    Featuring:
    1) Mike Green, Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management, joins for an extended discussion on the outlook for equities, what's behind the jobs report figures, the "ETF-ification" of the market, and talks about why he believes the "obsession" with inflation is overblown. US stock futures rose and the dollar gained as China and the US prepared to hold their first confirmed trade talks since President Trump unleashed his global tariff war.
    2) Christel Rendu de Lint, co-CEO at Vontobel Asset Management, joins to discuss the global economic outlook amid the tariff environment and favorable asset classes post-tariff announcement. With China and the US preparing for trade talks, the meeting will focus on de-escalation rather than reaching a deal, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the current tariff rates aren’t sustainable.
    3) Frances Donald, Chief Economist at RBC Capital Markets, on slower growth and higher prices in the US economy. The Federal Reserve’s meeting on Wednesday is next up for investors, with traders looking for clues on how soon the central bank could embark on policy easing and how deep the rate-cutting cycle might be.
    4) Vishal Khanduja, Head of Broad Markets Fixed Income at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, on why today's Fed meeting won't be about a rate move, but decoding the Powell puzzle. US Treasuries slipped ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision, with investors betting on a slower pace of monetary easing due to data suggesting economic resilience. The Fed's decision and comments from Chair Jay Powell to be closely scrutinized for insight into officials' interpretation of recent data.
    5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including a WSJ story on high-schoolers with $70,000-a-year job offers and the FT's story on sandals in the workplace.Eric Mollo
