Uncertainty in Israeli Election; Bolsonaro Flees Brazil
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu edged past opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot in the country’s tight election with more than 70% of the votes counted. Netanyahu’s bloc was projected to win 54 seats and Eisenkot’s 47 in the 120-member Knesset, with 19 going to Israeli Arab parties. The outcome of the election is still uncertain, with neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot yet having a clear path toward forming a government.2) Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in Miami after fleeing his country following a defeat in its presidential election, O Globo reported. A senior State Department official said the US would grant visas to Flávio and his family, as he faces multiple criminal investigations in Brazil. Flávio Bolsonaro was ordered to surrender his passports to Federal Police but failed to do so, amid concerns he posed a flight risk, according to a police official familiar with the situation.3) The Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady on Wednesday despite inflation data for September coming in hotter than expected. Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh could face pressure to explain policymakers' rationale for not acting now after they voted unanimously last month to raise rates to address burgeoning inflation. The Fed will release a post-meeting statement and Warsh will hold a press conference to discuss the decision and potentially address concerns about inflation and future rate hikes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israel Election; Trump's Red State Midterm Blitz
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Israel is holding its first election since the 2023 Hamas attack, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeking reelection, saying his military campaigns have improved security. Polls forecast a razor-thin outcome, with neither bloc likely to secure enough votes to claim a parliamentary majority, potentially leading to complex negotiations and a possible second election. The Israeli Arab minority may end up as kingmakers, with the two Israeli Arab parties offering to support a government led by former armed forces chief Gadi Eisenkot, who is leading the opposition against Netanyahu.2) The US Midterm election for control of Congress is now just seven days away. President Trump was in Mississippi last night urging Republicans to turn out and vote for incumbent Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Today, President Trump continues his red state campaign blitz in Texas. He's set to hold rallies this afternoon in Corpus Christi and tonight in Lubbock for Republican Ken Paxton, who's locked in a tight Senate race with Democrat James Talarico. The president has been trying to ease voter concerns about higher fuel costs from the wars in Ukraine and Iran. While in Texas, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to join President Trump in Port Arthur to show off a newly-arrived oil tanker with Venezuelan crude. It also comes as the average price Americans are paying for gasoline under President Trump has overtaken the average during the Biden administration.3) Flávio Bolsonaro abandoned plans to challenge the result of Brazil’s presidential election, while his Liberal Party formally conceded defeat to reelected President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The Liberal Party recognized the election result in a statement, while criticizing the increase of public spending in the run-up to the vote and its potential impact on the race. Bolsonaro said he would now seek to have Lula’s ticket disqualified, citing what he described as false information and the use of public funds for measures announced in the final weeks of the campaign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lula's Comeback in Brazil; Trump Threatens to "Finish it Off" in Iran
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast:1) President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil’s runoff election with 51.8% of the vote, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro who received 48.2%. Lula's victory will likely lead to market uncertainty and a potential selloff of assets, as investors had been expecting a Flavio Bolsonaro win to fix the country's fiscal accounts. Early indications pointed to a major rout, with an ETF tracking Brazilian equities in New York sinking 27% in pre-market trading, and a currency derivatives contract showing the real at 5.55 per dollar. Bolsonaro called for the annulment of Brazil’s presidential runoff after losing the election to Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro accused the Supreme Court of changing the rules mid-game when it mandated a last-minute extension of voting hours on Sunday.2) President Trump said it's "getting to be decision time" on whether he will make a deal with Tehran or resume attacks as Iranian and Houthi threats against Americans continue to grow. The US is reducing diplomatic and military staffing in parts of the Middle East amid growing threats from Iran and the Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen. Iran is preparing to retaliate across the Middle East, including against Israel and the United Arab Emirates, in the event of a fresh US bombing campaign.3) Democrats are preparing to launch congressional investigations into the administration's handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein if they regain power after the midterm elections. Representative Robert Garcia said the Epstein investigation is going to be one of the top priorities, alongside probes into the Trump family's business dealings and allegations of corporate corruption. Any probe would ripple well beyond Washington, with Wall Street and corporate America already bracing for a wave of Democratic investigations, and major banks that had ties to Epstein's financial dealings could be called to testify.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Seeks to Boost Iowa Republicans, Musk Midterm Giving Tops $445 Million
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump traveled to Iowa on Thursday to boost Ashley Hinson, the Republican Senate candidate locked in a tight race with Democrat Josh Turek. Trump’s visit is the first of two he is expected to make to the state before Election Day on November 3rd. After reliably voting Republican for the past decade, Iowa has become competitive territory once again thanks to high fertilizer and fuel costs wrought by Trump’s war on Iran and shrinking export markets for farmers due to his tariffs.2) With a fresh infusion of cash to his super political action committee in the first two weeks of October, Elon Musk has now given more than $445 million in the current election cycle and become one of the biggest-ever contributors to such groups. The world’s richest person put $77 million into America PAC, Federal Election Commission filings show, in an effort to elect Republicans in November midterm contests.3) Stocks steadied at the start of the European session, offering global investors some respite after a rout in the artificial intelligence trade, while further gains in oil prices kept sentiment cautious. Meantime, a gauge of the inverse relationship between US government bonds and AI-focused stocks has strengthened to levels last seen a year ago. It’s a sign the deepening tech selloff is sending investors back into bonds for safety, reviving a haven role that had faded as inflation worries and higher interest rates weighed on Treasuries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Midterms Enter Final Stretch, US Pulls Some Saudi Diplomats
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump returned to South Carolina on Wednesday to bolster Darline Graham, whose campaign for a 6-year US Senate term representing the conservative state has become unexpectedly tight ahead of US midterm elections on November 3rd. Elsewhere, final debates were held in two of tighest Senate contests - Michigan and Kansas. Meantime, the Senate contest in the historically Republican state of Mississippi is drawing fresh attention in the final stretch of the election cycle, with Trump planning a rally to boost the GOP candidate and control of the chamber.2) The US ordered some diplomats and their families to leave Saudi Arabia because of the threat from Houthi militants, as the Iran-backed group carried out more strikes from Yemen. At least four people were killed by attacks on an Aramco oil site and an eastern airport on Wednesday. The moves come as tensions escalate across the Middle East, with the US and Israel drawing up plans for renewed strikes on the Islamic Republic, according to the New York Times, and Tehran saying it struck more tankers going through the Strait of Hormuz.3) Barclays Plc said it’s cutting 5,000 jobs, or about 5% of total headcount, as part of a “technology-enabled” effort to reduce costs as it adopts artificial intelligence across the bank. The bank reported third-quarter earnings Thursday that missed several key estimates. Barclays’ bond traders suffered the biggest slump on Wall Street during the quarter, taking the shine off a strong performance on the equities desk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Earnings Special: Meta Boosts Bet on AI With Spending Outlook, New Stock Class
Meta Platforms boosted its capital spending outlook and announced plans for a new class of nonvoting stock, escalating its already-stratospheric bet on artificial intelligence. Capital expenditures will be $135 billion to $145 billion in 2026, the social-media giant said during its quarterly earnings report Wednesday, raising the bottom end of the range from $130 billion. The moves show that Meta has confidence that its spending on artificial intelligence will bear fruit. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg has struggled to persuade investors to accept the company’s ballooning expenses for ambitious AI bets. But in recent months, Meta has made headway with its technology. Meta shares rose in after-hours trading on Wednesday. They had gained about 6% this year through the close in New York. For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Businessweek Daily hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech co-host.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
