Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist, discusses U.S eco data. The JOLTS data offered kind of a mixed bag. While job openings surprised to the upside (7.391 million versus 7.1 million expected), so too did layoffs (1.786 million versus 1.614 million expected.)

Zoe Schneeweiss, Bloomberg Western Europe Economy Team Leader, discusses the OECD slashing its global economic forecasts due to Donald Trump's trade policies, citing the impact of tariffs and uncertainty on confidence and investment.

Mandeep Singh, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Tech Industry Analyst, discusses Constellation Energy agreeing to sell power from an Illinois nuclear plant to Meta Platforms as artificial intelligence sends power demand soaring.

Phil Orlando, Chief Equity Market Strategist and Head of Client Portfolio Management at Federates Hermess, discusses his outlook for the markets. Wall Street traders drove stocks higher as data showed the US labor market is holding up despite concerns about risks stemming from President Donald Trump’s tariff war.
