The big takeaway from the Fed's interest rate decision and following press conference with Kevin Warsh is an intensifying focus on inflation, says Jed Ellerbroek. He believes the task forces announced are a "bid for time" to help stabilize the economy. On AI ROI, Jed says the demand for compute is only accelerating as Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META) account for 70% of data center construction. He later turns to winners he sees in the aerospace and defense industry. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Just ahead of Oracle's (ORCL) earnings after Wednesday's close, Steven Dickens says the company's backlog will be the biggest metric to watch, along with how it converts it all into revenue. How Oracle builds out AI infrastructure and balancing it with future CapEx are also paramount to Steven, though he doesn't see it as a concern. He calls Oracle the "fourth hyperscaler" and sees the company competing against existing giants in Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
