US President Donald Trump said he might stop trade in cooking oil with China, injecting fresh tensions into the relationship between the world's two largest economies. Trump on Tuesday cast the potential move as retaliation against Beijing for its refusal to buy American soybeans, which he said "is an Economically Hostile Act" that is purposefully "causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers." The benchmark S&P 500 turned negative as Trump's comments re-escalated the conflict with China. Just hours earlier, both Trump and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer expressed confidence that friction would ease through ongoing trade talks. We get perspective from Sandra Swirski, Founder & CEO of Integer. Plus - Earnings season has just kicked off. A gauge of big banks jumped after solid results from financial giants. Also today, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled the US central bank is on track to deliver another quarter-point interest-rate cut later this month, even as a government shutdown significantly reduces its read on the economy. For more, we turn to Rob Williams, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Strategist at Sage Advisory Services.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a busy week on the monetary policy front last week. Chris Holdsworth, Chief Investment Strategist, Investec Wealth & Investment International discusses how the Fed opted to cut rates in response to a softer labour market (despite elevated inflation), while the Bank of Japan kept rates steady, but adopted a hawkish tone. Locally, he looks at how South African real rates remain high after the Reserve Bank left rates unchanged. Investec Focus Radio SA
Dr. Ed Yardeni, President and Chief Investment Strategist of Yardeni Research, joins Compound Insights to share his thoughts on why the U.S. economy remains resilient, the impact of Fed policy and tariffs on markets, and why he's still bullish.

Key Asian stock gauges fluctuated Wednesday after the S&P 500 hit a record on hopes the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates to curb a jobs downturn. Shares in South Korea rose in early trading, while those in Japan and Australia were mixed. US equity futures contracts edged higher after Big Tech lifted the index on Tuesday, even as most shares fell. After fresh signs of a cooling labor market, investors are bracing for inflation reports in the coming days that will help shape next week's Fed meeting and the path of rate cuts into 2025 — a key test for whether Wall Street can sustain this month's rally. Money markets are almost fully projecting three Fed cuts this year, with US producer and consumer price index data due this week. We take a closer look with Zachary Hill, Head of Portfolio Management at Horizon Investments.Meantime, the yen was little changed early Wednesday after gaining Tuesday, following a report that Bank of Japan officials may raise interest rates again this year, regardless of domestic political instability. The timing of the BOJ report will make JGB traders a bit nervous about today's 5-year auction, which could mean a lower bid-to-cover ratio than last month's 2.96. However, after an initial knee-jerk selloff investors will likely find that secondary yields above 1% already price in a BOJ tightening. For more, we hear from Robert Tipp, Chief Investment Strategist and Head of Global Bonds at PGIM Fixed Income. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US equity-index futures and shares of Nvidia retreated after the chipmaker's sales outlook missed lofty expectations, weighing on sentiment around the world's most valuable listed company. Nvidia said Wednesday that sales will be roughly $54 billion in the fiscal third quarter, which runs through October. Though that was in line with the average Wall Street estimate, some analysts had projected more than $60 billion.
