3 Shifts Edition (May 15 2026): The future of peptides, The UAE's exit from OPEC, A new incoming Fed chair

Hi everyone – we’re back! Welcome to your 3 Shifts Edition [AI-generated audio version].First, peptides are having a moment – fueled by influencer hype, GLP-1 success, and a friendlier stance from the Trump administration. While 100+ peptides are FDA-approved, many popular peptides used by fitness and wellness influencers are not. The Trump administration – with HHS Secretary RFK Jr as frontman – seems poised to change this landscape.Next, the UAE’s sudden exit from OPEC could signal cracks in one of the world’s most influential cartels. While OPEC has been around since 1960, it may not be able to evade the market dynamics as US/UAE/non-OPEC+ production grows, and supply growth and competition from low-cost producers drive down prices.Finally, the incoming Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, has now been confirmed.

While Warsh has been talking a good game about independence, he also seems disposed to be looking for reasons to cut rates – which means he’ll find them.Enjoy.– TamSign up for free briefs mostly written by real people on 6Pages.com
