vague d'attaques contre Israël, lançant notamment des missiles Sejil sur le territoire israélien. Jusqu'ici rarement utilisé en situation réelle, que signifie l'entrée en scène de ce missile balistique iranien, capable de percer le dôme de fer israélien, de parcourir près de 2 000 kilomètres et, donc, d'atteindre potentiellement l'Europe ou les bases américaines au Moyen-Orient ?Depuis le déclenchement des frappes israélo-américaines, l'Iran a engagé une riposte balistique d'ampleur. Mais le régime a-t-il l'armement nécessaire pour une guerre qui dure ? Que sait-on de ses capacités militaires ? Joseph Kent, directeur du Centre national de lutte contre le terrorisme aux États-Unis, a annoncé ce mardi sa démission en raison de la guerre contre l'Iran, affirmant dans une lettre à Donald Trump diffusée sur X que « l'Iran ne représentait aucune menace imminente » pour les États-Unis. Quelle est la stratégie de l'administration Trump ? Et que se passe-t-il au Liban ?

C dans l'air l'invitée du 16 mars Tara Varma, politologue, chercheuse en relations internationales, directrice du programme de prospective stratégique du German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF).Donald Trump a de nouveau demandé dimanche avec insistance de l'aide pour libérer le détroit d'Ormuz, voie stratégique de transport du pétrole, estimant que l'avenir serait "très mauvais" pour l'Otan en cas de refus d'assistance de ses alliés, et qu'il pourrait reporter sa visite en Chine si Pékin n'obtempère pas. "Il est tout à fait normal que ceux qui tirent profit de ce détroit contribuent à faire en sorte que rien de fâcheux ne se produise là-bas", a déclaré le président américain dans une interview au Financial Times, rappelant que l'Europe et la Chine dépendent fortement du pétrole du Golfe, contrairement aux Etats-Unis. Donald Trump a également déclaré dans la soirée que les Etats-Unis discutaient avec "environ sept pays" pour former une coalition qui permettrait de rouvrir à la navigation le détroit d'Ormuz, sans préciser quels sont ces pays.

Introducing Opus Dei, a new season of Untold from the Financial Times. Host Antonia Cundy uncovers the cultural and political influence of a controversial Catholic organisation in America. Opus Dei exists to help people get closer to God, but some members say they found other agendas – and unexpected harm – entangled in that spiritual mission. The first episode of Untold: Opus Dei launches March 25. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hosted on Acast.

This week kicked off with Turkey announcing the deployment of a number of fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus, a move that not only represents a significant escalation in the militarization of the Eastern Mediterranean, where Cyprus has already been targeted by Iranian-made drones, but that may also violate US law. This isn't the only thing putting Cyprus in the headlines this week. Axios and the Financial Times reported Cyprus could potentially mediate talks between Israel and Lebanon after violence broke out between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group. Turkey's moves in the Eastern Mediterranean aren't the only thing worrying analysts and observers. Developments on the domestic front are also keeping those watching the region on alert, as the trial of Ekrem Imamoglu, the imprisoned mayor of Istanbul, kicked off this week. Imamoglu's trial is largely seen as politically motivated and an effort to prevent him from challenging President Erdogan. Sinan Ciddi, Elisa Ewers, Lisel Hintz, and Henri Barkey join Thanos Davelis this week as we take a closer look at Turkey's decision to deploy fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus, Israel's escalating offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the trial of Ekrem Imamoglu. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're spotlighting Eleni Delimpaltadaki Janis, a founding member of HALC with a career that spans across government and the private sector. This includes serving as Vice President at the New York City Economic Development Corporation, and working to transform and solve some of the world's most persistent socio-economic problems as a founder of Equivico. Stay tuned as we dig into her story. A little more info on our guests: Sinan Ciddi is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and director of its Turkey program. Elisa Ewers is a senior fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Lisel Hintz is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. Henri Barkey is an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bernard L. and Bertha F. Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University (Emeritus). You can support The Greek Current by joining HALC as a member here.

