Latest Fed Minutes, Iran Ceasefire Uncertainty, & Kospi Enters Bear Market 7/8/26
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of the latest Fed Minutes and geopolitical tensions on the stock market, particularly focusing on the Kospi index's performance amid a global chip sell-off.
The Dow Jones moved sharply lower on Wednesday after President Trump told the NATO summit that the ceasefire with Iran is “over” amid renewed hostilities in the Middle East. The Fed Minutes from June’s meeting dropped at the top of the hour, and Brian Sullivan broke down the commentary with Steve Liesman, Rick Santelli, and Jefferies’ David Zervos. Miller Tabak’s Matt Maley also joins the show to give his take on the South Korean Kospi index’s year-to-date outperformance and recent plunge amid the global chip sell-off.
