• Rate cut hopes are rising but the data says otherwise

  On this week’s Trader Talk, host Kenny Polcari is joined by macro analyst Tom Essaye of Sevens Report Research to break down what's happening with the Federal Reserve, Trump’s economic reset, and how investors should think about hard versus soft data. With markets clinging to rate cut hopes, Essaye warns that traders may be misreading the Fed’s signals—and underestimating the disruption Trump’s trade overhaul could cause. Together, they explore why investors must separate emotion from strategy and resist the urge to bet on a narrative rather than the numbers.

• Could Trump's economic chaos spark stagflation?

  In the latest episode of Trader Talk, Kenny Polcari speaks with Cameron Dawson, CIO at NewEdge Wealth, about why traditional recession indicators no longer hold the same weight in today’s post-pandemic market. Dawson sees slower growth ahead—not a recession—citing fading tailwinds like stimulus and labor gains. The two also discuss the recent pullback in the “Mag 7,” with Dawson urging investors to re-evaluate stretched valuations. The episode wraps with Polcari’s timeless shrimp scampi recipe. Garlicky Shrimp Scampi Ingredients Olive oil (about 1–2 tablespoons) 4 tablespoons butter (divided) 5 large garlic cloves, sliced 1 pound large shrimp, cleaned and deveined Salt & pepper (to taste) ½ cup dry white wine (approx.)
