Show from 07/11/25
Host Jeremy Schwartz and Professor Siegel discuss the recent tariff headlines and market reactions. Professor Siegel highlights that tariffs and guidance for Q3 are currently driving the markets, but he remains skeptical that new tariffs will significantly impact economic growth. (11:41) Jeremy then talks with Sam Rines, Chris Gannatti, and Jeff Weniger about the broader implications of tariff escalation, the surprising resilience of consumer spending, and the ongoing tech dominance, especially around AI, Apple, Nvidia, and Alphabet. The group also covers geopolitical strategies in investing and the rationale behind redefining emerging markets, particularly with a focus on India and excluding China, Korea, and Taiwan.
