Ep 2. The G20 Summit Will Determine What the Fed Does Next

Welcome to the Thematic Signals podcast, the podcast previously known as Cocktail Investing, where we look to distill everyday noise into clear investing signals using our thematic lens and our 10 investing themes.

On this episode, host Chris Versace discusses the sharp June rebound in the stock market that is being fueled by “bad news is good news” with return of Fed related hopium for a rate cut. Recently Federal Reserve Chairman Powell confirmed the Fed is closely watching trade and tariff developments and “will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion.” As Chris explains, given the timing of the G20 meeting vs. the next Fed monetary policy meeting, those hoping for a June rate cut are likely to be very disappointed. Also on the podcast, several ripped from the headlines signals for a number of our investing themes, including Cleaner Living, Middle-Class Squeeze, Guilty Pleasure and Safety & Security.
