Jason Moser: Big retail's taking a closer look at stablecoins. You're listening to Motley Fool Money. Welcome to Motley Fool Money. I'm Jason Moser. Joining me today, it's senior analyst Mr. Matt Argersinger. Matt, thanks for being here.

Matthew Argersinger: You bet, Jason. Always glad to be with you.

Jason Moser: On today's show, we're talking Amazon and Walmart's potential stablecoin aspirations. Roku and Amazon are teaming up in the ad market. We'll also take a look at a couple of Matt's favorite dividend stocks. But before we dive in, let's take a look at a few of the headlines driving the market today. After a tough Friday, markets are up today as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues. Now, according to Middle Eastern and European officials, Iran is signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and wants to resume talks over its nuclear programs. Oil prices recently spiked because of the conflict, with WTI crude price up 11% over the last week. However, prices are down today on the news that Iran does seek to end hostilities. Let's hope that's the case. Finally, it's Fed Week. The Federal Reserve Interest rate decision is out on Wednesday at 2:00PM, with Chairman Powell's press conference to follow at 2:30.
