Overnight, a wartime economy

It’s too early to know how long the U.S. and Israel war against Iran will last. One certainty? All-out war comes at a cost. Already, Qatar has cut natural gas production, bond yields and gas prices are up, and shipping firms are rerouting cargo. The extent of the economic impact, however, remains to be seen. In this episode, we break down how the conflict is already shaping the economy and what to expect if it continues. Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox?

What you need to know about the Live Nation court case

The Department of Justice and dozens of states are accusing Live Nation — the owner of Ticketmaster — of being a monopoly, shutting out competition, and driving up ticket prices. This massive antitrust case was originally brought under the Biden administration, but there are competing currents over antitrust enforcement in the second Trump administration. Also on this morning's show: a fresh glimpse into the job market and an examination of company spending on equipment versus labor.

Fast-casual meal deals are upon us

When you hear "meal deal" you probably think of fast-food chains, like McDonald’s. But as daily life grows more unaffordable, a new tier of chain restaurants are adopting similar options to hang onto their cash-strapped regulars. It's why Panera just launched a new $10 value meal, and analysts expect other fast-casual joints to follow suit. Plus: Data center construction was up nearly 30% in 2025 but had a limited impact on GDP; buy now, pay later for rent payment comes at a price; we discuss the week’s economic headlines.

The link between conflict in Iran and mortgage rates

Mortgage rates dipped below 6% last week. Now, they're back up. Sudden conflict and uncertainty almost always cause volatility in the mortgage market. This time, fears of inflation and higher oil prices are to blame. Also, a look at how the U.S. might protect and insure vessels traveling through the Persian Gulf, and how the Republican tax and spending law signed last summer might help big corporations like Amazon, Meta, and Tesla avoid paying taxes.

War sends cargo to the skies

Military conflict, like the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran, can wreck carefully planned cargo routes. While some ships were sent around the Horn of Africa to avoid the Red Sea, other merchants are pivoting to a costlier measure: transporting goods via airplane. The catch? Air cargo often travels through major airport hubs in the Persian Gulf. In this episode, logistics economics and geopolitical conflicts collide. Plus: Retailers release holiday earnings, vehicle sales may have rebounded, and Compass clashes with Zillow over online listings. Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox?

The U.S., Iran, and the rise of drone warfare

As war in the Middle East widens, it’s become clear that drones now play a fundamental role in global conflict. They’ve changed the way wars are fought—and how much they cost. On today’s show, Kimberly talks with Sarah Kreps, director of the Tech Policy Institute in the Cornell Brooks School of Public Policy, about how drone technology has evolved over the years, how the rise of drone warfare has changed the way global conflicts play out, and what that means for civilians. Here’s everything we talked about today: "Iran strike marks first time U.S. used new one-way attack drones in combat" from Task and Purpose "Iran Fires Cheap Drones Into Arab Countries, Wreaking Havoc" from The New York Times"How are Drones Changing War? The Future of the Battlefield" from the Center for European Policy Analysis "America’s Eroding Airpower" from the Center for New American Security Obama’s Final Drone Strike Data from the Council on Foreign Relations We love hearing from you.

Global markets respond to the attack on Iran

Oil prices are jumping around this morning, but you can bet they're up — around 6-7%. Gold, a safehaven for investors, is up about 2%. "We're in a world where markets and investors are increasingly uncertain about where their money is safe," said Julia Coronado of MarcoPolicy Perspectives in a discussion of today’s market movements. Also: why we pay such close attention to the monthly jobs report and how sites like Moltbook can disrupt the AI industry.

What's going on with the bond market?

When the world gets scary, investors are usually very hungry for bonds because they're safer bets than the stock market. But with the war in Iran, bond yields are going up, yet investors aren't as hungry for them. The reason? Inflation. And later in the program, the Environmental Protection Agency scrapped its “endangerment finding.” We'll discuss what that means for the auto industry and emissions standards.

The economic reverberations of war

The war with Iran continues to disrupt oil production and shipping channels in the Middle East. Today, we're unpacking the ripple effects of the conflict, including concerns about inflation, airline disruptions, and increased prices at the pump. Then, the owner of a Virginia tea shop reflects on the impact of Trump's new blanket tariff, and the tariff on imported goods under $800 is still in effect following the recent Supreme Court ruling.

The Trump administration scrapped the endangerment finding. Now what?

The endangerment finding paved the way for federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from cars, trucks, and power plants. Now that the Environmental Protection Agency has repealed the finding, the future of U.S. climate policy is in limbo. Marketplace’s Amy Scott joins Kimberly to explain what the repeal could mean for the auto industry, American consumers, and the United States’ place in the global transition to clean energy.
