Podcasts about retail sales

Last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, “Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes”. Altman compared the widespread interest over Artificial Intelligence today, to the “tech bubble” of the late 1990s. But, the Magnificent 7 companies' valuations today are less than half what the top five technology companies were, at the peak of the dot-com bubble.With over 90% of S&P 500 index companies having already reported their Q2 results, earnings growth is settling in at 12.0%, and the consensus forecast of 4.8% for Q3 is starting to look too low. Higher-than-expected July producer prices and nominal retail sales may both be signalling that the full impact of tariffs is yet to come. We expect producers to pass on the increased cost to consumers in the months ahead.

Consumer sentiment took a hit in August as concerns about inflation and a potential recession loomed. Morningstar's David Swartz says consumers are pulling back on discretionary spending due to economic uncertainty, while Conference Board's Dana Peterson notes a rise in inflation expectations in July. However, not all retailers are created equal - Swartz sees value in undervalued department store stocks like Macy's (M) and Kohl's (KSS), citing their significant real estate holdings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

AP correspondent Donna Warder has the latest retail sales numbers.

From Wall Street to Main Street, the latest on the markets and what it means for your money. Updated regularly on weekdays, featuring CNBC expert analysis and sound from top business newsmakers. Anchored by CNBC's Jessica Ettinger.

Retails sales went up by 0.5% in July, which was better than expected. Broomhead discusses what that means for the economy along with the job market. 

Joe Brusuelas joins Diane King Hall at the NYSE to go under the hood on the hot July PPI print. The argument that foreigner's are "paying the tariffs" has been "destroyed," says Joe. In terms of the Fed cutting rates, he cautions investors that Federal Funds markets are thin and illiquid, saying there's a long road until the September meeting. Joe says pricing pressures could really arrive around holiday shopping season saying "thinner margins" will make companies pass along the costs to consumers. Joe is expecting a stronger Retail Sales number Friday, citing Amazon (AMZN) Prime Days as a possible boost for the July number.======== 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 – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Jillene Connors Belopolsky, Chief of Staff and Chief External Affairs Officer at the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA), to our Houston studio. Jillene joined the CCA in 2021 and has over a decade of experience in energy sustainability, strategy, and innovation. She previously served as Head of North America for Earth Security Group and in several senior roles at BP, where she developed strategies addressing the environmental and societal impacts of technology, climate change, and carbon management. Established in 2010, the CCA works to enable, influence, and accelerate local transitions to clean cooking solutions globally by supporting governments, unlocking and diversifying funding, strengthening enterprises, and fostering a harmonized, resilient ecosystem. We were thrilled to hear Jillene's insights on this important and often overlooked issue. In our conversation, Jillene shares an overview of the CCA's mission, scope, and focus on energy poverty, as well as her personal journey in becoming interested in working to alleviate energy poverty to enable people to live the best lives of their own choosing. We discuss the importance of energy access for prosperity, the scale of the challenge with 675 million people without electricity and 2.1 billion relying on polluting cooking fuels, and the health, environmental, and economic impacts of lacking clean cooking solutions, as well as why clean cooking is often overlooked despite its broad benefits. Jillene walks us through the CCA's range of solutions including induction stoves, improved biomass stoves, LPG with PAYGO models, ethanol solutions, and domestic biogas systems, alongside financing models and clean cooking performance standards. We explore ecosystem participants, from stove and fuel manufacturers to distributors and technology providers, as well as innovations such as smart metering, fuel ATMs, e-cooking tariffs, and monitored biogas systems. We touch on different LPG delivery methods, why Kenya is a leading example due to its prioritized clean cooking policies and regulatory environment, the $8.5 billion annual funding gap for deploying clean cooking solutions, the capital mix needed, government and international support, and opportunities to harmonize taxes and tariffs, build trade, and scale solutions across East and West Africa. Additionally, we discuss how businesses and individuals can support clean cooking solutions, the importance of a diverse mix of approaches, and clean cooking's immediate, cost-effective benefits for health, environment, and energy access. We cover the necessity of government leadership in creating an enabling environment for clean cooking access and economic development, why a combined government-private sector approach is needed in Africa, the urgent need for private sector involvement to accelerate progress, the strategic opportunity for energy companies to leverage their expertise and resources to support clean cooking initiatives, and much more. It was a thought-provoking discussion and we're very grateful to Jillene for sharing her expertise with us. For additional information on the CCA, their 2024 Annual Report is linked here. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting the 10-year bond yield (~4.3%) was unchanged as July CPI reported in-line with expectations. July PPI is due Wednesday, and if it also reports in-line, markets will be anticipating the first of three interest rates cuts for 2025 at the September FOMC Meeting. Initial Jobless Claims, Retail Sales, and Consumer Sentiment reports are all set to report later this week. The S&P 500 rallied ~1% on Tuesday mostly due to the in-line CPI print. Equity markets over the next few months will likely be more driven by economic/world events than equity fundamentals. The path of least resistance still looks up and to the right,

