The markets are entering rare territory — utilities have become the year’s top-performing sector, AI deals are moving entire stock indexes, and productivity is rising even as the economy cools. Meanwhile, gold has hit record highs, international equities are closing the gap with the U.S., and the Fed’s rate cuts are creating what some call a “Goldilocks” market: not too hot, not too cold, and just right.

In this episode of Today’s Market Explained, Brian Kasal and Chris Reardon unpack the unusual dynamics driving today’s bull market. From the surge in AI-driven energy demand to $17 trillion in new U.S. investments and the global flight to gold, they explore what these shifts mean for founders, investors, and anyone navigating capital markets right now.
