-Brian Egger, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Gaming and Lodging Analyst, discusses Carnival earnings. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Carnival's outlook for 1.75% constant-currency full-year revenue-yield growth (2.25% excluding deployment and loyalty-program changes) reflects a 100-bp guidance reduction since March, due to higher airfare and gas prices amid disruption from conflict in the Middle East.

-Robert Schiffman, Senior Tech Credit Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses SpaceX’s historic bond debut. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: SpaceX's inaugural high grade bond offering could draw heavy demand, aided by first-time issuer scarcity and demand for diversified AI-linked credit exposure. Key-person risk, large funding needs and execution challenges tied to space and AI expansion may raise questions about balance-sheet strength and cash-flow generation over time.

-Mandeep Singh, Global Tech Research Head at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses SpaceX. After pulling off a record $86 billion IPO in mid-June and riding an initial surge, enthusiasm waned for the stock that’s been at the forefront of a retail frenzy in speculative space and AI trades.

-Madison Muller, Bloomberg News Health Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take: “How Eli Lilly's CEO Plans to Keep the GLP-1 Boom Going.” When Dave Ricks became chief executive officer of Eli Lilly & Co. in 2017, he was facing an industry under siege. Americans held drug companies in lower esteem than airlines, law firms and even the federal government. President Donald Trump, then starting his first term, was excoriating them for their high prices. A mounting number of reports showed that soaring costs were even forcing some diabetics to ration insulin.

Bloomberg's Lisa Abramowicz and Scarlet Fu discuss remarks from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh following the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision on a special edition of Bloomberg Surveillance.

Warsh vowed to restore price stability following his first policy meeting since taking the helm of the US central bank, after officials left interest rates unchanged and signaled growing support for rate hikes this year.

“Persistently high prices are a burden for the American people, but the recent past need not be prologue,” Warsh said in his debut press conference as chairman. Officials “are unambiguous and unanimous. This committee will deliver price stability.”

Bloomberg's Lisa Abramowicz and Scarlet Fu break down the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision on a special edition of Bloomberg Surveillance.
Federal Reserve officials left interest rates unchanged and were split over whether they expect to raise rates this year.
Policymakers’ new projections indicated nine officials foresee at least one quarter-point hike this year, with six anticipating at least two. Another nine expected no move or a cut.
Notably, only 18 officials out of 19 entered their projections for rates at the end of 2026. The absence of an entry suggests new Chairman Kevin Warsh, who has been critical of so-called forward guidance, declined to submit a rate forecast.
In its first gathering under Warsh’s leadership, the Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to hold its benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 3.5% to 3.75%.
