In this week's episode of WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos discuss market speculation, from the recent sputtering in the gold rally to what to expect from this week's Federal Reserve meeting. Next, Apple is reporting earnings this week, but the company saw a bump after a research report was released saying the company saw strong sales with its latest iPhone.
Later, Robinhood has come a long way since the meme stock mania, entering the S&P 500 company earlier this year and knocking on the door of being the largest publicly traded brokerage company. Christian Bolu, a senior analyst at Autonomous Research, joins Telis to dig into how Robinhood has transformed, how it stacks up to its competitors, such as Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, Polymarket and even sports betting company FanDuel, and how much more runway the platform has to grow.
This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
