On WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos talks with reporter Peter Rudegeair about this coming week's latest inflation gauge, the personal-consumption-expenditures price index, or PCE, and what’s going on with the price of eggs. Then they dive into what to expect from the slew of forthcoming housing data and what that could signal about mortgage rates. They also discuss Nvidia, Vistra and Constellation Energy earnings.

Later on the show, Telis and Peter are joined by Chris Hansen, founder and portfolio manager of the hedge fund Valiant Capital Management, to talk about AI-related stocks beyond the tech companies investing in AI, including Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, and chipmakers such as Nvidia. They discuss the power companies that provide the extra electricity that fuels data centers needed to support AI and how power companies may also be long-term winners in the AI race.

This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
