Intro

Sara Eisen and Michael Santoli broke down the latest for stocks on a busy morning of earnings and Fed commentary – NY Fed President Williams saying there’s clear signs that short term inflation expectations are going higher… While Chicago Fed President Goolsbee calls it ‘transitory’. Trivariate’s Adam Parker joined the team to talk top picks (Healthcare) and sectors to avoid (Consumer Discretionary). Plus, why UBS thinks it’s time to buy the homebuilders despite a murky rate picture.
