Real Vision: Finance & Investing

DB-Nov 18,2021: Katie Stockton, founder, and managing partner at Fairlead Strategies joins to chat about her outlook for stocks as we head into the end of the year. The major indices remain in consolidation phases that she views as healthy pauses within their uptrends. Katie’s short-term indicators are mixed for a neutral takeaway, but she expects them to turn higher next week as the holiday season begins. Semiconductor stocks have been a source of upside leadership since bottoming in early October. Lumber futures have also made an explosive three-day move, narrowly avoiding a breakdown. Katie will also talk about gold and dollar breakouts. Interviewed by Maggie Lake. Want to submit questions?

DB-Nov 16,2021: Tony Greer returns to the Daily Briefing to discuss a spike in retail sales in October, even in the face of rising inflation. Not only are sales up 1.7% from the previous month, but also up 16.3% year-over-year. This is as a result of the combination of U.S. households having extra cash from the stimulus money and a frenzy to get holiday shopping started early this year to avoid supply chain issues choking the availability of gifts as industrial production continues to be riddled with volatility. Germany suspended certifying the controversial Russian pipeline, causing natural gas prices to shoot up from concerns of low fuel this winter in Europe. In the crypto world, Bitcoin and Ethereum fell sharply retreating from near-record highs. Want to submit questions?

DB-Nov 12,2021: The government has engaged in endless borrowing and endless wasting since World War II, and at some point, according to the latest issue of Macro Link, we’ll have to meet the consequences of that. Consumer spending is at the lowest level in a decade, according to The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, which dropped to 66.8% in November. Over 4.4 million workers have quit their jobs amid expectations of inflation to further skyrocket as a holiday season rife with supply chain issues approaches.

DB-Nov 10,2021: There’s no question about it: inflation is not transitory. The latest Consumer Price Index revealed prices of everything except food and energy went up 4.6%, the quickest spike since August 1991. The CPI also showed a 6.2% surge from October last year. U.S. consumers are feeling the hike in energy prices—oil is at nearly $82 a barrel, and electricity bills are at the highest they’ve been since 2009. Meanwhile, more automobile companies are joining the race to give Elon Musk a run for his money. The latest to enter the fray of Tesla rivals is the electric-vehicle startup Rivian, which debuted in trading today with the highest Initial Price Offer since 2014, starting at $78. The company’s valuation has already beaten Ford and General Motors. Jared Dillian, the editor of The Daily Dirtnap, joins Ash Bennington to discuss all of this and more. Want to submit questions?

DB-Nov09,2021:What’s going on with General Electric? After a decade of being only a shell of its former self, the manufacturing giant founded by Thomas Edison is splitting up into three separate companies, each focused on aviation, health care, and energy. Tony Greer discusses why U.S. stocks suspended the longest rally since 2017 amid surging treasuries and why the S&P 500 collapsed for the first time in nine sessions.

DB-Nov 08,2021:The House passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill on Friday to revamp the country’s transportation, utilities, and broadband structures. Meanwhile, despite Friday’s positive news of the October jobs report, U.S. treasury bonds still fell. This happened after the Fed’s announcement earlier last week to begin tapering bond purchases by $15 billion a month. On Twitter, Elon Musk shared a poll asking people to vote on whether he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock. Nearly 60% of those who participated in the poll voted yes, prompting Elon Musk to offload some stock to help pay his giant tax bill. Real Vision’s Petr Pinkhasov and Weston Nakamura host economist & trader Samuel Rines for a triple treat on today’s Daily Briefing to discuss the infrastructure bill, U.S. treasury bonds, and Tesla stock.
