US stocks pushed to fresh record highs, shaking off political noise around a DOJ probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, but the tension is far from over. Christine Short, Head of Research, TMX Datalinx discusses what strong Q4 earnings momentum means for 2026, and why President Trump’s renewed push to cap credit card fees is unsettling bank stocks. We also look at consumer credit health as a key test of the soft-landing narrative, and why investor confidence in Fed independence may quietly become one of this earnings season’s biggest risks.

US Markets Wrap: Chips Power the Rebound, AI Optimism Lifts Wall Street

Stocks slipped for a second straight session as tech and chip stocks pulled back, with Nvidia and Broadcom leading the declines amid Chinese trade restrictions.

Markets slipped from record highs as investors sold banks despite JPMorgan’s earnings beat, highlighting growing unease over policy risk and valuation. This episode unpacks why strong results weren’t enough to lift financials, how President Trump’s proposed credit-card rate caps and other interventionist ideas are rattling investors, and what softer core CPI means for the Fed’s rate path. With stocks brushing off geopolitics but reacting sharply to domestic policy noise, Jason Britton, Founder and CIO of Reflection Asset Management, weighs whether this is healthy profit-taking—or an early warning that political risk is being repriced.
