Cards & Chips: A Deal for Discover & $1.5B for Semiconductors 02/20/24

It’s big news for your wallet: Capital One is set to acquire Discover in a $35.3B all-stock deal, pending any regulatory hurdles. In the run-up to the 2024 election, Axios co-founder Mike Allen is watching two key issues: President Biden’s upcoming State of the Union, and former President Trump’s days in court. In DC, the Biden administration is awarding chipmaker GlobalFoundries $1.5B for semiconductor production; National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard discusses the White House’s program to bolster jobs and chips in the US. Plus, crude prices and bitcoin prices are on the rise.
