  • Why Fed policy does not matter for markets

    As markets continue to anticipate potential Federal Reserve rate cuts, Nancy Tengler, CEO and CIO of Laffer Tengler Investments, joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss why she believes Federal Reserve policy has become less influential in current market dynamics. Tengler argues that a Fed rate cut this year would likely have "no major movement" on markets. She critiques the Fed's data-dependent approach, suggesting they "waited too long" and "flip-flopped" on too many issues, diminishing the central bank's impact. "I think they are itching to cut [rates]," Tengler tells Yahoo Finance. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination Overtime.

  • Market correction needed to clear out 'rubble': Nancy Tengler

    As markets cool following the Nvidia-ld (NVDA) tech rally, CEO and CIO of Laffer Tengler Investments Nancy Tengler joins Market Domination Overtime to offer insights on current market and economic conditions. Tengler is hopeful for a market correction, stating it would "clear out all the rubble" and ultimately benefit markets. She views such corrections as opportunities for long-term investors to find favorable entry points. Drawing parallels to the 1990s, Tengler suggests, "We're not at the 1999 end of the decade; we're in the middle of the decade." Tengler downplays the importance of Federal Reserve policy, noting that even if rates are cut once this year, it's unlikely to impact market dynamics significantly. She cautions against letting mixed Fed communications drive portfolio decisions. For investment strategy, Tengler recommends focusing on "old economy companies" with "long-term secular tailwinds." She cites Walmart (WMT) as an example, highlighting its integration of AI into its legacy business model. "These are companies that have pivoted, and those are the ones we want to own," she advises. However, Tengler expresses concern about the state of the consumer, particularly noting that low- to mid-income consumers "are getting squeezed" in the current economic environment.

  • Cybersecurity fundamentals improving 'by the day': Strategist

    Nvidia (NVDA) is trading lower on Friday after experiencing a run the previous week. Some on Wall Street have begun to question whether the stock can continue its historic rally. Meanwhile, Microsoft (MSFT) has reclaimed its title as the most valuable US company in market capitalization. Spear Invest Founder and CIO Ivana Delevska joins Market Domination Overtime to give insight into the performance of the Big Tech stocks and explain what investors should consider for their portfolios. "We think that mega-caps drove the first leg of this upturn this year. And as we get into the second half, we think the upturn will broaden to mid-cap stocks. So that's where we are really looking most for opportunities. We still like Nvidia. We still see a lot of upside, but we don't think it's going to be as outsized of a performer compared to the rest of our portfolio," Delevska explains. She adds that cybersecurity is a "particularly exciting" sector because the fundamentals are improving "by the day." Demand is high given the volume of cyber attacks affecting large companies on a daily basis, Delevska notes.

  • COVID 'revenge travel' is still affecting gas demand: Analyst

    While oil prices (BZ=F, CL=F) have risen during the last week, gas prices (RB=F) have remained relatively steady despite the summer travel season picking up. Patrick De Haan, GasBuddy head of petroleum analysis, joins Market Domination to give insight into oil and gas prices and Biden's potential leverage over gas prices.  "According to our GasBuddy demand data, we've seen real demand at the pump essentially be under 9 million barrels a day. And compared to back in 2019 and 2018, that's very soft. Traditionally, we'd see numbers somewhere more in the mid to upper 9 million barrel-a-day range. So I think demand is still soft and I think to your point, Covid is still playing a role. We saw a lot of revenge travel in 2022. That's when international travel really wasn't possible. Last year we saw gasoline prices lower. I think we still saw revenge travel domestically last year. I think this year we're still seeing some of that revenge travel," De Haan tells Yahoo Finance.

  • How Evercore ISI set its Street-high S&P target: Julian Emanuel

    Recently, Evercore ISI raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 (^GSPC) to 6,000, the highest target on Wall Street. Julian Emanuel, Evercore ISI Senior managing director of equity, derivatives and quantitative strategy, joins Market Domination to provide a rationale for the Street-high target. "What we're looking for is sort of the tail ends of the distribution of things, of reasons that stock prices can come down. On the one hand, there's what you would call the bubble watch. We don't see any incipient signs of a bubble forming. No IPO or M&A mania. Sentiment by all the readings continues to be reasonably subdued. There aren't any egregious policy errors, and the Fed isn't saying we're going to cut no matter what. They're being prudent about their approach," Emanuel tells Yahoo Finance. Emanuel notes that a recession would destroy a bull market, but sees no "red flag signs" in the jobless claims numbers.  For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.
