U.S. oil inventories fall to a 22-year low
Oil inventories have fallen drastically since President Trump launched the war against Iran. But it’s not because we’re suddenly using more fuel. Instead, the U.S. is exporting much more oil than usual — to places that can’t get enough with the Strait of Hormuz blocked. All this will have knock-on effects for oil prices in the U.S. for months to come. Plus: Investors want to yank more money from private credit firms, your social media algorithim is likely full of “stealth ads,” and we visit the elk antler market in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.Every story has an economic angle.

The hourly vs. salary wage gap
The episode examines whether the U.S. economy is entering stagflation, defined by slowing growth and rising prices, as GDP growth slowed to 1.6% and inflation (PCE) remained high at 3.8%.
