The Federal Reserve arguably has never been under a greater microscope than right now, excluding of course the Great Financial Crisis period. Fed chief Jerome Powell is likely to face fresh pressure from returning president Donald Trump. Powell has been steadfast in saying he will not let Trump push him around and will not resign if asked. Meanwhile, markets have rallied hard in recent months on expectations for further interest rate cuts from the Fed. Not delivering those cuts could have ramifications for investors worldwide.

Most in the fast food industry have had a challenging 2024. Many players such as McDonald’s have jacked up prices to compensate for higher worker wages, especially in California. That has sent consumers back to preparing their food at home in a bid to save money. Meantime, ingredient inflation has remained stubborn. Then there is Sweetgreen, which has notched several quarters of solid sales as its higher income diner embraces new menu items. The company has also stayed aggressive in opening new locations, while beginning to add robot food making machines to certain sites. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks with Sweetgreen co-founder and chief concept officer Nicolas Jammet. Sweetgreen has returned to stock market darling status after falling out of favor post a sizzling 2021 IPO.

The tech stock landscape may look quite different over the next four years of returning President Donald Trump. For one, AI regulation of some form will likely have to come from the Trump administration as the fast-moving technology was not clamped down on by the Biden administration. Is that regulation soft or anti-AI innovation? That’s one of the key questions investors will aim to figure out. At the same time, questions will swirl on if a Trump administration plans to move forward with a breakup of Google and possibly, others in big-cap tech. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks with EMJ Capital founder Eric Jackson. The pair dive into the outlook for market darling Nvidia and AI more broadly in the wake of Donald Trump’s historic White House Win. Trump’s win will also likely have ramifications for the big tech companies such as Microsoft and Tesla that dominate the popular Magnificent 7 complex. Is there one big name in tech that investors should own over another? Nvidia is also entering the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which may add further gains to the stock Jackson hints.Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid, brings you a high-octane take on the freshest analyst calls, wildest stock moves and shrewdest commentary in the business world.

Election Day is almost here. And with that will come an end to one of the most divisive runs for the presidency in American history. Investors will be able to move on, hopefully putting more stock in a company's fundamentals than a Donald Trump post on Truth Social or an Elon Musk post on X, formerly Twitter. Moving on from the election will bring with it a host of inevitable risks and rewards for investors. Finding the rewards rather than the risks will be no easy achievement even for the most seasoned investor. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks at length with veteran investor, author, and founder of The Bear Traps Report Lawrence McDonald. McDonald – who is the author of the new book How to Listen When Markets Speak – outlines his biggest concerns about markets following the election.

Brooks Running may not be nearly as large as Nike or New Balance, but that doesn’t mean its impact on the sneaker industry isn’t still strong. The company – founded in the early 1900s to sell ballet slippers and bathing shoes – continues to be the top sneaker choice for serious runners. To maintain its pole position in running, Brooks has released a host of new innovations such as the Glycerin Max Road Shoe for a pricey $200. But fending off upstarts in running such as On and to a lesser extent, Decker’s outdoor owned Hoka won’t be easy. A resurgence at struggling Nike under new CEO Elliott Hill may also pose a risk. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down with new Brooks Running CEO Dan Sheridan inside the Nasdaq Marketsite in Times Square ahead of the New York City Marathon. Sheridan reveals his vision for Brooks Running a few months into the top job and what Nike’s many stumbles have meant to the company’s growth. The long-time Brooks executive also shares what it’s like to be owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid, brings you a high-octane take on the freshest analyst calls, wildest stock moves and shrewdest commentary in the business world.
