President Trump picked Kevin Warsh to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, choosing a former Fed official who has aligned himself with the president’s criticism of the central bank. Some market participants see Warsh as a relatively safe option, given his Fed experience and his track record as an inflation hawk.

Traders have increasingly bid up prices for longer-term oil supplies in response. Contracts for Dec. 2027 deliveries of Brent crude now run about $78 a barrel, up from less than $66 a month ago.

It’s been a volatile few days for the buzziest IPO of the week.

A wave of mom-and-pop investors sent shares of small drone-software company Swarmer soaring after it went public on Tuesday. Then yesterday, shares started falling, and the declines accelerated in Friday’s trading session.

Swarmer priced its IPO at $5 a share. The stock climbed to close trading on Wednesday at $55. It recently traded at $39.25 a share, down 25% from yesterday’s close but still well above its $5 IPO price.
