Ologies with Alie Ward - Field Trip: I Chased the 2024 Eclipse with Umbraphiles

Come along like a frog in my pocket for an adventure to see an eclipse. After last week’s Heliology episode on the Sun, I rushed out of state to see what the fuss was about and to witness my first ever total eclipse of the Sun. Did it go as planned? Of course not? Did it work out? You’ll have to listen. We’ve got: a rollercoaster of emotions, last-minute pivots, chats with strangers, highway scenery, hope, anxiety, awe, and tears as we see if my seven-year wait for totality pans out.

The Bulwark Podcast - Olivia Nuzzi: Kari Lake Is No Meryl Streep

Kari Lake can deliver a good performance, but she's not really a true believer, as her flip on the Arizona abortion law shows. Plus, the normal part of life near the border, the specter of violence at MAGA rallies, and the grueling but necessary function of covering Trump for the long haul. Olivia Nuzzi joins Tim Miller.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Bitcoin’s Rally and its Relationship With Inflation

The latest price moves and insights with Helene Braun and Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex.


To get the show every day, follow the podcast here.

On "Markets Daily,"  Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex, Marc Chandler, joins Markets Daily with insight on the recent consumer price index (CPI) report and its implications for the market, particularly for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The CPI report showed higher-than-expected inflation rates, leading to a rise in US interest rates and a decline in risk assets, including crypto. They also touch on the US jobs report and its impact on interest rates. 

Takeaways |

  • The CPI report showed higher-than-expected inflation rates, leading to a decline in risk assets, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
  • The US jobs report, which surpassed expectations, signals a robust economy but raises concerns about interest rates.
  • The relationship between Bitcoin and inflation is questioned, with the guest suggesting that Bitcoin's recent rally is driven more by the advent of ETFs and speculative demand.
  • The impact of the halving on crypto prices is anticipated to be slightly weaker this year due to the shock to supply caused by ETFs.
  • The potential for new record highs in Bitcoin depends on market participants' interpretation of the current consolidation pattern and their confidence in Fed cuts.
