One of the hottest assets in the market since the presidential election, surprisingly, isn’t AI chip darling Nvidia (NVDA). On the contrary, it’s bitcoin (BTC-USD) and the wider crypto market as optimism on the space is at record highs ahead of the new Trump administration. SEC chair Gary Gensler exiting stage left soon has also lifted sentiment. Bitcoin is hovering around record highs, sending shares of crypto plays MicroStrategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN), and Robinhood (HOOD) to new heights. But can the excitement be sustained? Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi goes inside the red-hot world of crypto with Benchmark senior analyst Mark Palmer. Palmer has been covering the rise of crypto for well over a decade, and says the outlook has never been brighter. The optimism stems from potential policies under the incoming Trump administration and the general appetite by retail and institutional investors to get involved in the space.

The holiday shopping season is upon US consumers. While many experts are forecasting a solid shopping season for retailers amid record high stock prices and ongoing job market gains, there are several wildcards. Consumers continue to battle inflation for food, causing pullbacks in demand for discretionary categories such apparel and home goods. Prices on apparel are still high, too. This as President-elect Trump eyes potential tariffs, which could negatively impact some of the world’s largest apparel purveyors. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi speaks with Alex Mill Chairman Mickey Drexler. The former long-time CEO of Gap and J Crew not only shares many of his legendary retail stories, but reveals some of his biggest concerns on the impact of potential Trump tariffs on the apparel industry he has been part of for decades. Drexler adds the retail industry is awash in discounts, while at the same time consumers have luxury fatigue. He also shares how he is growing his business with his son Alex Drexler.

The US housing market has been enduring its fair share of challenges since the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher interest rates and home prices have pushed many people out of home ownership. However, with the Federal Reserve having cut interest rates in recent months, the housing affordability crisis in the country appears to be loosening up a little. New home sales results have been solid despite the lack of inventory. Can the positive momentum persist if the Fed takes a break with its rate cuts?
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with the Property Brothers & Scott Brothers Global Co-Founders Jonathan and Drew Scott. The group discusses the brothers’ new show "Don’t Hate Your House," the biggest challenges that exist in today’s housing market and what 2025 may hold.

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.
