You could call this an early Christmas gift. A delayed September PCE report was released last week, focusing on core inflation—a price measure closely watched by the Federal Reserve. It came in cooler than expected, which is encouraging for the Trump administration, as it has been pushing the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. While attention is on this week's rate decision, eyes are already on next year. You could say the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, is on Trump's naughty list, and the nominee to replace him will likely be named in early 2026. What will that mean for the direction of monetary policy? Kenny Polcari, the Chief Market Strategist at Slatestone Wealth, shares insights on what investors are expecting from the Fed this week, who they think may replace Powell, and what to anticipate from the markets in the final weeks of 2025.

Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog, joins The Julia La Roche Show for "The Wrap with Chris Whalen." Whalen breaks down what's ahead for the Federal Reserve and financial markets as we head into 2026. He discusses Kevin Hassett as the likely next Fed Chair, explaining why Fed independence is more myth than reality and how political pressures will influence rate decisions ahead of the midterm elections. Whalen analyzes the upcoming FOMC meeting, commercial real estate risks, and why he's not concerned about an imminent market crisis despite ongoing concerns about the Treasury market and credit conditions. He also tackles why the Fed's 2% inflation target may be outdated and explains the K-shaped economy that has consumers and investors feeling divided about the recovery.

On today's episode, we break down one of the most widely used market internals: the TRIN (Arms Index). What does it actually tell you? How should traders interpret it? And—most importantly—does it work as a real-time trading tool? I'll walk you through how professionals use TRIN to read market pressure, identify turning points, and separate noise from true momentum. We'll also tackle a big viewer question about Kevin Hassett, now emerging as a leading candidate for Federal Reserve Chair—and what his policy stance could mean for interest rates, inflation, and overall market direction. Plus, we'll look at Microsoft's weakening outlook on AI, why it surprised Wall Street, and how it might reshape the competitive landscape for Big Tech. Listen now:

As for opportunities, he says investors have overlooked energy and healthcare. He anticipates growing consumer strength and market broadening in 2026.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

On today's podcast:1) The Kremlin said Vladimir Putin held “very useful” talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner though the sides failed to reach agreement on a plan to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. The negotiations lasting almost five hours were “constructive and very informative,” though “a compromise hasn’t been reached yet” on the critical issue of territorial control, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters in Moscow. A possible meeting between Putin and President Trump “will depend on what progress is being made,” Ushakov added.2) Republicans averted an upset in a Tennessee-based US House race Tuesday, a relief to President Trump and his congressional allies. Matt Van Epps, the Trump-backed Republican candidate, was projected to win by the AP, NBC News and Decision Desk HQ, an election analysis website. Trump praised the GOP victory in a social media post and Van Epps declared victory. Yet even in victory, voters in a district Trump won overwhelmingly just over a year ago swung away from Republicans, the latest data point in a trend that is raising alarm about the GOP’s prospects in next year’s midterm elections, as Van Epps’ victory came about only after Republicans surged resources and expended political capital in a strident GOP district that would typically be considered safe.3) President Trump said he plans to announce his selection to lead the Federal Reserve in early 2026 and teased National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett as his possible choice on Tuesday, fueling further speculation about the next leader of the US central bank. Hassett is seen as the likely choice to succeed Powell, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News last week, and Trump nodded to that position at a separate event shortly after the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Trump’s comments offer a clearer timeline for the announcement. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has been overseeing the selection process, previously said the pick could be revealed around Christmas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Equity markets staged a cautious rebound yesterday, with major indices posting modest gains. In Europe, utilities led the advance, lifting the broader market, while in the US, leadership came from big tech and AI-related stocks. Sentiment was buoyed by SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son's revelation that he was “practically crying” to sell the company's Nvidia stake, alongside a strong earnings report from MongoDB. However, not all segments participated in the rally – precious metals lagged, and the energy sector saw a notable reversal. Meanwhile, DarioMessi, Head of Fixed Income Research, discusses expectations surrounding the still-pending appointment of a new Fed Chair for next year and how the bond market is digesting this transition.(00:00) - Introduction: Helen Freer, Product & Investment Content (00:28) - Markets wrap-up: Jan Bopp, Product & Investment Content (06:29) - Bond market update: Dario Messi, Head of Fixed Income Research (10:34) - Closing remarks: Helen Freer, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

