The episode starts with: thoughts on another action-packed week on Wall Street, where U.S. stocks posted their first weekly decline in a month amid renewed trade tension between the U.S. and China (01:40-04:40).
Next up: the duo weighs in on the Federal Reserve’s rate cut announcement and whether the turmoil in last week’s money markets was a one-off event or the start of something more worrying (04:40-08:30).
Finally, they address volatility in crude oil markets last week, where prices enjoyed their greatest weekly gain in months after the recent attack on Saudi oil facilities knocked out more than half of the Kingdom’s output (08:30-12:45).
Turning attention to the week ahead, Jesse and Clement provide thoughts on how markets are likely to perform in the coming days and whether we’re setting up for more record highs or a pullback (12:45-15:40).
The two also focus on what to expect from this week’s busy slate of Federal Reserve speakers and economic data and how it can impact expectations for further easing in the coming months (15:40-20:20).
Finally, the pair touch on the upheaval in the streaming space, where stocks like Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) have both suffered steep declines this month. The question is: what names are likely to come out on top when the streaming wars are all set and done (20:20-23:50).
To close out the episode, each analyst provides their stock of the week: KB Home (NYSE:KBH) for Jesse (23:50-25:30) and Nike (NYSE:NKE) for Clement (25:30-27:00).
