Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump vowed to maintain a naval blockade on Iran and was briefed by commanders on further military options. Iran's speaker of parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said the blockade will further push up oil prices and that it must be lifted for new talks to occur. Trump and Iranian leaders are waiting for the other to yield first, with Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, casting doubt on the likelihood of a deal and vowing not to give up the country's nuclear or missile technologies.2) Apple delivered a strong revenue forecast for the third quarter, with sales expected to rise 14% to 17% in the period. The company warned that memory-chip costs will increase and that shortages of Mac computers will persist for &ldquo;several months.&rdquo; Apple's total sales gained 17% to $111.2 billion during the fiscal second quarter, with the $599 MacBook Neo being particularly popular and remaining sold out at several retailers.3) Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before Congress, with Democrats criticizing the Trump administration over the Iran war, calling it illegal, unpopular, and ill-defined. Hegseth defended the war as crucial to keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, but declined to provide new details on operational metrics or the Pentagon's $25 billion price tag.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sandisk beats, shares slip

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Brent oil rallied to a four-year high after Axios reported that US President Trump will receive a briefing on new military options for action in Iran. The US and Iran have maintained their blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with the conflict in the Middle East called the biggest supply shock in history by the International Energy Agency.2) Alphabet's Google is seeing a clear payoff from its AI spending, with solid growth at its cloud computing unit and a "meaningful acceleration in growth" driven by demand for its AI software and infrastructure. Meta Platforms is lagging behind, with its shares tumbling more than 6% after the company boosted full-year capital expenditures, and its consumer AI app being slower to take off. The four companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, are expected to spend as much as $725 billion in 2026, with a key question being whether that massive spending is providing tangible results.3) Shares of Bill Ackman's Pershing Square USA Ltd. plunged 18% in its debut after the combined initial public offering raised $5 billion. The $5 billion haul was the bare minimum to keep early investors locked into the deal, and fell short of the $25 billion that Pershing Square sought to bring in. Pershing Square USA deserves to trade at a premium to its net assets over time if the newly listed closed-end fund delivers the same outperformance as the hedge fund firm has in the past, Ackman said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI Investment Boosts U.S. Economic Growth

We hear how oil prices have been swinging sharply, with Brent crude briefly hitting 126 dollars a barrel as tensions in the Gulf raise concerns about supply and the wider global economy. Saudi Arabia is to stop funding the LIV Golf tour after spending billions to lure top players away from the PGA Tour.

Oil hits new highs - how bad will it get?

Typically, a society’s population remains stable if women have about 2.1 children each. By that metric, the word has a big problem. In developed countries the total fertility rate is well below that figure. So what are the economic consequences of that shortfall? Soumaya Keynes speaks to Melissa Kearney, a professor at the University of Notre Dame and the director of the Aspen Economic Strategy Group, which recently put out a series on the topic: Demographic Headwinds: The Economic Consequences of Lower Birth Rates and Longer Lives.They discuss why the fertility rate won’t reverse course any time soon — and what happens when the rest of the baby boomers retire.Further reading: Why are fertility rates collapsing? Gender rolesCould working from home solve the global fertility crisis?Subscribe to Soumaya's show on Apple, Spotify, Pocket Casts or wherever you listen.Presented by Soumaya Keynes. Produced by Mischa Frankl-Duval. Michela Tindera is the senior producer. Original music and sound design by Breen Turner.

Powell to stay on at the Fed

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US signaled it would stick with a naval blockade of Iranian ports, as it tries to choke-off Tehran&rsquo;s oil exports and force it back to the negotiating table. US President Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday that Iran was in a &ldquo;state of collapse.&rdquo; His treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, later said Washington&rsquo;s &ldquo;maximum pressure campaign&rdquo; had caused Iran&rsquo;s inflation to accelerate and that the country was running out of oil storage. It would soon have to start cutting production, Bessent said.2) King Charles III called on the US to maintain its leadership role in the world, and to support Ukraine and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in a remarkably pointed speech for a monarch that urged Americans to resist the pull of isolationism.Charles used his remarks to a joint session of Congress &mdash; the first such address by a British monarch in more than three decades &mdash; to argue for preserving the alliance between the UK and US. The king appealed to the shared heritage between the two nations, sprinkling his remarks with references to culture, religion and principles behind America&rsquo;s decision to declare independence 250 years ago 3) With the Fed widely expected to keep rates on hold at the April 28-29 FOMC meeting, the more interesting revelation will concern Jerome Powell&rsquo;s future: Will he stay on or leave the Fed when his term as chair expires May 15? Regardless of his plans, we think Powell will offer only limited forward guidance on policy at his final news conference as chair, with Kevin Walsh on track to be confirmed as his successor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Maintains Pressure on Iran; King Charles Speaks to Congress

This week we are featuring an episode of What’s News Sunday that’s part of an ongoing WSJ series on the cost of divorce. It’s not just about who gets the dog. It's about calculating the true value of a family business, and figuring out if you can actually afford the taxes on the vacation home you just “won” in court. Host Imani Moise speaks with Kristen Shearin, a certified divorce financial analyst, about the math you should do before saying “I do."
