15:40Now PlayingIt’s another high-stakes week on Wall Street as business, politics, and global power dynamics collide, and Big Business This Week breaks down what it all means for markets. Host JD Durkin is joined by Rob Schroeder, Washington Bureau Chief at MarketWatch, to unpack the Trump administration’s investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, growing questions around central bank independence, and how investors are reacting across bonds and equities. We also dive into Trump-era tariffs facing major court and Supreme Court tests, and the uncertainty those legal battles are creating for trade, inflation, and corporate planning. Plus, the sudden bipartisan focus on affordability, global energy market ripple effects tied to Venezuela and Iran, and what renewed U.S. interest in Greenland signals about America’s economic and geopolitical strategy.
