We also discussed how a lapse of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits impacted grocers like Walmart, Kroger and Albertsons.

Balance of Power: DC Policy Pulse for Oct 27, 2025 (Podcast)

10/27/2025
A status update on proposals from the Federal Reserve -- such as the rule known as the Basel III endgame to another one on a banks' G-SIB -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Oct. 27. While Bloomberg News reports that the Fed may increase capital requirements 3%-7% via the Basel III endgame, other actions could ultimately negate that impact for banks like Bank of America, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. We also discussed news reports that Treasury Secretary has narrowed down a list of potential Fed chairs to five individuals as well as an upcoming Senate vote on a resolution disapproving President Donald Trump's Canada and Brazil tariffs. It should be noted that move is largely symbolic. The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington D.C.

Balance of Power: DC Policy Pulse for Oct 20, 2025 (Podcast)

10/20/2025
An update on President Donald Trump's threat to play an additional 100% tariffs on China -- and the potential for Congress to act on a resolution overturning Trump's emergency tariffs related to Canada and Brazil -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Oct. 22. We note that any resolution, to become law, would need Trump's signature. We also discussed the current policy state of play for the crypto industry, including the potential rulemakings and legislation set to impact firms like Coinbase, Robinhood, Circle and Bullish. Finally, we reviewed our note on SEC efforts to "Make IPOs Great Again" and how smaller firms could be the beneficiaries of such actions.