On today's show, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with writer Hooman Majd about the escalating Israel-US war on Iran and how these countries are expanding the war to Lebanon, the Gulf States, and beyond. Majd describes the constant barrage of bombs on Tehran, how Israel is displacing Lebanese people, and that the death toll is growing. This week, Iranian leaders marched in the streets of Tehran projecting unity and defiance as the war reaches two weeks.  Majd says there's no sign that Israel or the US are going to end the war, and there's no sign that Iran is going to surrender or negotiate a ceasefire. Despite Trump's claims that he would pick the next leader of Iran, Iranian leadership appointed Mojtaba Khamenei as the country's new Supreme Leader.  They also discuss the restrictions on foreign journalists in Iran, how the attacks on Iran come on the heels of Trump's assault on Venezuela, how fundamental religious figures are shaping the war, and the creation of a new refugee crisis in Lebanon and this crisis could spread to Iran if the US deploys ground troops. Hooman Majd is an Iranian-American writer, and the author of three books on Iran, including the New York Times bestseller The Ayatollah Begs to Differ. His new book, a memoir, is Minister Without Portfolio: Memoir of a Reluctant Exile. Majd has also written for The New Yorker, GQ, Newsweek, The New York Times, The New Republic, Time, Vanity Fair, The Financial Times, Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, Politico, and Interview Magazine, among others. He is a contributor to NBC News. He has published short fiction in literary journals such as Guernica and The American Scholar. He lives in New York City.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta sexta-feira (13): O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva anunciou um pacote de medidas para conter o impacto da guerra no Irã sobre o preço do diesel e a inflação. Entre as ações estão um decreto que zera as alíquotas de PIS/Cofins sobre o combustível, o que pode reduzir o valor em R$ 0,32 por litro, e uma medida provisória que prevê subvenção no mesmo valor a produtores e importadores. O governo também determinou a tributação da exportação de petróleo para ampliar o refino interno e exigiu que postos de combustíveis informem de forma clara aos consumidores a redução de impostos e preços. Os Estados Unidos emitiram uma licença temporária de 30 dias que permite a países comprarem petróleo russo e derivados que atualmente estão retidos no mar. Segundo o secretário do Tesouro, Scott Bessent, a medida busca ajudar a estabilizar os mercados globais de energia diante da volatilidade causada pela guerra contra o Irã. O anúncio ocorreu poucas horas depois de o preço do petróleo ultrapassar a marca de US$ 100 por barril, atingindo o maior nível em quase quatro anos. O Brasil registrou 140 casos confirmados de Mpox desde o início de 2026, segundo dados atualizados pelo Ministério da Saúde. Até o momento, não houve registro de mortes pela doença no período. Além dos casos confirmados, o país contabiliza 539 casos suspeitos e 9 considerados prováveis, mantendo o monitoramento da situação pelas autoridades de saúde. O novo líder supremo do Irã, Mojtaba Khamenei, afirmou que o país deve continuar utilizando o bloqueio do Estreito de Ormuz como instrumento de pressão geopolítica. A declaração foi divulgada por meio de uma mensagem lida na TV estatal iraniana, poucos dias após ele assumir o posto ocupado por seu pai, Ali Khamenei. No comunicado, o novo líder também aconselhou países vizinhos a fecharem bases militares dos Estados Unidos na região, afirmando que essas instalações continuarão sendo alvo de ataques iranianos. O Estreito de Ormuz é uma das rotas marítimas mais estratégicas do mundo para o transporte de petróleo, o que aumenta a tensão internacional diante das novas ameaças. A chefe da diplomacia da União Europeia, Kaja Kallas, criticou o governo do presidente Donald Trump e afirmou que o líder americano tenta “dividir a Europa” com estratégias semelhantes às usadas por adversários do bloco. Em entrevista ao Financial Times, Kallas citou tarifas comerciais, ameaças econômicas e até discussões sobre a anexação da Groenlândia como exemplos de pressão sobre países europeus. O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro foi levado ao hospital na manhã de sexta-feira (13) após apresentar mal-estar enquanto estava detido no 19º Batalhão da Polícia Militar do Distrito Federal, conhecido como “Papudinha”, em Brasília. Segundo o senador Flávio Bolsonaro, o ex-presidente acordou com calafrios e episódios de vômito. O Corpo de Bombeiros do Distrito Federal foi acionado por volta das 7h40 para prestar atendimento. O Ministério Público do Paraná sofreu uma nova derrota no desdobramento judicial do Caso Evandro após recorrer ao Supremo Tribunal Federal contra uma decisão do Superior Tribunal de Justiça. O ministro Gilmar Mendes manteve a revisão criminal que anulou os processos relacionados ao desaparecimento e morte do menino Evandro Ramos Caetano. Com isso, seguem absolvidos Osvaldo Marcineiro, Davi dos Santos Soares e Beatriz Abagge, que haviam sido condenados pelo crime ocorrido nos anos 1990 e que se tornou um dos casos criminais mais controversos da história recente do Brasil.

