WSJ What’s News · What’s News in Markets: Tariff Fear, Delta Soars, AMD + OpenAI · 11 Oct 2025 podcast

Sure, I love a lot of things about the digital information age, but on the whole, I was not built for it, right?

I hate texting, I love typewriters, and I love getting mail, handwritten letters hand-delivered to me by a person.

And I never want to watch a film written by or starring some kind of generative AI.

So I needed you guys to know that before I read this opening line that I wrote.

And I'm going to try not to make it sound like a scary movie written just for me.

Guys, the future of food delivery is here.

And guess what?

It's AI robots.

Yes, CERV Robotics, the maker of AI-powered food delivery robots,

announced a multi-year partnership with DoorDash on Thursday.

Now, as a New Yorker, I did not know this, but Serv's self-driving sidewalk robots have already been making deliveries in L.A., as well as Miami, Dallas, Chicago, and Atlanta, through an existing partnership with Uber Eats.

But this new deal will help the company expand its footprint.

And it sent the stock up a whopping 29% on Thursday, and it ended the week up 14%.

And now you know what's news in markets this week.

You can read about more stocks that moved on the week's news in The Score, my column in the Wall Street Journal's Exchange section.

Today's show was produced by Zoe Kolkin with Deputy Editor Chris Dinsley.

I'm Francesca Fontana.

Have a great weekend and I'll see you next Saturday.

WSJ What’s News · What’s News in Markets: Tesla Turmoil, Steelmaker Rallies, Dollar General Gains · 7 Jun 2025 podcast

Hey Listeners, it's Saturday, June 7th. I'm Francesca Fontana for The Wall Street Journal and this is What's News in Markets. Our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them. Let's get to it. All right. What happened this week? Of course, of course, we had more earnings reports. We had developments in tariffs with steel and aluminum.

But we're going to get to that later, because really what captured all of our attention and not just in the stock market was the giant feud unfolding between President Trump and Elon Musk. So it started with Musk's criticism of Trump's tax and spending megabill and it escalated to an afternoon of back and forth insults and attacks.
