  • Trump picks Vance as VP, Dow hits new closing high: Market Domination Overtime

    On today's episode of Market Domination Overtime, Hosts Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton break down the market close and some of the biggest stories of the trading day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI)close at a record high in Monday's session, closing 0.53% higher. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) ended the day in the green, slightly below their record closes. The S&P 500 hit an all-time high intraday. Former President Donald Trump has announced Senator JD Vance (R-Oh.) as his vice presidential pick just days after surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Unlimited co-founder, CEO, and CIO Bob Elliott notes that following the assassination attempt, the odds of Trump winning the election have increased. He explains, "What we're seeing is actually gold (GC=F) as one of the best-performing assets in the market, reflective of the fact that we're likely to get large deficits ahead as the Republicans have a higher probability of controlling all three chambers of the US government. We're seeing bonds sell off as a function of growth likely being stronger and having those larger deficits and higher inflation." Meanwhile, Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) is in talks to acquire cyber security startup Wiz for $23 billion, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Jefferies senior analyst Brent Thill is excited by the deal, stating: "I think this makes a lot more sense given that they [Wiz] can address both small, mid, and large enterprises with this technology. That the government — there's zero chance, in my opinion, they could push back on this because it's enabling the security and safety of data, and no one has dominant market share, so it makes a lot of sense for us... I'd be a lot more excited as a shareholder if this was happening." Finally, Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton break down what to watch on Tuesday, July 15, from major bank earnings to the kickoff Amazon's (AMZN) Prime Day. This post was written by Melanie Riehl

  • Why shareholders should be excited by Alphabet-Wiz deal: Analyst

    Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) is in talks to acquire cyber security startup Wiz for $23 billion, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Jefferies senior analyst Brent Thill joins Market Domination Overtime to give insight into the movements in big tech, the cloud space, and why he believes this merger will be a successful one for Alphabet. Thill is excited by this deal, stating: "I think this makes a lot more sense given that they [Wiz] can address both small, mid, and large enterprises with this technology. That the government--there's zero chance, in my opinion, they could push back on this because it's enabling the security and safety of data, and no one has dominant market share, so it makes a lot of sense for us. So, again, we've heard a lot of chatter, and M&A by Google. None of it's happened, clearly, the HubSpot deal, at least in the interim, fell apart. But this deal, in my opinion, makes a lot more sense. I'd be a lot more excited as a shareholder if this was happening.

  • What happens if Republicans win the majority in 2024?

    Former President Donald Trump has announced Senator JD Vance (R-Oh.) as his vice presidential pick just days after surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Unlimited co-founder, CEO, and CIO Bob Elliott joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss how the market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) is reacting to the news. Elliott notes that following the assassination attempt, the odds of Trump winning the election have increased. "What we're seeing is actually gold (GC=F) as one of the best-performing assets in the market, reflective of the fact that we're likely to get large deficits ahead as the Republicans have a higher probability of controlling all three chambers of the US government. We're seeing bonds sell off as a function of growth likely being stronger and having those larger deficits and higher inflation. "And we're seeing some stock rally, but not that much stock rally in the market, reflecting the fact that it's going to be challenging to keep up this level of growth with those levels of deficits and upward pressure on interest rates." Elliott adds that if Republicans obtain control over Congress, a less divided government would create some uncertainty. As Republicans would have an easier time passing legislation with the majority, Elliott would expect "even more deficit spending and particularly corporate beneficial deficit spending." However, he notes that the lack of movement in the stock market currently "is a reflection of that balance of increased uncertainty [and] more favorable policy."

  • Goldman Sachs earnings prove bank still very cyclical

    Among the Big Bank stocks, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), Citigroup (C), Goldman Sachs (GS), and BlackRock (BLK) have been the first to report second-quarter results this earnings season. Portales Partners founder and Wall Street Beats partner Charlie Peabody comes on Market Domination to talk about the prevalent themes emerging in bank earnings, such as net interest income figures "Short term, there's momentum in the capital markets. And so Goldman is a good momentum play, but we argue that their earnings stream remains much more cyclical than the market is valuing them at," Peabody states. "And that's the big debate out there in management as they moved away from their failed consumer banking strategy back to their roots as an investment bank, have been trying to convince the street that there is a core underlying earnings power that's sustainable and stable. And I don't believe them." Peabody also looks ahead to the bank earnings due out this week, such as Morgan Stanley (MS): "I think it's going to be more of the same — strong, investment banking with an eye towards a pick up in M&A and IPOs in the second half of the year. And then trading will be driven more by equity trading and less so by fixed income trading."

