Peter Andersen believes the market's recent volatility is here to stay, driven by trade tariffs and the A.I. revolution. He is skeptical about the A.I. hype, citing its massive energy demands and limited ability to replicate human intelligence. Instead, he suggests investors focus on more tangible opportunities like cybersecurity, such as CrowdStrike (CRWD), and data storage, like Equinix (EQIX).======== 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

On June 2, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers edged out the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in Game 1 of their series at Great American Ball Park, extending their winning streak to eight games, the longest since August 2023. The Brewers' victory was powered by Christian Yelich's heroics and a resilient pitching effort, while the Reds struggled to capitalize on early momentum. Yelich, fresh off being named National League Player of the Week, delivered the decisive blow with a 417-foot solo home run in the third inning off Reds starter Brady Singer (6-4, 4.60 ERA). The full-count slider, crushed to straightaway center, gave Milwaukee a 3-2 lead they wouldn't relinquish. Yelich's hot streak continued, as he's now batting .450 over a nine-game hitting streak, with six homers and 14 RBIs. Sal Frelick also contributed, going 2-for-4, bolstering the Brewers' offense. The Reds struck first, scoring two runs in the opening inning against Brewers starter Aaron Civale (1-1, 6.00 ERA). However, Civale settled down, pitching 5 1/3 innings, allowing just those two runs while striking out five. His recovery was critical, especially after missing nearly two months with a strained left hamstring. The Brewers' bullpen, a strength all season, sealed the deal. Rob Zastryzny, acquired from the Yankees in May, was pivotal in the sixth, striking out Jose Trevino and inducing a groundout from Santiago Espinal with runners on base. Trevor Megill closed the game with a perfect ninth, earning his 12th save in 13 chances. For Cincinnati, the loss highlighted ongoing offensive struggles. Despite the early lead, the Reds managed only a few hits after the first, with Singer's six innings undermined by Yelich's homer. The Reds' inability to convert opportunities, like the sixth-inning threat, underscored their 29-31 record and inconsistent play at home (14-14). The game, played before a lively Cincinnati crowd with temperatures at 76°F, showcased Milwaukee's depth and resilience. With Freddy Peralta (5-3, 2.77 ERA) set to face Hunter Greene (4-3, 2.63 ERA) in Game 2, the Brewers aim to keep their streak alive. Meanwhile, the Reds, desperate to snap out of their funk, face an uphill battle in this series.

Too many signs now point in the direction that our government, in conjunction with a very wealthy cabal of people working behind the scenes, attempted to murder a huge portion of the global population with the introduction of a FAKE PANDEMIC followed by a "VACCINE" cure.

Markets have reacted positively to the U.S.-China détente in tariffs. Our Chief Fixed Income Strategist, Vishy Tirupattur, digs into the rallies to better understand potential longer-term outcomes.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Vishy Tirupattur: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. Today I'll talk about the impact of last week's 90-day pause in the reciprocal tariffs between the U.S. and China, and the impact on the economy and markets.It's Monday, May 19th at 11am in New York.Market response to last Monday's announcement has been resoundingly positive. The S&P 500 was up 4.5 percent in the first four days since the announcement and the year-to-date returns are back in the black after Liberation Day drove steep declines in April.Credit markets have also rallied, notably with the investment grade spreads tightening by over 10 basis points and high yield spreads by over 50 basis points. And the Treasury market took out 50 basis points of rate cuts in 2025, leaving market implied rate cuts by the end of 2026 at around 100 basis points.While these moves across markets are significant, it is really important to put them into perspective and tease out what this detente in trade tensions implies. And more importantly, what it does not imply.On the positive side, we think that the de-escalation reduces the risk of a sudden stop in trade volumes and a sharp rise in unemployment rate. While this is clearly just a truce and we don't know exactly where the tariffs between the two largest economies in the world will end up, it seems reasonable to infer that tariffs in the vicinity of 125 percent or 145 percent are substantially less likely now. Overall, the probability of a U.S. recession, therefore, has fallen on the margin.To be clear, a recession during 2025 was never really our base case. But the de-escalation shifts risks in the direction of a little more growth, a little less inflation, and keeps unemployment rate at near current levels. If the world before Liberation Day was bimodal and close to a coin toss; it is still bimodal, but skewed towards an expansion, not contraction. Since we were in the expansion mode to begin with, this detente gives us greater comfort in our baseline outlook and strengthens our conviction that the Fed will remain on hold for rest of the year.The positive vibes from Geneva not withstanding, we would stress that it is far from clear that the 90-day pause is an uncertainty clearing event. Trade tensions are likely to remain elevated. The administration is still investigating tariffs on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, copper, and other products. It is also unclear if the template of negotiations between the U.S. and China can work for other regions, especially Europe. Even if U.S. tariffs on imports from China and the rest of the world end up roughly around the current levels, they would still be about four times higher than the levels at the start of the year.This means inflation should continue to move higher into year end, with the surge that peaks in the third quarter. While the impulse inflation from tariffs is likely to be smaller, it still is coming. Likewise, higher tariffs will dampen growth even though recession will continue to be avoided.For risk markets, we think that the detente has reduced the risk of substantial drawdowns. While policy uncertainty about the ultimate level of tariff remains, a return to last month's mind-boggling volatility driven by trade policy is probably behind us. So, it's unlikely that we will see markets revisiting the lows of April in the near term.For credit markets, a lower likelihood of recession is indeed welcome news, especially considering the current strong credit fundamentals. With the market taking out a couple of rate cuts, the all in yields for credit remain in the range to sustain the demand for yield buyers such as insurance companies.Thanks for listening.