Day 1,476.Today, as US envoy Steve Witkoff says “we can take them at their word” after Russia denies sharing intelligence about American forces with Iran – before adding “let's hope they're not sharing” – we examine the latest tensions between Washington, Moscow and Tehran. We also analyse a Ukrainian deep-strike operation that raised fresh questions about Russian air defences after a loitering drone was able to film the attack. Then we bring updates on Ukrainian counterattacks in the south, where two operations now appear to have pushed around 10 kilometres into Russian lines, and hear a final dispatch from Adélie in Ukraine.

Bull markets don't last forever. When you're in the throes of one, it can feel like they do. But they don't, and at a certain point you have to sell.Gold bull markets can feel even more eternal. Not just because the metal itself is eternal, but because the story comes along that we are going back to a gold standard, or that the Great Purge, which many economists of the Austrian school say is inevitable after fifty years of fiat decadence, is finally upon us.I get that argument. But it is too neat, too deterministic. Real life is much more mucky.So today I want to consider a very important question, and I want to try and answer it honestly:Where are we in this bull market?Has gold already peaked? It's possible. The spike to $5,600/oz at the end of January had many of the hallmarks of a blow-off top.Or perhaps $5,600 was just a mid-cycle peak, such as we saw in 2006 or 1975-76 during previous bull markets.Or is this bull market still in its infancy?I'm going to study this bull market through every lens I can think of: price, time, valuation, participation, market structure, macro context and sentiment.My bias going in is that we are mid-cycle, as I argued in my Great Forecast last week. Let's see where I end up. 1. DurationThere have been two great gold bull markets since the end of the gold standard: 1971-1980 and 2001-2011. Both lasted nine to ten years.When did this one begin?It depends how you define it.You could take the bear-market low of $1,045 in late 2015. You could take the $1,160 retest in 2018. You could take 2019, when gold broke out of its multi-year base.Technical analysis is often in the eye of the beholder. Just like bull markets.You could even argue late 2022, when the current acceleration began.If you start in 2015, this bull market has already lasted ten years. That would put it right in line with the duration of previous cycles, and you could argue it is close to exhaustion.If you start in 2018 or 2019, there may be several years left to run.I favour 2018. Just as gold hit $250 in 1999, rallied, and then returned to roughly the same level in 2001 before the real bull market began, the 2018 low feels like the equivalent retest. Of course this is debatable.And there is always the possibility that this bull market lasts longer than previous ones.Verdict: mid- to late-cycle.2. Relative valuation vs other assetsOilWith gold at $5,200 and WTI crude around $87, it takes roughly 60 barrels of oil to buy one ounce of gold.Historically this ratio ranges between 6 and 30.The only time oil has been this cheap relative to gold was in the 2020 pandemic collapse, when oil went negative.My view: it's not so much that gold is expensive as that oil is cheap. Plus commodities inevitably get cheaper as we get better at producing them. (As long as you don't measure the price in fiat).Gold vs the S&P 500With the S&P around 6,765, it takes about 1.3 ounces of gold to buy one unit of the index.This ratio has been as high as 5 - at the peak of Dotcom in 2000, and the nadir of gold - and as low as 0.2 (during the depths of the 1930s and at the 1980 gold peak).Gold is therefore on the expensive side relative to equities, but not at historic extremes.This ratio could fall further if equities fall or gold rises.Gold vs US housingThe US housing market varies enormously by region - Beverely Hills is not Detroit, Miami Beach is not McDowell County - so national averages should be treated cautiously. But they still give a rough guide.We are now below the 2011 level and approaching 1980 territory in terms of how many ounces of gold buy a typical home.Pretty extreme.Overall verdict: late-cycle. Warning signal3. Institutional ownershipGold is still under-owned in institutional portfolios.Even after the recent rally, gold represents only a tiny fraction of global portfolio allocation compared with equities and bonds.Gold mining equities are even more neglected.Verdict: mid-cycle4. Central banksCentral bank buying slowed to 863 tonnes in 2025, down from record levels in 2024, but still well above the 2010-2021 average.However, the World Gold Council reported that central banks purchased only 5 tonnes in January, below the monthly average of 27 tonnes. I would not read too much into that. Much buying is reported with delays, and China in particular reveals little about its activity. The usual assumption is that central bank buying is an early or mid-cycle phenomenon. I am not entirely convinced. If the real driver of this bull market is de-dollarisation and reserve diversification amidst a wider geopolitical shift, then official buying could persist for years.Gold currently represents just under 30% of central bank reserves. The US dollar still accounts for roughly 56%.I don't think this bull market ends until gold sits north of 50% having overtaken the dollar itself.Question: is the war in Iran going to arrest of accelerate de-dollarisation? You know the answer. Verdict: mid-cycle5. Retail participationRetail demand is growing. 2025 saw record bar and coin demand. ETF inflows are rising, but they are not exploding. Mining companies are finally attracting interest again.Silver went briefly manic last month, which is not a healthy sign, but the episode is already unwinding.Verdict: mid-cycleBy the way, due to its senior currency status, the US dollar is going to preserve its purchasing power better than the pound, which is a car crash waiting to happen. I keep getting asked, “is it too late to buy gold?”