“I think the market is going to be mostly bullish. However, it’s not going to be a perfect straight line.” – 02:06
Gabriela Berrospi, CEO & Founder of Latino Wall Street, joins Remy Blaire at the New York Stock Exchange to discuss the current state of the labor market and its implications for the economy.
The pair begin by discussing the recent comments from Fed Chair Jay Powell, who expressed increased caution regarding the labor market. Powell noted that while the labor market was previously in solid condition, recent revisions to job creation numbers have shifted the outlook. He indicated that the risks are now more balanced between inflation and economic growth, suggesting a move towards a neutral monetary policy. This led to the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates for the first time in nine months, a move that was largely influenced by weak labor market data.
Gabby analyzes the market’s reaction to this news. Initially, the announcement of the rate cut was met with enthusiasm, pushing markets higher. However, as Powell elaborated on the economic challenges, including inflation and tariffs, the mood shifted. Gabby highlights the ongoing innovation in the tech sector, particularly with companies like NVIDIA and Intel, which are driving market optimism. She anticipates a bullish trend in the market, albeit with expected volatility as investors look to secure gains.
The pair also discuss the recent partnership between NVIDIA and Intel, which has garnered attention following Trump’s trip to the UK. Gabby points out the U.S. government’s stake in Intel and suggests that this collaboration may have been part of a larger strategic plan. The implications of this partnership are significant, especially as it relates to government contracts and tariff negotiations.
