On today's podcast: 
1) A search is underway for the killer of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was fatally shot at a Utah university. Kirk was speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University when a single shot was fired from a nearby building, according to local police, with Governor Spencer Cox describing it as a “political assassination.” The shooting drew an outpouring of shock and condemnation from Republicans and Democrats alike, with former Democratic presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama denouncing the violence and offering sympathies to Kirk's family.
2) Global stocks posted small gains as traders held back on major bets before Thursday’s highly anticipated US inflation data. Expectations that the Fed will resume monetary easing this month have soared in recent weeks, as data increasingly point to a US labor market under strain. A softer-than-expected print could fuel bets on an initial outsized cut, while a stronger reading would bolster the case for more gradual moves.
3) Mexico plans to impose tariffs of as much as 50% on cars and other products made by China and several Asian exporters. The tariffs would affect countries including China, South Korea, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Russia and Turkey, but would not apply to countries such as the US, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore.
