Big Take

After nearly four months of fighting, the US and Iran have declared a memorandum of understanding aimed at halting hostilities between the two sides and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Oil fell and stocks rose on the announcement that the conflict could soon be over, but a lack of details and ongoing fighting between Israel and Iran’s proxies in Lebanon have left many wondering if this is just a temporary reprieve.
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, Sarah Holder and Bloomberg National Security Editor Nick Wadhams look at what each side wants in a deal, how Israel fits into the equation and what to watch for ahead of the formal signing on June 19 in Switzerland.

How the US and Iran Might Spin Their Deal to End the War

Almost a century after the Wall Street crash of 1929, Andrew Ross Sorkin says he believes some of its most dangerous ingredients are reappearing. Joining Stephanie Flanders on Trumponomics, the financial journalist and author of 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History argues that today’s market is filled with “eerie parallels” to the late 1920s. These include a transformative new technology, a flood of retail investors and a growing willingness to loosen the rules.

Weddings are famously expensive. But with consumer prices on the rise and inflation accelerating at its fastest pace in three years last month, 2026’s newlyweds face exceptionally high prices.
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder and Bloomberg’s Josyana Joshua and Dina Katgara unpack the $100 billion wedding economy: how much nuptials could set you back, why discretionary spending on weddings has remained stable on either end of the K-shaped economy and why witches—yes, witches—are showing up at the altar.

Will they reap the benefits? Or trade in one uncertain economy for another?

Can AI Save This Failing Rural Economy?

President Rodrigo Paz ended 20 years of socialist rule in Bolivia with promises of unity, democracy and prosperity — and plans to tap the country’s mineral wealth. But when host David Gura went to Bolivia to interview the president, he found a harsher reality: demonstrators blockading La Paz’s streets to demand the president’s resignation.
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, Gura shows how centuries-old distrust of government is complicating President Paz’s efforts to persuade Bolivians – and investors – that this time is different.