. If you are in the UK, . We are turning into South Africa and the currency will go the same way. The 40% loss of purchasing power that the pound has seen since 2020 is not going to reverse. If anything it accelerates. Thus …If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.6. LeverageLeverage is difficult to measure precisely.You can look at: futures positioning on Comex, options activity, speculative flows into junior miners, retail spread betting and more. The short answer is this: gold is a crowded trade, but it is not a mania.If it were a mania, the geopolitical shock in Iran last week would have triggered violent liquidations. Instead gold held up remarkably well.Verdict: mid-cycle7. Mining equitiesMining stocks had an excellent 2025. Word is that PDAC last week (the world's largest mining conference), was the like of which had not been felt since 2011 and the last top. That is a warning sign.This chart shows the ratio of the XAU (large mining companies) to gold since 1988. On a relative basis the miners are still phenomenally under-owned, and we now have a text-book base, formed over 9-years, in place. If this ratio goes back to levels of the early 0 0s , miners will multiply many times over.But these declines began with the emergence of the ETFs and the many alternative ways to own gold without taking on individual company risk. The ratio does not have to go back 00s levels.Maybe. But that base is a thing of beauty.Typically the end of a gold bull market would coincide with massive rallies in junior miners, an exploration IPO boom and a merger-and-acquisition frenzy.We are seeing healthy signs of activity, but nothing like that yet.Verdict: mid-cycleI'm delighted to report that The Secret History of Gold - Myth, Money, Politics and Power, published by Penguin Life, comes out in the US next month. (The US version is published by Pegasus). Order yours now - via Barnes and Noble or Amazon8. The narrative - gold to $150,000?Gold got some coverage in publications like The Economist and the Financial Times last month, but the story is far from mainstream.Ask most people about de-dollarisation, Triffin's dilemma or central bank reserve diversification and you will get blank looks.However, some familiar late-cycle narratives are beginning to appear.One is that silver is being remonetised.It isn't.Silver may well be an important strategic metal, but its monetary role was as medium of exchange. That role is not coming back because we no longer use physical money. That function has been digitised.Gold, by contrast, retains its role as as store of value - a function that silver never had to anything like the same extent. Silver may have use as a speculative asset. It may well rise in price. It may even overshoot spectacularly. But it is not being remonetised. That will not happen, unless Eastenders turns into Mad Max.Another narrative that sometimes appears near major peaks is the US national debt relative to gold reserves. In 1980, headlines declared the US was “solvent again” because it could have used its gold to fully settled its debt.Today US debt is roughly $39 trillion. To settle that debt using America's 262 million ounces of gold, the gold price would need to be roughly $150,000 per ounce.When arguments like that start circulating, it means the narrative can't go much further and the cycle is close to exhaustion.We are not there yet.Verdict: mid-cycle9. Real yieldsLast but not least: real interest rates.This would be the 10-year Treasury yield minus inflation, or the 10-year TIPS yield.Gold bull markets tend to end when real yields rise sharply.In 1980, Paul Volcker pushed interest rates toward 20% and real yields surged. Gold then entered a twenty-year bear market. At the 2011 peak, real yields rose from deeply negative to positive and gold topped within months. From 2020–2022 real yields went negative again and gold surged, until they rose in 2022 and gold stalled.Today nominal yields are relatively high, but inflation remains elevated, the Fed is under pressure to ease (as are most central banks) and fiscal deficits are enormous.Real yields therefore sit around zero or slightly positive, depending on how they are measured. That is not restrictive enough to kill the gold bull market.The danger signal would be inflation falling sharply while nominal yields stay high, pushing real yields well above +2%. We are some distance from that.Verdict: mid-cycleIf you are interested in following the real yield argument, Charlie Morris is the man. He gets it better than anyone, and I heartily recommend you follow his work via his Atlas Pulse. Get your copy here - it's free.ConclusionIf gold continues rising it will pull silver and mining equities higher with it.The spike in silver last month to around $125 looked very much like a mid-cycle blow-off, and a period of consolidation is now both likely and healthy. Looking across all the indicators, most point toward a mid-cycle environment rather than a late-cycle one.What superb content. You really should upgrade.Duration and relative valuation raise some concerns, but these are just one or two of nine indicators. Everything else suggests the bull market has not yet reached its final, most speculative phase.In other words: this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.$8 to $10,000 by the end of the decade is a very real possibility.Thanks very much for being a subscriber to Flying Frisby.Until next time,DominicPS I have discussed gold largely in dollar terms, because the market is quoted in dollars. But if you are in the UK the case for owning gold has less to do with the dollar and far more to do with the pound. Sterling has already lost roughly 40% of its purchasing power since 2020, and that trend is not going to reverse. If anything it will accelerate. It's not just the ineptitude of successive governments, but unelected permablob (in this case the Treasury, the OBR, the Bank of England, the FCA et al) that actually runs the show. The system- if you can call it that - is the problem and it's not going to change. The incentives are to spend more, borrow more and debase the currency slowly over time. You cannot fix that system. But you can protect yourself from it. And that means owning some gold.DisclaimerI am not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or any other regulatory body as a financial advisor.

