Wall Street pros are staring down a pivotal week that will likely set the tone for the rest of the year in markets and the economy.

First and foremost is the conclusion of the Federal Reserve’s meeting on Wednesday, and although it isn’t expected to cut interest rates, traders and investors will be poring over commentary for clues about the path ahead. Then there’s a string of Big Tech earnings with Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., Meta Platforms Inc. and Microsoft Corp. all reporting. And sprinkled throughout are some key indicators on the state of the economy, from gross domestic product to nonfarm payrolls.

In other words, if there ever was a five-day stretch that would define the second half of the year, this is it.

Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. On this edition, Joe and Kailey speak with:

• Bloomberg Senior Editor for US and Canada Equities Michael Regan.
• Bloomberg Politics Contributor Jeanne Sheehan Zaino and Bluestack Strategies Founder Maura Gillespie.
