President Trump's reported 35% tariff on Canada and 50% tariff on copper deepens uncertainty surrounding global trade. Kathy Jones with Charles Schwab says the more tariffs that emerge won't just worsen consumer sentiment, but also the FOMC's interest rate picture. The potential for a rate cut can fall further if next week's CPI and PPI show inflation staying in check.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Katy Milkman is the James G. Dinan Professor at the Wharton School, the host of Charles Schwab's Choiceology podcast, and co-directs the Behavior Change for Good Initiative. Sophia Pink is a PhD student at the Wharton School studying decision-making and behavior change. They join Julie Kratz on the Allyship in Action podcast to discuss their new research on the gender gap in competition. They highlight that women are, on average, less likely to enter competitions (like applying for jobs or promotions) than equally qualified men, a phenomenon observed across many decades and countries, even at the top of the labor market. Key takeaways form this conversation: The Persistent Gender Gap in Competitive Environments and Its Consequences: The discussion begins by establishing the well-documented phenomenon that women, on average, are less likely to enter competitions (like applying for jobs or promotions) than equally qualified men. The speakers emphasize that while this reluctance is not inherently negative in all contexts, it can significantly disadvantage women in crucial career advancement opportunities, particularly for leadership roles that often require navigating multiple competitive stages. This theme highlights the problem and its potential impact on gender equity in the workplace. Leveraging Psychological Insights for Intervention: The Power of Stereotype Reactance: The central focus of the new research is the innovative application of "stereotype reactance" as a potential solution. The researchers hypothesized and found that informing women about the existing gender gap in competition could paradoxically increase their likelihood of applying for jobs. This is attributed to women's potential desire to resist conforming to negative stereotypes and a motivation to take action against the observed inequality. This theme underscores the use of behavioral science principles to design effective interventions for addressing the gender gap. Systemic and Just-in-Time Approaches for Organizational Change: The conversation moves beyond individual behavior change to discuss broader organizational strategies. Recommendations include implementing "default" mechanisms where individuals are automatically considered for opportunities unless they opt out, and providing timely reminders or prompts at the point of decision-making. The speakers emphasize that while long-term cultural shifts are challenging, these more immediate, systemic adjustments and "just-in-time" interventions can create a more equitable playing field by mitigating the impact of confidence barriers and internalized norms. This theme focuses on practical, actionable steps organizations can take to address the competition gap and promote gender equity. Actionable Allyship Takeaway: When you see a woman hesitating to pursue an opportunity for which she is qualified, gently remind her of the gender competition gap by saying something like, "Hey, men tend to apply for this, don't let gender stereotypes hold you back," to encourage her to take the chance .

Kathy Jones with Charles Schwab believes markets are euphoric after the Israel and Iran conflict cooled from the worst-case scenario. However, she sees tensions lasting with tariffs, inflation, and unseen impacts from the "big, beautiful bill." Kathy adds that this will all affect the Fed's path forward on interest rates. She currently expects to see a rate cut in September. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

You've worked hard, saved well, and now you're thinking about giving back—maybe to your kids, your grandkids, or a cause you care about. But should you wait and pass that wealth on later, or give while you're still around to enjoy the impact? Let's talk about how to make that decision with confidence.   Helpful Information: PFG Website: https://www.pfgprivatewealth.com/ Contact: 813-286-7776 Email: info@pfgprivatewealth.com   Disclaimer: PFG Private Wealth Management, LLC is an SEC Registered Investment Advisor.

