What to look for in Warsh nomination hearings as US-Iran talks also in focus.

About this episode

The episode discusses the pause in US equity indices, upcoming earnings, and the significance of US-Iran talks alongside the Fed Chair nomination hearings for Kevin Warsh.

Today, as the headline US equity indices finally paused for breath after their recent steep run-up, a run-down of incoming earnings today and tomorrow and single stock stories of note. Also, a reminder that the next 24 hours or so are critical for the degree to which headline risk is set to pick up from the Middle East as the US and Iran are meant to meet in Islamabad. Also, a look at macro and FX moves and what to look for in the Fed Chair nomination hearings for Kevin Warsh today.
