Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:


(1) Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment, a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s attacks on the Fed.


(2) As protesters pour into the streets of Iran night after night, leaders across the region and around the world are grappling with the possibility that the Islamic Republic could be overthrown — a seminal event that would transform global geopolitics and energy markets.


(3) A group of European countries, led by the UK and Germany, is discussing plans for a military presence in Greenland to show US President Donald Trump that the continent is serious about Arctic security and to try to tamp down American threats to take over the self-ruling Danish territory.

 
(4) Indonesia and Malaysia restricted access to Elon Musk’s Grok AI over the weekend, becoming the first countries to ban the artificial intelligence system over its generation of sexual content.

 
(5) UK employers cut back their hiring again in December, according to a closely watched survey that is likely to add to the Bank of England’s concerns about a weakening jobs market.


(6) An effort by Europe to stand up to China and retain local technology is approaching a breaking point. A court hearing in the Netherlands on Wednesday will be crucial for chipmaker Nexperia, which was wrested away from its Chinese owners Wingtech by a decision in October.

Fed Served With Subpoenas, Iran Closer To Revolution, Europe-China Chip Feud

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:

(1) An upcoming Supreme Court ruling on the legality of the sweeping tariffs that President Donald Trump rolled out in April, briefly sending shockwaves through markets, looms as one of the next big tests for US stocks and bonds.

(2) US President Donald Trump could find out as soon as Jan. 9 whether the Supreme Court will strike down a key portion of his tariffs campaign. The court is considering whether Trump can use an emergency law that had previously never been wielded to impose import taxes, and its decision could be included in an upcoming opinions release on unspecified cases.

(3) Rio Tinto Group is in talks to buy Glencore Plc to create the world’s biggest mining company with a combined market value of more than $200 billion, a little over a year after earlier talks between the two collapsed.

(4) China’s consumer-price growth accelerated last month thanks largely to higher food costs, as deflationary risks stalk the world’s second-biggest economy in the absence of more forceful stimulus measures.

(5) Trump administration officials have discussed sending payments ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 to Greenland residents, Reuters reports, citing four sources familiar with the matter.
