With the US announcing a blockade on Iran and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz remaining in flux, energy prices will become an ever more important issue ahead of the US midterm elections in November. In this episode of Votes and Verdicts, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior energy analyst Rob Barnett joins us to discuss Washington’s influence on energy, what President Donald Trump can and can’t do to lower gasoline prices and the impact of the Iranian conflict on the renewables sector. We also discussed how companies like Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Occidental Petroleum, Continental Resources and First Solar can navigate developments in Washington.

The outlook for crypto legislation and rulemaking, with implications for Coinbase, Circle and others, leads this episode of Bloomberg Intelligence’s Votes and Verdicts. We also discussed a CFPB open banking proposal and what it means for banks like JPMorgan and Bank of America as well as fintechs like Plaid. Elsewhere, Mead Johnson’s liability exposure will likely be clarified in the first federal test trial in lawsuits alleging preterm infant formula causes necrotizing enterocolitis. Fox, Disney, Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery have the clearest exposure if Congress enacts a federal framework for college sports. President Donald Trump’s renewed bid to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook probably fails, and the midterm elections could threaten the Supreme Court’s business-friendly tilt.

Nathan Dean’s analysis of the likelihood of a government shutdown and potential passage of a crypto bill - with implications for Coinbase, Circle and others - leads this episode of Bloomberg Intelligence's Votes and Verdicts podcast. He also discussed a proposed bill to impose sanctions on Russia and a bill to ease regulations for banks like Truist, Zions, PNC, Regions Financial and others.

He also explained why tax policy matters for AI infrastructure and hyperscalers like Alphabet, Amazon.com, Meta and Microsoft.
