China’s Role in Iran War, Global Fertilizer Disruptions, Matcha’s Supply Problem
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the Iran war on global fertilizer and fuel costs, the implications of allowing first-time homebuyers to access retirement savings, and the challenges farmers face with social media-driven demand for their products.
This week, the Fed holds rates steady, anticipating greater uncertainty and higher prices as war in Iran drives up fertilizer and fuel costs. Plus, letting first-time homebuyers tap retirement savings might ease down payments, but it can also fuel demand and push home prices higher. Later, can farmers respond quickly enough when social media spikes demand for their produce, or do viral trends create more risk than opportunity? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
