About this episode

Danny Moses joins Guy Adami to discuss market resilience amidst various economic pressures and the implications of Federal Reserve leadership changes.

Join the WAWD Substack: https://whatarewedoingonthedesk.substack.com/ Guy Adami and Danny Moses open with a brief New York Giants aside before turning to markets, focusing on Jerome Powell’s final Fed press conference as Chair, his plan to remain a governor, and expectations that Kevin Warsh will become Fed Chair as the administration seeks more influence over the Board. They discuss how markets have stayed resilient despite $100 oil, rising global yields, a weakening yen with Japan intervention near 160, geopolitical stress, and a subdued VIX, attributing much of the strength to passive flows and forced institutional chasing. Moses flags inflation beginning to filter through via price hikes and warns the consumer may eventually feel higher energy costs. They debate energy stocks’ durability even if crude eases, remain constructive on gold amid fiscal/geopolitical risks, note elevated valuation signals like the Buffett indicator, and address concerns about “fantasy math” in AI, citing OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar’s tempered adoption comments and cautioning retail on private-market secondaries. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter…
