This Market Is Directionless (And That Should Scare You)
About this episode
Robert Armstrong, U.S. financial commentator for the Financial Times, fills in for Scott to assess the state of the markets at the halfway point of the year. He and Ed look back at the biggest stories of the past six months and explain why they believe investors may be approaching a nervous top. They discuss why the Magnificent Seven have begun to lose their grip on the market and which sectors are emerging as the new leaders. Finally, they look ahead to the second half of the year, making predictions on inflation, interest rates, and whether or not the bubble will burst.
