  • Fed won't hit 2% target until 2026: Economist

    With somewhat cooling inflation and stagnant labor market growth, conversations about whether the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut timing persist. Interactive Brokers senior economist José Torres joins Market Domination to give insight into the labor market, the broader stock market, and the Fed's future policy decisions. "I think we're going to hit the Fed's 2% target somewhere in 2026. Fed Chair Powell was asked about it; he didn't think that we would hit it this year or next year. In fact, when we consider the disinflation that occurred last year in the second half, now those base effects become unfavorable into the second half of this year. So we're going to actually see core PCE start to tick higher. And if you look at the dots of summary of economic projections from the Fed, they're expecting core PCE to finish the year around 2.8," Torres tells Yahoo Finance.

  • How to rebalance your portfolio for the second half of 2024

    As Wall Street heads into the second half of the year, Mitlin Financial founder and author of "Financial Planning Made Personal" Lawrence Sprung joins Wealth! to discuss the markets' (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) momentum and how it should inform your investing decisions. While past performance does not determine future performance, Sprung notes that historically, when there has been a strong first half, the momentum continued for the rest of the year. He believes the election will be a catalyst as it typically enhances market returns in an already strong year. He also explains that a possible interest rate cut could be another catalyst that drives higher returns. He encourages investors to review their portfolios mid-year and rebalance if necessary. Financials have been performing well in a higher interest rate environment and could tumble once a rate cut is initiated. Meanwhile, the energy sector will be sensitive to geopolitical events, which Sprung explains, "We can't time, but we can try to anticipate."

  • Why Paramount is back at the negotiating table with Skydance

    Shares of Paramount Global (PARA, PARAA) are rallying on revived merger talks with Skydance. According to reports, Skydance has reached a preliminary agreement to buy Shari Redstone's National Amusements, the controlling shareholder of Paramount. If that deal goes through, Skydance would then begin the merger process with Paramount Global. Bloomberg Intelligence senior media analyst Geetha Ranganathan joins Morning Brief to discuss the news and what it means for the media giant's future. "With Skydance, what we've constantly seen is that they are proposing a deal which basically favors Shari Redstone, who is the controlling shareholder, favors her over everybody else. So it favors her over class A shareholders as well as class B shareholders. And that is something that has the potential for attracting a lot of lawsuits. And that is something that has made Shari Redstone extremely wary, and so it looks like this time around, there is much stronger indemnification language in the agreement that should or could potentially protect her from a lot of the upcoming litigation," Ranganathan explains. Paramount has faced a rocky 6 months in its attempts to merge with Skydance, and Ranganathan believes that this deal comes with unique pressure: "The one thing that we have to remember is that the longer and longer this whole process kind of drags out, the less and the less value that the assets will have. And I think Shari Redstone realizes that she's been publicly negotiating for six months. That's something that's highly unusual in the media landscape, in any M&A deal for that matter, so for her to come that far and then just drop everything again, it created huge overhang on the stock. And I think she's realized that, which is why she's back at the negotiating table." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Morning Brief.