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, making confident business decisions is hard. So we grasp for certainty. Numbers feel certain, but they often give us the false comfort of measuring the wrong things. In her book Embracing Uncertainty, Margaret Heffernan explores a different approach. Looking at artists, writers, and musicians, she asks what we can learn from people who produce extraordinary work in conditions where the future simply can't be known. In this episode, Dart and Margaret discuss the hidden costs of certainty, why systems built around prediction can undermine human agency, and how artistic ways of working offer a different relationship to risk, failure, and learning.Margaret Heffernan is an author, playwright, and former CEO who has run multiple businesses in the U.S. and U.K. Her TED Talks have been viewed more than fifteen million times.In this episode, Dart and Margaret discuss:- The pressure to be certain- Why uncertainty is treated as a problem- How prediction slides into control- Why systems reduce human agency- Why total certainty would strip away human choice- How technology trains us to comply rather than think- What artists do when the future can't be known- How power disrupts independent thinking- The courage required to let go as a leader- And other topics…As Chief Executive of InfoMation Corporation, ZineZone Corporation, and then iCast Corporation, Margaret Heffernan was named one of the “Top 25” by Streaming Media magazine and one of the “Top 100 Media Executives” by The Hollywood Reporter. Her books include A Bigger Prize, Beyond Measure, Uncharted, and Willful Blindness, which was named one of the most important business books of the decade by the Financial Times.Her TED Talks have been viewed more than fifteen million times. She is Professor of Practice at the University of Bath and, through Merryck & Co., mentors CEOs and senior executives of major global organizations.

This morning, Iran named Mojtaba Khamanei, the man President Trump said would be unacceptable in the post, as its new leader. The immediate market reaction was a spike in the price of Brent crude oil to nearly USD120 per barrel, and a pronounced selloff in Asian stock markets. These moves have since reversed somewhat after the Financial Times wrote that G7 leaders will have talks with the International Energy Agency today regarding a possible release of energy reserves. Richard Tang, Head of Research Hong Kong explains why positioning is driving Asian equity markets more than fundamentals right now, and looks beyond the fog of war to identify attractive Asian equity sectors. And Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis focuses on what the charts reveal when it comes to the price of oil and the trajectory of US equity markets.(00:00) - Introduction: Jan Bopp, Product & Investment Content (01:18) - Markets wrap-up: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content (06:17) - Asia update: Richard Tang, Head of Research Hong Kong (11:27) - Technical Analysis update: Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis (15:13) - Closing remarks: Jan Bopp, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

In this ClimateGenn Episode I speak with former Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government and Chair of the Climate Crisis Advisory Group, Sir David King. The interview was initiated in response to David being quoted in the Financial Times. The article reported on how people in the East of England being forced to evacuate their homes due to erosion from inundation of sea water. A problem that is forecast to see thousands of homes abandoned in the coming years.We cover a lot of topics in this conversation but they all illustrate the gargantuan size of problem we face and how badly we humans are responding to challenges. For all the talk of Artificial Intelligence, the glaring truth is: if we focussed our collective real intelligence on solving these problems, the horrors accelerating around us might be greatly reduced and even manageable. If only.In the next episode I am speaking with former UK Green Party Leader, Baroness Natalie Bennet about the mainstream media narrative emerging claiming that the UK Green Party have replaced environmental policy in order to appeal to the so-called far-left. Is this a radical shift for political opportunism, or, is there consistency with the Green manifesto of the past and how does it all hang together?There are more episodes scheduled with leading world experts on critical issues from collapsing ice sheets in Antarctica, to how climate is changing all around us, in realtime— I want to say a big thank you to everyone who commented on the last interview with Dr Jennifer Francis, sharing thoughts and examples of how extreme impacts are impacting your regions and communities. 

