On today's podcast:
1) The US struck Iranian military targets for the second time this week and Kuwait said it responded to missile and drone threats, highlighting the fragility of the ceasefire. US forces shot down Iranian drones fired at a commercial ship and hit a launch unit near the Strait of Hormuz, according to a US official, who said the attacks were defensive and the ceasefire remains intact. President Trump asserted that no one nation would control Hormuz, which has emerged as one of the key obstacles in resolving the conflict, and said the strait's going to be open to everybody.
2) Federal Reserve Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said he expects inflation to cool later this year as the effects of tariffs and higher energy costs wear off, though he warned inflationary risks remain tilted to the upside. In the text of a speech he’s scheduled to deliver Thursday morning in Tokyo at a conference hosted by the Bank of Japan, Jefferson said he is watching for signs that higher energy costs stemming from the Iran war are dragging on consumer spending. He also cautioned that he continues to see signs of labor market weakness. Jefferson repeated his view that the central bank’s current policy setting is well positioned to respond to any developments.
3) Salesforce gave a revenue outlook for the current period that just fell short of analysts' estimates, with revenue expected to be about $11.3 billion in the fiscal second quarter. The company reported fiscal first-quarter remaining performance obligations of $67.9 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $68.9 billion, and its stock has declined about 33% this year.

US Bombs More Iran Targets, Growing Fed Inflation Fears

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won the state's Republican Senate runoff, defeating incumbent John Cornyn with approximately 63% of the vote. Paxton will face Democrat James Talarico in the November election, and Talarico has released a video focusing on Paxton's 2023 impeachment by the Texas House of Representatives. Republican leaders in Washington will have to decide how much to spend to back Paxton, who has significant baggage, including a history of scandal, to ensure the Texas seat stays in GOP hands.
2) There is some optimism that the US and Iran will reach a peace deal despite fresh hostilities and uncertainty over the vital Strait of Hormuz. The strait remains essentially shut, subject to blockades by the US and Iran, but at least two non-Iranian supertankers exited the chokepoint on Tuesday. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cautioned that any peace pact would likely take a few days to finalize. Meanwhile, US forces hit targets near the strait, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it fired at multiple US aircraft after they entered Iranian airspace.
3) Strategists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. joined peers at Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank AG in seeing a 17% return for the S&P 500 Index this year. Earnings growth powered by the AI boom will drive further gains in stocks, the Goldman team led by Ben Snider said as they increased their year-end target for the US benchmark to 8,000 points, ditching a previous forecast of 7,600.

2) Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called US State Secretary Marco Rubio to advise him to evacuate US citizens and diplomats from Kyiv, as the Kremlin plans to continue heavy strikes on the Ukrainian capital, according to a statement published by the Russian Foreign Ministry Monday.
3) Ferrari NV shares fell almost 8% in Milan after the Italian super-car maker unveiled the Luce, its first fully electric vehicle, marking a sharp setback for one of the industry’s most closely watched EV debuts.The drop shows the challenge Ferrari is facing as it tries to extend one of the world’s most profitable luxury-car brands into battery-powered models. Early negative reactions across analysts as well as social media zoomed in on the four-door, five seater’s design, judged too similar to other electric models such as by Tesla Inc.