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news in search of short-term riches, the Cook Islands is establishing itself as a haven base for deep sea mining, it be used by both great powers.But first, American mortgage applications rose last week with a modest +3.1% gain from the prior week attributed to a small fall in benchmark mortgage interest rates. It was the stronger +5% refinance activity that drove the modest gain rather than new home purchases.Those benchmark rates may keep falling. There was slightly softer demand for the latest overnight US Treasury 10yr Note auction, but the resulting median yield came in at 4.20%, down from 4.31% at the prior equivalent event a month ago. However the yield is up on more recent levels.Separately, the NY Fed monitoring of global supply chain pressure eased again in July.In Canada, they are seeing residential real estate markets operating like we see here. For example Toronto sales transactions are rising (+13% in July from a year ago), but prices falling (-5.4% on the same basis).The Reserve Bank of India kept its key policy rate at 5.50% during its August meeting, now holding a neutral stance, following a larger-than-expected -50 bps decrease in June. There were no surprises here and the rate remains at its lowest level since August 2022. Easing inflation and the recent US tariff challenges were key considerations.Meanwhile, the US has doubled its tariffs on India to 50% as 'punishment' for buying Russian oil. Interestingly it has boosted Modi's standing at home in India and brought bi-partisan support for him in resisting the US.In China, they have brought in a ¥3,600 yuan (NZ$845) per year child care subsidy for under threes, designed to boost household consumption and ease pressure on family budgets. Encouraging childbirth is probably the core motivation for this subsidy. It is just another is a broadening range of consumer subsidies China is rolling out to support its economy and build domestic demand.EU retail sales volumes impressed in an overnight data release for June. They were up +3.1% on a volume basis, the best increase since September 2024. German gains were particularly strong, up +4.8% on the same volume basis.But new German factory orders again disappointed in June, down -1.0% in volume terms. Although this was twisted by some lumpy 'large' orders. Excluding those, the change is a gain of +0.5% in volume terms. (Large-scale items include aircraft, ships, trains, military vehicles).Australia said living costs rose for all type of households in June. Over the past year, all LCIs rose between +1.7% and +3.1%, slowing from annual rises of between +2.4% and +3.5% to the March 2025 quarter. In the South Pacific, the Cook Islands is becoming a renegade state. Its deal with China allows the Chinese to use it as a base for deep sea mining. Now the US is keen to use it in the same way. These great powers see “one of the most promising regions for deep-sea mineral deposits.” These nations are keen to plunder as far away from themselves as possible.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.22%, up +2 bps from yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$3,374/oz, down -US$5 from yesterday.American oil prices have slipped back again, down another -50 USc to just under US$65/bbl with the international Brent price holding at just over US$67.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at 59.4 USc and up +40 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 91.3 AUc. Against the euro we are also unchanged at 51 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.1, up +20 bps.The bitcoin price started today at US$115,465 and up +1.6% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just under +/-0.9%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent said he will see US President Trump regarding the China tariff pause on Wednesday and some technical details remain on the China tariff pause, while the China tariff extension decision will be up to Trump and if he does not approve tariff pause extension, tariffs on Chinese goods would 'boomerang' back to April 2nd levels, or another level that he chooses.US President Trump said Chinese President Xi wants to meet and he thinks it will happen before the end of the year, while he stated that they will either approve the trade extension or not. Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Li said the US and China have agreed to extend the trade truce; Bessent said China jumped the gun a little on the 90-day pause.Crude futures surged yesterday amid comments from US President Trump who confirmed changing the deadline for Russia to reach a Ukraine ceasefire agreement to 10 days, while there were simultaneous comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent who told Chinese officials that China could face high tariffs if it continues to purchase sanctioned Russian oil due to US secondary tariff legislation.APAC stocks traded mixed following the subdued handover from Wall St; European equity futures indicate a mildly positive cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.3% after the cash market closed with gains of 0.8% on Tuesday.Looking ahead, highlights include French GDP, Spanish CPI, German GDP & Retail Sales, Italian GDP, ECB Wage Tracker, EZ GDP & Sentiment, US ADP National Employment, GDP Advance (Q2), PCE (Q2), Fed, BoC, BCB Policy Announcements Speakers including Fed Chair Powell, BoC's Macklem & Rogers, Supply from Italy, US Quarterly Treasury Refunding Announcement.Earnings from Hermes, Airbus, Vinci, Danone, Capgemini, HSBC, GSK, Aston Martin, Santander, Caixabank, Telefonica, Intesa Sanpaolo, Leonardo, Mercedes Benz, Siemens Healthineers, BASF, Adidas, Porsche AG, Meta, Microsoft, RobinHood, Carvana, Lam Research, Qualcomm, Ford, Arm, eBay, FMC, Vertiv, Altria, Kraft Heinz, GE Healthcare & VF Corp.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

