  • Jobs data sent rate hike concerns 'out the window': Yardeni

    The April jobs report came in weaker-than-expected, with the US economy adding only 175,000 jobs during the month. Joining Market Domination to dissect the implications of this data is Yardeni Research President Ed Yardeni, who deemed the report "a decent report." Alongside the employment figures, Yardeni highlights the ISM Services PMI as a notable data point that "caught the market's attention." He says that the overall report has effectively taken the possibility of a rate hike in 2024 "out the window," as markets now anticipate the potential for a rate cut to materialize once again between "now and the end of the year." Yardeni remains optimistic about the Federal Reserve's ability to achieve its 2% inflation target by the end of 2024, stating, "I think Powell has been dead on right," about inflation. As far as broader inflation is concerned, Yardeni tells Yahoo Finance: "The overall inflation rate remains on a moderating trend when you look at it year over year."

  • Fed's 'patient' inflation approach is paying off: Economist

    The April jobs report was softer than what experts were expecting with the US economy adding 175,000 new jobs during the month, accompanied by a modest 3.9% growth in wages. Joining Market Domination to discuss this report is T. Rowe Price Chief US Economist Blerina Uruci. Uruci acknowledges that the jobs report represented "a big miss relative to expectations." However, she notes that investors are interpreting it as "a soft report" due to the "big upside surprises" witnessed in the first quarter, labor prints now cooling after significant labor market gains in the past few months. Uruci says this jobs report shows the Federal Reserve that "this patient approach" on inflation is "paying off." However, Uruci highlights two areas of concern: the concentration of job growth primarily in the healthcare and education sectors, and "the gradual increase" in the US unemployment rate. Additionally, Uruci addresses the ongoing wage growth pressures, stating "we're moving in the right direction" and characterizing the slowing growth as "particularly encouraging."

  • Fed's messaging unleashed significant tailwinds: Apollo's Sløk

    Federal Reserve officials are holding interest rates higher for yet another month as Fed Chair Jerome Powell is prioritizing easing inflation data over possible rate cuts. Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Sløk — who was one of the earliest on Wall Street to believe the Fed wasn't going to cut rates at all this year — joins Market Domination to discuss what the Fed's latest monetary policy is signaling about the rate environment. "I don't think this was their intention, I think that they just looked very innocently at the dual mandate that they had been given by Congress — inflation should be 2%, we should have full employment — and they said... maybe we don't need to have interest rates so high anymore," Sløk says about the Fed's messaging. "What they didn't recognize, and maybe only realized later, was that when you, after several years of having said interest rates are going up, up, up, you did not have many IPOs, you did not have much M&A activity. So as a result of that, that has now been unleashed and that is, as we speak, creating much more activity in capital markets, much more consumer spending... because we now have a significant tailwind because of that signal change." Sløk goes on to estimate the chances of a rate cut to occur this year and how these economic uncertainties are manifesting in equity markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC), even small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 (^RUT).

  • Fed policy 'restrictive,' but markets are 'buoyant': Fmr. Fed Pres.

    The market has begun to price in the comments made by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after the Fed concluded its two-day meeting on Wednesday with a decision to keep rates steady. The debate about when or if the Fed needs to raise or lower rates to reach its target inflation goal continues. Former Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren joins Market Domination Overtime to give insight into the Federal Reserve, its recent higher-for-longer decision, and its future policy maneuvers. "I think [Powell] is being very careful in what he's saying at the press conferences now. He's right that monetary policy is pretty restrictive at this point. When you have an interest rate in the mid fives, and inflation rate that's using the core PCE at 2.8%, historically that's a pretty high real rate, which indicates that the Fed is being pretty restrictive on short term interest rates, which is what it controls," Rosengren tells Yahoo Finance: For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination Overtime.

  • Why the denim comeback is bad news for LuluLemon: Analyst

    Wide-leg and denim styles are making a comeback in the fashion world. However, as the trend returns, questions arise about its implications for athleisure companies like Lululemon (LULU). Barclays' Consumer Discretionary Analyst Adrienne Yih joins Market Domination to discuss the potential impact of this fashion shift. Yih notes that denim is experiencing a resurgence after nearly 17 years — with jeggings, skinny jeans, and athleisure dominating recent trends. She suggests that the economy is in the "early adoption to mass adoption" phase of wide-leg denim, signaling a shift in consumer preferences. While athleisure companies like Lululemon offer wider-leg options for comfort, Yih emphasizes that "the actual trend is grounded in denim." Consequently, she believes consumers will spend more on brands specializing in denim offerings, such as American Eagle (AEO).

  • Leveraging AI successfully: Pinterest vs. Upstart

    Headline Venture Partner Kamran Ansari joins Market Domination for "Good Buy or Goodbye" to examine how using artificial intelligence can either make or break a stock. Ansari points to Pinterest (PINS) as a "good buy," as the social media site is building more tools for its users to discover new products and purchase them through partnerships with retail giants Amazon and Google. On the other hand, Ansari says "goodbye" to Upstart (UPST). He stresses that having artificial intelligence as a part of the financial technolog company's narrative is no longer a unique quality. Consumer lending also faces regulatory issues, where companies must ensure their AI models do not shift in prejudicial directions.
