Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels, where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made.
And I'm Caroline Hepke in London. We're the hosts of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast.
We're up early every weekday, keeping an eye on what's happening across Europe and around the world.
We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled, and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going.
From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now.
And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy.
We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break.
So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets, you're hearing it while it happens.
It's smart, calm and to the point.

Chapter 2: What recent geopolitical events are impacting oil prices?
Walls had promised to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer if he made it to Washington. Getting back to markets now, get the popcorn out. That's what Wedbush Securities Global Head of Tech Research Dan Ives is saying, ahead of potential blockbuster IPOs from SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI.
This is going to be really a tidal wave of IPOs, and obviously it starts with SpaceX. And look, it just speaks to our view about the fourth industrial revolution. And that's more how I think SpaceX is going to be viewed on the AI data side.
Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities was a guest on Bloomberg Surveillance. Bloomberg News has learned SpaceX plans to price its shares at $135 apiece for a record $75 billion IPO, rather than marketing those shares at a range. The SpaceX IPO could make some of President Trump's wealthiest cabinet members even richer.
Ten officials, including White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler, reported stakes in SpaceX or XAI in their latest financial disclosures. The holdings are worth at least $9.9 to as much as $43.8 million. Google parent Alphabet is planning to raise more money through equity sales. It's upsized its offering from $80 billion to $84.75 billion.
Google shares at the open are higher by about a half percent. The shakeup continues at CBS News. Longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley has been fired after a heated staff meeting this week with new executive producer Nick Bilton. Pelley accused CBS editor-in-chief Barry Weiss of murdering the broadcast.
In a statement, Pelley says the new managers told him to inject falsehoods and bias into his stories, but he was able to ignore them. In his words, the waste is heartbreaking. And that's news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager. This is Bloomberg.