You work hard, you saved well, so let's talk about how to gift and leave a legacy.   Welcome into the podcast everybody. Thanks for hanging out with John and Nick and myself as we talk about these topics this week. And guys, it's gifting, right? So I want to go over some basics here. It seems like there's been a trend the last couple of years for people to enjoy their retirement legacy with the family versus the old way of you pass and you'll leave a check, right? Here's your inheritance, we're gone, that kind of thing. So let's talk about that a little bit this week on the show and just kind of see what you guys are seeing in your neck of the woods. How you doing this week, Nick?   Nick: Good, good. How about yourself?   Marc: Doing pretty good's. How's the wedding action coming?   Nick: Planning's moving along.   Marc: Nice.   Nick: Did some, hopefully we got the food picked out, so trying to check off all the big things, so.   Marc: That's important. Got to have that good food going on for sure. Well, good. Kudos. Good. Glad to hear that. And John, my friend, how are you this week?   John: I'm good. I'm good. Summer just started for the kids, so getting used to waking up in the morning and they're hanging out with me as I'm getting ready for work-   Marc: And they're ready to go.   John: Versus me just dropping them off. Yeah.   Marc: That's right.   John: It's a lot of fun.   Marc: There you go. Are you guys seeing this trend that I talked about, not necessarily a new trend. It's been going on for a number of years now, but I think where people just want to maybe enjoy some experiences with their loved ones while they're still here versus just leaving that check, so to speak? Are you guys seeing that in your practice as well?   Nick: Yeah, I'd say so. We've had, what are we on now? A 14, 15 year bull run from the standpoint of people have kind of exceeded what their perspective on goals was for the money that they might have in retirement and, so especially I would say, at least from what I've seen, the vacation side of things is kind of the biggest thing that people have been doing where they'll do a large family vacation and pay for the kids and their families to go so that they can all enjoy that together.   Marc: Yeah, that's very cool. And we'll talk about some of the numbers and things in just a few minutes, but John, I'll kick this over to you. I'd say the first step probably still should be, make sure you are covered first, right? We all want to leave and do things for our kids and loved ones, but don't sacrifice your own retirement in order just to do that. Is that a fair place to start?   John: That is 100% where you should start. The last thing you want to do is start gifting and spending money on a vacation, and then you look at it and you're like, "Oh man, I don't have enough money to live anymore." So first thing we do in this situation where it comes up with clients is like most things we say, we look at the plan and we will stress test it and look at different scenarios to make sure, hey, if this were to happen, how does your plan react to it? So we'll throw out some scenarios out there, whether it's healthcare, inflation, social security, things like that. And if the plan looks solid, we will typically give somewhat of a green light of, we think you should budget X amount for this. Or we can also look at scenarios where Nick talked about vacation, but we've seen some others where it's like, "Hey, I want to help my son, daughter with a home purchase." And with the way prices are going now, it's very difficult for first time homeowners to be buying houses. So we've seen a lot of people basically lending, not giving money to their kids for buying homes. So we will put that in the plan and say, "Hey, what does your plan look like if you were to give X amount for a down payment?"   Marc: Gotcha. Okay. And we'll talk about some of those numbers and ways to do that here in a few minutes. So I would say if step number one, as John pointed out is make sure you are covered. The next step number two is maybe just kind of clarify your motivation. He kind of touched on that a little bit, but why are you giving, I mean, again, we all love our kids. We want to help, but what's the purpose? Is that an important kind of factor to decide through?   Nick: Yeah, I've had some recent conversations where maybe there's specific topics like, okay, we're off conversions, and because somebody has read or seen an article or something like that, the thought process is, all right, well let's go ahead and let's convert all of our qualified money to Roth accounts and leave the money to them. And a tricky thing with that can be, as an example, is maybe their kids are not in the same sort of economic space as they are and they're not going to ever make nearly the same amount of money. Them taking a hit right away from a tax perspective maybe doesn't make sense, so try to take them back to the initial point in, Hey, what's your motivation? What are you trying to do? What's most important to you? Is it making sure that your plan is structured well to protect you first and then start to do some giving while you're alive? Or is it more focused on you want to give after you pass away and let's structure your assets accordingly?   So just so many things, making sure that you fully understand what your objectives are because it can be a little bit of the shiny new thing or a shiny new strategy that weren't familiar with at first or initially, and then once you go through and evaluate it in more detail, maybe it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But yeah, really understanding how account types work, what your goals are and really what your focus is really important.   Marc: And of course, working with a financial professional is going to help you identify that because often we're not going to know what the account types and the rules and the taxation things are going to be, so that's why you want to turn to the pros on that. So let's get into some of the numbers a little bit, guys, because I actually want to point out a couple of things that based on what you've said so far, and just kind of ask you some clarifying questions on that. But let's start with understanding the gifting rules. So John, what's some of the numbers that we need to know if we just want to gift money in general?   John: So you want to look at what is the gifting amount before you trigger having to file a gift tax return or putting that on your return that you gifted money. So this number changes from year to year typically, and in 2025, it's $19,000 per person. So example, let's say you have a mother, father, and they want to gift to a child. They can each give $19,000 apiece.   Marc: So married couples 38 grand, right?   John: Yes. So that's a good starting point. And then if you have grandkids involved or whatever, you can start gifting to that. So it's $19,000 per person per year without triggering the gift tax filing.   Marc: And that's hefty. Now I'm sure somebody listens going, "I love my kids, but I ain't giving them 38 grand."   John: Again, everyone's situation's different.   Marc: And you can do that. And it doesn't matter if it doesn't have to be family either, right? This could be anybody, right? You can give 19,000.   John: It can be anybody. Yeah. If you want to just find a random person in the street, you're more than welcome to-   Marc: Your favorite podcast host. I mean, podcast hosts need love too, so I'm just saying.   John: Yeah. So that's definitely the starting point. If you're going to be gifting money to any particular individual. If you want to help out with tuition and medical expenses, as long as it's paid directly towards those institutions, you don't have to file any type of gift tax return.   Marc: Now, I wanted to ask you about that because a minute ago you guys were talking about helping with school. Now you can't gift the money and pay the loan, right? It's not paying the student loan, it's paying the tuition. There is a difference there, correct?   Nick: Yeah. And you want to pay it directly to the institution.   Marc: Gotcha. Okay. That's important to know too, right? I'm sure from a tax standpoint as well. All right. What about QCDs, John? Can we do that in that arena as well? If you want to do some gifting?   John: Yeah. So let's explain what that is. So it's qualified charitable distributions from your IRAs. Nick and I use this quite a bit. So when we're doing the fact-finding with clients, one of the main, not one of the main, but one of the questions we go through is, do you do any charitable gifting? And if they check that box, we'll typically find out what institutions and how much they're giving. And once someone hits RMD age, a great way to save on taxes is gifts directly from your IRA. So you could save quite a bit depending on how much someone's gifting. So example, we have someone that doesn't necessarily need their distribution from the IRA, and they were just taking money out of just cash flow, whether it was social security or pension, they were gifting it to their church. What we would typically do is say, "Hey, let's kind of switch this. Let's go to, let's pull out of the IRA." Let's just use number. Maybe it's 10 or 15 grand and we're going to go directly from the IRA to the charitable institution. In this example, it's a church, and you don't pay any taxes on that amount that came out.   Marc: That's ideal, right? And Nick, thinking about how you, if you're a charitably minded person and talking about leaving a legacy, since this kind of rolls into this conversation, people often ask, "Well, which account should I use for what?" And John mentioned that earlier. So if you're thinking about leaving money to your kids and you've got money in a Roth, you might want to leave the kids that right? And then maybe QCD some money from the IRA over to the church, for example, because that's a tax benefit to everybody. Correct?   Nick: Yeah, for sure. That makes sense. I would say to one kind of red flag, or at least something to be very aware of and had this conversation recently with a client is, while you're alive, if you're in a position to be able to gift and if you're in a position to be able to choose where you want to gift money from, avoid gifting from highly appreciated assets from the standpoint of let's say there's a property or there's a taxable brokerage account that maybe you've held 10 different stocks for 20 years and they have a substantial gain. If you gift that while alive, then the recipient, when they sell those is going to pay taxes on the gain versus if you gift it after you pass away, those investments will get a step-up in cost basis, which can save a significant amount of money from a tax perspective. So I would say where you gift from is absolutely, probably if this is something that's important to you, that's where the largest amount of strategy comes into play and doing it from the right place.   Marc: Nick, any other things we missed as far as with the QCD or some of the numbers there?   Nick: Yeah, one thing that we have run into is that some custodians, including the one that we use, Charles Schwab, they don't send out a specific tax document when somebody processes a qualified charitable distribution. So that's something that you want to keep records of and indicate that you've done that with your tax preparer. We've had a couple of clients where they were anticipating that they were going to receive a specific document that laid out exactly what they did, who it paid to, and that sort of thing and that was not the case. It shows the distribution via the 10-99, but they have to notify the tax preparer and usually provide some sort of documentation showing that they made that gift to a charity. So just from a best practice sort of standpoint, that's something to keep in mind.   Marc: All right. All right. Good stuff guys.

