- Emily Cohn, Bloomberg Consumer Team Leader, discusses Target earnings. Target forecasted better-than-expected profit for the full year, indicating the big-box retailer’s turnaround plans are starting to generate results.

- Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Transport, Logistics and Shipping Analyst, discusses why the US-led attack on Iran heightens near-term risk for e-commerce, threatening both shipping reliability and consumer demand.

- Kirsten Fontenrose, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, discusses the latest out of the Middle East. The US-Israeli war on Iran reverberated across the region for a fourth day, with oil and gas prices surging and the world adjusting to a conflict that President Donald Trump has said could last for weeks. 

- Nathan Dean, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Policy Analyst, discusses why congressional war powers votes aimed at blocking President Donald Trump from further military action in Iran will likely fail. Yet bipartisan dissent could hasten an endgame and lower disruption risks for airlines, energy and shipping.