Mike Armstrong and Marc Fandetti discuss the divided Fed can't agree the future of rate cuts. Why Kevin Hassett is winning the Fed Chair race before it has ended. Here's why everyone's talking about a ‘K-shaped' economy. Bitcoin rout picks up steam as investors fret over a new ‘Crypto Winter'. World economy surprisingly resilient to tariffs, OECD says. Costco files suit against Trump admin over tariffs.
Amid Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday sales, owner of The Locavore Caroline Weaver discusses consumers shopping locally this holiday season.

US President Trump indicated that a nominee for Chair of the Federal Reserve has been selected (though without giving a name). Senate confirmation is assumed by the markets, as none of the supposed candidates are so radical as to merit independent Senate action. Fed members have been showing increased independence in policy votes, however, which may blunt the impact of the Fed Chair on policy direction.
With fifteen relevant trading days remaining for 2025, investors over the next few weeks will be watching for key economic data releases, a potential Fed rate cut, and a possible announcement of the new Fed Chair. Jason drops by to explain what this all could mean for the markets and investment outlook. Featured is Jason Draho, Head of Asset Allocation Americas, UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy
Michael Shaoul says to put aside Consumer Sentiment numbers for the time being until the K-shaped economy really starts to bifurcate. He is less concerned with what the Fed does in December than what it does in 2026, especially as a new Fed Chair joins the committee. Another highlight is money supply and precious metals and their relationship.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Charles Schwab's Cooper Howard points part of the risk-off sentiment Monday morning to the interest rate clash between Japan and the U.S. Global markets attempt to price in a rate hike from the former and a cut from the latter. As for expectations on the next Fed Chair, Cooper sees a longer higher-term yield if the next head cuts rates more aggressively. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