Much has changed since the EconoFact Chats panel of journalists last met in late 2025; the bombing of Iran and its effects on oil prices and shipping through the vital Strait of Hormuz, the Supreme Court's decision on the illegality of tariffs enacted by IEEPA and the possibility that the government may have to repay tariff revenues, and the nomination of a new Chair for the Federal Reserve, and the arguments made before the Supreme Court on the attempted firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. This week, EconoFact Chats welcomes back Binyamin Appelbaum of The New York Times, Larry Edelman of The Boston Globe, Scott Horsley of NPR, and Claire Jones of The Financial Times for a wide-ranging discussion on these, and other, pressing issues.

On today's show, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with writer and journalist Casey Michel about Greenland, kleptocracy, the Epstein files, and more. Michel says that “the preponderance of corruption is nothing like we've ever seen before” in the US. Though money has always shaped American politics, the scope and scale of what's happening under the Trump regime is unprecedented.  Michel has written multiple books about corruption in American politics, including American Kleptocracy, Foreign Agents, and the forthcoming United States of Oligarchy. His reporting on Trump's attempts to take over Greenland reveals a web of financial interests at play. Trump is being guided by the interests of wealthy donors and corporations who want to mine the “whole periodic table of elements” that are being blocked by environmental and labor regulations imposed by Greenland, Denmark, and the EU. He says that the financiers pulling the strings want to build a super power where there is no democracy, taxes, or any restrictions on their actions, and authoritarians like Trump are happy to help them. Note: This pledge drive interview was edited to remove parts of the show dedicated to station fundraising. We thank our listeners for their generous support. Casey Michel is an American writer and journalist who covers international corruption, dark money, and foreign influence for a range of outlets, including The New York Times, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, and more. He has written multiple books on these topics, including “American Kleptocracy” and “Foreign Agents,” and his new book “United States of Oligarchy” will be released in August. He is currently sanctioned by the Russian regime for his work. Featured image of the cover of Casey Michel's book, American Kleptocracy. Did you enjoy this story?

After that, we turn to our big read of the week.

In this episode of Technovation, Peter High speaks with Stephen Witt, award-winning journalist and author of The Thinking Machine, which has been named Business Book of the Year by Financial Times. Witt writes about Jensen Huang's improbable journey from near-bankruptcy in the 1990s GPU wars to leading NVIDIA at the center of the AI revolution. Witt unpacks how NVIDIA defeated nearly 70 competitors, why Huang began targeting “zero-billion-dollar markets,” and how CUDA became the backbone of modern AI. Key highlights from the episode: How investing in zero-billion-dollar markets created durable platform advantage The emerging bull and bear cases for NVIDIA in robotics, edge computing, and global competition The strategic lessons NVIDIA extracted from surviving a 70-competitor GPU market Why operating with a constant “near-death” mindset shaped long-term execution discipline

Um den Tod des langjährigen iranischen Machthabers Ali Chamenei ranken sich zahlreiche Mythen. Ein Bericht der „Financial Times“ zeichnet nun nach, wie israelische Geheimdienste den Schlag offenbar über Jahre hinweg vorbereitet haben – mit gehackten Kameras, Big-Data-Analysen und internationaler Geheimdienstkooperation.

Dag 6 van de oorlog in Iran. Volgens het Witte Huis gaat het prima, maar het is ook de dag dat er (nog steeds) zorgen zijn om de hoge olieprijs. Beleggers wereldwijd vrezen toch dat het de inflatie gaat aanwakkeren. Met alle gevolgen van dien.Deze aflevering kijken we of deze oorlog een 'forever war' wordt en wat dat voor jouw beleggingen betekent. Ook of je je nu al moet wagen aan de 'buy the dip' van analisten van Citi.Ook gaat het deze aflevering over een van Hollands meest bekende techbedrijven. TomTom! Dat ziet oprichter én ceo Harold Goddijn vertrekken. Hij vindt het tijd voor nieuw leiderschap. Tijd om voor ons de balans op te maken: wat heeft hij in die 25 (!) jaar als ceo voor het bedrijf betekend? En kan TomTom nog een keer 25 jaar mee?Hoor je ook over de fabelachtige cijfers van Broadcom (dat de verkoop van AI-chips denkt te vervijfvoudigen), over het record van Boskalis en over de teleurstellende cijfers van China.Ook in deze aflevering: analistenpraatjes. Zogeheten pre-close calls tussen analist en bedrijf beïnvloeden de beurskoers, zegt de AFM. Maar het grijpt niet in. Tot woede van de VEB.

