In this episode, we explore the International Monetary Fund's updated global growth forecast, which benefits from easing US tariffs but carries warnings of potential future economic challenges and persistent inflation. We then dive into the landmark $85 billion merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, set to create the first coast-to-coast freight rail network in the United States, while facing opposition from the SMART TD union concerned about jobs and pricing. Finally, we examine AI startup Anthropic’s plans to raise up to $5 billion at a staggering $170 billion valuation, alongside CEO Dario Amodei’s shift on Middle Eastern funding amid heightened investor interest in AI technology.
