• George Ferguson, Senior Aerospace Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses the revenue growth outlook for SpaceX. Investors have been largely flying blind since the company’s record-breaking IPO last month, with few financial projections to help determine what the stock is actually worth. That changes next week, when the quiet period ends for analysts at banks that underwrote the $86 billion initial public offering, which was led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Corp., Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase & Co., with 18 other banks participating. Starting Tuesday, investors should expect a pile of new research, price targets and growth estimates, all of which should help shed light on where the shares are likely headed in the near term and over the next few years. 
• Michael Shepard, Bloomberg News Senior Technology Editor, joins for a chat on the latest tech headlines, including the Financial Times reporting that OpenAI has proposed giving the US government a 5% stake in the company, and Apple seeking the Trump administration’s approval to purchase chips from two Chinese semiconductor makers on a Pentagon blacklist amid a global memory shortage. 
• Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist, reacts to the June US jobs report. Hiring slowed sharply in June even as the unemployment rate fell, curbing some of the budding momentum in job growth this year. Nonfarm payrolls increased 57,000 last month after downward revisions to the prior two months took some of the shine off recent blockbuster reports, Bureau of Labor Statistics data Thursday showed. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2% as labor force participation plunged, leading investors to scale back bets on Federal Reserve interest-rate increases. 
• Brendan Murray, Bloomberg News Global Trade Editor, shares his thoughts on Washington’s decision not to renew its trade deal with Canada and Mexico - choosing instead to conduct annual reviews of the pact in a decision that risks adding uncertainty for companies producing goods across North America. The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, will remain in force for another decade provided no one country decides to exit. Opting against a longer-term renewal opens the door to years of contentious negotiations over the rules governing continent-wide supply chains and low tariff levels vital for automakers, farmers, retailers and energy companies.

• Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, joins to recap earnings from Nike. Executives gave a cautious outlook and warned about elevated consumer anxiety, adding to investor concerns about the sportswear company’s painfully slow turnaround. Nike expects a slowdown in the coming quarter compared to the current period, citing the timing of wholesale shipments in North America among other factors. Chief Executive Officer Elliott Hill has led Nike for almost two years and progress toward recapturing growth has dragged on, sparking frustration. Management faces ever-growing pressure to produce results, with the company’s stock down 36% this year through Tuesday’s close, putting the shares on track for a fifth consecutive annual decline. 
• Ellen Wald, President at Transversal Consulting and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, examines the long-term impact of the Iran War on energy markets. Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has surged over the past few weeks, with American military support helping boost oil flows to more than 10 million barrels per day, a US official said. The increase since President Donald Trump signed an interim peace agreement with Iran represents a big jump in traffic since the war paralyzed flows. 
• Andrew Grant, BloombergNEF Head of Intelligent Mobility, on BNEF’s Long-Term Electric Vehicle Outlook 2026. The annual flagship report includes analysis of EV adoption in passenger vehicles, commercial vans and trucks, two- and three-wheeled vehicles, and buses globally. It also looks at other drivetrains, including hybrids, natural gas and fuel cells, and explores the resulting impacts on demand for electricity, oil, batteries and materials, as well as CO2 emissions. 
• Nick Wadhams, Bloomberg News National Security Team Leader, weighs in on the US deciding against renewing its trade deal with Canada and Mexico. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said, choosing instead to conduct annual reviews of the pact in a move that risks adding uncertainty for companies producing goods across North America. The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, will remain in force for another a decade provided no one country decides to exit. Annual reviews instead of a longer-term renewal open the door to years of contentious negotiations over the rules governing continent-wide supply chains and low tariff levels vital for automakers, farmers, retailers and energy companies.

• Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman joins to discuss the day’s Supreme Court decisions. A divided US Supreme Court expanded the president’s power to fire top government officials in a blockbuster decision that puts the White House firmly in control of potentially dozens of agencies that have long operated independently. The 6-3 decision overturns a 1935 precedent that laid the legal groundwork for the modern administrative state. The ruling lets President Donald Trump fire Democratic Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Kelly Slaughter despite a law that says commissioners can be removed only for specified reasons. 
• Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence, breaks down the latest in energy markets. Oil rose as traders assessed upcoming peace talks between the US and Iran following a weekend of flare-ups over the Strait of Hormuz, including an attack on a supertanker laden with crude. West Texas Intermediate pared earlier losses, trading above $70 a barrel. Brent was nearly $73 a barrel. Both Tehran and Washington will stand down on their tit-for-tat attacks for now and vessels can move freely through Hormuz, according to a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity. US President Donald Trump said the two sides are set to resume peace talks in Doha on Tuesday. 
• John Butler, Senior Industry Anaylst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses the latest headlines in the telecom space. SpaceX could advance its plan to compete directly with incumbent operators after Bloomberg News reported it held talks with Charter to use the latter’s terrestrial network to offer broader coverage. A Charter deal would help SpaceX address a key constraint of current satellite technology: insufficient capacity to support dense urban and suburban traffic. 
• Nathan Dean, Senior US Policy Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, joins for a look at the fate of the revised 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support. BI expects the bill will likely still become law despite President Trump canceling a signing ceremony on June 24 until the SAVE America Act is passed. Presidents have 10 days to veto legislation -- with some exceptions -- or a bill automatically becomes law.

-Ryan Ward, BloombergNEF Weather Associate, discusses how AI is modeling mega storms with surprising accuracy.

-Brian Egger, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Gaming and Lodging Analyst, discusses Carnival earnings. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Carnival's outlook for 1.75% constant-currency full-year revenue-yield growth (2.25% excluding deployment and loyalty-program changes) reflects a 100-bp guidance reduction since March, due to higher airfare and gas prices amid disruption from conflict in the Middle East.

-Robert Schiffman, Senior Tech Credit Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses SpaceX’s historic bond debut. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: SpaceX's inaugural high grade bond offering could draw heavy demand, aided by first-time issuer scarcity and demand for diversified AI-linked credit exposure. Key-person risk, large funding needs and execution challenges tied to space and AI expansion may raise questions about balance-sheet strength and cash-flow generation over time.

-Mandeep Singh, Global Tech Research Head at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses SpaceX. After pulling off a record $86 billion IPO in mid-June and riding an initial surge, enthusiasm waned for the stock that’s been at the forefront of a retail frenzy in speculative space and AI trades. 

-Madison Muller, Bloomberg News Health Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take: “How Eli Lilly's CEO Plans to Keep the GLP-1 Boom Going.” When Dave Ricks became chief executive officer of Eli Lilly & Co. in 2017, he was facing an industry under siege.

President Donald Trump, then starting his first term, was excoriating them for their high prices. A mounting number of reports showed that soaring costs were even forcing some diabetics to ration insulin.
