A pod at the intersection of financial markets and government policy
Macrocast by Forbes Tate Partners & Markets Policy Partners
AI Hype, Bitcoin Buzz, and the End of the Shutdown
This week on the Macrocast, the team unpacks the end of the 43-day government shutdown—the longest in U.S. history—and what the government’s reopening could mean for markets and economic confidence.
The conversation then turns to the fast-evolving world of AI, where policymakers, investors, and analysts are debating whether the sector’s rapid growth reflects genuine innovation or valuations that may be getting ahead of themselves. The hosts also take a look at the latest volatility in crypto markets, including Bitcoin’s recent swings and the market buzz sparked by the return of McDonald’s McRib.
As always, the team breaks down the week’s major moves and what they really mean for markets, policymakers, and everyday Americans.