  • 4 reasons hardware will drive big tech earnings: Fund manager

    Last week, big tech saw a bit of a rotation as some names -- like Nvidia (NVDA) -- began to slip from all-time highs. T. Rowe Price Global Technology Fund manager Dominic Rizzo joins Market Domination to discuss how investors can play big tech as some on Wall Street pull back from the sector. "I think hardware is looking strong heading into heading into the prints. We've seen four data points that have been quite positive for the hardware ecosystem. First off, the printed circuit board space, the PCB companies, many of them have pre-announced positively in Asia. And I think that's a great sign for smartphones, PCs, traditional servers, and AI servers. Second, Corning (GLW) had very strong numbers. You look at their optical business. That's what drove the growth and what's driving that is really adoption of AI." says Rizzo. For the other two reasons, Rizzo says there was buzz about the space at a big industry trade show, SEMICON West and what investors heard from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSM) June sales results. Watch the video above to hear what stocks Rizzo currently likes.  For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.

  • AI boom fading? Why IT spending data may not be add up

    The buzz around AI has been palpable on Wall Street with much focus on its performance as tech giants like Nvidia (NVDA) led a rally with massive gains. Although much excitement for the sector still exists, there are are some who are skeptical of its performance. A note from Guggenheim securities detailed data that showed data from tech researcher ETR that shows July IT budget growth expectations are about the same as last year’s. Guggenheim senior research analyst John DiFucci joins Market Domination to discuss his note on the state of IT spending and how it affects the AI sector. DiFucci comments on his report, speaking over the narrative of AI: "There's been some conjecture out there that AI is the reason why IT spending isn't as robust as people would hope it would be, I don't think that's the case at all. There is spending on AI." DiFucci says that though he believes AI will change the world, "that doesn't mean that all tech companies are going to be able to monetize that. It doesn't mean they're going to be able to charge for it. They're going to improve their products with AI technologies and we're going to benefit. We are, all of us, the users, but are they going to be able to charge more for it beyond the uplift they get every year on renewal? I know a lot of them probably won't."

  • Trump's VP pick shows he's 'abandoned' efforts to unify

    Former President Donald Trump has named Ohio Senator JD Vance (R-Oh.) as his running mate in the 2024 presidential election. Trump was officially named the Republican Party's presidential nominee at the first day of the Republican National Convention (RNC). Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy lecturer and “Picking Presidents” author Gautam Mukunda joins Market Domination to discuss the move and how the assassination attempt against Trump may impact the outcome of the election. "Essentially, this pick signals that Trump has abandoned whatever attempts he might have been making after the assassination attempt to try and be a unifying figure... It is impossible to imagine a less unifying figure than JD Vance," Mukunda says. He notes that there may be two strategies behind Trump's pick for JD Vance. The first may be that the former president is so confident in winning that it doesn't matter who his vice president is. The second strategy may be based on who "has been the most sycophantic towards him, and I stand in awe of JD Vance's skills in that department," he explains. "You cannot imagine a sharper contrast with the Democratic ticket" in the Trump-Vance campaign, Mukunda states, especially given their stances on abortion and women's rights. The campaign has been getting attention from high-profile individuals, like Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and billionaire Peter Thiel, who is closely tied to Vance. Mukunda stresses how the "Republican Party is the party of financial and corporate elite, and it has been since the day it was founded." However, unlike previous presidential races, this one is unique because there were no Fortune 100 CEOs who endorsed Trump before Elon Musk's recent support.

  • Stay invested in the market regardless of politics: Strategist

    As the 2024 election season heats up with this week's Republican National Convention, many on Wall Street debate how the build-up to and ultimate outcome of the election will impact markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC). LPL Financial chief equity strategist Jeff Buchbinder joins Market Domination to share how best investors should be taking in all the political whirlwinds, including the attempted assassination attempt on former President Trump this past weekend which pushed markets higher, in order to make wise investments. "Even though we have thought for a while that stocks are a little bit expensive, we have remained fully invested. That's been our recommendation, we're neutral on equities... the numbers here are very compelling, in terms of staying invested," Buchbinder tells Yahoo Finance. "So certainly there were some Democrats that missed out on gains during the Trump presidency before. There's certainly, the opposite as well. So, yeah, staying invested, the stock market goes up something like 78% of the time. Staying invested over the long haul makes a lot of sense. It's very unlikely that you're going to get declines over any meaningful period of time."

  • Why the market isn't moved by the election right now: Strategist

    Hennion & Walsh CIO Kevin Mahn joins Market Domination to give insight into why markets have yet to truly price in the election season. "I believe the market is more focused right now on when that first interest rate cut is going to take hold. And if, in fact, this economic slowdown is going to dip into a recessionary territory. If markets are actually pricing in what's happened historically, remember that political parties have an impact on certain areas of the market, but generally not the market as a whole. In fact, history tells us that a divided government generally bodes best for stock market performance. That's because no major new rules or legislation or regulations get passed," Mahn says.