Adrian Rodriguez is the Vice President of Marketing and Retail Sales at Commercial Tire, a leading tire and auto service provider with over 45 locations across Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Utah. Before joining Commercial Tire, he spent a decade with John Deere, sharpening his expertise in marketing and retail strategy. Adrian helped lead Commercial Tire's transition to 100% employee ownership in 2019, fostering a culture rooted in accountability and local investment. Outside of work, he's an avid skier and downhill mountain biker, embracing extreme sports with the same energy he brings to business. In this episode… Tire and automotive services often operate behind the scenes, yet they serve as foundational pillars of local economies. As some businesses evolve toward more employee-centric models, the conversation around ownership, community impact, and internal culture is gaining momentum. What does it look like when a tire company becomes 100% employee-owned — and how does that change everything? According to Adrian Rodriguez, who leads marketing and retail sales for Commercial Tire, becoming employee-owned was both a strategic and cultural transformation. The shift not only enhanced operational efficiency through collective accountability but also redirected profits into local communities where employees live and work. By fostering a deep sense of ownership at every level, the company unlocked new opportunities for innovation, loyalty, and long-term sustainability. On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge welcomes Adrian Rodriguez for a deep dive into Commercial Tire's evolution as a 100% employee-owned company. Adrian shares how this ownership model impacts culture, accountability, and profitability. He also discusses B2B and consumer marketing challenges, the importance of community engagement, and how internal values drive lasting success.

When it comes to money decisions, the numbers don't always win. This week, we're diving into how behavioral finance influences the way we approach big purchases—like buying versus leasing a car or choosing a home that stretches the budget. While one option might make the most sense on paper, your lifestyle, habits, and even emotions may lead you in another direction.If you've been with your car insurance company for 25 years, but switching providers offers better coverage, lower deductibles, and hundreds in savings—what do you do? For many, the emotional weight of loyalty outweighs the financial upside of making a change.Leasing isn't just for cars anymore—it's becoming a business model for everything from HVAC systems to washers, dryers, refrigerators, and water heaters. While leasing can ease upfront costs, it often comes with long-term financial drawbacks. We break down the numbers, compare short- vs. long-term costs, and discuss why lifestyle convenience often trumps financial optimization.Is tapping into your home equity ever a smart investment move? If your potential returns exceed your mortgage rate, maybe—but it's not just a math equation. We examine the behavioral and practical factors: cash flow, interest rates, risk tolerance, and the peace of mind that comes from being debt-free. Plus, what if you already have extra cash—should you invest it or knock down the mortgage?Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Retail sales rise, experts wrong again, inflation is low, tariffs are working. Trump says that tariffs are going to be used to remove the IRS and remove the income tax. Trump is pushing alternative currencies to replace the Federal Reserve Note. The [DS] narrative is falling apart. They pushed the Epstein narrative and tried to divide the MAGA party, the opposite happened. Trump has now trapped them and beat them at their own game. He has them begging for the Epstein information, he is now going to give it to them, but it's not the evidence that they want. It's going to show how the system blackmails people into doing what they want. The grand conspiracy is being exposed and the [DS] can't stop it.   Economy https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1945857311429529743   5.5%, the third-highest in 16 years. At the same time, Americans working primary full-time and secondary part-time jobs surged by 133,000, to 5.05 million, one of the highest levels in history. As a share of employment, this metric sits at 3.1%, in line with the 2008 Financial Crisis peak. Affordability in America is rapidly declining.

