Kevin Mahn shares his thoughts on the market's record-breaking first half of the year. He believes the current rally may actually be short-lived, citing potential legislative headwinds, trade tensions and the Fed's interest rate decisions as possible sources of concern. Mahn expects 2 rate cuts by year-end, but warns that a delayed response could exacerbate economic slowdown. For the back half of the year, he's bullish on aerospace and defense stocks, particularly Northrop Grumman (NOC), Boeing (BA), and RTX Corp (RTX). Mahn also says to watch for A.I. plays outside of semiconductors, instead pointing to data centers, cooling solutions and utilities. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Looking at some of the major disruptive headlines of the last few weeks, she says that “A.I. is still transforming,” with focus moving to software companies like Palantir (PLTR) vs semiconductor makers like Nvidia (NVDA).

In this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast Does Europe, the boys dive into the political circus, focusing on how Europeans are snickering at Donald Trump's presidency. They question if the U.S. foreign policy is more like a toddler with too many toys or an actual strategy and ponder whether Europe might finally unite to tackle global shenanigans. They tackle the rise of authoritarianism - because who doesn't love a good dictator story? - and discuss how military spending might be the new diet plan for social services. The episode also turns the spotlight on the U.S.'s role in Ukraine, asking if it's more of a "hero" or "meddler" narrative. For a lighter note, they explore the economic rollercoaster of trade policies and the recruitment industry's attempts to not fall off. The conversation shifts to the French job board Welcome to the Jungle, which seems to be having an existential crisis, and how European companies are aiming for America and the UK to keep up with market mood swings. Next up, is the much anticipated "Who'd Ya' Rather?" game, where the boys put two startups, Maki and Talent Mapper, on the hot seat, dissecting their recruitment and engagement strategies like a couple of culinary critics at a food fight. And because every good podcast needs a health segment, they delve into the German love affair with sick leave - exploring if it's a cultural quirk or a silent protest against work.