On today's podcast:1) US and Ukrainian negotiators said they had productive discussions about a framework for a peace deal, but there was no final breakthrough as President Trump continues to push for a truce with Russia. “There’s more work to be done,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters in Florida after meeting for at least four hours with Ukrainian officials led by National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov. “This is delicate. It’s complicated.” The meeting, which took place in Hallandale Beach, Florida, with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner also in attendance, was likely the last chance for Ukraine’s negotiators to sway Witkoff before he leads a US delegation for talks in Russia this week. The two sides discussed potential parameters for a ceasefire as they pored over a 19-point proposal that emerged in Geneva last week — as well as the status of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the biggest in Europe, according to people familiar with the discussions. 2) US authorities believe the man suspected of fatally shooting a National Guard member and seriously wounding another in Washington, DC, was radicalized while in the US, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said. Asked on NBC’s Meet the Press about the suspect’s motive, Noem said investigators are still collecting information and talking to his contacts. Federal authorities have identified the suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an Afghan national who worked with US forces and the CIA in Afghanistan before arriving in the US in 2021. He was subdued and taken into custody shortly after the shooting on a street a few blocks from the White House on Wednesday.3) President Trump said Sunday he has decided on his pick for the next Federal Reserve chair after making clear he expects his nominee to deliver interest-rate cuts. Trump has frequently excoriated current Fed chief Jerome Powell for failing to lower rates swiftly and signaled he wants a chair who will more forcefully pursue cuts. People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News last week that White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, Trump’s chief economic adviser, is seen as the likely choice to succeed Powell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast:1) US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.2) White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is seen by advisers and allies of President Donald Trump as the frontrunner to be the next Federal Reserve chair, according to people familiar with the matter, as the search for a new central bank leader enters its final weeks.3) Stocks climbed as elevated expectations for US interest-rate cuts helped sustain traders’ newfound optimism into the Thanksgiving holiday. The S&P 500 was set to extend a three-day, 3.5% rally marked by broad gains across sectors. Alphabet Inc. rose 1.5% in premarket trading after three straight closes at all-time highs. The US benchmark also drew technical support as it moved back above its 50-day moving average. The dollar headed for back-to-back losses, while Treasuries eased.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bitcoin Boomers Ep. 02: Fiat's Final Days & AI Job Apocalypse | Larry Lepard, Dr. Bob Murphy, Bob Burnett, Gary LelandDr. Bob Murphy (NYU PhD, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, former Contra Krugman host) joins Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and Gary Leland for the most explosive Bitcoin Boomers episode yet. From the very first minutes the gloves come off: fiat's 100-year Keynesian experiment is mathematically doomed, AI is already wiping out entry-level jobs overnight, robots are on track to rival nation-states, and deflationary technology just made debt-based money impossible to sustain. Larry drops the hammer (“the whole experiment is about to blow the fuck up — and it deserves to”), Bob Murphy calmly explains why Bitcoin proves you don't need the state to have money, and the crew debates UBI inevitability, spend-and-replace adoption strategies, and why BlackRock & nation-states are suddenly begging for Bitcoin.This is the red-pill episode you send to every boomer, uncle, or normie who still thinks the dollar is fine. If you want the intellectual ammo to orange-pill anyone over the holidays, this is it.Key Topics:Why fiat is now mathematically unsustainableAI silently killing entry-level hiring todayRobots rivaling nation-states in powerDeflationary tech destroying debt-based moneyBitcoin proves you don't need government to issue moneyThe regression theorem tragedy that cost Austrians millionsUBI is politically unstoppableGreenspan's private confession: being Fed Chair was “absolutely intoxicating”Spend-and-replace vs pure HODL debateBlackRock begging for Bitcoin — Bob's biggest 2025 shock20% Bitcoin discount at the CrossFit gym storyWhy the next 100 M users could arrive in monthsChapters:00:00:00 Cold Open – The end of fiat has begun00:01:11 Welcome Dr. Bob Murphy & Bob Burnett00:03:20 Why economics has warring schools00:12:17 MMT exposed00:19:16 Larry: “It's about to blow the fuck up — and it deserves to”00:26:26 AI already killing entry-level jobs00:33:46 UBI is coming — politically impossible to stop00:39:50 Robots will rival nation-states00:43:10 Deflation just killed debt-based money00:46:48 “Bitcoin proved you don't need the state to issue money”00:52:31 The regression theorem tragedy00:55:21 Spend-and-replace debate01:00:41 Real-world Bitcoin adoption stories01:04:38 BlackRock begging for Bitcoin01:10:57 “I cannot believe we got here this fast”Guest : Dr. Robert Murphy (@BobMurphyEcon) – NYU PhD, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, Chief Economist at InfinitoWebsite: https://www.bobmurphyshow.com/Hosts:Lawrence Lepard (@LawrenceLepard): Sound money advocate, fund manager, author of "The Big Print" Bob Burnett (@boomer_btc): Bitcoin evangelist, Founder/CEO of Barefoot Mining, former CTO at Gateway Inc.

In this episode, Craig Jeffery talks with John Mosko and Sue Hill of Federated Hermes about Jerome Powell's final months as Fed Chair and what a leadership change could mean for markets, rates, and policy transparency.

Stephen Miran isn’t auditioning to run the Federal Reserve. He’s auditioning to destroy it. Like so many in Trump’s sphere, Miran was selected for his ability to appear like he’s doing the right thing and making the tough choices. In reality, he exists to destroy the thing he’s spent his entire life trying to be a part of. Miran is a highly educated and competent analyst whose academic veneer and projection of empathy belie his craven desire for power and to eradicate the independence of the Fed and place it under direct authority and control of the president. And make no mistake, when Jerome Powell’s term is up, this is who will be in charge of the Fed.

Trump's efforts to use the Shutdown to put a blindfold around the Fed to deny it key economic data so it would fly blind during today's Interest Rate setting meeting, backfired, as the Fed Chair said that when in a “fog” you “slow down” indicating that Trump screwed up his efforts to get a second rate cut next month by keeping the Government shut down.
