Limited Special Offer to join the Oxford Income Newsletter: https://www.marketbeat.com/y/yt952/ A historic move by the U.S. and Japan sent shockwaves through the currency markets this week, and it's raising a bigger question for investors: are rising interest rates here to stay, and what does that mean for your portfolio? Joining us today is Marc Lichtenfeld with the Oxford Club. Marc breaks down why this currency intervention matters, what it signals about interest rates in the US and around the world, and three stocks he thinks are set up perfectly for a rising rate environment... including one nearly identical setup to a past pick of his that's now up almost 600%.

Get Keith's full, FREE Report with 10 Stocks that are all AI Cash Machines: https://www.marketbeat.com/y/yt949/ The AI infrastructure boom has already made its first millionaires. Now TradeSmith's Keith Kaplan says a fourth wave is emerging, and it is the least crowded one yet. These are the companies actually running businesses on top of all that AI spending, in insurance, advertising, and healthcare, and most of them do not even show up on investors' radar as AI plays. Keith breaks down three names across this new wave, from an AI insurer settling claims in seconds, to a media buyer under SEC scrutiny that he still believes in, to a rebuilder revolutionizing physical therapy.

Should you buy the dip on these Space stocks, or stay away? https://www.marketbeat.com/y/buys MarketBeat's Thomas Hughes is back with his monthly buy list, and this time he's zeroing in on five AI names that got caught in one of the wildest, most volatile summers he's seen in years. Great fundamentals, strong analyst sentiment, big institutional buying... and stocks still down twenty, thirty, even fifty percent from their highs. So what gives? Thomas breaks down why this summer's swings have been so disconnected from the actual news, what catalyst could bring "smart money" back to the table in September, and why he thinks the recent pullbacks in these five names are buying opportunities and not warning signs.

Joining me today is MarketBeat's Chris Markoch to break down the Mag 7 earnings results one by one.

We also preview what to expect from Amazon and Apple's earnings the same day, and why analysts think this could be one of the most selective earnings seasons in years. Whether you own these stocks or are watching from the sidelines, this breakdown covers what these earnings reports actually reveal about where AI spending is headed next.

Learn more about investing in REalloys at https://www.marketbeat.com/y/yt947/ The rare earth sector has been out of favor with investors lately... but the fundamentals behind it may be stronger than ever. Both the defense industry and the AI buildout depend entirely on rare earth materials and magnets, and a critical deadline is coming up fast that could reshape demand for years to come. Joining me today is Anupam Ghildyal with REalloys to break down why rare earths are so essential to defense systems, AI infrastructure, and everyday technology, and why the processing and magnet manufacturing side of the industry, not just mining, is where the real bottleneck lies. We get into the upcoming January 1st, 2027 DFARS deadline that will restrict Chinese-origin materials in U.S. defense systems, how that's already driving demand for domestic rare earth processors, and what investors should be watching as this sector works toward profitability. We also touch on names like MP Materials and USA Rare Earths that investors may already be familiar with in this space. If you're trying to understand why rare earths could be one of the most overlooked bottlenecks in both the defense and AI stories, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Don't miss Altimetry's limited FREE report on the energy sector (and the 'Dark Energy' stock that could be huge): https://www.marketbeat.com/y/yt946/ Tech had a brutal week... Alphabet fell 7% and Tesla dropped 13% after their earnings reports, sending the whole sector into a sell-off. But according to today's guest, this isn't the start of a bear market, it's a sector rotation, and there's a very specific place all that money is heading next. Joining me today is Rob Spivey from Altimetry Research to break down 3 stocks he's bullish on right now, including Baker Hughes, EQT, and Murphy Oil, all tied to the next phase of the AI infrastructure build-out through energy and natural gas demand. We also cover 2 stocks he thinks investors should stay away from, T-Mobile and Netflix, and the accounting-based research behind why the market may be mispricing both the winners and the losers here. We dig into why natural gas may be the most overlooked part of the AI story, how Uniform Accounting reveals profitability numbers that standard GAAP metrics miss, and why this rotation could last far longer than people expect.

Want more stock ideas? Check out our free article on 5 small-cap stocks where analysts see major upside: While tech stocks keep sliding, one sector just had its best week of the year... defense. This week's earnings reports from three of the biggest names in the industry all came in strong, sending stocks up double digits and proving this sector isn't just riding short-term headlines from the conflict with Iran, but a much longer modernization story. Joining me today is MarketBeat's Chris Markoch to break down the earnings from Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and RTX... what their record backlogs actually mean, why the market reacted so differently to these reports than it did to big tech, and which of these three names still has the most upside left according to analysts. We also talk about how this earnings strength could trickle down to some of the smaller defense and drone names investors have been watching, and what catalyst still needs to happen before those stocks can really take off.
