About this episode
The episode discusses Anthropic's IPO filing, Alphabet's equity plans, oil price fluctuations, and U.S. factory activity's impact on inflation.
Anthropic's confidential IPO filing sets off a frenzy of new listings, but Alphabet's plan to raise $80 billion in equity takes some of the shine off the excitement.