Er is weer een aflevering van Europa Draait Door en wat een week om te bespreken. Voor het eerst lijkt de zwartgalligheid van Arend Jan niet overdreven. De oorlog in Iran escaleert met de dag, en Europa? Dat staat aan de zijlijn. Premier Jetten noemt internationaal recht 'lastig in dit soort situaties', Merz zegt dat het beoordelen ernaar 'weinig effect zal hebben'. Alleen de Spaanse premier Sánchez spreekt zich hardop uit, en krijgt prompt een dreigement van Trump. Europa-correspondent Kysia Hekster ontleedt de Europese verlamming: waarom is het continent dat normaal hamert op internationaal recht nu muisstil? Midden-Oostenexpert Abdou Bouzerda waarschuwt: als wij niet oppassen zitten we straks niet op de achterbank, maar onder het wiel. Daarnaast aandacht voor de influencers die halsoverkop Dubai proberen te verlaten.

What does it take to lead one of the world's most powerful banks when the global financial system is on the brink of collapse? As CEO for Goldman Sachs from 2006 to 2018, Lloyd Blankfein was at the helm as the global financial system teetered on collapse. He successfully steered the company through the most devastating financial crisis of our age, and stabilised its ascent for the following decade. His story is one of decisive global leadership at the top of one of the most competitive and successful corporations in the world.  In this episode he speaks to Lionel Barber about his journey from the public housing projects of Brooklyn to the highest level of global finance. Drawing on his new memoir, Streetwise: Getting to and Through Goldman Sachs, Blankfein revisits the decisions that defined an era, and what his long tenure taught him about leadership, human nature, financial capitalism.  Lionel Barber is a journalist and the former Editor of the Financial Times, and author of The Gambling Man. This episode is created in partnership with Guinness Global Investors, an independent British fund manager that helps both individuals and institutions harness the future drivers of growth to achieve their investment goals.

As younger generations encounter tough job and housing markets and many Americans feel left behind, it's become more popular to question the utility of the capitalistic system. Can this tide really lift all boats? In this talk from the 2025 Aspen Ideas Festival, three experts in business, economics and anthropology meet to dissect how we got to this point, and what can be done to forge a new path for capitalism.

Raya Jalabi, Middle East Correspondent with the Financial Times in Beirut, gave us an update on the latest on the Iran war.

What does courage really look like in leadership?Often, we associate courage with bold gestures, fearless leaders, or decisive moments where doubt disappears.My guest in this conversation is Professor Ranjay Gulati of Harvard Business School, who challenges that assumption through his research into what he calls the surprising science of everyday courage, and shows why fear is not a flaw in leadership but a starting point.We explore why courage is a decision rather than a personality trait, how leaders can resource themselves when uncertainty rises, and the difference between thoughtful courage and reckless action. Ranjay shares stories from his research and personal experience that reveal how narrative, support squads, rituals and process help individuals and organisations act boldly with purpose.If you're facing decisions that feel uncomfortable this episode will help you build courage deliberately and use it as a practical leadership skill.“Fear is a reaction; courage is a decision” – Ranjay GulatiYou'll hear aboutWhy courage is a decision, not a traitHow fear shows up in leadership decisionsCourage versus recklessnessIndividual courage versus collective courageThe power of personal narrativeHow leaders resource themselvesSupport squads and courageous leadershipWhy courage is a team sportRituals that help manage fearBuilding courage as a muscleCommon leadership blind spots around courage About Ranjay Gulati:Ranjay Gulati is a Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School.  His pioneering work focuses on unlocking organizational and individual potential—embracing courage, nurturing purpose-driven leaders, driving growth, and transforming businesses.

