Bearish Sentiment Weighs on Stocks; Ukraine Launches Drone Attack on Russia

  • Summary

  • On today's podcast:

    1) The stock selloff moderates around the world as the world's richest lose more than $200 billion since President Trump's Inauguration. It comes as Wall Street strategists like Citi downgrade views on US equities. Investors remain cautious due to concerns about the American economy, tariffs, and government spending cuts.

    2) Ukraine launches its biggest attack yet against Russia ahead of talks with the US. Ukraine launched a record number of drone attacks on Russia, with air defenses downing 337 drones including dozens that targeted Moscow. Top US and Ukrainian officials are set to meet in Saudi Arabia to explore the potential for reaching a ceasefire, with the US seeking a clear commitment from Ukraine to a diplomatic resolution.

    3) House conservatives get behind a stopgap to avert a government shutdown. The House Freedom Caucus has backed a stopgap funding package, which would reduce and then freeze spending for six months, to help Speaker Mike Johnson pass the bill without Democratic support. The bill's fate is uncertain, with some Republicans, including Representative Thomas Massie, opposed to the measure, and Democrats' support still needed to clear the Senate.
