In an extended interview, former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein discusses the fine line for Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell, who prepares to speak to markets and investors today. Blankfein discusses the Fed’s inflation fight vs. market stability balancing act, and he shares the lessons on regulation and transparency that he learned from his own experience with a banking crisis in 2008. Plus, a break from the banks: Petco’s business is booming, CEO Ron Coughlin says, thanks to the work-from-home surge; the Mets are going members-only (for $25,000), and Nike’s pace is lagging–for income, at least.
