On today’s show, we’ll talk about the Federal Reserve’s push for banks to rein in on activities involving physical commodities; look at the possibility of an interest rate hike; how the rise in delivery service apps is affecting restaurants; and progress Google is making with computer-generated speech. 

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible.
