Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) President Trump said the US would “not be attacking Iran” before November’s midterm elections, citing “productive discussions” with the Islamic Republic. Trump's comments came despite Iran escalating attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and Tehran-backed militants in Yemen attacking energy facilities in Saudi Arabia. The president said a US naval blockade of Iranian exports would remain in place, and he has suggested Iran was waiting to see how his Republican Party would do during the midterms.
2) Hurricane Isaias is bearing down on the US Gulf coast. Offshore US oil production is plummeting as Hurricane Isaias pushes toward a coastline dotted with refineries and chemical plants. More than 3 million people reside in the projected path of Isaias, which reached Category 2 strength on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale Thursday. Roughly 63% of US Gulf of Mexico crude output has been shut in, while 500,000 barrels a day of refining capacity is threatened.
3) OpenAI is expecting to reach or exceed $70 billion in annualized revenue by the end of the year, driven largely by growth in its enterprise business. The company's annualized revenue was roughly $50 billion at the end of September, which represents a projection of OpenAI's yearly sales based on a shorter period. OpenAI is in talks to raise $30 billion or more at a $1.4 trillion valuation before the new money as part of its latest fundraising effort.

Trump Promises No Iran Attack Before Midterms; Hurricane Isaias Approaches US

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) Oil climbed after a report that the White House asked the Pentagon to draw up strike options against Iran that could be executed before the midterm elections. Freight rates are surging, with shipping oil from the Middle East to China costing $1.4 million a day, the most on record. Producers in the Gulf of Mexico shut in more than 510,000 barrels a day of crude output in response to Hurricane Isaias forming in the US Gulf.
2) President Trump defended his immigration policies during a visit to Texas as he sought to boost struggling GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton ahead of November’s midterm elections. Trump’s defense of his immigration policies comes as Republicans are seeking to shore up their standing with Hispanic voters, whose support for the president has slid in recent polls due to concerns over the economy and affordability issues. Paxton is in a close race with Democratic candidate James Talarico, with recent polls showing Talarico with a narrow advantage, leaving Democrats cautiously hopeful in what has been a reliably red state.
3) Hurricane Isaias has formed in the US Gulf, with top sustained winds of 75 miles per hour, and is tracking toward the coast. Offshore producers have shut in roughly 25% of crude output and 16% of natural gas production, and workers at eight platforms and two rigs have been evacuated. Forecasters are increasingly confident that the hurricane will land east of major energy assets off the coast of Louisiana and Texas around late Friday or early Saturday.

Trump Weighs Iran Strikes Before Midterms; Hurricane Isaias Forms in the Gulf

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) Iran has increased the pace of attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz in recent days, with UK Maritime Trade Operations reporting nine attacks this month. The impact of the latest escalation on Hormuz shipments and seaborne gas flows is uncertain, according to maritime security officials and shipping executives. The flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz has steadily picked up since the start of summer, with some Wall Street banks saying shipments are approaching prewar levels.
2) Elon Musk’s SpaceX is in talks with banks and investors to raise $40 billion to buy chips from Nvidia. SpaceX’s fundraising discussions are in an early stage and could end without a deal being completed, with Pacific Investment Management Co. and Apollo Global Management involved. The fundraising is for SpaceX's AI buildout, with the company seeking to raise about $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt to pay for the chips.
3) Less than four weeks until the midterm election, Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins had her first debate last night with Democratic former state senate president Troy Jackson. Both Collins and Jackson got 47% support on that question in a New York Times Siena College poll. The same survey gave Collins a three point edge over Jackson among likely voters. The election is seen as crucial to either party's hopes of attaining a Senate majority, with Democrats needing a net gain of four seats and Collins having repeatedly defied expectations and outperformed polls in her nearly 30 years in the Senate.
