Host Jeremy Schwartz and Professor Siegel discuss a strong employment report and a softer-than-expected CPI print, highlighting rising real wages, easing rental inflation, and stabilization in unemployment claims. Professor Siegel also addresses growing AI-driven market anxiety, tariff developments, and why he believes the ongoing rotation away from the MAG-7 does not derail the broader bull market. (35:13) Jeremy is joined by Jeff Wenniger, Sam Rines, and Chris Gannatti to break down major global developments, including Russia’s potential return to the dollar system, Taiwan and Singapore’s strong GDP prints, and Japan’s election results strengthening fiscal and defense tailwinds. The group explores the global defense spending supercycle, Asia’s critical role in AI supply chains, and how AI disruption fears are driving sharp rotations within U.S. equities, particularly in software. They also debate whether AI-driven margin compression, pricing competition, and shifting capital flows signal a broader geographic and sector rotation toward international markets and non-tech sectors.
