Good evening, this is Markets Desk with the stories driving the conversation tonight.
Shots fired near the White House Correspondents' Dinner sent shockwaves through Washington Saturday night, as Secret Service agents rushed President Trump from the venue in a rapid evacuation caught on video. A suspect is now in custody, and while the scene was chaotic, no attendees were reported injured.
CBS senior correspondent Weijia Jiang, who chairs the White House Correspondents' Association and was seated beside the President when the shots rang out, drew widespread praise for her composure under pressure. She was back in the briefing room shortly after, reporting the story with the same steadiness that defined the entire evening for many watching.
Turning to the Federal Reserve, Chairman Jerome Powell now faces a consequential personal decision following the conclusion of a criminal probe that had hung over Washington's policy circles. With trade uncertainty already straining the economic outlook, markets will be watching closely whether Powell signals continuity or prepares an exit at one of the most delicate moments in recent monetary history.
That's the tape.
