What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThis is a BBN special report. Per Bloomberg, Fed minutes show unified, hawkish support for the September rate hike, and possibly more tightening ahead.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUnity matters. Markets hoped for a split committee. They got a choir.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe S and P is down point two two at seven thousand eight hundred two.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe Nasdaq is down point three three, the Dow down point five nine, and the Russell down one point one nine.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSmall caps hate expensive money, Hank.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFutures agree. S and P futures are down point two seven. Watch the ten-year, and any Fed speakers who hint at the next move.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAs we told you earlier, Microsoft held its Windows event.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNew, per The Verge: Copilot will access local files and take actions across the whole operating system.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the Fed wants everything tighter, and Microsoft wants your files looser. Per The Verge, privacy concerns are the obvious catch. Brilliant.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHybrid Intelligence is a gift, Dale. My computer will finally organize the folder I named final-final-actually-final.

  11. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt will also read your search history and judge you. Rate hikes are the least invasive thing happening to you today.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you both. A committee agrees, an assistant gets your files, and neither one asked me. Back to the tape.