In (yet another) emergency episode, Darren offers eight initial thoughts on the US and Israeli strikes on Iran and the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei. Inside Iran, the question is whether airpower and decapitation can deliver regime change when the historical record says they never have — though this case may be an outlier given how weakened the regime already was. Regionally, Iran's “drizzle” retaliation strategy is targeting Gulf states and depleting expensive US interceptors, while the munitions being consumed come directly at the expense of what the US would need in a Taiwan contingency. Globally, no country or institution has any agency to shape what happens next — and China may be the quiet winner simply by being predictable while Washington lurches between crises. On international order, Darren explores how US deterrence is simultaneously stronger on willingness but weaker on material capacity, and why the Venezuela-Greenland-Iran sequence is normalising a new and dangerous operating model for the hegemon. On Australia, he thinks the government made the right call. He finishes by asking what we're learning about Trump's emerging “anti-Powell Doctrine”, what the erosion of rules means for world politics, and what constraints — if any — exist on this new kind of American power. Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Hannah Nelson and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

How will customers decide which decisions to hand over to AI? As AI agents move to the front of the customer journey, brands are no longer competing for attention. They're competing for selection. And in many cases, they don't even realize they're being bypassed. This conversation goes beyond tools and technology to examine the psychology of decision-making, trust, empathy, and what happens when AI becomes the primary decision-maker on behalf of customers.

David Satter is a journalist and historian with unique insights into how the deformation and repression of the past, is having terrible consequences for present day Russia. David has written extensively about Russia and the Soviet Union, especially the decline and fall of the USSR and rise of post-Soviet Russia. David Satter became the first American journalist to be expelled from Russia since the Cold War in December 2013. This was perhaps not a surprising move, given that his books have covered topics such as the FSB's role in the apartment bombings that brought Putin to power. From 1976 to 1982 David was the Moscow correspondent of the Financial Times, and then became a special correspondent on Soviet affairs for The Wall Street Journal. He is currently a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a fellow of the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. ----------BOOKS:He is author of several books that are essential reading to help understand the origins of the current crisis, including the brilliantly named books: - It Was a Long Time Ago, and It Never Happened Anyway- Darkness at Dawn: The Rise of the Russian Criminal State- The Less You Know, The Better You Sleep----------LINKS:https://davidsatter.com/https://twitter.com/davidsatter?lang=enhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Satterhttps://www.hudson.org/experts/362-david-satterhttps://www.fpri.org/contributor/david-satter/https://www.foreignaffairs.com/authors/david-satter----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

It's four years this week since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. And by this summer the conflict will have gone on for longer than the First World War. Casualties run into the hundreds of thousands. Peace talks brokered by the US have been off and on for the past few months, with President Putin demanding that Ukraine gives Russia full control of the eastern Donbas region, including the part it does not occupy. President Zelensky refuses. Meanwhile, Ukraine has experiened one of its harshest winters as its cities and energy infrastructure have been pounded by Russian drones and missiles. Still both sides fight on in a war which has become dominated by advanced drone technology. David Aaronovitch asks his guests whether anyone is winning and when and how this war might end. Guests:Mark Galeotti, head of Mayak Intelligence and author of "Forged in War: a military history of Russia from its beginnings to today." Dr Jack Watling, Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare at the Royal United Services Institute and author of "The Arms of the Future: Technology and Close Combat in the Twenty First Century." Rebecca Lissner, Senior fellow for U.S. foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations and lecturer at the Jackson School of Global Affairs, Yale University.

‘We must build our hard power because that is the currency of the age,' Keir Starmer declared to the Munich Security Conference earlier this month. It's a sentiment shared across Europe, where leaders have cited Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the rise of Chinese power and US instability to justify substantially increased defence spending. But the rearmament consensus has so far not been accompanied by much detail on where the money needs to go or what accountability there will be for the use of this ‘hard power'. To discuss the origins and implications of Europe's militarisation, James is joined by Sam Jones, European security correspondent at the Financial Times, and Anna Stavrianakis, professor of international relations at the University of Sussex.  Read more on politics in the LRB: ⁠https://lrb.me/lrbpolitics⁠ From the LRB Subscribe to the LRB: ⁠⁠https://lrb.me/subslrbpod Close Readings podcast: ⁠https://lrb.me/crlrbpod⁠ LRB Audiobooks: ⁠https://lrb.me/audiobookslrbpod⁠ Bags, binders and more at the LRB Store: ⁠https://lrb.me/storelrbpod⁠ Get in touch: podcasts@lrb.co.uk

The White House may roll back steel and aluminum tariffs, according to the Financial Times. Sure, President Donald Trump has announced or enacted tariffs just to reverse course many times. But the difference is steel and aluminum are crucial materials in the production of, well, just about everything. In this episode: How might such a rollback affect your wallet? Plus, market conditions make for a stronger manufacturing sector in 2026, restaurants expand menu offerings that cater to GLP-1 users, and we explain how the Fed actually changes interest rates.
