  • Understanding Kamala Harris’ Plan for the Economy
    Sep 19 2024

    Since Vice President Kamala Harris took over the Democratic presidential ticket, she’s faced criticism from voters who say they don’t know what she stands for. But we know two Bloomberg reporters who do: California bureau chief Karen Breslau, who’s been following Harris’ career for two decades, and Josh Wingrove, who covers her campaign.

    Today on the show, they join host Sarah Holder to discuss what we know about Harris’ economic message and what a Harris presidency could mean for everything from domestic taxes to global trade.

  • The Fed Cut Interest Rates. Now What?
    Sep 18 2024

    Bloomberg’s Enda Curran joins host Sarah Holder to talk about what effects we can expect to see as the rate cut ripples through the US economy and the world — and hits our wallets.

  • Carry Trades, Explained
    Sep 17 2024

    They caused global markets to seize up – and raised serious questions about just how much money was at stake. No, we’re not talking about the last Fed meeting, or the US jobs report. We’re talking about carry trades – an obscure part of international markets that this summer suddenly became less obscure.

    On today’s Big Take podcast, our Bloomberg Explains series continues with Bloomberg Opinion columnist Shuli Ren. She tells hosts K. Oanh Ha and David Gura when the yen carry trade began and what went wrong, and we look at what this week's expected interest rate cut in the US could mean for the practice.