Oracle (ORCL) can see another pop to the upside, according to TheoTrade's Don Kaufman. However, he says a "gamma squeeze" will only happen if the stock pushes above $220. Don leans bearish on his other two stocks. He explains why Walt Disney (DIS) investors may be "stuck in the middle with Mickey" and how Roblox's (RBLX) massive rally can come to a close. Charles Schwab's Kevin Horner highlights the technical trends he sees in all three stocks. ======== 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

Charles Schwab's Nathan Peterson talks about the unusual dynamic he sees in markets between risk-on and risk-off price action. For one, he sees animal spirits in high-beta companies like CoreWeave (CRWV) continuing to gather unprecedented interest. However, it goes against other investors trimming risk exposure as geopolitical tensions mount between Israel and Iran. Nathan also discusses how Wednesday's FOMC interest rate decision can "murky the waters" for its July meeting.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Bob has spent three decades in the wealth management industry, including stints at Charles Schwab, LPL, and Fidelity before joining Hightower in 2019. During the last six years, he oversaw fifty acquisitions of RIAs that he integrated under Hightower's Well-th Rebalanced culture. Our conversation shares a perspective on how RIAs function and allocate capital at scale. We cover the evolution of private wealth from product sales to holistic planning, the founding and transformation of Hightower, and Bob's approach to building a scalable, advisor-focused platform. We discuss Hightower's acquisition strategy and process, advisor retention, and private equity ownership, and then turn to its investment approach that blends centralized oversight with advisor flexibility. We close with Bob's decision to step down as CEO in an exciting time for the business and some leadership lessons he's picked up along the way.

Charles Schwab's Liz Ann Sonders says you have to really comb through the CPI and PPI prints to see how the trade war is affecting the U.S. She points to the widening gap between services and goods numbers showing that divide. Additionally, Liz Ann notes "complacency" gripping markets, which she worries will lead to downside risk if investors don't defend portfolios. She also goes deeper on the China tariffs talks and how negotiations have a long way to go before a deal is made. ======== 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

Charles Schwab's Cooper Howard believes this morning's jobless claims print is more interesting than the PPI. As he explains, softening labor prints like todays can wave an early green flag for the Fed to cut interest rates.

Charles Schwab's Mike Townsend says we're in a "funny, little, quiet" period in D.C. as the Senate turns attention to the GOP's "big, beautiful" tax bill. Mike notes American optimism the bill will be passed by July 4th is likely a "false marker," believing there will be a greater focus on the debt ceiling at the end of July. Liz Ann Sonders turns to the jobs data and weighs data validity. She would not be surprised if there's a hard data "catch down" in the coming weeks.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
