Morning Blast - 8th May: Gunfire in the Gulf, Bloodbath at the Ballot Box

PiQ Morning Blast is a daily live markets podcast hosted by Ryan Paisey and Michael Brown, covering global macro, geopolitics, and trading markets with no filter. This morning Ryan and Michael opened with a significant overnight development: US military forces intercepted Iranian attacks on US destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz, then struck the Iranian military facilities used to carry out the attacks. Trump framed it as defensive action and confirmed the ceasefire remains in effect. The key question: with Iran so fractured and leaderless after months of strikes, does anyone actually know who fired first? On UK elections, a senior Labour source summed up the results in three words not printable here. With a third of English council results declared, Reform UK is winning roughly one in three seats declared while Labour is losing close to half of what it was defending. Projections of 1,800 Labour seat losses are circulating. Keir Starmer said he "will stand as Prime Minister at the next general election" – a quote both Ryan and Michael agreed will age badly. Watch the Sunday papers and the weekend political shows for when the real manoeuvring begins. On NFP, Michael walked through the April US jobs report due at 1:30pm London: consensus 65,000, with leading indicators broadly positive including ADP at 109,000 and initial claims at cycle lows. But as Michael put it, this is unlikely to move the needle on Fed policy – markets are pricing virtually nothing from the Fed through year end and the central bank is firmly focused on inflation, not payrolls. An unmissable Friday morning show. Subscribe and tune in every weekday at 8:30am UK.

Morning Blast - 30th April: Fed's messiest vote, BoE on the spot, four hyperscalers and a Trump meme

Ryan and Michael Brown on a Thursday show with the Fed's messiest vote since 1992, a Bank of England decision under impossible circumstances, and four hyperscaler earnings to digest before Apple reports tonight. On the Middle East, Trump posted to Truth Social that Iran cannot get their act together, accompanied by a machine gun meme captioned "No more Mr Nice Guy." US Central Command is briefing the President today on a range of military options, including potentially taking control of the Strait of Hormuz. On the FOMC, the vote was eleven to one to hold, with Governor Miran dissenting for a cut. Three regional presidents separately dissented on the easing bias language in the statement, a distinction Michael unpacks in detail and explains why the eight-to-four framing you may have seen everywhere was wrong. On earnings, all four hyperscalers beat, but Meta sold off after hours on the gap between its rising capex and its inability to monetise it the way Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft already are. On the Bank of England, a hold at three and three quarter percent with the vote split the real story. Hugh Pill the likely hawkish dissenter, with Megan Greene and Catherine Mann potentially joining him. Clive Lambert at FuturesTechs with the levels.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
