In today’s edition: Kamala’s new book, the tariff deluge, and a record for the Global 500.

– Record-setting. Fortune‘s Global 500, a ranking of the world’s largest companies, was published earlier this week. And it broke a record—women are running more Global 500 companies than ever before.

Of the 500 companies on the list, 33 have female CEOs this year. That’s up from 28 last year—but 33 is still only 6.6%. It’s far behind the Fortune 500, the ranking of America’s largest businesses, where women this year ran 55 businesses, or 11% of the companies on the list.
