Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) Traders are looking for clarity on Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's economic outlook and strategy for bringing inflation back to target ahead of his address at Jackson Hole. Warsh’s address is shaping up as a crucial moment for markets as doubts about his commitment to taming inflation have helped push up long-term yields. The speech will be more significant for the foreign-exchange, gold and bond markets than for equities, according to Ulrich Urbahn, head of multi-asset strategy and research at Berenberg.
2) Iran's top diplomat said resuming diplomacy with the US "isn't impossible" after "creative discussions" with Qatar. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said progress "hinges on U.S. understanding of one simple fact: pressure doesn’t work" and called on Washington to build trust and uphold its commitments. The US remains hawkish in its public comments, with President Trump signaling he will not lift a blockade of Iranian ports just to restart talks.
3) Nepal will need at least “a few billion dollars” to recover from the devastation caused by flash floods, according to Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle. At least 469 people have been confirmed dead and more than 1,500 people are missing across Nepal and China after flash floods wiped out bridges, roads and entire settlements. Multilateral institutions including World Bank and Asian Development Bank have committed funds for humanitarian needs, while neighboring countries including India and China have provided supplies and financial assistance.

Warsh At Jackson Hole; Iran Says Diplomacy Not Impossible

On today's podcast:
1) Nvidia gave a bullish sales outlook for fiscal 2028, with Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress saying the company expects to grow revenue by approximately 70% in fiscal 2028. The company's second-quarter earnings report showed revenue of $96.2 billion, with profit of $2.22 a share, excluding certain items, and its data center division had revenue of $89 billion. Nvidia warned that margins would narrow in the coming months due to a surge in memory costs, but expects the measure to settle down to 72% to 73% in fiscal 2028 as the company increases its own prices.
2) Central bankers gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming will emphasize a global rethink on inflation and the prospect of higher borrowing costs in the face of new threats. Faced with upward price pressures from the Iran war, the artificial intelligence investment boom and extreme weather, some central banks have already raised rates, with more expected to follow suit. Investors are increasingly jumpy over how the latest inflationary forces will combine with rising debt levels, and will be keen to hear from Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh, who has so far avoided a firm stance on tackling prices.
3) Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook denied unproven mortgage fraud allegations repeated by President Trump. Cook's attorney Abbe Lowell called the allegations "unfounded and untrue" in a letter sent to the White House, stating that Cook has never committed mortgage fraud or any intentional wrongdoing. The White House did not have an immediate comment on Cook's letter, which comes after Trump narrowly lost his initial bid at the Supreme Court to oust Cook.

Nvidia's Blowout Quarter; Investors Gauge Jackson Hole

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:

1) The Chinese government and Xi Jinping are sending a message of defiance to President Trump over China's economic ties with Iran. China will take "all necessary measures" to safeguard its interests, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian, after the US sanctioned dozens of Chinese entities. China has thrown Tehran an economic lifeline as its biggest buyer of oil, and Xi appears in no rush to help Trump end a conflict that's pulling US resources from Asia.

2) The Trump administration is discussing additional trade penalties against Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled dollar-for-dollar retaliation to new tariffs imposed by the US. Additional US escalation against Canada could include higher tariffs and other trade actions, according to a White House official. The Canadian government announced that it would double its existing counter-tariffs on US steel and aluminum products to 50% and apply new 50% duties to other US products, affecting $20 billion worth of annual US exports to Canada.

3) Wall Street is anticipating Nvidia's earnings for what they mean to artificial intelligence investors and the market itself. Nvidia is considered the best barometer for AI spending, and its earnings will help determine if hyperscalers are still accelerating or becoming more disciplined. Investors want to hear what Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has to say about capital spending, future demand, and new financing deals that involve Nvidia.
