Rate Hikes with Jim Bullard; Crypto Ads with FTX US; Border Watch in Ukraine

A super-sized episode, starting with St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard’s suggestion of a super-sized hike in interest rates. After Bullard’s original comments spooked the markets last week, he makes his case to mitigate 40-year inflation highs with a fast reaction from the U.S. central bank. Abroad, tensions between Russia and Ukraine--and now the rest of the world--remain unresolved, and investors gauging the geopolitics remain uncertain. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov suggested Russia would continue diplomatic talks with the West, a move toward deescalation. Plus, The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 56, but there was another battle--between crypto companies--during breaks from the game. President of crypto exchange FTX U.S. Brett Harrison discusses crypto commercials at the Super Bowl, his platform’s own collaboration with comedian Larry David, and Coinbase’s QR code that crashed its website.