This reading followed the 0.9% decrease reported in May and came in better than the market expectation for an increase of 0.1%. On a yearly basis, Retail Sales were up 3.9% in June, compared to 3.3% in May. "Total sales for the April 2025 through June 2025 period were up 4.1% from the same period a year ago," the press release read. Market reaction The US Dollar preserves its strength following the upbeat Retail Sales data. At the time of press, the USD Index was up 0.55% on the day at 98.82. Source:  fxstreet.com  Peter Navarro Discusses Why Retail Sales Growth Exceeds all Wall Street Projections, and Prices Continue Dropping Retail sales growth is important because approximately two-thirds of the U.S. GDP growth is driven by consumer sales.  With inflation low, retail sales high, and with a previously reported drop in U.S. imports, the ¹second quarter GDP is likely to be much stronger than anyone previously predicted.  Thus, Peter Navarro is leaning forward against the naysayers. This is essentially a repeat of the 2017/2018 economic outcome from President Trump's first term in office.  The tariffs, which are applied to the ‘cost' side of the dynamic, are mostly being absorbed by major producing nations who are reliant upon export to the U.S. market.  Simultaneously, the tariffs are generating income – essentially exfiltrating foreign wealth and returning those funds to the USA; a complete reversal of the rust-belt dynamic. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1945955921030684832   over 40% of which generated at least $1 billion in revenue in China last year.

AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports after a pullback earlier this year, U.S. consumers have picked up their spending.

The show opens with much better than expected retail sales numbers for June. I also clarify about VP Vance's tie breaking vote and how the final vote for the recission bill was today. NPR's CEO Katherine Maher thinks you need NPR and PBS because you can't get broadband or cell service everywhere in rural America. We learned that Judge Boasberg penned a memo with support of several other activist judges and sent it to SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts showing they had already determined their feelings about any Trump case brought before them. Rep. Jamie Raskins (D-MD) continues to show us he is still the Designated Liar. Jill Biden's Chief of Staff, Anthony Bernal, refused to answer any congressional oversight questions. Rep. James Comer (R-KY) gives us his thoughts on pleading the fifth. It does open up the possibility of getting a lot more people to answer questions, including Jill Biden. The Democrats in the Senate walked out of committee, with Spartacus himself, Sen. Corey Booker (D-NJ) trying to once again filibuster to stall a vote for a Trump judicial nominee. All the Dems have is obstructionism as part of their America Last agenda. I then take a moment to reflect on the concept of “political correctness” and how it's led to where we are today. I hope it encourages people to stop being afraid to share their thoughts and to engage in much needed conversations. The most ridiculous item of the day goes to Prime Minister Keir Starmer who wants to lower the voting age in the UK to 16. As to big wins, it looks like Trump will declassify the documents needed to continue the Grand Criminal Conspiracy Investigation. We remind the audience about the last time Trump was in office and implemented some tariffs, it led to jobs and investment in America. Italy has just signed on to get natural gas from the United States to the tune of $15 billion dollars. ICE has been granted access to Medicaid data, which will allow them to track down even more illegals. And, Trump has just announced that not a penny more will be wasted on the boondoggle that was high-speed rail in California. Finally, we get two back-to-back polls from CNN's Harry Enten. Even with the Epstein topic, GOP support for Trump continues to grow. Unfortunately, during the same polling period, Demcrats continue to lose the confidence of their base.

They're paying 20- 27% more than to cover the lease on these buildings. The taxpayers are paying for these empty buildings. Why are these buildings empty? Well, one reason why is because Governor Tim Walsh does not require federal employees to go to work here. They're still working from home. Therefore, no one's coming down here to work. Crime has went up in this city because no one's coming to work. Everyone's left. No shops are open, no restaurants are opened. This is what is happening in Minneapolis.
