Morning Routines and Market Insights

The Friday night deadline is looming for Congress to avoid a government shutdown after President-elect Trump, with the help of Elon Musk, sunk a compromise government funding bill. Representative Pete Sessions (R-Texas), DOGE Caucus Co-Chair, discusses where the negotiations stand and says he wants a “clean” continuing resolution without extraneous items. Next, Yale School of Management’s Jeffrey Sonnenfeld shares CEO sentiment on tariffs and RFK Jr., based on a Yale survey of 200 top executives. Sonnenfeld weighs in on leaders like Jeff Bezos visiting Mar-a-Lago ahead of the inauguration. Plus, markets sunk on the Fed’s 25 basis point rate cut and its signals for 2025.
