Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu 
Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman joins to discuss the day’s Supreme Court decisions. A divided US Supreme Court expanded the president’s power to fire top government officials in a blockbuster decision that puts the White House firmly in control of potentially dozens of agencies that have long operated independently. The 6-3 decision overturns a 1935 precedent that laid the legal groundwork for the modern administrative state. The ruling lets President Donald Trump fire Democratic Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Kelly Slaughter despite a law that says commissioners can be removed only for specified reasons. 
Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence, breaks down the latest in energy markets. Oil rose as traders assessed upcoming peace talks between the US and Iran following a weekend of flare-ups over the Strait of Hormuz, including an attack on a supertanker laden with crude. West Texas Intermediate pared earlier losses, trading above $70 a barrel. Brent was nearly $73 a barrel. Both Tehran and Washington will stand down on their tit-for-tat attacks for now and vessels can move freely through Hormuz, according to a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity. US President Donald Trump said the two sides are set to resume peace talks in Doha on Tuesday. 
John Butler, Senior Industry Anaylst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses the latest headlines in the telecom space. SpaceX could advance its plan to compete directly with incumbent operators after Bloomberg News reported it held talks with Charter to use the latter’s terrestrial network to offer broader coverage. A Charter deal would help SpaceX address a key constraint of current satellite technology: insufficient capacity to support dense urban and suburban traffic. 
Nathan Dean, Senior US Policy Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, joins for a look at the fate of the revised 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support. BI expects the bill will likely still become law despite President Trump canceling a signing ceremony on June 24 until the SAVE America Act is passed. Presidents have 10 days to veto legislation -- with some exceptions -- or a bill automatically becomes law.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu 

- Ed Ludlow, BTech Anchor discusses the top tech stories. Technology stocks slumped after Apple and Microsoft raised prices for their products, stoking concern that rising component costs will curb demand for devices. Investors are reassessing whether soaring memory prices may begin to choke off spending by raising costs for electronics makers and consumers alike. Separately, OpenAI is leaning toward holding off on an initial public offering until 2027, according to the New York Times, citing three people involved in the company’s deliberations.

-David Welch, Bloomberg Detroit Bureau Chief, discusses Volkswagen looking to cut tens of thousands of additional jobs. The plans include doubling staff reductions and cutting general overhead costs by €11 billion by the end of this decade. Labor leaders have pushed back against the new plans, stating they "unsettle our workforce and the regions where we operate" and vowing to oppose them with all their might.

-George Ferguson, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Aerospace, Defense, & Airlines Analyst, discusses Boeing securing an order from China Southern Airlines  valued at $3.62 billion, marking an important win for the US manufacturer after seeing orders dry up from Asia’s largest aviation market in the past decade.

-Sridhar Natarajan, Bloomberg News Chief Wall Street Correspondent, discusses the latest at JPMorgan Chase. Troy Rohrbaugh was promoted to co-president at JPMorgan and will oversee the bank's consumer business. Rohrbaugh's promotion came after the departure of Marianne Lake, and he will receive a one-time award of $30 million as part of a retention bonus. The move has lifted Rohrbaugh's odds of potentially replacing Jamie Dimon as CEO, with insiders speculating on the rapid rise of Rohrbaugh and Doug Petno, who will have sole charge of the Wall Street operations.

-Jake Silverman, Bloomberg Intelligence Semiconductor Analyst, recaps Micron earnings. Micron Technology Inc. shares surged after the company issued a quarterly sales forecast that exceeded Wall Street estimates, signaling that an AI-fueled growth run remains strong. Micron has secured 16 strategic customer agreements, which suggests the company can mitigate the boom-and-bust cycles that have plagued the memory chip industry.

-Michael Halen, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst, discusses earnings from Darden Restaurants. Darden Restaurants Inc. posted a cautious overall profit outlook as same-store sales at Olive Garden trailed expectations. The company sees fiscal 2027 earnings per share from continuing operations between $11.10 and $11.35, below analysts’ forecast.

-Matt Miller, Open Interest Co-Host on Bloomberg Television and Co-Host of the Hot Pursuits Podcast, discusses his interview with Ford CEO Jim Farley. Ford hired veteran engineers to help train younger staff and reprogram artificial intelligence tools to address quality problems.
