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. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks with Deutsche Bank chief US economist Matthew Luzzetti about the future of monetary policy. The direction of policy in 2025 will be key to sustaining the rally markets have enjoyed, many pros say.

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. Jammet reveals his plans for Sweetgreen, and how a move to put robots in restaurants could unlock major growth for the company.

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.

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. He also details areas of potential opportunity in the face of numerous fiscal and monetary challenges.

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.

Willard Marriott, Marriott has grown into a global hotel colossus sporting 36 different brands, more than 9,000 locations globally and about 1.6 million rooms. Despite competition from newcomers in lodging such as AirBNB, Marriott continues to open new locations at rapid clip and innovate on the digital front. Sitting on that aforementioned board of directors from the Marriott family: the daughter of chairman emeritus J.W. Marriott, Jr. Deborah Marriott Harrison; J.W. Marriott, Jr. and new chairman, the son of J.W. Marriott, David Marriott. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks at length with Marriott chairman David Marriott.

Musk is full steam ahead, outlining a significant ramp in production for 2025 and eyeing the start of a ride-hailing platform. What’s more, Tesla continues to rake in big bucks from full-self driving technology and expects humanoid robots to be a large contributor to the business in the not too distant future.

Nvidia’s stock is once again having a monster run, up about 13% in October alone. The advance has taken the year to date appreciation for the market darling to an astounding 180%. Underneath the surface, excitement continues to build on Wall Street about Nvidia’s new AI chip dubbed Blackwell. Sector analysts are chattering about a big positive fourth quarter surprise amid the initial rush of Blackwell demand. The chorus is growing that the fourth quarter will be the start of another impressive twelve month period for Nvidia as Blackwell production ramps. With new large language models being developed at a rapid clip, the bullishness on Nvidia makes a lot of sense. One of the more upbeat analysts on the Street is Bank of America’s Vivek Arya. Fresh off a notable price target hike on the stock, Arya joins Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi to break down his analysis.

The economy has been behaving rather interestingly ahead of the November presidential election. On the one hand, the jobs market continues to moderate. Yet, major companies have begun to announce fresh layoffs – blaming AI in some cases. Despite inflation cooling, gold prices have soared. The Federal Reserve has kicked off what’s likely to be a prolonged period of interest rate cuts. While that has been well-received by investors, there are pros warning the Fed’s actions are signaling a sharp economic slowdown in 2025. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks with economist and one-time nominee by former President Trump to join the Federal Reserve board in 2020, Judy Shelton. Shelton thinks the Fed has backed itself into a corner by beginning to cut interest rates. At the same time, Shelton shares her concerns about the economy after the election and her outlook for gold prices.

The spirits industry has seen tremendous growth over the past decade as consumers seek out new flavors. Many of these same consumers have been open as well to spending ever higher sums of money for more premium spirits – all part of participating in the shift toward partaking in experiences rather than buying stuff. The industry has also seen a great deal of consolidation. In a special Opening Bid, Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi descends to the New York City headquarters of Japanese spirits juggernaut Suntory Holdings. Sozzi meets up with Suntory Holdings CEO Tak Niinami, who has been at the helm of the maker of Hibiki and Yamazaki whiskey since 2014. Niinami shares his perspective into Gen Z, saying they are more "health conscious" and like to deal with companies that have a social awareness. He continues acknowledging the differences between his generation and Gen Z as it pertains to alcohol consumption and will focus on making adjustments to the business model accordingly. Niinami also talks about his leadership lessons honed during a decade of leading Suntory Holdings, and what the company’s next decade may look like.

The packaged industry has a few problems at its doorsteps entering 2025. For starters, the industry continues to be under fire from lawmakers like Senator Elizabeth Warren for shrinking package sizes in a bid to boost profits. Secondarily, stubborn inflation continues to weigh on profit margins. Many households are struggling from paycheck to paycheck, causing them to forego buying some snacks and frozen meals. And last but not least, the rise of weight loss drugs in the mold of Ozempic is taking a toll on outlooks for food businesses – and investor sentiment. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi chats with BofA Securities Senior Food & Beverage Analyst Peter Galbo. The veteran analyst has long covered the packaged food industry, including household names such as Hormel and Campbell Soup. With margins under pressure and big food getting raked over the coals this election season, are there any reasons for investors to own these stocks? If so, what is the best bet on the future of packaged food?

The wealth management industry could look vastly different a decade from now than it does today. For one, there continues to be consolidation in the industry as the largest players in the field seek out more investable assets and bigger client pipelines. Second, the coming wealth transfer between baby boomers and their children will likely lead to more services by wealth managers to help manage the transition. After all, millennials will suddenly be tasked with putting potentially large sums of money to work to be passed down to their children. And lastly, artificial intelligence (AI) stands to permeate the industry as a low cost way to manage assets.

Investors are pushing aside the looming presidential election as a key risk to rip-roaring stock prices, and are beginning to focus on the here and now. And on that score, things are beginning to appear a little dicey. Middle East tensions are on a steep climb, putting upward pressure on oil prices among other commodities. That has some on the Street voicing concern about the prospect for renewed inflation. Recall, it has been a steady deceleration in inflation in recent months that allowed the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates by 50 basis points in September. Stocks have subsequently climbed as traders price in a steady dose of policy easing. But if inflation kicks back into gear, hopes more rate cuts could be dashed alongside the broader markets. StoneX chief market strategist Kathryn Rooney Vera reveals her top strategies for dealing with rising risks to the rally. Is it time to rotate into cash? Rooney Vera chats about that and more on Opening Bid with Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi.

It happened with Starbucks (SBUX) it happened with Boeing (BA), it happened with Nike (NKE), and now it’s happening with OpenAI. Executive management turnover seems to be the recent corporate trend, and it’s causing concern for leaders, analysts, and investors alike
In this week’s episode of Opening Bid, Market Domination anchor Julie Hyman sits down with Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer of Management Practice at the Yale School of Management and author of “Picking Presidents” to discuss executive management changes and corporate leadership within corporations, focusing in on OpenAI and rising concerns for the tech giant.
Hyman also touches upon Mukunda’s recent article for Forbes in which he breaks down a recent psychological study where researchers who focus on psychopathy and management determined CEOs have elevated levels of psychopathic traits. Mukukda elaborates on this, explaining the concept of ‘fearless dominance,’ and how CEOs are fearless, take risks, and never rattle under pressure.
