Summary
Today is likely Jay Powell’s final FOMC meeting as Federal Reserve Chair, with Kevin Warsh expected to be sworn in as his successor. Carlyle Group co-founder and co-chairman David Rubenstein discusses the Fed’s two-day policy meeting and Powell’s legacy leading the central bank. Then, a heated debate over a potential federal rescue of Spirit Airlines: Association of Flight Attendants international president Sara Nelson and Advancing American Freedom senior fellow Joel Griffith break down the pros and cons of a $500 million bailout. Plus, Elon Musk continues his testimony in the high-profile trial against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and CNBC’s Dan Murphy reports on the UAE’s departure from OPEC.
