About this episode

The episode discusses OPEC's production changes, Jerome Powell's upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, and concerns in the AI sector ahead of major tech earnings reports.

OPEC loses its fourth-biggest producer. Jerome Powell prepares to chair what is almost certainly his final Federal Reserve policy meeting with inflation ticking back up. And a quiet Wall Street Journal report about OpenAI missing targets is rattling the entire AI trade - right before Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Meta report after the bell.
