Summary

Guy Adami and Liz Thomas discuss the relatively quiet financial markets of the week. They delve into personal anecdotes to highlight how calmer periods can still lead to significant market movements. The conversation explores the performance of the S&P 500, bond market fluctuations, and the impact of macroeconomic data like the CPI print and retail sales reports. They also speculate on the potential consequences of an audit of Fort Knox on the gold market. Both hosts share insights on portfolio diversification strategies, the risks and rewards in the current investment environment, and the significance of key upcoming earnings reports, particularly Walmart's, as a barometer for consumer behavior. — FOLLOW US YouTube: @RiskReversalMedia Instagram: @riskreversalmedia Twitter: @RiskReversal LinkedIn: RiskReversal Media
