About this episode

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:


(1) Donald Trump's return to the White House is adding fresh ammo to a decade-long investment strategy that echoes his "Make America Great Again" mantra in a replay of the 2016 playbook.

(2) Vice President Kamala Harris told supporters to accept her election loss at the hands of President-elect Donald Trump but urged them to keep fighting for the ideals she espoused in her campaign as she publicly conceded the 2024 presidential race.

(3) After the Federal Reserve announces what's widely expected to be a quarter-point cut in interest rates, Chair Powell will have to field a barrage of questions about what Donald Trump's return to the White House will mean for growth, inflation and borrowing costs.

(4) The Bank of England is likely to lower interest rates for only the second time this year in a decision that will be overshadowed by the fallout from the UK budget and Donald Trump's election victory.

(5) German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called for a snap election after his fractious, three-way coalition finally collapsed over how to revive the lackluster economy.
