Not easy being green
To:Brew Readers
This may not be the 'Star Wars' movie Disney is looking for...

G’day. If you’re one of the record 45 million people AAA expects to travel this weekend despite high gas prices and questionable weather, we hope wherever you’re waking up today is worth the traffic you had to sit in yesterday. As for our MDW plans, we’ve got a Sunday Special for you tomorrow, but on Monday, we’ll be busy tossing burgers on a grill we haven’t properly cleaned since 2015. We’ll be back in your inbox to start the short week with you on Tuesday.

—Molly Liebergall, Brendan Cosgrove, Dave Lozo, Sam Klebanov, Matty Merritt, Abby Rubenstein, Holly Van Leuven

In today’s newsletter, we’ll look at:

  • Disney’s big bet on a small green Star Wars character
  • The Fed entering its Warsh era
  • Waymos driving themselves into floodwaters

  • Markets: Wall Streeters are likely to spend their long weekend popping bottles after stocks rose yesterday amid hopes for an Iran peace deal. The S&P 500 clinched its longest weekly winning streak since 2023, with eight straight weeks in the green. Not sharing in the celebration is Reddit, which fell after Meta announced its own online forum app.