Data silos are significantly hindering AI innovation, as highlighted by a recent report from Infanti. The survey of over 1,200 IT and cybersecurity professionals revealed that more than half of the respondents experience isolated data within their organizations, leading to inefficiencies and slow security responses. Nearly 30% of IT professionals reported that these data deficiencies obstruct their ability to effectively utilize AI tools. Experts emphasize the necessity for a comprehensive data strategy that includes governance, quality, and performance to foster innovation and avoid stagnation in AI projects.In the medical field, radiologists are experiencing growth rather than extinction due to advancements in AI. The Association of American Medical Colleges predicts a shortage of up to 42,000 radiologists by 2033, yet AI is proving to be an essential tool for these professionals. At institutions like the Mayo Clinic, AI has enabled rapid measurements and early disease detection, leading to a 55% expansion in their radiology department and the development of over 250 AI models to enhance diagnostic capabilities.Public relations professionals are adapting to the rise of AI by recognizing the importance of engaging with journalists to influence AI chatbots. Research indicates that authoritative journalism has a more significant impact on how AI platforms generate responses about companies than social media campaigns. This shift underscores the need for firms to prioritize earned media and thought leadership as part of their brand strategy, especially as AI continues to shape public perception.Lastly, companies like SuperOps and TD Cynics are making strides in AI integration. SuperOps has relaunched its AI-powered platform, Monika, which offers various levels of AI autonomy to enhance IT operations for managed service providers. Meanwhile, TD Cynics has updated its Destination AI program to help partners transition from AI exploration to execution, providing tools and frameworks that align technical skills with specific AI solutions. These developments highlight the growing importance of AI in various sectors and the need for organizations to adapt their strategies accordingly. Four things to know today 00:00 Want AI to Work?

(AURN News) — The U.S. economy added 177,000 jobs in April, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, signaling continued growth amid global tariff tensions and economic uncertainty under President Donald Trump's administration. The national unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, but stark differences remain among racial groups. The unemployment rate for Black Americans stood at 6.3%—the highest among any demographic—compared to 5.2% for Hispanics, 3.8% for Whites and 3.0% for Asians. Healthcare led job gains last month, contributing 51,000 new positions. Government employment, however, declined by 9,000 jobs. Wages also rose modestly, with average hourly earnings increasing by six cents to $36.06. President Trump took to Truth Social to tout what he called signs of a strengthening economy. “Gasoline just broke $1.98 a Gallon, lowest in years, groceries (and eggs!) down, energy down, mortgage rates down, employment strong, and much more good news, as Billions of Dollars pour in from Tariffs,” Trump posted Friday. “Just like I said, and we're only in a TRANSITION STAGE, just getting started!!! Consumers have been waiting for years to see pricing come down. NO INFLATION, THE FED SHOULD LOWER ITS RATE!!!” But the president's claims appear to overstate the situation. According to AAA, the national average price of gasoline is $3.18 per gallon—down from $3.67 a year ago but still far from the $1.98 figure Trump cited. Meanwhile, egg prices remain elevated. A dozen eggs currently cost more than $2.99, the average price a year ago. While the labor market remains stable, ongoing questions about inflation, tariffs and income inequality continue to loom over the administration's economic policies. Learn more about your ad choices.

Throughout the Gospel accounts of Jesus, we see Him perform so many incredible miracles. These moments separate Jesus from comparison to any other religious figure throughout human history. We must grapple with why so many are collected and shared when they are beyond our comprehension. The miracles in the Gospel of Luke are more than moments of wonder; they are invitations to learn from and worship our Lord. This week, we explore Luke 18:35-43 ESV and the importance of embracing persistence as we follow Jesus. Speaker: Michael Bayne Text: Luke 18:35-43 ESV

In this conversation, Michelle Glogovac and Rhonda Foxx discuss the importance of women's voices in politics, the creation of the Persist network, and the need for civic engagement. Rhonda shares her experiences running for Congress and the challenges women face in political spaces. They emphasize the significance of grassroots organizing and the power of community in advocating for change. The conversation highlights the role of education in civic engagement and the necessity for women to support one another in their political endeavors. What We're Talking About The Persist network aims to keep women connected and politically engaged. Women need to be encouraged to run for office and take leadership roles. Civic education is crucial for empowering future generations. Politics affects every aspect of our lives, making engagement essential. Grassroots organizing can lead to significant change in communities. Women often need to be asked multiple times to run for office. Political campaigns can be grueling and require resilience. Community building is vital for sustaining political movements. Advocacy and calling representatives can influence political decisions. The future of women's representation depends on collective action and support.
