We unpack a divided Fed, increasingly hawkish signals from global central banks, and what may be Chair Powell’s final act as leadership transitions are ahead. Economic data remains solid, with resilient GDP growth and jobless claims evoking a “Summer of ’69” moment for the labor market. Plus, myths about filing an extension and tools for finding long-term care for a loved one. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/money-talk-6044349/episodes/money-talk-5-2-26/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/money-talk-6044349/money-talk-5-2-26.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
